Kazuyaka

Kazuyaka is the Het ship between Kamisato Ayaka and Kaedehara Kazuha from the Game Series  Genshin Impact

Canon
While there currently are no canon interactions of Kazuha and Ayaka in the game, they share quite a lot of similarities. Kazuha helped the resistance, even being the one to block an attack made by the Shogun, and Ayaka secretly helped the Traveler withstand the Shogun. Kazuha and Ayaka also both have the same animation of sheathing their sword.

Ayaka and Kazuha are both five star sword users, and work extremely well together. Cryo and Anemo also cause the elemental reaction “Swirl”. Both characters are known to be some of the most powerful in the game. Ayaka has an alternative sprint, which helps travel around and makes ice-bridging more convenient, and Kazuha can boost you up in the air and reduce 20% stamina consumption while sprinting. It is notable that both are helpful for travelling.

Both of them have lost people close to them, with Ayaka’s being her parents, and Kazuha’s as his friend. Both have been inspired by their lost close ones, and share their qualities. In the Inazuma Archon Quest, Ayaka asks the Traveler to help some people who have lost their visions, and one of them ends in the victim of the Vision Hunt Decree deciding to pass on his ambitions to his disciples, which is very similar to how Kazuha shared his friend’s ambition.

In Ayaka’s “Favorite Food” line, she expresses that she want to try oversea foods more often, and Kazuha, being a ronin samurai who travels with Beidou and the Crux Crew, probably picked up some recipes from places that aren’t from Inazuma, and hence would be able to grant Ayaka’s wish of trying oversea food. Ayaka also states that to witness the Musou no Hitotachi and still live is quite a feat. Kazuha not only witnessed it, but also blocked it. Kazuha, on the other hand, mentions Ayaka in one of his voice-overs, saying that everyone living in Inazuma must have heard of her, and she is as perfect as a person could be, and wonders what she thinks of the state of Inazuma.

In the official animation, both Ayaka and Kazuha are seen. A maple leaf, which appears in many of Kazuha’s attacks, and also his character design, fell into Ayaka’s tea cup. Kazuha was seen sparring with Aether. In Ayaka’s official trailer, she talks about the art of sword and asked Thoma to spar with her.

Fanon
Kazuyaka is not one of the most popular ships, but many fanart and fanfictions of Kazuyaka have been made. Kazuyaka is constantly overshadowed by the more popular ships Thomayaka and Beikazu, as proven by the fact that this page has once been deleted.
