===[[Rohan Kishibe's Adventure (
[[File:Kira first appeared.png|thumb|210x210px|Kira's first appearance
Yoshikage Kira is first seen when [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] stops [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] from walking into the road as he's driving. He briefly stops his car and stares at the teen but ultimately remains silent and leaves, returning home with the [[Kira's "Girlfriends"|severed hand]] of a recent victim with whom he gets acquainted with. Kira worries about his girlfriend's wristwatch only to realize it is in her hand bag and promises to get it fixed the next day so that it fits her. Once they arrive at his home, the hand drips some blood on the seat, and Kira makes her wipe the bloodstain before they enter the house.
Some time after, Kira buys a ring for his girlfriend to wear.
===Protecting His Identity===
====[[Yoshikage Kira Wants to Live Quietly (
[[File:Beautiful_Duwang.png|thumb|left|Kira has a picnic]]
On a sunny day in [[Morioh]], salaryman and secret serial killer [[Yoshikage Kira]] is invited to lunch by several of his female coworkers and admirers but pretends that he has an urgent document to deliver. Instead, he goes to [[Morioh#St. Gentleman
After buying a sandwich, Kira sits under a tree at the park to eat it, contemplating the beauty of Morioh. The hand begins to smell and Kira already plans to get a new girlfriend. A dog comes by, begging for food but Kira scares him away with a look. Suddenly, Kira notices that his sandwich bag, which contains the severed hand, has gone. He sees a [[Shigekiyo Yangu|fat boy]] leaving with a bag while the dog from earlier is munching on a sandwich, and understands that the boy took his bag by mistake. Kira follows the kid to prevent him from seeing the hand, as he fears that the police could easily trace the ring on it and Kira's fingerprints back to him. Having not left a single clue during his 15-year career as a serial killer, Kira is determined to reclaim his "girlfriend".
[[File:Shigechi_holding_his_lunch.png|thumb|Kira trails Shigechi, who unwittingly has his "girlfriend"]]
Kira follows Shigechi across town until the latter runs into Josuke & Okuyasu again. Shigechi offers to let them into his school's prep room to have the coffee and tea that the gym teacher regularly smuggles into the school, but Josuke & Okuyasu turn him down. Thinking that he can reclaim his "girlfriend" without much trouble, Kira follows Shigechi into his school's prep room and tries to grab the St. Gentleman
[[File:KQ explosion aftermath.png|thumb|left|Kira blows up [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]] using a coin as a bomb
However, Shigechi notices Kira carrying the bag from the same bakery that his sandwich came from, and suspects Kira of having stolen his sandwich. Shigechi tries to take it back with Harvest, but the bag rips open, exposing Kira's "girlfriend." Kira, knowing that he'll probably be exposed, gives Shigechi a monologue on how he wishes to live a quiet life before summoning his own [[Stand]], [[Killer Queen]], aiming to kill Shigechi before the boy can expose him. Shigechi summons his own Stand, [[Harvest]], to try and incapacitate him. Kira deduces from his incident in the school that [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] and [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] are also Stand users while revealing a 100 yen coin. Shigechi orders Harvest to take the coin, right before Kira reveals Killer Queen's ability to turn anything it touches into a bomb. The coin explodes, maiming Shigechi but not killing him. After revealing his knowledge of [[Reimi Sugimoto|Reimi]], Shigechi uses Harvest to distract Kira and hide. Kira overtakes Shigechi and traps the doorknob of the classroom where Shigechi's friends are. He detonates the bomb he planted on it, causing Shigechi to explode from the inside-out without leaving a trace. Kira leaves the school, reassured that he's managed to escape notice and doesn't think much of the [[Kira's Button|button]] he's lost. However, [[Harvest]] has taken it and brought it to Josuke as a clue to the killer. Meanwhile, Reimi witnesses Shigechi's [[ghost]] disintegrating in agony while ascending to Heaven, immediately realizing that this was Kira's doing.
[[File:Kira_arc.png|thumb|Kira hidden in the crowd]]
Incidentally, Kira witnesses the meeting between Josuke, Okuyasu and [[Father Nijimura|his father]], [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]], [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]], [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] and [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]], [[Yukako Yamagishi|Yukako]], [[Toshikazu Hazamada|Hazamada]], [[Tonio Trussardi|Tonio]], [[Aya Tsuji|Aya]], and [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]] and brings them to meet Reimi. Curious, Kira doesn't act but scouts his next victim.
Later, Kira investigates the [[Stand]]
====[[Sheer Heart Attack (
[[File:SHA_initial_appearance.png|thumb|left|Kira sends Sheer Heart Attack]]
The next day, Kira comes back to Centipede Shoes, and sees that [[Jotaro Kujo]] and [[Koichi Hirose]] are investigating his jacket. As a result, he sends [[Sheer Heart Attack]] after them. Sheer Heart Attack kills the owner first because of his hot cup of tea. Then, Kira tries to pull his jacket to him, slowly to bait Jotaro and Koichi into approaching but Jotaro sees through the ploy and stays out of the range of Sheer Heart Attack's blast. Kira leaves, confident in Sheer Heart Attack's ability to kill his foes and relaxes at a café.
[[File:Kira annoyed at the problem.png|thumb|Kira vows to kill [[Koichi Hirose]] and [[Jotaro Kujo]] personally
However, when Koichi awakens [[Echoes|Echoes
Kira eventually reaches Centipede Shoes and confronts an angry Koichi. Killer Queen proves to be stronger than Echoes ACT3 and thus it is knocked away, making Sheer Heart Attack come out of Echoes's range. Kira then easily beats up Koichi with a pincer attack and takes the time to torture him as payment for the earlier humiliation. However, Koichi steals his wallet and learns his name and address. Kira is extremely vexed as Koichi declares that he's easy to unmask and has Killer Queen impale the boy through the chest in a fit of rage. Kira prepares to make Koichi explode, but sees that the boy's socks are inside out.
[[File:Kira severs his hand.png|left|thumb|Kira severs his own left hand using [[Killer Queen]]
Kira hesitates and proceeds to fix Koichi's sock, allowing time for Jotaro to get back up. [[Star Platinum]] attacks but Killer Queen easily blocks the punch, making Kira overconfident about his chances. However, Jotaro does heavily pummel him with his Stand before collapsing from his wounds again. Kira loses consciousness for a moment and wakes up hearing Josuke and Okuyasu on the scene. He pretends to be a mere bystanders but makes the mistake of asking Josuke to 'fix' him as he fixed Jotaro and Koichi, meaning he can see Stand abilities. Kira outs himself as the enemy. Cornered, Kira cuts his own hand off to release Sheer Heart Attack from Echoes
In the streets of Morioh, Kira meets his coworkers again and shocks them with his bloody state. Kira forces a random commuter, [[Kosaku|Kosaku Kawajiri]], to come with him to [[Aya Tsuji]]'s shop and forces her to use [[Cinderella]] to switch his face and fingerprints with [[Kosaku Kawajiri]]'s. Kira escapes through the back shop and even gets his hand back since Josuke fixed it to follow Kira. However, in their distraction with Aya, the heroes loses Yoshikage Kira's trail. Kira has escaped retribution and changed identity.
===A New Identity===
====[[Yoshikage Kira's New Situation (
[[File:Kira glares at Shinobu.png|thumb|Kira's new identity as [[Kosaku Kawajiri]]]]
Kira thus goes to the Kawajiri's house and discovers [[Shinobu Kawajiri|Shinobu]], Kosaku's unloving wife who feels trapped in a loveless marriage, and also [[Hayato Kawajiri|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.
Line 68 ⟶ 66:
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 Kawajiri|Hayato]] spies on his parents, and wonders why his father would practice writing his own name over and over again.
====[[Cats Love Yoshikage Kira (
[[File:Tama%27s_Death.png|thumb|A cat dies at the Kawajiris' residence]]
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 [[Tama|a stray cat]] in her basement, [[Shinobu Kawajiri|Shinobu]] returns to [[Yoshikage Kira|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.
Line 74 ⟶ 72:
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 Kujo|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.
[[File:KQ attacking Stray Cat.png|left|thumb|Summoning Killer Queen to dispose of the hostile [[Stray Cat]]
[[File:Hayato glaring at Kira.png|thumb|Hayato suspects Kira]]
Kira finally notices [[Hayato Kawajiri|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.
====[[My Dad
[[File:Kira & minako.png|thumb|left|Kira slips up and murders someone]]
[[Yoshikage Kira|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 Clippers|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.
[[File:Kira_plans_to_kill_Hayato.png|thumb|left|Kira confronts Hayato]]
Line 90 ⟶ 88:
Having barely managed to hide the corpse from Shinobu, Kira then learns that [[Rohan Kishibe|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 [[Bow and Arrow|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 [[Shinobu's Wedgwood Tea Set|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.
[[File:Kira stands over Hayato.png|thumb|left|Kira telling Hayato that [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]]'s fate cannot be changed
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 Hirose|Koichi]], [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] and [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and kills them as well.
[[File:Josuke overhears Kira.png|thumb|Josuke hears Kira say his own name]]
The next loop, everything seems normal but a [[Shinobu's Wedgwood Tea Set|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.
====[[Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable (
[[File:Kira prepares for battle.png|thumb|Kira prepares himself for a final battle
Forced to engage in a battle against Josuke and [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] who are still looking to avenge [[Shigekiyo Yangu|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 Kujo|Jotaro]] isn't the greatest threat to his peaceful life, but Josuke is.

==[[Deadman's Questions]]==
Somehow, Kira returns to the world of the living as a [[
Kira is first shown on a mission to assassinate a [[Wanted Man|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 [[Rocky|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 [[Ghost#Cleansers|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.
==[[
{{Non-Canon|eoh}}
Kira obtains one of the arms of the [[Saint's Corpse]], allowing him to travel through space and time.
Two versions of Kira, the original and the one who has taken [[Kosaku Kawajiri]]'s identity, manage to hide from the heroes of ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' in the year 2011 of another universe's [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]]. However, when they arrive, they stumble upon two Josuke, the [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|one]] from this universe as well as the [[Josuke Higashikata|one]] from their own timeline. Angered, they attack the JoJos, but are defeated and flee again, disappointed.
They eventually end in [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]]. Uninterested in the power of the Saint's Corpse, they are forced by DIO to relinquish their part but are content to lay low. However, the heroes eventually cross path with them in the prison, at which point they feel they have no choice but to fight. They are defeated, but disappear after threatening the heroes.
They are not seen again, but during the ending credits, a photo shows that Kira has not killed [[Shigekiyo Yangu]] and was defeated before he was able to assume the identity of Kosaku Kawajiri, who is shown to still be alive.
