A Kimono Girl (Japanese: まいこはん Dancing Girl) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation II games. They appear as young women dressed in kimonos.

Kimono Girls usually appear as a quintet of Trainers who each own one of Eevee's evolutions.

In the games

Atop the Bell Tower in Pokémon HeartGold
Inside the Whirl Islands in Pokémon SoulSilver

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, five Kimono Girls live in Ecruteak City, and can be battled at the Ecruteak Dance Theater. Each owns one of the five Eeveelutions available in Generation II.

Kimono Girls are also seen in the Battle Tower as random opponents, and some appear in Pokémon Stadium 2.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Kimono Girls' roles are expanded, and they are met outside the dance theater: Zuki is met in Violet City after the player has retrieved the Pokémon Egg from one of Professor Elm's aides; Naoko is found being lost in Ilex Forest; Miki is being harassed by a Team Rocket Grunt in the dance theater in Ecruteak; Kuni is met in the Goldenrod Tunnel during the Goldenrod Radio Tower incident; and Sayo needs to be freed from being stuck on ice in the Ice Path.

After the played has earned all eight Johto Badges and obtained the Master Ball from Professor Elm, the player travels to Ecruteak City and battles the five Kimono Girl consecutively in order to obtain the Clear BellHG/Tidal BellSS. The Kimono girls then travel to the Bell TowerHG/Whirl IslandsSS, where they will perform a dance that summons Ho-OhHG/LugiaSS there.

While being faced at the Dance Theater, the Kimono Girls also reveal several things that they did behind the scenes: Zuki handed the Mystery Egg to Mr. Pokémon; Naoko witnessed the player defeating Team Rocket at the Slowpoke Well; Sayo watched as the player passed the Elder's test at the Dragon's Den; and Kuni saw the player taking down Team Rocket once and for all at the Radio Tower.

Kuni can later be encountered as a Pokéathlon participant at the Pokéathlon Dome.

In Generation IV, the girls' respective Eeveelutions are swapped; only Zuki and Kuni's partners remained the same from Generation II. Additionally, Kuni's Japanese name, Sumomo, was altered to Komomo, probably to avoid confusion with Maylene, whose Japanese name is also Sumomo.

Zuki

Violet City
"Me oh my... That Egg must be..."
"I see... So it was handed from Mr. Pokémon to Professor Elm, then from Professor Elm to you. Now I get it..."
"That Egg truly is an important Egg. Please do take good care of it for me. Is that understood?"
"I am counting on you."
Kimono Dance Theater
  • Before battle
"Welcome. My name is Zuki. I met you previously in Violet City. In order to bring back Ho-OhHG/LugiaSS, we needed someone with the right bond with Pokémon. We asked Mr. Pokémon to give this Mystery Egg to whoever showed true potential. The Egg was eventually handed from Mr Pokémon to Professor Elm, and then to you. However, being pure alone will not be sufficient to face the power of this Pokémon. I must test you. Are you ready?"
No: "That is fine... I will wait for you to get ready."
Yes: "I will test how closely you've bonded with your Pokémon!"
  • Being defeated
"I don't have any Pokémon left."

"Thank you for your help the other day. You have beautifully proven that the bond between people can be extended to the bond between people and Pokémon... We all appreciate that you have lived up to our expectations, Name! If you feel that this experience has taught you anything, the people you should thank are not us, but Mr. Pokémon and Professor Elm..."

"Yes, this is where we welcome Ho-Oh. When the dance we practiced for many days becomes one with the sound of the Clear Bell we entrusted to you, then Ho-Oh shall come down from the great arch of the sky once again!"
  • After summoning Ho-Oh
"That IS indeed Ho-Oh... The guardian of the sky around here from ancient times... So many have tried and tried, only to fail... <player>, your heart and the Clear Bell in harmony have finally made it appear..."
"<player>, don't you see? Ho-Oh must have been waiting for someone like you all this time. Wouldn't you agree...?"
  • If the player has not battled Ho-Oh
"This is all we can do for you... What you do now is entirely up to you..."
  • If the player catches Ho-Oh
"You have not only made Ho-Oh appear, but you have also caught it... You are so wonderful. There is nothing more for us to say. Take good care of yourself in your journey..."

"If that is what you believe, we will not try to convince you otherwise. Still, if you want to see Ho-Oh once more, perhaps you can come back here after everything has been settled..."
  • If the player flees from Ho-Oh
"I think when you turn your back to it, Ho-Oh will not come back for some time... If you want to see Ho-Oh, perhaps you can come back here after everything has been settled...

  • After summoning Lugia
"That is indeed Lugia... The guardian of these islands from ancient times... So many have tried again and again, only to fail... <player>, your heart in complete harmony with the Tidal Bell has finally allowed it to appear..."
"<player>, don't you see? Lugia... It must have been waiting for someone like you all this time. Wouldn't you agree...?"
  • If the player has not battled Lugia
"This is all we can do for you... What you do now is entirely up to you..."

  • If the player flees from Lugia

Ilex Forest
"Kimono Girl, Kimono Girl, lost and all alone. Poor girl lost in the dark Ilex Forest."
"What? You remember me from Violet City? You must be imagining. Anyway, will you show me how to get out of this forest?"
No: "Me oh my... You are lost yourself, aren't you?"
Yes: "You will...? Aren't you lost in the forest as well? How do you know how to get out of here?"
"Wow! Are you going to show me how to get out? You are such a smart Pokémon!"
"See you."
Kimono Dance Theater
  • Before battle

"For Kimono Girls like me, dancing is everything. I have never gone a day without a dance practice. Pokémon are the same. They grow with you little by little each day."
Kimono Dance Theater (after earning the Rising Badge)
  • Before battle
"You are quite the Trainer. I remember you chasing off that Team Rocket Grunt from right here. I must thank you for that. Although, I am actually a Trainer myself. She who knows the most speaks the least! I am Miki--the Kimono Girl! Allow me to challenge you and your Pokémon!"

Tee hee. Well, it's no laughing matter. Would you push my back?/Would you come around and push my back?"
No: "Don't be so cruel. You will push my back, won't you?"
Yes: (after shoving her free) "You really are kind. Thank you so much!"
Kimono Dance Theater
  • Before battle
"Excellent fighting spirit! You got me off the ice by pushing me from the back. I am the one who skates in sandals. I am Sayo--the Kimono Girl! I was listening in the Dragon's Den when you passed the test of the Elder. Allow me to challenge you and your Pokémon!"

Kimono Dance Theater
  • Before battle
"I am the last one. You were so dependable at the Goldenrod Tunnel. I am the one who twirls even underground. I am Kuni--the Kimono Girl!

History

Original series

The Kimono Girls were called the Kimono Sisters in the original series. The dub retained their original Japanese names instead of using their localized English names.

In Trouble's Brewing, after Ash Ecruteak Gym victory, the gang bumped into Sakura, who took them to the tea ceremony her sisters were running after Misty inquired about a nearby advertising poster. Sumomo was the first sister the group met, greeting them formally. Tamao was seen next, demonstrating ikebana to a small audience. Later, they passed by the lone Koume playing her shamisen. Finally, they were treated to a quiet display of the art of tea making and drinking by Satsuki. Needless to say, Brock was entranced by them all and grew frightened when they were all together and called him out on his praise.

The sisters are skilled Trainers as well as tradition keepers. Upon proposing a challenge to the trio to battle for Sakura to join them, Sumomo and Satsuki both displayed their Vaporeon's and Jolteon's abilities against Misty's Poliwhirl and Ash's Pikachu respectively. Vaporeon defeated Poliwhirl and Pikachu won against Jolteon, but the latter only after Team Rocket's interruption.

When Sakura changed her mind about leaving at that time, Satsuki admitted that she and the other three weren't against Sakura leaving to begin her journey, only that they wanted her to not be dependent on others if she finally did.

In Espeon, Not Included, the four elder sisters attended a lucrative Pokémon Dance Academy class. However, the academy was another one of Team Rocket's schemes, and the Kimono sisters ended up handing over their Pokémon in exchange for private dancing lessons when they were actually stolen. With the help of Sakura's Eevee, now an Espeon, the other four Eeveelutions were rescued, and the episode ended with the sisters wishing Sakura well on her own journey.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

In An Egg Scramble!, the Kimono Girls made a cameo in Lyra's video about Johto during the Johto Festival.

Character

All of the sisters are sincere and polite. Satsuki is the oldest among the sisters and appears to do most of the talking, while Koume appears to be the most withdrawn and shy. The sisters are well-versed in many of the ancient arts like the tea ceremony and ikebana flower arrangements, and they continue to train themselves in these traditions.

They unintentionally excluded the youngest sister Sakura from many of their activities, namely because they deemed her to be immature and poorly trained. When Sakura revealed she wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer in Trouble's Brewing, they were initially doubtful of Sakura's commitments to her goal, but she gained their respect by the end of Espeon, Not Included.

In the manga

Kimono Girls in Pokémon Adventures

Pokémon Adventures

Red, Green & Blue arc

A Kimono Girl was first seen in Just a Spearow Carrier as one of the Trainers waiting in line for the Indigo League.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

All five Kimono Girls made an appearance in Pleased as Punch With Parasect, when Gold decided to visit them in Ecruteak after finishing up at the Pokéathlon. Gold spent his time watching them perform, which annoyed the Radio Director of Goldenrod. However, Gold revealed that he was actually allowing time for Aibo to train, who was trying to learn Double Hit. When he finally did, Aibo evolved into Ambipom, winning the praise of the Kimono Girls. By the end of the arc, they had added a Leafeon and a Glaceon to their team.

Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

The Kimono Girls made a small cameo in Gold and Black VS Team Rocket. Gold and Whitney were greeted by the Kimono Girls when they arrived in Ecruteak City for the Pokémon Summit.

Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure

A Kimono Girl appeared in JBA3.

Trivia

  • In the English versions, the Kimono Girls were given different but still Japanese names; this is possibly due to the 17 character limit per line of the text boxes of the localized versions, which would make it impossible to fit many of the original names in a single line. The French localization also followed suit, but were renamed to their original Japanese names in Generation IV with the exception of Koume, who was referred to as Umeko instead.
  • In the French and German localizations of Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the name Keiko was used for different Kimono Girls.
  • In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when the Kimono Girls are summoning the Legendary Pokémon, they dance clockwise for Ho-Oh and counter-clockwise for Lugia.
  • Bill's mother was once a Kimono Girl, according to Poké Maniac Brent, who reveals trivia about Bill via Pokégear.
  • Both of the anime episodes which featured all of the Kimono Sisters had Masaaki Iwane as animation director.
  • In the anime episode Espeon, Not Included, the four elder sisters' fans match the elemental themes of their Pokémon.
  • The はん han in the Japanese name of the Trainer class is an equivalent of the honorific さん san in the Kansai dialect.
  • The Kimono Girls dress in traditional Maiko attire.
  • In Pokémon GO, since the Generation II update, if an Eevee is nicknamed after Tamao or Sakura, it is guaranteed to evolve into that Kimono Sister's respective Eeveelution, while usually the form Eevee evolves into is random outside of select conditions.
