Karera Sakunami

Background

Not much is known about Karera's youth. It is known that Karera is not keeping contact with her family and is uninterested in doing so, meaning she may have had some bad history with them.↗

Karera becomes an agricultural student at T Academy, frequenting the same college as Josefumi Kujo. She develops a crush on Josefumi and begins to stalk him. Although she shares a photo with Josefumi and Yoshikage Kira, Karera never formally met them.↗↗↗

Karera claims to Josuke that Josefumi was living in Kira’s apartment and that Kira disposed of several Locacaca trees while hiding a single potted tree in his kitchen. However, it's unclear if Karera was being deceptive or if this was later changed, as Josefumi and Kira only stole two branches of the Locacaca, grafting them onto a tree near the Wall Eyes. She also claims that she made out with Josefumi before, but then questions whether they actually did.↗↗↗

On August 19, 2011, Karera rests at Morioh 's harbor, presumably waiting for Josefumi, when Josefumi and Kira are attacked by Tamaki Damo and Yotsuyu Yagiyama. Kira secretly plants Sheer Heart Attack in her hair and lures her into wandering near his boat so that Yotsuyu would approach her. Sheer Heart Attack's explosion creates a diversion so Kira and Josefumi could escape. Karera also escapes unharmed but has to hide for six months, pursued by the A. Phex Brothers.↗

Karera is introduced in the story as a mysterious woman who lures Josuke into a back alley, having mistaken him for Josefumi. She is revealed to have some familiarity with Yoshikage Kira and Josuke's other half. She's eventually convinced that Josuke was the one she mistook him for after he uses his Stand to obtain her name through the card in her back pocket wallet.↗

Later, she and Josuke go to a cafe in downtown Morioh where she shoves nearly an entire container of cane sugar into a plastic bag, before eating bread with tallow, sugar, and soy sauce. She offers it to Josuke claiming it tastes like sukiyaki. After she cleans the spaces between her toes with a wet napkin, she walks into the bathroom with an older man. Josuke follows them, barging through one of the stalls to find Karera growing the older man's hair.↗↗

Outside the cafe, Karera shows Josuke a photo of herself standing with Yoshikage Kira and another young man who she calls Josefumi Kujo, allowing Josuke to learn the real name of one of his former halves. She then uses her Stand to steal an ATM card belonging to one of the men she yelled at. She later uses her Stand to get the number of the ATM and steal money to 'treat' Josuke, when in reality she goes shopping to buy various items including a laptop for her dream to become a fashion designer.↗↗

Afterward, they walk down the road to Kira's place. Josuke tells her that Kira is dead, causing her to break down under the assumption that he was murdered. She reveals to him that Kira owned a Locacaca Tree in addition of disposing of several more. Josuke then suddenly spots one of the A. Phex Brothers and asks if she knows him, which she denies. Shortly after, she is lit aflame by the older brother's ability and extinguished by Soft & Wet before later fleeing.↗↗

However, Karera returns soon after. She sneakily uses her Stand to light the older of the twins on fire and the two are killed quickly afterward. Following their defeat, she tells Josuke that she likes him, and she will be sticking around Morioh for a while longer. She reveals that she can tell he made an " equivalent exchange " with Kira, and then, after mentioning that they will see each other again at some unknown time in the future, she leaves him without another word about the situation.↗↗
