One of the main appeals ofGenshin Impactis its characters, and the game’s business model, loot boxes called gacha banners, is like many other Japanese-stylized games reliant on these characters. As such, developer miHoYo puts extra care into the design and creation of each character, and fans eagerly await their reveal.
Kamisato Ayato is one of the most awaited characters inGenshin Impactright now, voiced by legendary voice actorAkira Ishidain Japanese, who also voiced Otto inHonkai. And now Ayato’s artwork was finally leaked.

The Ayato “Drip Marketing” artwork was leaked onReddit in /Genshin_Impact_leaks. The artwork was later reshared on Twitter by fans and other leakers:
The artwork most notably shows Kamisato Ayato wielding a katana coated in or made of Hydro energy. The full artwork has Ayato wielding a Hydro Vision too, confirming this first detail about his kit once and for all. The artwork also reveals Ayato’s resemblance with Ayaka, and how he has beauty marks just like his sister.
Now that this Drip Marketing artwork was leaked, it’s very likely miHoYo will officially reveal the same artwork alongside Ayato’s official profile earlier than planned. Ayato’s drip marketing should haveofficially been revealedon February 13 or 14, but it’ll likely happen today or this weekend now, just like what happened whenYae Miko’s artwork was leaked.
Genshin Impactleakers in the past mentioned that Ayatowill be released in Version 2.6, which will release on Jul 27, 2025. What do you think of Ayato’s design, and are you planning to swipe to pull him? Will you skip Yae for Ayato? Tell us in the comments below! And stay tuned on DualShockers as we’ll have like always a full summary of the Version 2.5 live stream happening this February 4.
Update:miHoYo officially revealed Ayato’s profile:
Kamisato Ayato ⧠Pillar of Fortitude, Head of the Kamisato Clan
As the head of the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayato is committed to maintaining the prosperity and stability of the region. At a glance, he is low-profile and graceful. He is not a fan of public appearances and does not seek to show his skills overtly. But those who do know him understand that he is not to be underestimated. Long ago, when the Yashiro Commission fell on hard times, and when the Kamisato Clan was on the verge of crumbling, it was this young man who rose to the occasion and stabilized the situation.
He could not have achieved his position without extraordinary resourcefulness and cunning. But perhaps, that impenetrable smile belies darker waves. However, the most intriguing thing is that in most of these negotiations in which he participates, he is not ruthless nor competitive, and is even willing to share the benefits so that everyone can get a relatively satisfactory piece of the pie. “What exactly is he up to?” is usually what people are thinking after all is said and done. However, now that everyone has a piece of that pie, perhaps what is on Kamisato Ayato’s mind isn’t so important.
