Kei Nijimura/ru

"Семья Хигашиката определённо что-то знает."

- Кей Ниджимура

Кей Ниджимура (虹村 京) - персонаж восьмой части манги JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion. Она дебютирует в качестве антагониста в арке "Paisley Park and Born This Way", но впоследствии становится нейтральным персонажем.

Кей - горничная семьи Хигашиката. По ходу повествования выясняется, что она является дочерью Холи Джостар-Киры и младшей сестрой Йошикаге Киры. Кей владеет стэндом, автономным Born This Way, создающим потоки ледяного ветра.

Внешность
Кей - красивая девшка с чёрными волосами, которые она обычно заплетает в пучок. Лишь однажды, при встрече с Джоске, она распустила волосы.

Она одета в униформу горничной, состоящую из чёрной блузы и белого фартука с двумя заколками в форме букв G и U на фоне молнии. На голове у неё шапка с козырьком и кокардой, на которой опять же выгравированы буквы G и U.

Кей носит чулки с узором в виде звёзд, ботинки её украшены бантиками.

После столкновения с Джоске выясняется, что около левого плеча у неё есть родинка в форме звезды.

"Ниджимура" является псевдонимом, её настоящая фамилия либо "Джостар", либо "Кира".

Личность
Обычно Кей просто занимается обязанностами по дому и не демонстрирует никаких эмоций. Однако подобное поведение для неё является лишь прикрытием. После вопроса Джоске о том, атаковала ли она его по приказу Хигашиката, Кей реагирует с яростью и заявляет, что ненавидит "этих чёртовых Хигашиката". Она угрожает убить Джоске, если тот подойдёт близко к Холи, и, когда раскрывается информация о её биографии, становится эмоциональной и даже плачет.

После того, как недопонимание между ней и Джоске улажено, Кей в слезах рассказывает, что в прошлом они знали друг друга и удивляется тому, что все воспоминания Джоске исчезли. Именно Кей впервые подмечает сдвоенные глазные яблоки и язык Джоске.

Кей очень сильно любит свою мать, заботится о ней, пока та находится в госпитале и обращается к ней "мама".

Стэнд
Кей владеет стэндом Born This Way, действующим автономно, когда человек, выбранный его целью, открывает что-либо. Внешне стэнд представляет собой гуманоида верхом на мотоцикле. Его главная способность - создание холодного потока воздуха, способного заморозить практически кого и что угодно.

Background
Kei is born from the union between Holy Joestar-Kira and Yoshiteru Kira, and she is Yoshikage Kira's little sister.

Although aware of her mother's illness, Kei took no part in helping Yoshikage steal and keep the Locacaca from the Locacaca Smuggling Organization. Instead, wary of the Higashikatas, she infiltrated the Higashikata Family, posing as an unrelated maid and taking the name "Nijimura" to investigate their secret.

After the earthquake of March 11, Kei discovers the supernatural properties of the soil near the Wall Eyes, which can exchange parts between two buried objects.

Meeting Josuke
Upon entering the Higashikata household, Josuke Higashikata is coerced into taking a family photo. Kei appears and attempts to remove his hat, causing Josuke to feel threatened, and ask who she is. Norisuke Higashikata IV answers for her and introduces her as the Higashikata family's housekeeper. When Norisuke shows Josuke around the house, he tells him to ask Nijimura for anything he needs. Later, as she helps Yasuho Hirose exit the premises, she relays a message from Norisuke, stating that Yasuho is not allowed near the Higashikatas' house again.

Seeing that Josuke has investigated her family tree and taking him for an enemy, Kei unleashes her Stand, Born This Way, on Josuke just as he decides to go see Holy. Nonetheless, Josuke escapes Born This Way and surprises Kei standing near the hospital. Kei tries to summon Born This Way one last time by tossing an opened pen to Josuke but Soft & Wet knocks her out before it can attack. Josuke manages to defeat her, but Kei stays aggressive and warns Josuke not to approach her mother. Josuke decides to be diplomatic and concedes, leading Kei to trust him. Examining his face, Kei notices that Josuke's eyes and tongue are in fact a blend of two organs.

Kei subsequently leads Josuke to the Wall Eyes and shows him that he is a fusion of her brother Yoshikage Kira and another person. She demonstrates using a lemon and a tangerine, burying them underneath the soil. She then unearths the fruits and then slices each of them in half, showing some of their sections swapped.

Every Day Is a Summer Vacation
After Jobin returns from his trip, he gives souvenirs he's bought from the trip to his family, including Kei and Josuke. He gives Kei an Oscar statue from a trip to Southeast Asia, which Hato grows jealous of.

Hato's Boyfriend
When Hato brings her boyfriend Tamaki Damo home, Kei is the first to be liquefied by Damo's Vitamin C as she tries to wipe off strange hand prints on the windows and furniture of the house. She spends the rest of the fight in a liquefied state.

Endless Calamity
During Tooru's pursuit in the Higashikata household, Yasuho immediately eats a Locacaca fruit after realizing that Tooru himself is the user of Wonder of U, who is then causing the calamity. She proceeds to use Joshu's phone to contact Kei Nijimura. At the TG University Hospital, Kei takes care of her mother in bed until she receives Yasuho's call. Yasuho tells her to hand the phone to Josuke as soon as possible. Kei notices that Holy has written notes about Josuke and his whereabouts and thus Kei is now able to go find Josuke in the secret Locacaca lab.

In the Locacaca laboratory, the Stand Wonder of U manages to take down Josuke and nearly incapacitates him. As it approaches Josuke, Born This Way breaks into the room and freezes Soft and Wet's bubbles, which then strikes Wonder of U multiple times. Kei then enters the laboratory. At the Higashikata household, Tooru realizes that there is something in Soft and Wet's bubbles that Josuke himself does not know.
