Genshin Impact Ayato
Genshin Impact Ayato is the head of the Kamisato Clan and as the head of the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayato is committed to maintaining the prosperity and stability of the region
It was claimed by the leaker that players will get to see Ayato in the future 2.6 update, and it seems like they were on point.
Genshin Impact Ayato official release
Recently Ubatcha shared a drip marketing artwork for Ayato and soon after the leak, Ayato was officially revealed by the devs. The Kamisato Ayato artwork shows katana coated in or made of Hydro energy in his hand.
The official Ayato artwork of him wielding a Hydro Vision confirms a lot of details regarding Ayato's kit and likewise shows his resemblance with Ayaka.

As per the given description, Ayato is "Head of the Kamisato Clan. As the head of the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayato is committed to maintaining the prosperity and stability of the region"
At a glance, he is low-profile and graceful. He is not a fan of public appearances and does not seek to show his skills overtly.
But those who do know him understand that he is not to be underestimated. Long ago, when the Yashiro Commission fell on hard times, and when the Kamisato Clan was on the verge of crumbling, it was this young man who rose to the occasion and stabilized the situation.
He could not have achieved his position without extraordinary resourcefulness and cunning. But perhaps, that impenetrable smile belies darker waves.
However, the most intriguing thing is that in most of these negotiations in which he participates, he is not ruthless nor competitive, and is even willing to share the benefits so that everyone can get a relatively satisfactory piece of the pie.
"What exactly is he up to?" is usually what people are thinking after all is said and done.
However, now that everyone has a piece of that pie, perhaps what is on Kamisato Ayato's mind isn't so important.

Previously we got a character teaser for the Atataki Itto that was released by miHoYo, and towards the end of the trailer, fans can hear Thoma referring to someone as "My Lord" and then a new voice is heard saying, "Yes, most entertaining. Pity that the Tenryou commission has arrived."
Fans were quick enough to spot the voice is of the much-awaited character Kamisato Ayato, and the voice actor of Kamisato Ayato is Akira Ishida as per the description of the Japanese Otto character trailer.
The English voice actor of Ayato is rumored to be Chris Hackney whereas Zhao lu will probably be the Chinese voice actor of Ayato.

Genshin Impact Ayato Release Date
Since the Ayato character has been revealed officially and miHoYo has already announced who all are going to appear in the 2.5 update, it is safe to say that either March 30, 2022, or three weeks later April 20 will be the official Ayato release date.
There are both possibilities that Ayato will be released with the 2.6 launch or will probably come with the second Genshin 2.6 banner. However, leakers claim the first case.
Genshin Impact Ayato abilities
Recently, on January 26 an NGA user shared info for Ayato's appearance and skills which can be right or wrong.
As per the leaked info, Ayato is a fantastic DPS but has a higher skill cap, moreover, he is the character who Vapes (2.0x Multiplier Vapes) unlike Childe who enables vapes for Pyro characters. It has been claimed that Thoma and Xiangling are going to be the best Ayato supports, but you can judge his best support on your own when he gets released officially.

The reason we are mentioning these past datamined leaks is that this somehow aligns with this new leak.
These were the complete details about Genshin Impact Ayato, including its release date, lore, abilities, and more that have been revealed so far. However, some of the data has come from the leaks that are subjected to change, so, players should think about it with a grain of salt as miHoYo can at any time decide to make changes in the main game.
