Keiko O'Brien, née Keiko Ishikawa, is a character in the fictional Star Trek universe, played by Rosalind Chao. She is the wife of Miles O'Brien in the series Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Keiko married Miles O'Brien aboard the USS Enterprise in the TNG episode "Data's Day". A year later, on Ten-Forward, she gave birth to a daughter, Molly, with Worf as midwife (TNG episode "Disaster"). When Miles was reassigned to Deep Space Nine, Keiko decided to start a school, and Jake Sisko and Nog were the first students to enroll. Later on Keiko went on an archeobotanical expedition to Bajor. After becoming pregnant with her second child, Keiko returned to Deep Space Nine. An accident endangered mother and child. Doctor Julian Bashir saved both by removing the fetus and implanting said fetus into Kira Nerys's womb. In her honor, the child was named Kirayoshi O'Brien.
When the Dominion War began, Keiko and the children were evacuated away from the war zones. They remained away for a time until the fields of battle had shifted far enough away to make Deep Space Nine safe again. After the war, the O'Brien family relocated to Earth, but it's not known whether they continued to reside on Earth.
