He is Ayaka's older brother, and both characters are expected to synergize well during combat.Yoimiya's rerun banners has shocked many players who have been eagerly waiting for Kazuha. The broken sub DPS unit hasn't returned to the game since his first banner, but rumors of a Kazuha rerun in patch 2.5 and 2.6 have been floating around for a long time.A leak on the r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks subreddit suggested that Kazuha and Venti will return in 2.6, but that seems untrue because BLANK is a more reliable leaker.As of now, players can wait for the 2.6 beta testing to begin for more information. As usual, data miners will be quick to reveal upcoming events, characters, weapons, and artifacts.
