There are a lot of great characters in Genshin Impact that work well with Kazuha. Here's a look at some of the best.
Kazuha is the first character in Genshin Impact that hails from Inazuma. He was released in Genshin Impact 1.6 along with Klee's rerun. Even though he was underestimated on the first day, Kazuha is now a major part of the meta, side by side with characters like Bennett and Xingqiu.

This position is highly deserved too. Kazuha provides a lot of support to his team while dealing a lot of damage at the same time. On top of all that, Kazuha has fun gameplay and utility outside of battle.
Kazuha's damage dealing highly relies on the Anemo reaction, Swirl. This reaction occurs when Anemo meets an aura Element. Aura Elements are Hydro, Cryo, Electro, and Pyro. However, Swirl has a unique feature where it can happen if a character is affected by an aura Element.
Bennett's Elemental Burst doesn't only heal and grant damage buff, but it also infuses the active character with Pyro. This is usually used to cleanse Elemental debuff, but with Anemo characters, it can be utilized to trigger Swirl.
With Bennett, Kazuha can easily trigger Pyro Swirl, which is great for characters that react with it. Furthermore, Kazuha can also benefit from the infamous C6 Bennett. Bennett's last Constellation grants 15% Pyro damage and Pyro infusion. Kazuha will happily take the damage bonus for his Plunge attack.
Xiangling is a perfect partner for Kazuha. The Liyue Chef allows Kazuha to easily Swirl Pyro attacks. Not only that, but the two of them will also stack their buff and debuff.
If C6 Bennett is added to the team, the bonus will continuously stack. Both Kazuha and Xiangling will get an attack buff and a 15% Pyro damage bonus. Furthermore, Pyro Resonance will also increase the team's attack by 25%.
Similar to Xiangling, Xingqiu also allows Kazuha to easily Swirl. Although Xingqiu doesn't provide multiple buffs like Xiangling, he also has Hydro Resistance Reduction on his second Constellation. One downside with Xingqiu is that his Elemental Burst only triggers when the character uses Normal Attack. So this may not be optimal for Kazuha.
Mona has a great off-field Hydro application. Not only dealing damage over time, but her Elemental Skill also taunts the enemies, concentrating the enemies around the skill. This is great because Kazuha's Elemental Skill, Chihayaburu, hurts enemies in an AOE. Mona helps collect the enemies before Kazuha Crowd Controls them further.
Xiao is an excellent DPS in Genshin Impact. However, the monstrous damage comes with a price. Xiao has a high energy requirement, but a poor energy regen. Because of this, the Vigilant Yaksha needs a battery in his team. Sucrose usually fills this role, but Kazuha can also do a great job.
Childe's playstyle is dependent on his Elemental Skill, Foul Legacy: Raging Tide. When Tartaglia uses his skill and enters his Melee stance, he will continuously deal Hydro damage for a long period. Since Kazuha has amazing crowd control, he will collect enemies for Childe. The Harbinger will greatly benefit from his Riptide Splash ability and deal massive damage.
Kazuha can also play a major role in reducing enemies' Hydro Resistance. Additionally, Swirling with Hydro will also boost Tartaglia's Hydro damage.
Similar to Childe, Hu Tao is dependent on her Elemental Skill, Guide to Afterlife. When Hu Tao enters her Paramita Papilio state, she can deal great Pyro damage in exchange for her HP. Kazuha's ability to collect enemies, reduce their resistance, and increase her Pyro damage will further boost Hu Tao's damage.

Moreover, if enemies were affected by Cryo, Electro, or Hydro, Kazuha's Swirls will keep those elements rotating between enemies. This allows Hu Tao to trigger more Elemental Reactions.
Aloy's Elemental Skill infuses her attacks with Cryo when she enters the Rushing Ice state. Her problem is that she needs to wait until enemies make contact with her Chillwater Bomblets. Here's where Kazuha shines.
Kazuha's ability to collect enemies and items will force the enemies to touch her bomblets, causing Aloy to immediately enter her Rushing Ice state. With one skill, Kazuha will weaken the enemy's Cryo resistance, increase Aloy's Cryo damage, and give a Cryo damage bonus.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
