Which actress portrays Kimiko in The Boys?

Karen Fukuhara portrays Kimiko in The Boys. The character is formally named Kimiko Miyashiro, though she is also called the Female, a reference to her comic-book counterpart.

Kimiko is introduced as a traumatized superhuman rescued from a terrorist organization by Frenchie and the Boys. She is initially unable to speak and communicates largely through sign language, but her fierce combat skills and regenerative abilities make her one of the team’s most formidable members.

Fukuhara had already appeared as Katana in Suicide Squad (2016) before joining The Boys in 2019. Her performance helped give Kimiko emotional depth beyond the character’s brutal action scenes. A common mix-up is confusing Fukuhara with other Asian-American actresses such as Kelly Hu, Ming-Na Wen, or Maggie Q; none of those actresses plays Kimiko in the series.
