Kino (Japanese: キノ) is a playable character in Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected. A Nopon, he is Riki and Oka's adopted son and, by extension, Nene's adopted brother.
Personality[]
Kino is very shy but aims to become a hero to honour his father by helping people in need and making friends. He is fairly responsible for a Nopon child and has a strong moral compass. He likes to take on the supporting role for Shulk during battles.
Appearance[]
Kino is a very young Nopon with a green fur with neon yellow highlight and brown eyes. He wields a gun-like weapon that launches Ether attacks. He wears a purple and blue sleeveless jacket with a silver brooch-like ring and a lavender, purple, light blue, and yellow flag attached to it. He also has three pale orange markings on his stomach.
Story[]
Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected[]
Kino, while out in Colony 9, stows away with his sister Nene on the Junks when Shulk and Melia leave for Alcamoth. The two are discovered after the Junks is shot out of the sky. Kino apologises to Shulk for the trouble, saying he only wanted to help the two and become the next Heropon like his father. He continues to help Shulk and Melia on their journey to defeat the Fog King.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3[]
In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Kino reappears in a flashback during From Atop Her Throne, when the party's words of encouragement reminds Melia of her old companions.
In battle[]
Kino has the same Arts as Sharla thus acts mainly as a healer.
