Kimiko Kitano

Kimiko Kitano is a teenage girl who resides near a crater. She appears in the third season episode "The Crater Girl."

History
Kimiko had no one really there for her ever since she began her mission in space, so when Swayzak infected her vessel amongst thousands of others, she considered the virus her only friend and complied to his insults. However, Kimiko was soon to be heartbroken as her spaceship crashed into Earth and formed a crater off the coast of the San Francisco Valley. Kimiko vowed never to leave that spot until Swayzak came back to her again.

TOM and Sara find her on a trip to Earth and provide her shelter in the Absolution. Kimiko relates her story to the duo and ask them if they know where Swayzak is. Upon hearing their response, Kimiko is shocked and almost saddened that her only friend is actually an interdimensional conqueror, but in the end, it doesn't change her view of him at all, as she chooses to search for him no matter what he's doing. Kimiko is last seen repairing her spaceship with TOM's help and flying off into the cosmos, hoping she'll find Swayzak.

Personality
Kimiko is a headstrong, lonesome young girl. She's naive and youthful, which led her to believe everything Swayzak said about her and her ship and that even though he said those things, he still really loved her. She considers Swayzak her only friend as no one was there for her after she launched her spaceship. Kimiko also shows a strong sense of determination, evidenced by the ending of the episode she appears in. She's also very emotional.
