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. - Both Micah and Claire have two powered parents. It is also heavily implied that Angela and Mr. Petrelli have powers, which explains why Nathan and Peter have powers. We do not know anything about Hiros mother. - Shanti was an evolved human but her brother Mohinder is not. The siblings of evolved humans are not necessarily empowered. • Mohinder has never confirmed or denied having a power. - The Company's protocol is to put an evolved human with a regular human for field duty, and Mohinder was paired with Niki, an evolved human. - There is no reason to believe that powers can only arise if inherited, as that would raise the question of why powered individuals have only appeared recently (relative to all of human history, that is). This theory will bear more weight if and when Kaito Nakamura is shown to have an ability. - The genetically inherited powers can also skip a generation or miss completely. That's what happens with genetic code. It's unpredictable. - 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). - Kimiko has never demonstrated an ability.
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 he 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.
Kimiko has an ability related to plants. Either Plant manipulation or Plant growth.	None	+ Kimiko, recalls that as a child, she enjoyed the act of "ikebani", or arranging flowers, with her mother.
