Amaterasu is Kiriko’s Mythic skin, and it is not only beautiful but also references her Japanese heritage. Amaterasu is a key figure in Japanese mythology, known as the Japanese sun goddess. This skin is customisable, but each iteration perfectly captures the heavenly nature of Amaterasu. 

Antifragile Kira-Kira

The K-pop skins from both Le Sserafim collaborations are arguably some of the best Overwatch 2 skins, reflecting the creative quirkiness that comes with K-pop concert outfits. Kiriko’s Antifragile Kira-Kira does exactly this while maintaining the essence of Kiriko’s rebellious attitude and tomboyish style. 

exo-VU7PES

Part of the Cyber Animals collection, exo-VU7PES is a futuristic design for Kiriko, giving her a cyberpunk-like fox skin. The skin includes robotic fox ears and a clear, robotic fox tail, along with other cool fox-themed features, such as a fox hair clip and fox-shaped shoulder pads. The unique style of the skin is very cool, and the icy blue, white and orange colour palette is perfectly suited for the outfit.

Hashimoto

The Mirrorwatch Overwatch 2 skins are particularly fun and creative, reimagining the heroes as villains and vice versa. Kiriko’s Mirrorwatch skin transforms her into a member of the Hashimoto clan, a Japanese crime syndicate that Kiriko, the hero, protects her community from.  Her Hashimoto skin features a black outfit, black makeup, and a black fox mask, giving her a more menacing look. She also has white spiky hair, which contrasts with the darkness of the rest of her skin. 

Hinotori

Hinotori is a particularly creative Kiriko skin that combines a cyborg-like design with the Hinotori, which means “phoenix” in Japanese. The skin features a phoenix-like orange and yellow colour scheme, with phoenix feather patterns on Kiriko’s healing ofuda and coat. Her body is designed to resemble a cyborg, featuring seams on her face and robotic eyes. 

Hydrangea

The Floral Dreams skin line is one of the prettiest collections of skins in Overwatch 2, and Kiriko’s Hydrangea skin is part of this collection. The skin represents the hydrangea, which is a flower prominent in Kiriko’s home country of Japan. It is one of the more unique skins for Kiri, as it showcases her softer, feminine side by featuring a white and pink hydrangea-decorated dress with long, flowing pink and purple locks. Despite the change to Kiriko’s usual style, Hydrangea still suits her excellently while being a beautifully designed outfit.

Inari

As we all know, Kiriko has a strong bond with her spirit fox, and this bond is emphasised all the more so with the gorgeous Inari skin. Kiriko gets her own fox tail and ears with this skin, as well as an outfit that seems to have been inspired by the shrine maiden traditional robes of Japan. With plenty of cultural references and a fitting design, Inari is undoubtedly one of Kiriko’s best.

Matsuri 

Kiriko in traditional attire holds a glowing yellow slice, adorned with colorful accents and a straw hat, set in a vibrant environment.

Matsuri is another skin that reflects Kiriko’s Japanese heritage while also being an impressive cosmetic in its own right. Matsuri is a term that means “festival” in Japanese, and Kiriko wears a festive version of her regular outfit to represent that traditional festival feeling. She also wears a traditional Japanese kasa hat, which is a nice touch that adds authenticity to the scene. 

Streetwear

Streetwear was the final reward of the Season 18 battle pass, and it is one of her best looks, as it combines her tomboyish nature with a street theme. Kiriko is usually pretty well-covered with her skins due to her silhouette, but she gets to wear a crop top with the Streetwear skin, which is a nice change. Her silhouette remains the same, as the upper part of her jumpsuit is tied around her waist, maintaining the flowing look she normally has. One of the best parts of this skin is her cap, which includes two large fox ears on top. Her blonde hair colour also fits both her character and her general design. This is a bit of a different look for Kiriko, but it is also one of her best.

Witch

Witch is a Halloween Kiriko skin, and it is undeniably one of her best. She dons a fantasy-style witch outfit complete with boots, a belt, and a witch hat. She also has a unique hairstyle and a witchy makeup look. The design of the Witch skin is creative and well executed, while also fitting in well with Kiriko’s personality.

How to get Kiriko skins in Overwatch 2

There are a few different ways to get Kiriko skins in Overwatch 2. Players can purchase them from the in-game shop, which has a selection of rotating skins. These have to be purchased with credits, which can be exchanged for real money. 

Some skins can only be purchased in bundles. Other methods of obtaining Kiriko skins include participating in event challenges and claiming Twitch Drops. Amaterasu is a unique Kiriko skin as it is Mythic. This means it can only be purchased with Mythic Prisms in the Mythic shop.

Kiriko is a support hero in Overwatch 2 who was released alongside Overwatch 2 on October 4, 2022. She is a female ninja, also known as a kunoichi, and a healer who has a kitsune fox spirit that accompanies her and aids her in healing.

Kiriko uses her healing ofuda as her primary healing method, but she also has a protection suzu that not only heals but also cleanses enemies. Kiriko can also use her kunai to attack enemies and can teleport to allies with her swift step skill. 

Kiriko is associated with Genji and Hanzo, as her family are friends with the Shimadas. She trained with the two of them when they were younger, and as a result, she possesses the same wall-climbing ability that they do.
