  We study a single-channel Kondo effect using a recently developed holographic
large-$N$ technique. In order to obtain resistivity of this model, we introduce
a probe field. The gravity dual of a localized fermionic impurity in
1+1-dimensional host matter is constructed by embedding a localized
2-dimensional Anti-de Sitter (\ads{2})-brane in the bulk of \ads{3}. This helps
us construct an impurity charge density which acts as a source to the bulk
equation of motion of the probe gauge field. The functional form of the charge
density is obtained independently by solving the equations of motion for the
fields confined to the \ads{2}-brane. The asymptotic solution of the probe
field is dictated by the impurity charge density, which in turn, affects the
current-current correlation functions, and hence the resistivity. Our choice of
parameters tunes the near-boundary impurity current to be marginal, resulting
in a $\log T$ behavior in the UV resistivity, as is expected for the Kondo
problem. The resistivity at the IR fixed point turns out to be zero, signaling
a complete screening of the impurity.
