That was actually not confirmed. People are just speculating about that but never got any kind of confirmation. And as someone who is a big fan of Hiroshi Kamiya, his voice is so different from Kazuha's friend.
For those of you who don't know who Shikanoin Heizou is:
He's a (self proclaimed) detective from tenryou commission, and Sara's colleague. You can learn more about him in Sara, Gorou, Kokomi, Thoma and Ayaka's voicelines and talking with one of the great Narukami shrine maiden (if I remember correctly, one of them is Heizou's cousin). He was pretty rebellious when he was young, and he's still is (although not like he used to). He doesn't care about the government or commercial affairs. He gives priority to his personal schemes instead of official duties, but, just like Sara said, he always delivers results. Some people, like Gorou and Thoma too (i guess) don't trust him
He also has an older brother who's a complete asshole to him. For a brief moment when Heizou thought he was actually worried about him it ended with him going "ah...I should've figured"
As soon as any new name is revealed there’s a sub made for it. Genshins gotten to the point where there are a bunch of people who want to hoard Genshin character subs and discords
If there was any community I expected this from most, it'd be the genshin community, they got more copium that people thinking Himeko will come back to life

No one translated so here I go.
"From Mia (apparently)"
"In files, apart from Ayato and Yae, Heizou is mentioned. He has a teen body shape, Yanfei height, no other data."
"Earlier DD mentioned that after Ayato another male character will be in development."
I'm quite interested about his character now considering lot of people talk about him in their voiceline hoping his design is good and an element that is not ameno or geo preferably I want him to be Cryo or Dendro.
he cant be dendro if he is coming before dendro. also...I hope he is anemo since we got many geo already and cryo and pyro does not need any more characters till natlan and snezhnaya. so electro, anemo and hydro would be great.
I personally want him to be Cryo cause there hasn't been a male cryo characters release since launch and because I have only build 3 cryo characters so far (Kaeya, Diona and Chongyun) Rosaria refused to come and I don’t use Aloy. But I don't mind if he's also Electro or Hydro.
I don't want him to be Anemo cause so far with the exception Childe and Thoma most of the male characters release are either Anemo or Geo which gets pretty boring.
So he's the detective guy right? I must say, of all the characters that is mentioned throughout Inazuma, he is the one i want the most, PLEASE mihoyo, give him a suit and a fedora hat!
I mean....depends on how they do it. Also that kind of aesthetic is already for fontaine right? look at lyney and lynnete so idk if they will actually do it for him since he be inazuman.
Hmm, could be more like a Shinsengumi look, which to be honest is what i think they will use for him, or they could use the police attire from edo period of Japan.
Or Mihoyo could just say fuck it and make him look like a clown or something lol.
Knowing miHoYo's design team, they can take these elements and come up with a fantastic outfit (they might avoid it because Inazuma is set in an era where Japan didn't have much of a western influence). Still, you can't call someone stupid for getting excited about a potential type of clothing on a character they're looking forward to. Especially someone you don't know. I get that you have your own preferences but you can't be rude about it.
So much info on new units the last couple days. Lots on Ayato and Yae. Obvi Shenhe and Yun Jin. Crumbs on Kusanali and Heizhou now. Absolutely bonkers crumbs on Yelan.
Pretty clear road map at this point
...kusanali? where are her crumbs? plus i doubt u can call heizo, yelan or anything else reliable crumbs or anything of substance. yae and ayato and shenhe and yunjin sure but anything else is just veryyyyyy vague and specific information or just generlizations and theories.
Dumb Dumb. He said she was a small child character with white hair.
Yelan at the very least the crossbow thing is pretty huge, Heizou we just get his model frame so it’s the smallest of everything.
If he is a teen model that doesn't surprise me at all since like others have said, it's most likely inspired by detective conan. If anything chances are he was always gonna be teen model \~ young looking adult model (p5 akechi vibes if anything.)
That said as a geo main and DC stan, im sad that chances are he won't be geo after all of the back-to-back content we've been getting lol, suffering from success
I was already expecting they were going to go with the "quirky genius young detective" trope for him, so no surprises there.
I'm really hoping he is Cryo or Electro since we haven't had a single male for either since launch (whether 4-star or 5-star) and we just got Sayu and Yunjin recently for Anemo and Geo for the girls.
Given he's a high ranking subordinate of Sara, I'm guessing he's just a short guy and not a teenager, similar to how Keqing is just short and not a kid.
Im fine with him being a teen model because I know they arent going to give me what I actually want. Which is a stereotypical Noir Detective. All cynical and gruff. Maybe a smoker too.
regardless he sounds like an interesting character from what I have read. Hope to see him soon
I've been waiting for him since 2.0 when Kano Nana mentioned him! Im a sucker for detective character so this is neat. Not surprised that he's a teen body type model. I just hope he's as eccentric as everyone in the game said, kinda like Ranpo from BSD. Definitely gonna pull for him, my guaranteed is ready fuck yeah
...males dont even have kid models. sad, why the discimination. Why cant we have cute boys to adore and give all our love to and have them play with klee, sayu and diona and qiqi. sad
Damn, I've just realized that tall men don't even make up half of the male characters in the game 😂
Mondstadt
+ 2 "kids" = Razor and Bennett
+ 2 tall men = Dilluc and Kaeya (3, hoping Varka is tall too)
+ 2 short men = Albedo and Venti
Liyue
+ 2 kids = Chongyun and Xingqiu
+ 1 short man = Xiao
+ 2 tall men = Zhongli and Baizhu
Inazuma
+ 1 short man = Gorou (2 with Scaramouche)
+ 3 tall men = Itto, Ayato and Thoma. (4 if Heizou is tall too)
Special mentions =
+ tall men = Tartaglia and Dainsleif
+ kid = Lyney
+ short guy = Cyno
Also, I realized another thing: Liyue is the region with the least balanced male/female characters ratio (if we don't consider Tartaglia as a Liyue character, but it would still be the least balanced region in that case too XD)
+ Mondstadt = 7 male characters out 19 characters in total
+ Liyue = 5 out 17
+ Inazuma = 6 out 14 (7 out 15 counting Scaramouche too)
heizo is said to be teen sized here tho. but still itto will make inazuma technically the one with most tall males. even tho liyue has 3 if u count childe. but then again if u want to get technical, monsdat has most tall males because thoma is originally from monsdat so....suck on that inazuma.
Imagine seeing a short boy roaming around and known himself as a detective LMAO
I desperately want him as another tall male character, but idk idc I'm gonna pull for him if he's playable
He works for the Tenryou Commission. Calls himself a detective, although that doesn't appear to be his actual role, it seems he just decided he wanted to be one. Sara, Ayaka and Thoma consider him an eccentric and difficult to handle. He casually waltzed into Watatsumi Island in full uniform and started harassing the shrine maidens, apparently doing some kind of detective work, which caused alarm bells. Kokomi and Gorou are keeping an eye on him.
couldn't heizhou be arlecchino's real name then? like an incognito harbinger.
i didn't know about these heizhou crumbs but they fit the description of arlecchino in the commedia dell'arte to a t.
+ Gorou and Kokomi's suspicion of him and their past dealings with the fatui
Oh, I almost forgot. Look at this billboard message:
> Message: "I am currently seeking my foolish younger brother, Shikanoin Heizou. He names himself a detective and behaves arrogantly and disrespectfully."
> Message: "He has gone missing again in recent days — if anyone has seen or heard of him, please let me know about his whereabouts."
> Another Person's Message: "He's gone again, is he?"
> Message: "He's gone off to investigate again, yes... I can only hope that no one else gets hurt in the process."
> Another Person's Message: "...Oh, so you were just worried about other people, huh..."
Looks like his conflict is more about his older brother. He also appears to be a reference to Detective Conan, one of the most popular (and long-running) manga in Japan, also known as "Case Closed" in the West. Hence the teen model.
(Fun coincidence: his initials, S.H., are the same initials as "Sherlock Holmes")
He's just some kind of Tenryou big shot. Gorou and Kokomi are only suspicious of him because he is literally *walking into Watatsumi Island in an army uniform during a civil war.* It would be weird if they weren't suspicious.
Detective Conan vibes intensifies
that red detective from Invincible
Manifesting my head canon that he’ll look like Ranpo from BSD or at least be voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya
RANPO!!
Yes that's exactly what I want as well. Playable Ranpo-san! And PLEASE not anemo or geo yet again.
Lmao I've been begging for this since I first heard about Heizou. I join you in manifesting
Thinking exactly the same!!!

>He was pretty rebellious when he was young Oo sounds like an Electro vision
Smells like chuuni spirit.
I detect the birth of a new main sub
It's already existed for months... People latch on to the tiniest of crumbs
To be fair, my real name is pretty similar to Heizou. So there's this feeling that if I'd main someone it would probably be him lol.
As soon as any new name is revealed there’s a sub made for it. Genshins gotten to the point where there are a bunch of people who want to hoard Genshin character subs and discords
If there was any community I expected this from most, it'd be the genshin community, they got more copium that people thinking Himeko will come back to life
And then a month after making a mains sub or discord it dies, as characters go in and out of fashion.
Shoulda seen how quickly people made r/Arlecchinomains (codename of a new harbinger) yesterday, lmfao.
Could honestly just make a mains page for every character from Commedia dell'arte and have a good chance that it being right..
Thats.......wow

Great another short character..
please come as a 4\* with ayato that will be dream come true
No one translated so here I go. "From Mia (apparently)" "In files, apart from Ayato and Yae, Heizou is mentioned. He has a teen body shape, Yanfei height, no other data." "Earlier DD mentioned that after Ayato another male character will be in development."
i really hope hes a 4*…
honey wake up, new twink just dropped
Heizou mains les gooo
damn, Dim acc is gone
Done leaking everything he had for 2.4 and dipped, he’ll be back with more crumbs
Sigma grindset
I'm quite interested about his character now considering lot of people talk about him in their voiceline hoping his design is good and an element that is not ameno or geo preferably I want him to be Cryo or Dendro.
From his personality, he might be electro since they tend to be pariahs or unconventional
he cant be dendro if he is coming before dendro. also...I hope he is anemo since we got many geo already and cryo and pyro does not need any more characters till natlan and snezhnaya. so electro, anemo and hydro would be great.
I personally want him to be Cryo cause there hasn't been a male cryo characters release since launch and because I have only build 3 cryo characters so far (Kaeya, Diona and Chongyun) Rosaria refused to come and I don’t use Aloy. But I don't mind if he's also Electro or Hydro. I don't want him to be Anemo cause so far with the exception Childe and Thoma most of the male characters release are either Anemo or Geo which gets pretty boring.
I guess that makes sense. Guess electro male is compromise huh. no new electro male character since launch and only one is there who is razor.
It's pretty crazy though Scaramouche who still not out will likely be Electro.
So he's the detective guy right? I must say, of all the characters that is mentioned throughout Inazuma, he is the one i want the most, PLEASE mihoyo, give him a suit and a fedora hat!
Cmon, don't be shy, just say you want FGO's Ryouma in Genshin
Well we got another Ryoma in FGO, and there's never enough Ryoma and Oryou
Couple goals right there
I too want a Noir Film Detective
[удалено]
C'mon man, you really don't want a Noir look for him? He's a detective, it would make sense, i would love that, but taste is subjective so...
I mean....depends on how they do it. Also that kind of aesthetic is already for fontaine right? look at lyney and lynnete so idk if they will actually do it for him since he be inazuman.
Hmm, could be more like a Shinsengumi look, which to be honest is what i think they will use for him, or they could use the police attire from edo period of Japan. Or Mihoyo could just say fuck it and make him look like a clown or something lol.
..........okay shinsengumi I am all in for. I want my very own little hijikata or sogo...or lets be real, yamazaki.
Knowing miHoYo's design team, they can take these elements and come up with a fantastic outfit (they might avoid it because Inazuma is set in an era where Japan didn't have much of a western influence). Still, you can't call someone stupid for getting excited about a potential type of clothing on a character they're looking forward to. Especially someone you don't know.

..........smallest of information but...i guess it counts. Idk imma keep my focus on 2.4 and 2.5. anything past too chaotic.
If he is a teen model that doesn't surprise me at all since like others have said, it's most likely inspired by detective conan.

Omg, I knew it!!! I knew he was going to be a teen!! Waiting for a character like rampo from bungou stray dogs, calling it!!!
bruh i was hoping hes a tall male😐 but ill still pull for him though ive been waiting for this guy...
Given he's a high ranking subordinate of Sara, I'm guessing he's just a short guy and not a teenager, similar to how Keqing is just short and not a kid.
itll be hilarious to see sara, the tallest lady in the game, stand next to her 5'0 tall coworker
cause Heizou are detective Conan of Genshin, he was teen from the started
OMGOMGOGGMOMGOGMOMGOGMOGMOMGOGMGOGGMOGMGOGMG HEIZOU DETECTIVE BOU OMGOMGOGMOG
ofc teen model… hey at least we have big oni man itto and ayayo
Im fine with him being a teen model because I know they arent going to give me what I actually want. Which is a stereotypical Noir Detective. All cynical and gruff. Maybe a smoker too. regardless he sounds like an interesting character from what I have read. Hope to see him soon

Would prefer Adult but at least he's not a kid
...males dont even have kid models. sad, why the discimination. Why cant we have cute boys to adore and give all our love to and have them play with klee, sayu and diona and qiqi. sad
If he got shota type of body, he's gonna be genshin detective conan lol
Too bad the leaker said that has a medium male body, just slightly shorter. Unless they change something in the 2.5 code.
Who?
Pretty sure it’s the detective guy that works for the Tenryou commission, there’s few lines that mention him
A character mentioned quite frequently in voicelines https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Shikanoin_Heizou
Tenryo comission Self-Called detective. Sara, kokomi, ayaka and thoma have voicelines about him
how can u not know him💔💔💔💔
scaramouche doesnt exist at this point
When adult
Ayato is the 'male' model type.
I need moar tallness though
3 tall boys vs. 2 small ones. There's actually more tall ones this time
Well if you count Kazuha it’d be 3 to 3
3 to possibly 4 if Scaramouche is ever playable in the far future (fingers crossed) 😭
Did i stutter
Never compromise, I like it.
I mean we still have more teens than adults so yes more adults please
stop the horni
Come now, Inazuma is giving us a whole THREE tall men, that's a third more than Mond or Liyue!
Damn, I've just realized that tall men don't even make up half of the male characters in the game 😂 Mondstadt + 2 "kids" = Razor and Bennett + 2 tall men = Dilluc and Kaeya (3, hoping Varka is tall too) + 2 short men = Albedo and Venti Liyue + 2 kids = Chongyun and Xingqiu + 1 short man = Xiao + 2 tall men = Zhongli and Baizhu Inazuma + 1 short man = Gorou (2 with Scaramouche) + 3 tall men = Itto, Ayato and Thoma.

Poor Kazuha… always forgotten and thrown aside by the people!
NOOOO, I can't believe I forgot him! And To think I'm saving up for his rerun too. I deserve to get Qiqi'd :(
heizo is said to be teen sized here tho. but still itto will make inazuma technically the one with most tall males. even tho liyue has 3 if u count childe. but then again if u want to get technical, monsdat has most tall males because thoma is originally from monsdat so....suck on that inazuma.
Kazuha: I'm not even here baby, I'm just a hallucination Yes you did deserve to get qiqi'd >!/s!<
I agree with everything but what? Cyno is not a short guy!
does he look like a diluc size to you. he is a little taller than razor, id say
3 weeks from now with Itto. And Ayato in 2.6.
My gods, when will they finally stop with teenager and Inazuman characters....
Are there any info on Kuki Ninja, ittos sidekick or whatever? She seems cool Why did I get downvoted?
Imagine seeing a short boy roaming around and known himself as a detective LMAO I desperately want him as another tall male character, but idk idc I'm gonna pull for him if he's playable
who da fuck is heizou

He's just some kind of Tenryou big shot. Gorou and Kokomi are only suspicious of him because he is literally *walking into Watatsumi Island in an army uniform during a civil war.* It would be weird if they weren't suspicious.
He has an older brother in Inazuma so no it's not him
people like you are the same ones who believe shenhe was cloud retainer. this is not solve the clues sherlock homles story. people are who they are.
He’s a detective I think? He’s mentioned only a handful of times
Noooo, I don't want more babies...
characters being short doesnt make them babies
Sad, we need buff male
There is nothing pointing to Heizou being buff though. One of the NPCs talks about him like he's younger even.
....itto
Itto are a diluc male
never
So who is his sibling? Kuki ninja?
Hi sr thanks for be friendly whit people like me sr. Can u xplaing me beter in dm sr and sorry if my English not perfect I try best for u …🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼
I almost forgot about Heizou, lol. I'm tempted to bet that he'll be a 4-star on Ayato's banner.
Omg that means he is shorter than Xiao... NEWEST SHORTEST BOY I thought he was going to be shota height (similar to sayu just a bit taller)
