The Kira Residence (吉良邸, Kira-tei) 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.
Found near the northern coastal area of Morioh, it is the home of the serial killer Yoshikage Kira. After he is forced to change his identity and move to another home, Josuke and the others investigate it to find clues that could guide them towards his new identity.
Description
The Kira residence is a single-story home with a sukiya-zukuri style, or a style based on the aesthetics of Japanese tea ceremonies. This includes low furniture, sliding wood doors, and natural building materials. The home is sparsely furnished, with most rooms only having one or two pieces of furniture, and very little in the way of wall decorations. Several belongings found by Josuke and the others while searching the home give insight to Kira's psychology, such as his records of his nail growth and clippings, his 3rd place trophies and awards, and a photobook full of photos where, according to Jotaro, he doesn't try to stand out. Other important possessions include a camera which Kira's deceased father Yoshihiro Kira uses to carry out his attack against Josuke and Jotaro, and another bow and arrow, which Yoshihiro later steals to create more Stand users in Morioh.
The rooms that are known to be part of the home include what appears to be an office, a kitchen, a dining room, and a bathroom. Additionally, the land houses a parking garage, and a shed, while the perimeter of the property is surrounded by 土塀. The home is found on the outskirts of the coastal area north of the Morioh Grand Hotel. This area was a popular location for samurai to build summer homes, with Kira's ancestors among them. However, after his family fell into hard times around the time of his grandfather, Kira considers the home to be the only thing left of his bloodline's former greatness.
The home is a 15 minute drive from Morioh Station.
