"I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! Gong yi tampai!"

Another voice actress who is up there with Tara Strong when it comes to voice acting is Grey DeLisle. She also has a long list of memorable characters in Western Animation. DeLisle's roles include Yumi Yoshimura (Hi-Hi Puffy AmiYumi), Mandy (The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy), Femme Fatale (The Powerpuff Girls), Lady Redundant Woman and Ms. Question (Wordgirl), Vicky and Tootie (The Fairly OddParents), Emily Elizabeth (Clifford the Big Red Dog), Betsy (Curious George), Kimiko Tohomiko and Dyris (Xiaolin Showdown), and Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender).

Xiaolin Showdown is one of my favorite Western cartoons, with great animation, excellent music, the right mix of action and comedy, and stellar voice cast. Kimiko is the only female of the Xiaolin monks, with the element of Fire. She is a Japanese character, which is one of the things that makes her very relatable to me, and her personality is that of a fiery temper with sweetness. In combat, Kimiko is the glass cannon/fragile speedster, and her main Shen Gong Wu (the magical items that are important to the plot) is the Star Hanabi. Her Wudai Weapon is the Arrow Sparrow and elemental Wu is the Cat's Eye Draco. Seeing how XS gained so many female fans, it's always been a big question as to why there weren't more heroines other than Kimiko. Because of this, Hui is working on a girl's project called Hulala Girls.

Since both Azula and Kimiko were female martial artists with power over fire, it was perfect to blend the two together. The brief moments where Kimiko becomes evil thanks to the Yang Yo-Yo also helped.

Xiaolin Showdown belongs to Christy Hui and Warner Bros. Avatar: The Last Airbender belongs to Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, and Nickelodeon.
