Kiriko has built up quite the fanbase since her introduction into the Overwatch 2 roster. She is one of the most popular support heroes, and no one can deny that amazing character design. When you add the adorable fox spirit, you get a package deal of cuteness. In a roster of characters that all seem to have much more experience than Kiriko, it is not a stretch to wonder just how old the character is in Overwatch 2.
What is Kiriko age in Overwatch 2? Answered
According to Blizzard, Kiriko is in her early 20s. Kiriko Kimori was born in Kanezaka and raised by her mother and grandmother. Her origin story reveals that she never wanted to strictly follow the path that each of her family members pushed her into, and instead desired to forge her own path using both the old and new ways to protect her home.
Her youthful energy is very apparent in the game, as she often jokes with her other teammates and sasses right back with clever wit if she finds herself the butt of their jokes. She is obviously one of the youngest in the human roster, sharing a similar age to Brigitte.

Overwatch 2’s diverse lineup gives everyone a chance to relate to a character. Not only are there heroes from all walks of life or locations on the globe, but they all have unique talents and traits that make them stand out from each other. Kiriko and her Kitsune spirit will likely remain a popular choice for players who enjoy youthful energy and support the team.
