All-Star Battle R ★ Yoshikage Kira
Yoshikage Kira (吉良 吉影, Kira Yoshikage) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He is also part of the game's current demo alongside Joseph Joestar, Jolyne Cujoh, Jotaro Kujo, and DIO.
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
In the English localization of the game, the name of Kira's Stand, Killer Queen, is localized as "Deadly Queen", the same name used in the original All-Star Battle. Killer Queen's second bomb, Sheer Heart Attack, is also localized as "Heart Attack", as it was in All-Star Battle.
Toshiyuki Morikawa reprises his role from the Diamond is Unbreakable anime, replacing Rikiya Koyama. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Kira were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Kira has 950 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Killer Queen, dynamically changing his moveset in the process.
This section requires expansion.

Sheer Heart Attack can be temporarily slowed by Koichi Hirose specifically, if the latter uses his HHA on it, which will also subsequently affect Kira himself. SHA continues to be unblockable and able to hit Koichi if he makes contact, but will remain sluggish and unable to leap into the air until Koichi gets a certain distance away from it, successfully gets around it, or hits Kira to nullify the bomb altogether.
Attack type: Unblockable
Damage: 342 / 410 / 513 (depending on HH gauge)

Moveset Changes from All-Star Battle
- Light (: The coin is not flicked as far as it was in All-Star Battle and does not travel as far forward when it hits the ground.
- Heavy (): The coin is flicked slightly farther than it was in All-Star Battle and travels farther along the ground, resulting in it having more range.
If Kira is hit with the explosion from this skill, he will no longer be launched away from the explosion, instead only suffering the damage.
- Light (): The startup on this variant is much faster than it was in All-Star Battle.
- Medium (): This variant no longer has both Killer Queen and Kira moving forward; instead, only Killer Queen moves forward. It then returns to its original position after it finishes its attack.
- Heavy (): This variant is no longer Unblockable; instead, it is now a High. As a trade off, Killer Queen now moves even farther forward than it does for the variant.
Sheer Heart Attack can no longer be slowed down by Koichi Hirose's "S-H-I-T" skill as ACT3's punch barrage no longer touches the floor and therefore cannot reach SHA.

- When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Kira grips his left wrist with gritted teeth, as he does when greeting his coworkers after cutting off his own hand.[4]
