Theory	Citations	Notes
Kimiko has powers.	Nathan and Peter are evolved siblings. Hiro is an evolved human. (Genesis)	• Micah and Claire Bennet inherited their powers, so it makes sense that all the Nakamuras also have powers. + Her mother, Ishi Nakamura, was able to heal living things - Shanti was an evolved human but her brother Mohinder is not. The siblings of evolved humans are not necessarily empowered. - Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite stated in an interview that "we've met Kimiko, Hiro's sister (and will see her again in episode 9) and it seems the only power she has is to make Ando drool". + Hiro Nakamura, Peter and Nathan Petrelli, Matt Parkman, Isaac Mendez and Elle Bishop all have abilities and are all children of the founders. - Simone Deveaux is also a child of one of the Company's founders, but she does not have any powers. + She could have an ability, but not manifested yet. Some characters manifested their abilities at an older age (like Nathan). - It's been revealed that Nathan's abilities are synthetic. + Peter was an adult when his abilities manifested and they're not synthetic. - It was stated by BTE that one of Nathan's sons has an ability, and another does not. - Nathan Petrelli's power is synthetic, meaning that Nathan wasn't born with abilities even though he was the first born to two parents with abilites. - Kimiko has never demonstrated an ability. • The rest of her family have a ability so it it highly likely that she has one. - Kaito is only implied to have an ability, deleted scenes aren't canon. • Kaito was confirmed by BTE to have powers.
Kimiko has the same ability has her father.	In a deleted scene from Four Months Later..., Kaito reveals his "special ability" to Ando. Kaito says he can "see the variables of any situation and predict the outcome". He claims he is faster than a computer and attributes his success in the stock market to this ability.	+ She displayed similar qualities when Hiro said he'd take over the company. + Matt Parkman received the exact same ability as his father. + It is possible she has her father's powers and does not show them. Perhaps its because she is stronger like Matt Parkman was. He sent his father into a nightmare even if seemingly weaker; Nathan Petrelli first flew as an adult while West flew (proficiently) as a teenager. Claire got rapid cell regeneration as a teenager while Adam much later. It's often used in comic books and other literature that newer generations are stronger than the older ones. - BTE implied Kimiko has no powers. • "For example, we've met Kimiko, Hiro's sister (and will see her again in episode 9) and it seems the only power she has is to make Ando drool." This doesn't imply anything. It reinforces that Kimiko has not manifested abilities on screen yet, nothing more.
Kimiko has an ability related to plants.	None	+ Kimiko recalls that as a child, she enjoyed making ikebanas, or arranging flowers, with her mother. - BTE implied Kimiko has no powers. • "For example, we've met Kimiko, Hiro's sister (and will see her again in episode 9) and it seems the only power she has is to make Ando drool." This doesn't imply anything. It reinforces that Kimiko has not manifested abilities on screen yet, nothing more.
Kimiko has the ability of persuasion.	None	+ It could be how she convinced her stubborn father to give her Hiro's job. - Hiro is the one who convinced Kaito to give her the job. + It would be good to see another character with this ability after the first user died. - BTE implied Kimiko has no powers. • "For example, we've met Kimiko, Hiro's sister (and will see her again in episode 9) and it seems the only power she has is to make Ando drool." This doesn't imply anything. It reinforces that Kimiko has not manifested abilities on screen yet, nothing more.
Kimiko has the ability to control gravity.	Some scientists believe that gravity is related to time and space.	+ Kimiko having the power of gravity control could be a nod to it by having a sibling who can bend time and space. - Stephen Canfield had an ability related to gravity, and he certainly wasn't related to Hiro. - An ability related to gravity has already been introduced, the writers won't introduce a character with a similar ability so soon. - Related character's don't need to have similar powers, James Walker could freeze things and his mother could see the dead. His daughter is the world's best GPS. - BTE implied Kimiko has no powers. • "For example, we've met Kimiko, Hiro's sister (and will see her again in episode 9) and it seems the only power she has is to make Ando drool." This doesn't imply anything. It reinforces that Kimiko has not manifested abilities on screen yet, nothing more.
Kimiko has the same ability as her mother.	None	• It is possible that her power has simply not manifested yet, or she is hiding it. + Matt Parkman developed the exact same ability as his father. - This is very rare. - BTE implied Kimiko has no powers. • "For example, we've met Kimiko, Hiro's sister (and will see her again in episode 9) and it seems the only power she has is to make Ando drool." This doesn't imply anything. It reinforces that Kimiko has not manifested abilities on screen yet, nothing more.
Kimiko and Ando will have kids.	In Jump, Push, Fall, Hiro changed past events for Ando and Kimiko.	+ Now that Hiro changed history, Ando and Kimiko are engaged.
Kimiko and Ando's relationship will go back to the way it was.	Hiro may be forced to reset the timeline back to the way it was to keep the bad things that happened in this season from happening.	+ Hiro has been shown to be able to change the past, and he can interact with his past self. So he can stop himself from changing the past. + It's possible the only way to stop Samuel is to keep him from killing Joseph. If Hiro keeps Joseph from dying, then Samuel will never persuade Hiro to change the past. - This won't happen because Hiro will not prevent Sally's birth.
