Kanya is a female Rabbid character set to appear in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, specifically in The Last Spark Hunter DLC. She is a fourth Spark Hunter that will be the villain on the planet Melodic Gardens. Kanya's appearance was foreshadowed in the main game where in the battlefield for the battle Deep, Dark Secret, there are statues for each of the other three Spark Hunters and there is a fourth depicting Kanya's body, although the statue's head is missing. This is alluded to in the Memory entry "The Broken Statue".

Kanya was first shown off in artwork for the Season Pass, but she was seen in a teaser trailer for The Last Spark Hunter teaser on May 23, 2023. She tells Mario that he was "right on time" for something. During Ubisoft Forward 2023, Kanya's full appearance was seen, and she gave a big, wide Chain Chomp-like grin at the heroes.

On June 19, on the Nintendo Switch news application in Europe, promotional artwork of The Last Spark Hunter was shown, alongside the Mecha King Bob-omb. According to the post, Kanya is "dangerous and techy", indicating that she is skilled with robotics and machines.

Appearance
Kanya is a female Rabbid who has black hair with spikes on the sides, along with red "eyebrows", and has yellow ribbons wrapped around her ears. Kanya's eyes have a single eyelash each, have black eyeshadow, and her eyes themselves are a bright yellow/orange color. Kanya has lots of spiky teeth comparable to that of a Chain Chomp when she smiles. She wears a black dress with red shorts underneath, and she has red armbands on her arms and wears white and black boots.

Trivia

 * Kanya's broken statue depicts her with a spiky chain-like weapon, but she is not seen using it herself.
