Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu and Yelan confirmed

pcgamesn.com:

Mihoyo has revealed that Genshin Impact’s Kuki Shinobu and Yelan are coming to the anime game. The developer hasn’t revealed when you’ll get to wish on their banners, though recent history points to Genshin Impact’s 2.7 update. Thankfully, there are some new titbits of character information to tide you over until then.

Kuki Shinobu is the deputy leader of the Arataki Gang, which may sound familiar if you remember leader Itto, who joined the free game last year. Mihoyo confirms that she’s an electro character, though we can’t distinguish what weapon she uses. Mihoyo also refers to Shinobu as the ‘mender of tribulations’, an amusing nod to some in-game messages that reveal how much time she spends running around after Itto. Spoiler: it’s a lot.

Yelan, however, is more mysterious. While several teases point to Shinobu’s existence, we’ve seen far fewer for Yelan. Mihoyo confirms that she works for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, though we know little else. “Yelan’s identity has always been a mystery,” Mihoyo says. “Like a phantom, she often appears in various guises at the centre of events and disappears before the storm stops.” So, as we say, mysterious.

Yelan is a hydro character, which could confirm an earlier Genshin Impact datamine that says she uses a bow.
