EiKazu is the het ship between Kaedehara Kazuha and Raiden Ei from the Genshin Impact fandom.
Canon[]
Kazuha and Ei have not directly interacted as of now. However, they have very similar personalities and backstories, yet small differences between them. Kazuha is quiet, yet somewhat positive, and lost his friend. Similarily, Ei is quiet, attempting to bringing herself out of isolation in the Plane of Euthymia, rather more mean and lost her sister and close friends.
Their designs are very contrasting but also similar. Kazuha has red and orange accents, with black and white clothing and hair. Ei has purple and dark pink accents, with black parts of clothing. Though they did not meet yet, they have an artwork together. Even though we do not know Ei's opinion on Kazuha, Kazuha's voiceline about Raiden Shogun states that he don't resent her because of what happened with his friend, but because of the Vision Hunt Decree, saying that the Shogun was not unjustified in her conduct. Because of this, we can theorize that Kazuha might not oppose the Shogun anymore after the Vision Hunt Decree was repealed.
Inazuma Archon Quest[]
Omnipresence Over Mortals[]
After Traveler and Paimon defeated Signora, they walk past the entrance of Tenshukaku. Kazuha, Gorou, and Gorou's army ran to Traveler. Raiden Shogun appears behind Traveler, attempting to attack them. Kazuha friend's vision then activates, and Kazuha teleports in front of Raiden Shogun, defending Traveler and Paimon by trying to push off her blade. Kazuha friend's vision activated even stronger until Kazuha can finally push off her blade. Raiden Shogun then attacks him off the stairs of Tenshukaku's entrance. Gorou rushed to help Kazuha, both then saw Kazuha friend's vision deactivate again.
Akitsu Kimodameshi[]
Test of Courage[]
After Traveler find the Dango Milk in the Test of Courage, Kazuha, Traveler, and Paimon all decide to head back to where they came from. As Kazuha was walking away, Traveler spots Ei. Kazuha turned around and asked if something was the matter, then he saw Ei turned around, looking in the view. Kazuha saw she's in the Test of Courage too, and decided not to meet with her to avoid unnecessary complications. He then took half of the Dango Milk and left.
Quotes[]
- “Kazuha firmly believes that everyone is entitled to their hopes and dreams and that no one has the right to take them, not even a god. For this reason, he opposes the Raiden Shogun and those who support her. Despite his values, he isn't prideful and can acknowledge the strong fighting prowess and honorable conduct of those he personally disagrees with. He sees his friend's duel as honorable and noble, but also considers his subsequent execution by the Shogun to be both fair and justified.”
- — Kazuha's Personality
- “I've asked myself this question many times since leaving Inazuma. Do I simply resent the Raiden Shogun because of what happened in that duel? Because of the lethal stroke she dealt my dear friend? I've thought about this a good long time, and I believe the answer is no. My friend died an honorable death in that duel, and the Shogun was not unjustified in her conduct. My dissatisfaction with her has its roots in the Vision Hunt Decree. No one has the right to rob another of their hopes and dreams — not even a god.”
- — Kazuha's voiceline about Raiden Shogun
- “You speak of the descendant of the Kaedehara clan? Then isn't he... Wait, he also possesses an Anemo Vision? ...And even managed to take on the Raiden Shogun's Muson no Hitotachi? Hehe... Ahahahaha!”
- — Scaramouche's voiceline about Kazuha
- Kazuha – “Ah, I see. So she is at the Test of Courage, too.”
- Kazuha – “To avoid any unnecessary complications, I'd prefer not to meet with her. You may pass on my regards.”
- Kazuha – “There is a lot of Dango Milk here. I'll take half of it back and leave the rest to you.”
- Kazuha – “Till we meet again.”

Fanon[]
EiKazu is relatively a rare ship. The main reason being that the fandom thinks Kazuha dislikes Raiden Shogun, especially for killing his friend. This ship is sometimes more seen as platonic than romantic. Since they both are in some teams, there are a decent amount of memes of Kazuha feeling uncomfortable or insulted he's in the same team composition as Raiden. This ship is mostly portrays in angst, since they have similar backstories, or 'Enemies to Lovers', since they have opposing views of the Vision Hunt Decree or Inazuma in general.
This pair is overshadowed by Ei's more popular ship, EiMiko, Kazuyaka, and KazuScara, Kazuha's more popular ship. On A03, this ship only has 19 works.
