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. - 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.
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 growth or plant manipulation.	None.	+ Kimiko, recalls that as a child, she enjoyed the act of "ikebani", or arranging flowers, with her mother. • It's called ikebana.
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.
