Dr. Kimiyo Hoshi, also known as Dr. Light, is a member of Eva McCulloch's team and a former member of Black Hole.

Biography

Early life

At some point, Kimiyo Hoshi joined Black Hole as an assassin;[1] Joseph Carver kept files on her in one of his warehouses.[2]

Hunting Iris West-Allen

After murdering an unnamed man, Black Hole sent her a photo of her next target: Iris West-Allen. Whilst Iris was at Central City Citizen Media, Kimiyo failed to assassinate her, albeit leaving a severe injury on her whilst she was escaping. She then attempted to once again attack Iris whilst she was meeting her informant, leading to his death.[1]

Kimiyo was impressed with the resilience of Frost and discussed it with other assassins like Millie Rawlins.[3]

Switching teams

Black Hole

Preparing for Carver's arrival

Kimiyo told Ultraviolet and Sunshine that Joseph Carver would be arriving at their safe house in fifteen minutes; though she said it in Japanese, Millie understood her. Suddenly, Millie was gone. Kimiyo asked Ultraviolet what happened to her; she did not know nor did she really care. Suddenly, Ultraviolet was gone. Kimiyo quickly grabbed her light gun and searched for the intruder. When she saw a face in the mirror, Kimiyo fired but nothing truly happened, as if the bullet disappeared. As she walked by the glass doors, Kimiyo was pulled into the Mirrorverse.

New allegiance

While there, Kimiyo decided to align herself with Eva McCulloch; when she and her other former Black Hole assassins emerged from the Mirrorverse, they had an order to kill Carver, but they found members of Team Flash in the McCulloch Technologies building, wiling to protect him. A fight ensued when Carver called upon his security guards to assault the women. Eventually, the members of Team Flash got involved.

During the battle, Dr. Light used her gun against anybody who attacked her. When she and the others had Team Flash surrounded, Eva declared the battle over; Carver was dead. Eva McCulloch's team left without further incident.

Later, Kimiyo stood beside Eva as Eva had a press conference announcing her return to the world.[2]

Personality

"I follow orders."
—Kimiyo Hoshi[src]

Kimiyo is a professional and does not allow emotion to interfere with her assignment. She had an easy kill shot on Frost to her head, but, because her employer, Joseph Carver told her not to take it, she walked away without a second thought, even complimenting Frost to other assassins later. Kimiyo told Carver that she does not miss twice; upon her second encounter with Iris, Kimiyo would have shot her through the heart, if it had not been a hologram.[1]
