~ Kiriko

Kiriko is a Support hero in Overwatch 2.

Background[]

Kiriko Yamagami was raised by her grandmother and mother in Kanezaka. Her grandmother taught her about taking care of the Fox Sanctuary, traditions and the importance of community, which made Kiriko end up shaping her combat style based on that. His grandmother taught him the ways of healing and how to invoke the Fox Spirit, where they ended up joining together.

After Kiriko's grandmother died, Kiriko returned home to free her community from the Hashimotos' clutches. She became the caretaker of Tetsuzan Shrine, and got her own apartment. However, her mother did care for her, and paid regular visits to her daughter, much to Kiriko's dismay. During the Fox Festival, Kiriko returned home with boxes of donuts, where she saw Hashimoto thugs attacking Yoshida, where, Kiriko ended up making all the Hashimotos run and thus ended up healing Yoshida. After seeing that, Kiriko and her mother made up, and Kiriko agreed to live with her mother, at least for a while.
