Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)
Yoshikage Kira is a mysterious figure introduced in Part VIII: Jojolion.
Synopsis
Apparently, Kira was a marine surgeon who was once acquainted with Sasame Ojirou a long time ago. He was found dead near the wall eyes where the Jojolion Protagonist was found, apparently having died from cardiac arrest.[2]
Appearance/Personality
Kira of the Steel Ball Run universe is a fairly tall individual with black hair who wears sailor suits. According to Sasame Ojirou, he has very beautiful hands, even having sculptures in their form at his house. This Kira also bears the distinctive wavy lock of hair that hangs from the original Kira's head, though his black hair gives him a resemblance to Jotaro Kujo as well.
He also spoke in a rather confusing and insulting manner, wondering whether surfers were people of the sea or people of the land, and insulting Sasame by berating this uncertainty.
Stand
His Stand power remains unknown at this time (or if he even has one), but he was able to convince Sasame Ojirou, who was in a drunken stupor at the time, to eat all the fingers on his hands.
Real identity
The real identity of this character is unknown. The second chapter stated that the protagonist's name could be Yoshikage Kira, but later he shows doubts about it, thinking that the enemy in the upper room is the real Kira. It is only revealed after the struggle that neither is Yoshikage Kira.
After the protagonist's struggle with Daiya Higashikata, he eventually enters the forbidden room. In there he finds a family tree that reveals Yoshikage Kira as the son of Holly J. Joestar and Yoshiteru Kira, making Kira a direct descendant of Johnny Joestar, one of the two protagonists of Steel Ball Run.
Trivia
- In Chapter 3, when the protagonist and Yasuho Hirose visit his apartment, other references to the original villain can be found, such as bottles of nail clippings and a portrait of the Mona Lisa.
- Interestingly, where the protagonist is said to have four testicles, Kira in JoJolion had none.[2]
