Against kohaku theres a couple approaches I use to beat her:
If shes using C-moon, and shes high above you and doing j.c, do rising j.7b to beat it.
If shes air dashing at you at a plane above your 2b range, IAD at her and do j.b first. (kind of risky since her j.b is faster)
If shes airdashing low to the ground, dash 2b works. Also sticking out 2b preemptively is great because she extends her hitbox out before her j.b comes out.
if she does dash 2c, IAD j.b/c usually wins. Sticking out random 2a's will also hit her out of 2c but won't net you a good reward unless you have gdlk confirms.
If shes doing AA 2c, oh boy. Be ready at all times to cmd air dash out of that situation or try to attack her with cmd airdash j.b/c. If she reads it though, she can just swat you with 5b. I say cmd airdash because smart kohakus wait until you've used up all of your air movement options before trying it. If they're just throwing it out there, just bait it out normally with double jumps/airdash.
Using 2c anti air also works very well since it can low profile under some of her air normals, and trade in your favor (risky, you need to be really good at this lol). Dash 2c is also useful on the ground if you got the read.
highspeed told me you could also try rising j.c if you see them air dashing at you, in an attempt to hit their j.b before it comes out.
restricting her movement with 2[c] and 214b is also a good idea, try to get into advantageous positions...its kind of difficult though because Kohaku's reward for hitting you is much higher than you hitting her. She can take more risks as long as she can get that one vital knockdown...then you die.
Don't Ever:
-be above her at any time, her j.b will always win 100% unless she puts it out too late.
-If you are under her and shes H/F moon, her j.c will rape you. Sticking out preemptive 2b's help.
i think thats it. good luck
Edit: oh yeah 5a can beat jb sometimes if you stick it out before their jb comes out
