Une biographie détaillée de.

Passé
Yoshikage Kira est né le 30 janvier 1966 au Japon, dans la petite ville côtière de dans la ville S de la préfecture M. Le petit Kira vécut une enfance calme et quelconque, du moins publiquement. Kira faisait en sorte de ne jamais se faire remarquer, ayant des notes moyennes, n'ayant aucun ami proche, et faisant en sorte de ne jamais accomplir d'exploit. Par exemple, Yoshikage Kira a accumulé de nombreuses troisième place dans plusieurs types de compétitions. Selon les voisins des Kira, il était proche de ses parents. Selon l'auteur, il imaginait que Kira était dans une relation abusive avec sa mère car elle était surprotectrice envers lui. Pour sa part, son père ignora cet abus.

Kira se découvra un fétichisme sexuel pour les mains durant son enfance lorsqu'il vit pour la première fois une photo de dans un livre d'art. Il eut une érection en regardant les mains de La Joconde, découpant même l'image pour admirer en privé ces mains.

Kira commit son premier meurtre à l'âge de 18 ans le 13 août 1983. Ses premières victimes furent et sa famille, dont leur chien de compagnie. Il l'a fait sur une impulsion en ayant aperçu les mains de Reimi et se faufila dans sa maison pour la tuer. Il infligea à Reimi d'horribles blessures à son dos en la poignardant, une chose que Kira reprit dans des meutres ultérieurs.

Yoshikage Kira acquit son Stand du fait de l'obtention d'un Stand par son père. De plus, la famille Kira reçut une Flèche de la part d' et de. A un moment, Kira nomma son Stand "Killer Queen". Cependant, il ne rencontra pas d'autres manieurs de Stand et ne chercha pas à vraiment en savoir plus sur son pouvoir Stand, n'étant pas curieux à ce sujet. Les parents de Yoshikage étaient déjà vieux lorsqu'il est né. Il perdit alors son père d'un cancer alors qu'il avait 21 ans. Sa mère décéda aussi quelques temps plus tard. Cependant, Yoshihiro demeura dans le monde des vivants en tant que fantôme, se manifestant dans des photographies grâce à son Stand.

Après avoir éveillé son Stand Killer Queen, Kira devint capable de complètement effacer toute trace de ses meurtres en atomisant les corps de ses victimes. Par conséquence, les meurtres de Kira furent presque tous classifiés en tant que disparitions. En plus, Kira fit de nombreux efforts pour apparaitre comme une personne quelconque et donc il n'éveilla jamais aucun soupçon dans son entourage.

Kira fut diplômé de l'université D en 1988 avec un diplôme en littérature et pris un poste banal d'employé de bureau pour la corporation Kameyu, d'abord dans la ville de S. Il fut ensuite transféré plus près de sa maison, à Morioh, sans jamais être promu. Au fil des années, jusqu'à l'an 1999, Kira tua 46 femmes "aux belles mains".

L'aventure de Rohan
Yoshikage Kira apparait pour la première fois dans l'histoire alors qu'il revient chez lui en voiture. En chemin, il percute presque, qui trainait sur la route sans regarder. Koichi est sauvé par et les deux lycéens présentent leurs excuses. Ironiquement, les héros viennent d'apprendre sur la série de meurtres qu'a commit Kira mais n'ont pas encore identifié le coupable et se demandent quoi faire. Kira les regarde en silence un moment mais préfère partir sans parler. Il revient chez lui en parlant avec la main coupée de sa dernière victime, faisant comme s'ils étaient un couple. Il s'inquiète pour une montre, mais est rassuré de la trouver dans le sac à main de sa "compagne" et promet de le faire modifier pour qu'il aille à son poignet. Une fois arrivée, Kira prend la main, et essuie les quelques gouttes de sang qui tombent sur son siège avant de rentrer.

Peu de temps après, Kira achète aussi une bague pour sa "compagne".

Yoshikage Kira veut la tranquillité : le meurtre de Shigechi
Un jour de juin à, Kira décide de prendre un pique-nique à l'air libre et en solitaire, avec pour compagnie sa main. Trois de ses collègues, des femmes qui admirent Kira, l'invitent à manger mais il décline poliment l'offre en prétextant qu'il a quelque chose à livrer urgemment. Il va alors à la boulangerie St. Gentleman's pour acheter un sandwich. Il parle furtivement avec sa "compagne", admirant les sandwichs de qualité de cet établissement et rassurant sa compagne comme si elle était jalouse. Il sort la main, frottant un sandwich et perçant l'enveloppe. Il va alors lécher goulûment la sauce des doigts de cette main et prend le sandwich derrière.

Après avoir acheté un sandwich, Kira va au parc et s'assoit sous un arbre pour manger tranquillement, profitant de Morioh et du beau temps aussi. Lorsqu'il sent sa main, Kira note qu'elle commence à pourrir et prévoit déjà de se trouver une autre compagne. Lorsqu'un chien errant s'approche, intéressé par l'odeur des sandwichs, Kira l'intimide du regard et le fait s'enfuir. Quelques instants plus tard, Kira se rend compte que son sac à sandwich, dans lequel il avait placé la main, a disparu. Il voit le jeune partant avec le sac, et voit autre part le chien errant mangeant un sandwich. Il en conclut qu'il y a eu méprise et que le garçon vient de prendre son sac par erreur. Ceci inquiète Kira parce que s'il voit la main, la police pourra retrouver sa trace avec la bague et les empreintes qu'il a laissé. N'ayant jamais laissé une seule preuve en quinze ans, Kira est déterminé à retrouver sa "compagne".

Kira suit discrètement Shigechi à travers la ville jusqu'à ce que dernier rencontre et. Shigechi leur propose d'aller manger ensemble dans une salle où on stocke de l'équipement sportif pour profiter de la bouilloire et des stocks secrets de thé et de café du professeur de sport. Josuke et Okuyasu refuse son offre. Kira suit alors Shigechi jusqu'à l'école et à la salle de stockage. Comme Shigechi a le dos tourné en préparant son café, Kira entre discrètement, pensant qu'il pourra récupérer le sac sans se faire remarquer et épargner le garçon. Il est cependant surpris lorsqu'Okuyasu et Josuke débarquent dans la salle et il a à peine le temps de se cacher son un plinthe juste à côté du sac. Nerveux, Kira essaie de trouver un moment pour se saisir du sac mais Josuke s'asseoit alors sur le plinthe. Pendant qu'ils sont tous distraits, Kira trouve un cintre en fil de fer et a l'idée de le dérouler pour faire un crochet et prendre le sac discrètement. Malheureusement pour lui, lorsqu'il accroche le sac, ce dernier s'ouvre car l'étiquette cède, et la main manque de tomber hors du sac. Josuke va presque inspecter le sac mais Shigechi l'ordonne de ne pas s'approcher, le garçon s'imaginant que Josuke va ensuite lui prendre son sandwich. Shigechi repart pour préparer le thé, et Kira en profite pour reprendre le sac. Lorsque Shigechi remarque que son sac est parti, il invoque son Stand. Harvest trouve Kira mais c'est alors que le professeur de gym débarque, forçant les trois jeunes à s'enfuir. Kira, caché, a donc l'opportunité de partir de la salle sans laisser de trace.

Cependant, alors qu'il se pensait chanceux, Harvest le retrouve. Shigechi débarque, énervé par cet inconnu qui vient de lui voler son repas. Shigechi envoie plusieurs Harvest arracher le sac des main de Kira, mais le sac se déchire et la main découpée tombe au sol, choquant Shigechi. Kira, sachant qu'il va tuer le garçon de toute façon, décide de se présenter et d'expliquer sa philosophie d'être tranquille à tout prix. Ce faisant, Kira invoque son Stand pour tuer le garçon. Peu impressionné, Shigechi couvre Kira et Killer Queen avec ses Harvest, faisant réaliser Kira que Josuke et Okuyasu doivent aussi avoir des pouvoirs similaires. Kira agite alors une pièce de 100 yen dans sa main, poussant Shigechi à la prendre. Kira lui informe donc de son pouvoir de transformer les objets en bombes et la fait exploser juste devant Shigechi, mutilant le garçon gravement. Lorsque Shigechi reconnait Kira comme le meurtrier de, celui-ci est choqué d'entendre ce nom. Shigechi créé un mur avec Harvest qui se disperse et Kira voit que Shigechi a disparu. Cependant, Kira retrouve Shigechi juste avant que le garçon ne retrouve Josuke et Okuyasu. Il piège la poignée de la porte de la salle de classe, attendant que Shigechi s'en saisisse. Il fait alors exploser Shigechi, le réduisant en poussière. Kira repart de l'école l'esprit tranquille. Il remarque cependant qu'il a perdu un bouton sur sa veste et prévoit de la faire réparer. A son insu, Harvest lui avait volé un bouton et l'a donné à Josuke avant de succomber. Pendant ce temps, Reimi voit le Fantôme de Shigechi partir au ciel, à l'agonie, et réalise que c'est son tueur qui a assassiné Shigechi.

Plus tard, Kira voit le rassemblement des manieurs de Stands présents à Morioh qui implique Josuke, Okuyasu et son père, Koichi, Jotaro, Joseph et Shizuka, Yukako, Hazamada, Tonio, Aya, et Rohan avec Reimi. Kira est curieux de cette réunion mais s'efface dans la foule. Il repère d'ailleurs une victime, une femme méprisante aux belles mains, et va la suivre.

Plus tard, Kira va s'informer sur les manieurs de Stand de Morioh et connaitre un peu plus sur leurs pouvoir. Kira ne va pas réparer sa veste lui-même mais la donne à un vendeur de chaussure qui répare des vêtements aussi.

Sheer Heart Attack : Kira découvert
Le jour suivant, Kira revient chez le cordonnier et réalise que et  sont là en train d'enquêter sur sa veste. Il se faufile à l'arrière-boutique et envoie alors son sous-Stand dans le magasin. Le Stand automatique s'attaque à la cible la plus chaude et tue d'abord le vendeur (qui tenait une tasse de thé chaud) en s'enfonçant sa bouche. Kira essaie d'attirer ses ennemis dans un piège en tirant lentement la veste vers lui, caché par la porte. Jotaro voit cependant à travers son jeu et préfère garder ses distances, évitant ainsi l'explosion de Sheer Heart Attack. Confiant en la capacité de Sheer Heart Attack de tuer Jotaro et Koichi, Kira préfère partir. Il va ainsi attendre dans un café le temps que les héros meurent.

Cependant, Koichi lui éveille, lequel immobilise Sheer Heart Attack en multipliant son poids. Pendant ce temps, Kira s'impatiente. C'est alors que sa main gauche s'alourdit et il brise sa tasse de café. Ceci attire l'attention d'un serveur, ce qu'il déteste. Il décide alors de partir voir ce qui se passe et donne hâtivement de l'argent au serveur pour payer sa consommation mais sa main est tellement lourde qu'il ne peut pas tenir son bras droit. Il chute, détruisant la table et déchirant aussi les vêtements du serveur, ce qui met Kira au centre de l'attention dans le café. Alors qu'il retourne vers le cordonnier, Kira rencontre une paire de voyous qui se fritent avec lui, s'énervant quand Kira les prend de haut. Jaloux de son beau costume et de ses manières, les deux hommes profitent de l'handicap de Kira pour le faire tomber et lui lacent ses chaussures ensemble. Kira exhibe son portefeuille et lorsque l'un des voyou le prend, il fait exploser ses doigts. En chemin, Kira jure de faire payer Jotaro et Koichi pour l'humiliation qu'il subit en ce moment.

Kira parvient finalement à atteindre l'arrière de la boutique et y retrouve Koichi en colère, Jotaro gravement blessé et inconscient, et son Stand immobilisé. Koichi reconnait Kira et l'attaque avec Echoes, mais le contre facilement et le balais du poing. Sheer Heart Attack sort de la portée d'Echoes et peut recommencer à bouger, prenant Koichi en tenail avec Killer Queen et Sheer Heart Attack. Il capture Koichi et prend le temps de l'humilier et de le cogner personnellement pour se venger. Cependant, Koichi lui vole son portefeuille et apprend son nom. Kira n'en fait pas grand cas mais Koichi déclare que si un gamin tel que lui peut découvrir son identité, alors Kira sera forcément démasqué. Humilié, Kira succombe à la colère et transperce Koichi du poing de Killer Queen. Kira veut vite en finir avec Koichi avant que ses alliés n'arrivent. Cependant, il perd quelques secondes à remettre les chaussettes de Koichi à l'endroit.

Dès qu'il s'apprête à transformer un des boutons de Koichi en bombe, quelqu'un attaque et Killer Queen bloque le coup. C'est en fait Jotaro et qui se sont réveillé. Kira croit qu'il a l'avantage car Jotaro est blessé gravement et a du mal à tenir debout. D'ailleur, dit-il, le coup de poing de Star Platinum était facile à bloquer. Jotaro s'agenouille de douleur et Killer Queen attaque. A sa grande surprise, Star Platinum lui donne un violent coup de poing puis le tabasse violemment, l'envoyant voler au loin. Jotaro perd finalement conscience. Kira reprend lentement ses esprits, et voit que et  sont arrivés. Il voit Josuke soigner Koichi et Jotaro et essaie de ramper avant qu'ils ne se réveillent. Josuke et Okuyasu le rejoignent, suspicieux. Kira essaie alors de jouer la comédie en prétendant être un civil innocent. Cependant, il fait l'erreur de demander à Josuke de le soigner mais Josuke démasque alors Kira comme étant le tueur manieur de Stand qui sévit en ville. Kira révèle sa nature et se sectionne la main gauche tout en relâchant Sheer Heart Attack afin de pouvoir s'enfuir sans qu'Echoes ne l'affecte. Kira s'enfuit.

Kira marche à travers Morioh, rencontrant notamment ses collègues qui sont bouleversés de le voir couvert de sang. Kira se dirige vers le salon de beauté d', prenant de force un avec la même corpulence que lui, tue cet homme, puis force Aya à utiliser  pour échanger leurs visages et empreintes de doigts. Kira s'échappe par l'arrière boutique après avoir blessé Aya et transformé un bouton en bombe. Il échappe de peu à Josuke et ses amis, qui ont suivi sa trace car a touché la main coupée de Kira, laquelle est "réparée" et vole vers lui. Il récupère sa main tandis que les héros sont distraits par l'explosion d'Aya, et Kira se fond dans la foule de salarymen qui reviennent du travail. Ainsi, Kira a réussi à échapper à la justice, changeant d'identité par la même occasion.

Yoshikage Kira's New Situation
Kira thus goes to the Kawajiri's house and discovers Shinobu, Kosaku's unloving wife who feels trapped in a loveless marriage, and also Hayato, the seemingly equally apathetic son of the family. When he returns home, Kira is not greeted by his wife, who says that she hasn't had time to prepare dinner and only gives him a bowl of instant ramen. Kira simply cooks himself, which impresses Shinobu despite herself. However, Kira feels his predatory instincts increase and must clip his nails.

The next day, Shinobu reprimands him for leaving the cat outside and he apologizes. The landlord comes in and then demands to 260,000 yen that the Kawajiri owe him, two months' worth of rent. Shinobu presses "Kosaku" to go to their safe and open it to at least accept their savings, pushing Kira into an impossible situation as he doesn't know the combination. Kira decides to act boldly and confronts the landowner. While he apologizes profusely, he summons Killer Queen and has it steal 500,000 yen from the landlord's own bag, pretending to honestly paying the man. Shinobu has seen everything, but instead develops romantic feelings for this new, more assertive and active version of her husband, without suspecting a thing.

From now on, Kira applies himself to perfect his disguise and steadily make sure nothing about him is suspect. However, his sexual frustration grows as he refrains himself from killing and one evening, he almost lets himself kill Shinobu, who fortunately mistake his gestures for mere sexual advances. Meanwhile Hayato spies on his parents, and wonders why his father would practice writing his own name over and over again.

Meeting Stray Cat
One day as Kira returns home, he notices that Kosaku's shoes are too big for him and plan to replace them. Suddenly, he hears Shinobu cry in fear and rush to his side. Having found a stray cat in her basement, Shinobu returns to Kira and begs him for help, explaining the cat's hostility towards her. Kira is enticed upon hearing that the cat had a strange hole in its neck, deducing that it is the result of an arrow strike and that the cat is a potential Stand user. However, when Kira goes down to the basement to investigate, he finds the cat dead, having been fatally pierced by glass shards during a previous fight with Shinobu; from this, Kira determines that the cat must not have been a Stand user due to how easily it died. Kira buries the cat in his backyard.

The next day, Kira comes back to the garden and notices Stray Cat, the cat-plant. He thus confirms that the cat he buried was indeed a Stand user based on Shinobu's account of what just happened to her. As Stray Cat grows in size, Kira performs a number of tests on Stray Cat. He realizes that Stray Cat is the Stand reincarnation of the cat, conceived by the arrow and brought forth from death. Shinobu, meanwhile, asks Kira if the spot he's looking at is really where he buried the cat, citing her dislike of that spot due to it being where she lost her toenail. Kira, however, is more concerned about not letting Shinobu notice the plant moving, fearing that it would allow Jotaro to trace it back to him. Thus, Kira sends out Killer Queen to discretely blow up Stray Cat and get him out of his hair, only for his bomb to dud; Kira determines that this anomaly is the result of Stray Cat's powers. Shinobu sees Stray Cat moving, but is knocked out by one of his air bubbles. When Stray Cat knocks away Kira's bomb, it goes off, allowing Kira to deduce that the plant is surrounding itself with a vacuum bubble to suppress Killer Queen's weaponry.

Killer Queen and Stray Cat square off. During their fight, Stray Cat uses an air bubble to blow up a nearby cactus, covering Kira and Shinobu in cactus spines. Kira panics that Shinobu got hit, and then is stunned when he realizes that he just worried about some woman. He backpedals by stating he was only relieved that her eyes weren't struck by the spines because if something happens to her then it would be easier for Jotaro to discover his identity. Stray Cat fires more compressed air bubbles but Killer Queen blocks it. Kira says the attack is nothing against his Stand now. However, the cat-plant simply grooms itself while Kira realizes that its attack got air inside the blood vessels of his forearm. The air progresses up Kira's arm and moves toward his heart, threatening to cause a deadly embolism due to its large dosage, forcing Kira to stab his arm open to release the excess air. Stray Cat prepares to attack him again, but Kira is at a loss of how he could defeat it. Just then, he spots a golf ball on the ground and rolls it over to the cat-plant. Stray Cat notices the ball and has fun rolling it around with its leaves. Thus, Kira is saved for now as the cat is distracted from its grudge.

Kira finally notices Hayato spying on him and Shinobu, noting the child's suspicious behavior during his time as Kosaku Kawajiri. After Hayato exits the house, Kira also leaves to go to work but notices that all the kids from Hayato's school wear identical yellow sun hats. Remembering that Hayato left his hat at home, Kira returns to the Kawajiri household, suspecting that Hayato is still at home and up to no good. Kira hears a noise and rushes up to the attic in a panic. However, he merely sees that Stray Cat has made a mess, probably because it was hungry. Kira leaves, reassured that he doesn't have to kill Hayato for knowing his true identity. Kira thus inadvertently confirms Hayato's worst suspicion as the boy eavesdrops on Kira, hidden in the attic.

Hayato's Suspicions
Kira continues to struggle to maintain his disguise as Kosaku Kawajiri, with his murderous urges growing more and more. While on the subway, he is pestered by a couple after he accidentally irritates them, and gets mocked by them for his bowling pin nail clipper. In retaliation, Kira gives in to his urges and follows the couple home, calmly destroying the man with Killer Queen and forcing the woman to clip his nails. Kira torments the woman, pinning her boyfriend's earrings, his ears still attached, to her before using Killer Queen to completely obliterate her, save for her hand.

However, Kira's moment of calm joy is interrupted when he realizes that he was being covertly filmed by Hayato. Not wanting to be exposed, Kira destroys the woman's hand before following his "son" back home and confront him in the bathroom. After a very tense time together, Kira and Hayato turn on each other when Kira confirms that Hayato was taping him. Kira attempts to kill Hayato and make it look like an accident, only for Hayato to point out that all of this is being filmed as well. Trapped between a rock and a hard place, both Kira and Hayato's tensions come to a boiling point. Kira loses his temper and kills Hayato.

A New Power
Having barely managed to hide the corpse from Shinobu, Kira then learns that Rohan and the others now have "Kosaku" as one of their suspects. Under such desperate circumstances, Yoshihiro suggests to leave Morioh but Yoshikage vehemently refuses to become a fugitive and lose all hope of a peaceful life. Yoshikage is suddenly impaled by Yoshihiro's Arrow, giving Killer Queen a new ability.

Another One Bites the Dust
The next morning, Hayato is alive again. Kira reappears with a cheerful and confident attitude contradicting his supposed predicament. When Shinobu accidentally breaks her teapot and gets angry that Hayato hasn't answered the phone, Kira acts the part of a good father and kisses Shinobu on the cheek, frustrating Hayato. When the two go out, Kira openly confesses that thanks to a new ability, he will keep his peaceful life posing as his father forever.

Hayato then meets Rohan, who triggers Kira's new ability: Bites the Dust. Killer Queen is posted inside of Hayato and infiltrates the eyes of anyone who interrogates the boy about Kira, then makes them explode from the inside. Rohan dies and the second part of Bites the Dust activate. Time is rewinded to one hour ago, just this morning. Hayato learns about his new condition. Seeing Hayato's distress but not remembering the loop, Kira guesses that one of his enemies has died. While Shinobu answers the phone, Kira enjoys the realization that one of his enemies, most likely Rohan Kishibe, has died. When Kira tries to kiss Shinobu on the cheek, Hayato ruins the moment by making his teapot fall on the ground. Nonetheless, Kira is unfazed by the incident.

Hayato tries to sneak out of the house to warn Rohan but Kira surprises him anyway and explains him that the events that occurred last time will still happen even without him being there, making any effort to avert the death moot. Rohan thus is killed by Bites the Dust's explosion and Reimi witnesses his ghost ascending to the heavens. Even though he could make Rohan's death permanent by deactivating Bites the Dust right now, Kira decides to keep it inside of Hayato in case Rohan's companions find him. After Kira takes his leave, Hayato meets Josuke Higashikata, Koichi, Okuyasu and Jotaro and kills them as well.

The next loop, everything seems normal but a teacup breaks but only while Kira has holding it. Moreover, Hayato kisses his mother's cheek in Kira's place. Kira his suspicious about Hayato and keeps his distance as the moment of Rohan's death approaches. His instincts tell him to observe Hayato further. However, the boy's desperate looks trick Kira into thinking all is well and the man finally approaches Hayato. Hayato unveils Stray Cat who shoots straight at Kira's chest. However, he then gets back up to Hayato's horror and proceeds to explain how the events of the morning have led him to put his wristwatch at the right place for the right time. Kira is at his peak just as the clock hits 8:30AM, the time of Rohan's death. Kira guesses that all the heroes will die since only this many people would allow Hayato enough loop to think of such a plan. He gloats and inadvertently reveals his name. However, Hayato reveals that he also made a call to Josuke this morning, making him come early. Fatefully, Josuke hears Kira says his name and attacks him. Kira is forced to recall Killer Queen and cancel Bites the Dust's effects.

Battle Against Josuke Higashikata
Forced to engage in a battle against Josuke and Okuyasu who are still looking to avenge Shigechi, Kira reaffirms his commitment to a peaceful life but also boasts that he won't lose when backed into a corner and knows all about the group's ability. Crazy Diamond and Killer Queen engage each other but Crazy Diamond takes the advantage. As Killer Queen tries to touch Josuke, Okuyasu intervenes and makes Kira turn toward himself with The Hand, only for his side to be blasted apart. Kira has just stored Stray Cat in Killer Queen's belly and now has an infinite supply of invisible remote bombs. Josuke is hit once but then discovers but then enters minimal range, stopping Kira from triggering his bombs without risking hurting himself. When Josuke rushes to Okuyasu's side to heal him, Kira touches the body and attempts to lure Josuke into touching his fallen friend. However, Hayato, also deducing that Kira can only set off one bomb at a time, sets off the bomb on himself, allowing Josuke to heal both him and Okuyasu. Josuke and Hayato soon retreat into an empty house, carrying Okuyasu's body with him as the rain stops. Kira, meanwhile now no longer believes that Jotaro isn't the greatest threat to his peaceful life, but Josuke is.

The skies clear up on Morioh as Kira must call his boss and deeply apologizes for his anticipated delay. Eyeing the house where Josuke and Hayato have hidden inside, Kira is surprised by a suspicious neighbor and promptly kills him. Yoshihiro, hidden in Hayato's jacket, helps him spot Josuke's position and Kira is able to pilot an air bomb into Josuke, deeply wounding him. At the same time, Josuke breaks a vase and throws a glass shard at Kira, who was on guard and deflects it with Killer Queen. However, the shard is an automatic homing attack set toward the dried blood on Kira's jacket. Kira takes the shard on the back as a result. As Kira takes cover, Josuke sees through the window that Kira is still holding his mobile phone. Killer Queen then sends another bubble hiding inside the house while Crazy Diamond shoots a shard again. However, this time, Josuke discovers Yoshihiro and takes the phone to guide the air towards the ghost, killing him for good. Josuke reveals himself to Kira and at the same moment, the second shard hits Kira again.

Josuke then comes out of the house; despite their injuries, both Stand Users are determined to win the fight. Another close-quarters fight ensues, but Stray Cat uses his bubbles to protect Killer Queen and himself from Crazy Diamond's attacks. Just as Josuke is about to be hit by another air bomb, he is saved by a very much alive Okuyasu, who teleports the bomb and erases it. Okuyasu then effortlessly steals Stray Cat from Killer Queen, driving Kira further into a corner as Jotaro and the others arrive on the scene. Injured, surrounded on all sides, Kira is under tremendous pressure.

Kira is left in disbelief at the prospect that Jotaro might finally catch him. As a paramedic who came to help any wounded victim of the explosion from earlier rushes to aid him, Kira senses his opportunity to escape. He reveals his identity and his hand fetish to the female paramedic, also revealing him as a murderer who killed a total of 48 women for their hands. Hayato suddenly screams for the heroes to stop Kira; he plans to make the paramedic the new host of Bites the Dust and undo his defeat. Jotaro runs at Kira as Killer Queen raises its left thumb but Echoes ACT3 stops him from pushing the trigger. This gives Jotaro the time to enter Star Platinum and pummel the serial-killer.

Delirious, Kira still clings to the hope of activating his Stand but finds himself in the way of an ambulance, which crushes his head. Yoshikage Kira dies.

The Fate of Yoshikage Kira
Kira finds himself in an unfamiliar part of the town after initially believing he's made it. He soon encounters Reimi, who reveal to him that he's now a Ghost, making him remember the circumstances of his death. Upon recognizing Reimi and wondering why she would show him her back wound, Kira recalls that his father told him about Ghost Girl's Alley and warned him that he mustn't turn his back. He sees through Reimi's ploy and tries to force her to turn back, actually beginning to enjoy his status as a ghost who won't have to worry about anything. However, his plan fails when Arnold comes out from the shadows and bites off his hand. Kira falls to the ground, ends up turning around in surprise, and sees the hands coming to get him. Even when he calls Killer Queen, the Stand itself is torn into pieces. Panicking, Kira asks Reimi where he's being taken and Reimi answers that no matter what, it won't be a peaceful place. Kira is dragged to another world by the hands and disappears for good.

Deadman's Questions
Somehow, Kira returns to the world of the living as a Ghost. He has lost all memories of his former life save his own name, as well as changed appearance. At one point, Kira meets a monk and takes up her job offer to act as her personal hitman in exchange for money. He believes that, by making this job his purpose to live, he might find happiness although he also is subconsciously certain that he won't go to heaven. He also dreams of acquiring his own house. Kira is first shown on a mission to assassinate a child murderer before the prescription time for his crime applies at midnight. He takes the train to Nijigaoka station, smelled the flowers of the flowershop for 3 minutes then goes to the downtown shops to cut out a picture of a deliveryman to perform his plan. Needing a phone and a knife, he heads for the apartment of a random woman named Yamaoka. He rings and with the help of the cutout, pretends to be a deliveryman from the "Mitsumaru department store", pretending to have made a delivery by mistake and needing the receipt signed. The woman is reluctant to open but tells Kira to slip the paper in the mail slot, which is a good enough invitation for Kira to slip into Yamaoka's apartment. Kira notices that there is another resident in here in a bedroom and he cannot enter. Lost in his thought for a moment, he then decides to call his target but the phone won't work. He goes to the kitchen to take a knife but meets a dog, which surprises him because pets are not allowed in this block. The dog chases him and bites off his leg, Kira then bumps into Yamaoka and loses an arm. Thankfully, he frightens Yamaoka by phasing his hand into a closet and making a mess. Yamaoka opens the closet, pushing Kira's limbs to him. Kira then escapes the dog by phasing through the wall. This same evening, Kira finds his target in Yamaoka's bedroom and gaslights him to push him into taunting anybody to come get him as the hour of the prescription approaches. Kira thus opens the window of the bedroom and stabs the target, a wanted child murderer, before leaving.

Later, Kira goes to the monk's temple to get another assignment. It is shown how he hides his money in a pillar and has exclusive access to one ticket machine by putting a panel stating that the machine is broken. His peaceful ride is disturbed by a noisy boy named Yoshiki. Kira puts Yoshiki's shoe in his mouth and knocks down his mother to have peace. At the temple, Kira is surprised to by his assignment. He must investigate a ghost house who belonged to a former officer and is seemingly related to a surge in suicides in the area. Kira finds the house, hidden in a crack between two buildings. Entering the house, Kira is amazed at all the ghost furnitures that he could use. However, when he opens a cabinet, a bunch of eggs fall out and crack open. Anxious about these eggs, Kira eventually discovers and is attacked by Cleansers. The cleansers eat at his arm and he is forced to cut his own arm off. Kira runs to the exit but Cleansers have barred the way, forcing him to run to the second floor. The Cleansers catch up to him, but Kira finds a ghost pistol and fires at the creatures. This allows him to jump out of the window. Taking an ammunition case with, Kira sees that the target was absent and decides to investigate the monk's claim, promising to kill her if he finds any discrepancy. Looking at the blue sky, Kira wonders where he should rest this night.

JORGE JOESTAR
In the light novel JORGE JOESTAR, an incarnation of Yoshikage Kira lives in the 37th universe. Like his original universe counterpart, he wields Killer Queen along with Sheer Heart Attack and Bites the Dust. Kira is thirty eight years old in 2012, making him born in 1974 instead of 1966 like his original counterpart.

One day, a dog belonging to brings a woman's severed hand back to Shigechi. The hand had unusual nail polish allowing Koji Hirose and his friends to figure out where the nail polish was sold. Koji and Rohan almost catch him but Kira was overconfident that he could kill them and then escape. Kira takes the time to explain his Stand name and power. Just before they almost die, Muryotaisu and Fukashigi Nijimura find Kira and Koji. They almost defeat Kira but he manages to get away, forcing to swap his face and fingerprints with a random passerby. Kira then kills Aya and the other man by turning them into bombs. He also kills Shigechi as a warning not to pursue him.

Kira causes fifteen locked room murders to occur by manipulating random victims into killing people for him by using Bites the Dust. Each victim knew Kira's full name and remember him appearing in their dreams with a hat pulled over his eyes. He tells them that when the police arrests them and asks about any dreams they had, then they should state that if Jorge Joestar ever comes to Morioh, Kira will kill him.

Bites the Dust
Jorge heads to Morioh anyways where he meets at the Arrow Cross House. Jorge tries to ask if Rohan knows Kira, but suddenly couldn't remember Kira's name or finish his sentence. Rohan had used Heaven's Door on Jorge to prevent Jorge from remembering, because Bites the Dust was active on Rohan and saying his name would cause Jorge to explode. Fukashigi later exclaims that Jorge might actually be Kira when meeting Jorge at Rohan's house. As soon as he says Kira's name, seals Fukashigi's body in a dimension underneath the Arrow Cross House in a state between life and death, saving him from exploding. Reimi reveals that Rohan was also being hidden in the same dimension where Bites the Dust cannot explode, as there is no oxygen there. The Rohan that Jorge had been communicating with was an astral projection from Reimi's power. Kira panics after suddenly seeing a lot more detectives in Morioh and cancels the effect of Bites the Dust. Morioh suddenly detaches itself from Japan and moves on its own and Jorge wonders if Kira caused it with a mysterious power. Meanwhile, Chomaru Bariya and other detectives hold a live television conference. They declare that they know Kira is not responsible for the deaths of Sachiari Hakkyoku, Nekoneko Nyan Nyan Nyan, and Tsukumojuku Kato. They promise not to go after Kira since another mysterious killer was trying to frame him, so they ask that Kira cooperates by providing any information for their investigation.

At some point, Kira uses Bites the Dust on and brutally murders  and. On July 24, 2012, Kosaku and are lured to Arrow Cross House by  who kills the two of them. Passione eventually finds their bodies, assuming that Kosaku's corpse belongs to Kira.

Chien Kunimido
Jorge and Kars decide that they'll need Kira's Bites the Dust ability to help them slowly go back in time to the original universe where Dio Brando had gone to. Jorge eventually realizes that Kira must have taken the identity of someone working in an election office, where there are lots of young, beautiful women wearing gloves. Their only lead is Chien Kunimido, the secretary of Morioh's mayor, Denta Shishimaru. Chien was nowhere to be found after Denta was kidnapped by Passione. Jorge informs to find Chien and they eventually find him in the basement of his home.

Disguised as Chien, Kira had blown up several detectives. He tortures George Joestar II to the brink of death. By the time Bucciarati and the others arrive at Chien's house, Kira apparently killed George already. Angered, Bucciarati threatens to kill Kira but Jorge warns him not to, as they need Kira's power. He has Bucciarati drop Kira through the hole in Cube House, which teleports Kira to Jorge. Kars lectures Kira about how he could never wash the blood away from killing humans, and that's why he's so weak. Kars demonstrates by touching blood on Kira's lip and creating a round, transparent bubble from his fingertip which transforms into a woman's head. Kars then touches Kira with the finger and the woman's head attaches to Kira's body. In time, more and more bubbles surround the head, causing Kira to be covered in several heads of women. Kira screams, trying to shake them off. Eventually, Kars touches the five metre long chain of heads, causing them to shrink and disappear. Kira goes into a state of shock, with hollow eyes and muttering that he's filthy.

Kars pulls Killer Queen out of Kira and the Stand attempts to blow Kars up. It repeatedly tries making Kars into a bomb, but Kars contains the explosions inside him and regenerates. Kars then orders Killer Queen to set Bites the Dust on Kira. Killer Queen obliges and goes inside Kira, shocking Kira that his Stand would betray him. Kira starts crying as Kars grabs his body and flies into the sky. Kars constantly has Bites the Dust activate and repeatedly explodes to keep going back in time.

After the final battle against Dio Brando, Kars uses the exhausted Kira to take everybody back to their respective universes and timelines. His ultimate fate is unknown.
