Yoshikage Kira/History: Difference between revisions

A detailed chronological summary of the life of Yoshikage Kira.

 

Kira committed his first murder in August 13, 1983,<ref name=C334>{{Ch|Chapter 334}}</ref> at the age of 18, his first victims being Reimi Sugimoto and her entire family, including their dog [[Arnold]]. He did so on impulse when he saw Reimi and then snuck into her house.<ref name="JumpRemix" /> Since then, he would murder his victims by stabbing them so viciously that they were left with horrific back wounds.

 

 

After awakening his Stand, Kira was able to erase all evidence of his murders by atomizing the victims' bodies, resulting in all of them to be ruled out as disappearances. At an unknown point, Kira named his Stand, but refrained from inquiring further about its ability. Though the number of missing people would eventually attract attention, no one would have any reason to suspect that Yoshikage Kira was involved due to his simple demeanor and lifestyle.

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.

 

===Protecting His Identity===

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".

Later, Kira investigates the [[Stand]] users of Morioh and learns about their powers. Unable to fix his own suit, he pays the owner of the Centipede Shoe Store to repair it for him.

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===

[[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.

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.

 

[[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.

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.

[[File:Kira_plans_to_kill_Hayato.png|thumb|left|Kira confronts Hayato]]

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

[[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]]==

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.
