Expert Agility | Like many would expect of someone within the Second Division, Kyoko is faster than most, however not quite up there with the masters. When not using shunpo or running, she can be seen using a wide range of acrobatic movements. Which not only help in battle, but to travel vast distances if the use of shunpo is not needed/required/usable at the time. Unlike most, she is on the higher end of her control over Hoho and general speed, nearly matching a Captain's but not quite. Daily she works on improving this, knowing she can do far better as time goes on, and she fully plans to improve on this as her powers grow.
Expert Hakuda | Not a master, but very close to it. Kyoko has been fighting thugs off for a long as she can remember, fighting from her early days in Rukongai and through her academy days as well. Kyoko is very well versed when it comes to Hakuda. Showing skill enough to dispatch other lower ranking members of the division with ease. Her stances and forms are solid, combined with her excellent shunpo skills, it makes this Lieutenant a tough one to beat when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. Kyo tends to mostly use hakuda within her fights, only using her zanpakuto when she things the situation calls for it and thus not right away.
- Known Hakuda | Panchira Torunēdo, Tsukiyubi, Sandobaggu Bīto, Tesshō, Oni Dekopin, Kagamibiraki. As well as this Kyo is able to perform Shunkō which combines elements of both hakuda and kido together into one destructive force. Through training with Shunkō she can also perform Hanki which allows the user to cancel out an opponents kido by using the same exact speed and energy as the kido used, this also as a result allows foes to be stopped in their tracks.
Expert Zanjustu | As one would expect of a shinigami, they have a natural bond with a sword as most of the time their zanpakuto is a part of that. This is no different for Kyoko either, although not a master of such a weapon, that doesn't mean she can't be deadly with a blade. Despite preferring the use of hakuda, when needed she will use a blade. Able to perform precises and swift strikes, and with the aid of her hoho skills this is only improved. Despite this, she knows she is not the best at zanjustu. But still on par with the average Lieutenant. With regards to her strength due to main trails and harsh times as a child, despite her height and appearance. Kyoko packs a mean punch, and is by no means lacking when it comes to brute strength, and thus when needed against others she can be quite ruthless.
Expert Perception | Always having been one to be curious, it's not surprising that Kyoko is able to tell lie from truth. This perception also widely extends to the battlefield, and allows Kyo to pick up on her opponents skills and how they work very quickly. Able to work out what kind of power and spiritual power is used just after seeing the skill used around three times, Kyo is a quick thinker and always tries to think ahead for everything. Although it doesn't always work, that doesn't matter. With the help of her unique ability synesthesia, Kyo never hesitates when aiming to catch a foe off guard. And those who can get past her keen eye? Well they are beings to be highly respected.
Expert Kidou | Although not a master, Kyo is very well versed with kido. Showing the skill to be able to take on those of her own level within this branch and below, with mostly good results. The kido she does know, and uses well to full effect against foes, trapping them, and thus making them very easy prey for her zanpakuto and it's abilities. Thanks to her fine skill with kido, Kyo has been able to use and learn Eishōhaki (詠唱破棄, Incantation Abandonment), however for the time being things such as two fold incantations are beyond her ability. So far Kyoko knows the following kido: Bakudo 26, 30, 61, 81, Shibireyubi. As well as the following Hado: 4, 31 33. On top of this, thanks to her time at the forth, she also knows the healing spell of Kaidō (回道, Turn Way); allowing her to heal others to a decent level thus sometimes the need for a forth squad member to present on a mission is not needed. With Kyo able to heal her allies and herself too.
Expert Spiritual Control | Having gained quite a knack for this since her academy days, Kyo is able to easily hide her spiritual pressure to it's fullest. This also allows her very good control of her kido techniques, needing fine control of her spiritual power to do so. She has found that only spiritual beings with the highest amount of perception can find her when she is totally hidden from sense and sigh alike.
Expert Firearms/Small Weapons User | Thanks to her training over many various years with Siam as a child, Kyo has become an expert at using most kind of firearms. From rifles, snipers, pistols and various other similar weapons. Showing in previous fights/encounters that she not only has the knowledge about such weapons but knows how to fire them correctly as well. On top of this, she also used to deal with small weapons, such as daggers/knifes or a tano blade as she has recently found. This allows for surprise attacks, both powerful and swift at the same time.
