Audiences have long speculated if their relationship leans more toward the platonic or romantic - the two even share a kiss before sh–, inevitably, hits the fan - and Fukuhara is reluctant to put a label on things. Season 3 of the Prime Video hit is also significant for Kimiko’s other half, Frenchie (Tomer Capone), the character that’s been by her side through it all.

Upon her Season 1 introduction as The Female, Kimiko has fought to overcome her oppressive past, where she and her brother were indoctrinated by the Shining Light Liberation Army, a terrorist organization, which trafficked them to the U.S. As for “The Boys,” Fukuhara is thrilled to continue her journey with the character, who had a close call this season with losing her super-strength powers and healing capabilities thanks to Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles).
