— Official Description

**Kairo** is an Agent in *Valorant*.

Kiritani Shoko (Japanese: 桐谷 硝子) is a radiant hailing from Tokyo, Japan. She possesses the ability to teleport and traverse through the rift with the assistance of a kitsune mask passed down from her ancestors. She is also the older sister of Yoru, and looked after him for most of their lives. Besides being a caretaker of her brother, Shoko was also a vigilante who often participated in shady Night Market dealings to make money.

After raiding Kingdom Corporation's main HQ in Tokyo in search of answers to Yoru's rift-related sickness, Shoko destroyed the top floor of Kingdom's HQ and sacrificed her life in an attempt to protect her brother. Through officially pronounced dead by Kingdom, she was held hostage by them and used as a test subject for her rift teleportation abilities.

Years later, Kingdom's exploitations of her radiance came into the public eye as "strange red rifts" appearing all over the world. Yoru, who had evidence of Shoko still being alive, went on a solo mission to save his sister from Kingdom's clutches. He is later assisted in her rescue by other agents of the VALORANT Protocol, and Shoko is brought to VALORANT's Headquarters with little to no signs of brain activity. With Sage's assistance, she is brought back to a conscious state, though many of her memories are fragmented or gone completely. Following her resurrection, she begins training with other protocol members while also relearning about her past and her powers as VALORANT agent, "Kairo".
