The Kawajiri Residence is a recurring location featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable. It is a home situated in the Japanese town of Morioh.

After Yoshikage Kira steals the identity of Kosaku Kawajiri to evade capture, he is forced to move into this house and assimilate into his new identity.

Description

Located in the suburbs of Morioh, the Kawajiri residence is a two-story home. While not being visibly in disrepair, Shinobu Kawajiri considers the home to be cheap and in poor condition.[1] The monthly rent of the home is ¥130,000[2], and according to the landlord, pets are forbidden as per the lease.[3] At some point, Hayato Kawajiri secretly installed surveillance cameras which he uses to spy on his parents.[4] When threatened by Kira after witnessing and filming the murders of Minako Okura and Satoru Nakae, Hayato claims the tapes from those cameras aren't kept in the Kawajiri residence, but somewhere where they would definitely be found should something happen to him.[5]

The home's rooms include a foyer, a living room, a kitchen, at least 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a basement, and an attic. The backyard, which is also accessible, features a variety of flora including several flowering shrubs and cacti.

Yoshikage Kira's New Situation

After adopting the identity of Kosaku Kawajiri, Kira arrives at the Kawajiri home, and struggles to open the door to his new home for the first time. Upon hearing the sound of his keys, Shinobu begins having derisive thoughts about her husband, lamenting her loveless marriage to him. As an act of spite, she lies about being to busy to cook, and leaves him an uncooked pack of instant noodles. Expecting him to spinelessly eat it, she's surprised when he proceeds to cook a meal for the both of them.

The surprises surrounding her husband continue into the next day. While going to yell at her husband for leaving their cat out overnight, she notices him shaving with a safety razor instead of his electric razor, despite the former giving him razor burn. When the landlord arrives to collect the past two months of rent, and she asks him to collect ¥100,000 they have in a safe, she notices his reluctance to open the safe. When Kira steals ¥520,000 yen from the landlord's bag and gives it right back to him as payment for the prior two and following two months, she is able to immediately deduce what happened, despite not knowing exactly how. Despite believing the behavior to be reprehensible, Shinobu finds this behavior romantic, and begins to fall in love with the man she believes is her husband.

As the summer season arrives in Morioh, Kira struggles to suppress his murderous urges. Shinobu brings him tea, and after waiting for him to reciprocate, begins to change for the night. Seeing this, Kira loses his restraint and attempts to strangle her, but accidentally startles her. While he apologizes, she mistakes his actions as a sexual gesture, and one again realize her revitalized feelings for him. Unbeknownst to the two, Hayato is in his room monitoring their actions through a security camera. He finds it unusual that the two are behaving romantically, and is intrigued by his father's recent actions.

Cats Love Yoshikage Kira

Kira enters the home on a rainy day, and takes off Kosaku Kawajiri's shoes, noticing they're too big for his feet. As he decides he'll slowly replace Kosaku's shoes with pairs that are his own size, Shinobu barges into the room in a panic, and recounts the events that just happened to her. When she went down to their basement in order to replenish their mineral water, she noticed a British Shorthair cat sitting on a sack of potatoes. While she found the cat to be beautiful, she didn't want it to soil their potatoes or bring fleas, so she carefully attempts to approach and befriend it. After several unsuccessful attempts, she begins to attack and chase the cat, swinging at it with a broom. When the cat jumps and clings to the ceiling, she notices a hold in the cat's neck the size of a ¥1 coin, through which she heard a meow. Curious as to whether the hole was caused by the arrow, Kira accepts Shinobu's request to check on the cat in the basement. He finds that the cat has died from glass shards, including several in it's throat that make it difficult to determine if it was hit by the arrow. He comforts Shinobu, and buries the cat's body in the backyard.

In the backyard the following day, a mysterious plant blooms from the cat's grave. It is the cat, who remembers climbing a tree, being shot by the arrow, and being drawn to the Kawajiri residence, but nothing after that. While getting used to his new body, he notices and recognizes Shinobu after she enters the backyard while holding a broom. Enraged, he unintentionally shoots a bubble of air that rips off one of her toenails, and after proceeding to kill a sparrow, he intuitively understands the power of his Stand, Stray Cat. Kira arrives and, believing he could kill the plant very easily, decides to conduct several tests to figure out what exactly it is. After observing it's behavior, he comes to the understanding that the plant is the cat, reincarnated as a Stand

Shinobu notices Kira, and warns him to not go near that part of the backyard, since it's where she was hurt. Stray Cat notices her approaching, and begins to prepare an attack, causing Kira to worry that if she sees the plant talking, Jotaro will eventually come to investigate the rumor. He rushes to detonate the plant with Killer Queen, but Stray Cat nullifies it's bomb by depriving it of oxygen, and manages to land an attack on Shinobu. With Shinobu unconscious, Stray Cat knocks Killer Queen's bomb away, leading Kira to determine that he has control over air. Vowing to make sure she isn't hurt further, Kira attempts to stomp on the plant to no avail. Stray Cat shoots out another air bubble which hits a nearby cactus, sending pieces of the plant flying at high velocity.
