Kazuha Kaedehara is one of the most popular and best characters from Genshin Impact making a return. The developers are pleased, as they are earning millions of euros in two days.
What is happening right now? A week ago, update 2.8 was released in Genshin Impact. Along with new events, there are also new banners featuring both old and new characters.

Where do the numbers come from? The site GenshinLab collects and evaluates data regarding the action RPG Genshin Impact. This includes the revenues from banners where you can pull characters.
In China, certain figures and in-game purchases must be disclosed, which is intended to ensure transparency. For example, in China, the odds of winning from loot boxes must also be clearly disclosed (via GameStar.de).
The revenues in the tables come solely from China and iOS. This means that the revenues are likely to be much higher when other countries and operating systems like Android are included.
How much money are we talking about? At Genshinlab.com, you can view the revenues broken down by characters and also by days. The current banner featuring Kazuha Kaedehara has already earned more than 10 million US dollars in China after just 2 days. Thus, the banner surrounding Kazuha is among the most successful banners in the history of the action RPG:

If you want a specific character in Genshin Impact, you have to pull him from the banners. These banners work like loot boxes: You can pull up to 10 times at once, and in those, there are then 10 items, ideally including a character. In the worst case, the costs for a specific 5-star character are 440 euros.
