A new set of interesting details about "Genshin Impact" Inazuma characters surfaced online, revealing additional information about Kazuha and Yoimiya.

The information came from a reliable industry insider and Twitter user Project Celestia. The tipster previously leaked that Inazuma characters like Yoimiya and Kazuha would arrive in "Genshin Impact" update 1.6. Unfortunately, the insider is now uncertain of the specific release date of these characters.

However, they compiled all the data they have uncovered about Kazuha and Yoimiya through a recent "Genshin Impact" deep-dive. Apparently, Kazuha is a five-star Anemo character who presumably wields a sword. Kazuha is a male playable character that could become available soon based on the recently uncovered data referencing his model, Elemental Burst, Elemental Art and weapon type.

We know people are interested in the Inazuman characters, so we did a deep-dive to compile all the data we currently have for Kazuha and Yoimiya.

We do not have any idea on their release dates.

This is VERY early information and highly subject to change.#ProjectCelestia pic.twitter.com/EueLbMzCg3

Kazuha was first uncovered through a data mining activity performed on "Genshin Impact closed beta test in November 2020. Based on the leaked image, Kazuha's appearance resembles Aether, the Traveler with red eyes and red streaks. His costume further triggers rumors about Kazuha being an Inazuma character.

Someone managed to get the CBT models into the highest quality we can achieve at the moment. If you look closely on some of them you can see what element they are.

In the leaked image, he wears a costume that seems like an item of traditional Japanese clothing. Inazuma is rumored to be "Genshin Impact's" adaptation of Japan, or at least some spots of the Southeast Asian country.

Another previously leaked Inazuma character confirmed to arrive soon in "Genshin Impact" is Yoimiya. Based on data compiled by the insider, Yoimiya is a five-star female character. She wields a bow and her element is Pyro. The leak also mentioned that her weapon of choice is a bow called Dreams of Drgonfell.

Apart from Kazuha and Yoimiya, another fan-favorite character that might release alongside Inazuma is Ayaka. The princess of the Kamisato has been rumored to launch in the game since November. The insider clarified in the tweet these details about Kazuha and Yoimiya are "very early information," which could still subject to change in their launch forms.

Rumors have it that miHoYo is extending the content timeline for "Genshin Impact" because of the game's success. While this is not yet confirmed, fans should temper their expectations about this leaked information. Just like all other leaks, they should take these details with a pinch of salt.
