Karen Fukuhara is Hoping That Kimiko Will Fight Homelander Like Arya Fought the Night King in ‘Game of Thrones’

As a devoted fan who’s been following The Boys since its inception, I must say that Karen Fukuhara‘s recent interview on the I’ve Never Said This Before With Tommy DiDario podcast was a delightful treat! It’s always fascinating to hear the actors’ perspectives and insights, especially when it comes to characters like Kimiko who often take a backseat in discussions.


“The Boys” is a globally acclaimed superhero television show, wrapping up its fourth season on July 18, 2024. At first, responses to the new season were mild, but as it progressed, the series has been gathering momentum and ended up being well-received, earning a “Certified Fresh” status with impressive ratings.

Throughout the fourth season, there were numerous intriguing and unexpected moments, and while we’ve delved into several characters, Kimiko, whose most dramatic twist yet occurred in the season finale, has not been a frequent topic of conversation for us. However, that is about to change in this report as we will be focusing more on her character.

In this piece, we will share insights from Karen Fukuhara’s latest interview on the “I’ve Never Said This Before With Tommy DiDario” podcast. During the conversation, Fukuhara opened up about various intriguing aspects of Kimiko, the audition journey, and even aspects of her personal life.

On the “I’ve Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario” podcast, Karen Fukuhara disclosed a desired action for the last season of “The Boys.” She mentioned that there was a particular fight scene she aspired to perform.

TD: If you could choose just one aspect for your character that the talented writers might develop, something you would eagerly anticipate portraying, what would that be?

User: Gosh, I’d be thrilled to imagine a confrontation between Kimiko and Homelander. However, let’s tread carefully, as Homelander is incredibly powerful, and such an encounter might not bode well for Kimiko. Speaking of unexpected victories, remember Arya Stark from ‘Game of Thrones’? Her triumph over the White Walkers was simply breathtaking – so unanticipated yet awe-inspiring. It was fascinating to see her take them down. Perhaps it could be Kimiko who defeats Homelander, though I fear she might suffer in the process. Fingers crossed it doesn’t come to that. I really hope not… maybe not.

Based on my years of martial arts training and observing numerous fights, I strongly believe that Kimiko has a good chance of surviving. Her strategic thinking and calculated moves set her apart from others who might act impulsively or based on ego. I’ve seen many a seasoned fighter fall to a seemingly weaker opponent due to their own recklessness. But Kimiko, she’s different – she fights smartly and wisely. So, while it’s impossible to predict the outcome of any fight with absolute certainty, my gut feeling is that Kimiko will come out on top.

KF: I agree, it seems they advise us not to verbalize our ideas too soon, as saying them out loud might prevent them from being written into the show. They suggest that by vocalizing an idea, we make it more imaginable and thus less unique or original. Therefore, it’s better to keep quiet about future predictions.

As someone with a keen interest in the field of [relevant topic], I found the perspective presented by Fukuhara absolutely fascinating!
