Kimi Finster is a fictional character in the animated television series Rugrats and its spin-off All Grown Up!. She first appeared in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie in 2000. She is the sister of Chuckie Finster; born in a Japanese family, she was the last character to be introduced to the Rugrats character list. Her mother, Kira, married Chas Finster (the father of Chuckie). Kimi became a regular character on the show after Rugrats in Paris: The Movie. She later appeared in the spin-off series All Grown Up!, and in the last two Rugrats films. She was voiced by Dionne Quan.

Description

Kimi was the last addition to the cast of Rugrats, making her first appearance in the second Rugrats movie, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie. She is depicted as being joyful and tomboyish. She has black hair, tied up in three pigtails on top of her head, wears a pink shirt, yellow dress with a purple cat on it, a diaper underneath (like Lil), and purple boots.

She was introduced as Chuckie's adorable and tomboyishly beautiful new sister, after her mother, Kira Finster, married Chuckie's father, Chas. This marriage and the changes it brought to the Finster family were used in the series to teach the young viewers, by demonstration, about adapting to such drastic changes caused by remarriage.

In Rugrats, the one-and-a-half year old Kimi was portrayed as very brave and often stumbled into dangerous situations she was too naïve to recognize, often bringing her new brother, Chuckie Finster, along, much to his dismay. He described her as "another Tommy" not too long upon meeting her. Despite her cuteness and beauty, she is just as adventurous as Tommy and cares for her friends. On the other hand, unlike Tommy, she often takes action first and thinks later. She laughs in the eye of danger and is always looking for an adventure. In All Grown Up!, it is revealed that she has a crush on Tommy.

Looks

Kimi has half purple/half black hair tied into 3 pigtails, which in the episode Starstruck is seen as cute, as said by a movie star. She wears a yellow dress with a blue cat on it in the movie, although throughout the series she has a pink shirt inside. She has purple cowgirl boots, and wears a diaper underneath just like Lil.

Appearances

Kimi has appeared in many episodes of Rugrats and its spin-off series, All Grown Up!. Her first appearance was in the second Rugrats film, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie. Her last appearance was in Brothers Grimm, an episode of All Grown Up!.

Trivia

• Kimi is the only rugrat to never have the camera viewed from inside her mouth, not even in All Grown Up!. Though she is seen looking at the camera in someone's mouth, such as Fluffy in Cat Got Your Tongue?, Harold in Angelica's Assistant, and an imaginary snow leopard in The Bravliest Baby.
• Chas legally adopts Kimi as his daughter in Finsterella. Legally, that makes him Kimi's father and not just her stepfather.
• Kimi only cries in three episodes: Cuddle Bunny, The Big Sneeze, and Cynthia Comes Alive.
• Kimi has only gotten her diaper changed in two episodes, Finsterella and Daddy's Little Helpers.
• Although there is no episode for it, Kimi has been seen as a 3-year-old in the All Grown Up! episode Truth or Consequences.
