One of the islands off the southern coast of the Earth Kingdom, Kyoshi Island is an island founded in the South Sea by Avatar Kyoshi to protect her people from invaders. The inhabitants of the island have no intention of inviting unwanted attention, and as a result are often hostile towards outsiders. In the nearby sea, there are Elephant Koi and a giant eel known as the Unagi. The island is known as the home of the Kyoshi Island Warriors, who fight with metal fans in the same techniques as the island's namesake Avatar.
