The Boys is over, and Karen Fukuhara is feeling all the emotions.
Fukuhara feels delighted that her character, Kimiko, played such a large role in the pathway to supervillain Homelander’s death. She also has an appreciation for the show’s writers who helped develop Kimiko’s rich story across five seasons. And there’s a lot of love for the cast and crew who defined Fukuhara’s time on The Boys.
Kimiko uttered one word during the season five finale, which signified a return to form for her character, who was mute throughout the first four installments of the series. Fukuhara merely said “bye” to her co-stars in the final moment when the on-screen Boys were convened for the last time, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
“There’s not much dialogue that happens, but there’s a lot behind those words,” Fukuhara tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It was truly saying goodbye to the cast, whom I love so much, and the crew and the whole experience and a chapter of my life. There’s so many emotions.”
