Karen Fukuhara talks about Kimiko's relationship with Frenchie

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Fukuhara spilled beans about Kimiko’s relationship with Frenchie in the show. She said that she thinks in season 1, it is pretty honest and straightforward. Karen added that Kimkio in The Boys needs Frenchie, and Frenchie, in a very unconditional, loving way, needs Kimiko as well. Talking about The Boys Season 2, she said that the audience will see the two of them growing apart a little bit, and it comes from her wanting to be her own person, and find her own path and individuality outside of Frenchie. So there's a little bit of clashing that goes on, added the actor.
