Yoshikage Kira

Background

Yoshikage Kira was born at some point in 1982, the son of Yoshiteru Kira and Holy Joestar-Kira. When he was 4, Yoshikage met with the Flemish Giant Rabbit Cindy, but broke two of his ribs the same day and was treated by his mother.↗↗

At some point in his adolescence, Yoshikage helped save Josefumi Kujo from a blood clot using his Killer Queen 's Sheer Heart Attack.↗↗

In the fall of 2005, Kira encountered a 13-year old Yasuho Hirose after she had been admitted to the hospital for attempting to commit suicide. Following a brief exchange between her and Holy, Kira entered Yasuho's room and apologized for his mother's behavior, while also revealing that he had stepped on Yasuho's hair clip earlier. He stated that the crystal inside was a fake, but offered to pay for it before walking out.↗↗

Kira then became a marine surgeon and during the summer of 2008, became acquainted with Ojiro Sasame. He continuously bullied Sasame questioning him as to whether surfers are "people of the sea or people of the land", stating that he "dislikes passing through the borders of things", as well as the ambiguity in Sasame's profession.↗↗

Pre-JoJolion

In 2009, while on duty, Kira accidentally stumbled over Aisho Dainenjiyama in his rock form, discovering the existence of the Rock Humans. Curious, Kira then investigated Aisho's activities, learned of the Locacaca 's existence, encountered and bullied Ojiro, and met with Josefumi Kujo shortly after. Josefumi, having a debt toward Kira and his mother for saving his life many years before, agreed to cooperate with Kira in stealing the Locacaca.↗

At some point, Kira contacted Norisuke Higashikata IV of the Higashikata family and notified him of a cure that could potentially treat the family's Rock Disease. It has been heavily implied that Kira had also briefly lived in the Higashikata family's basement as his outfit could be found in one of its rooms.↗↗↗↗↗

Kira is shown to have the bookseller's mark on his wrist, implied to be Kira himself who drew it. Josuke theorizes that Kira snuck into the Higashikata household for the "Steel Ball Run Race Complete Record", and removed the name of his sister, Kei Nijimura, from the family tree that was conspicuously printed at the end of the book.↗↗↗↗

At another point, Kira associated with Karera Sakunami, and the two took a photo together with Josefumi. She later claims that Josefumi and Kira used to live together. On one occasion, Kira somehow coaxed a drunken Ojiro to bite off and eat all of his own fingers, strangely Kira also told Ojiro about his mother's illness and the existence of the Locacaca.↗↗↗↗

On August 19, 2011 Kira and Josefumi were eventually found by Tamaki Damo and Yotsuyu Yagiyama. Tamaki proceeded to torture Kira and Josefumi, at one point cutting off Kira's liver. However, Kira secretly planted Sheer Heart Attack in the hair of a nearby Karera and lured her into wandering near their boat resulting in an explosion. Kira and Josefumi, managed to escape and he was dragged to the location of the Locacaca, having already lost consciousness.↗↗

Kira's corpse, without testicles, is later found at the site. His cause of death was diagnosed as cardiac arrest. His body was later cremated and buried at a temple according to Yasuho. Josuke and Yasuho subsequently attempt to investigate Kira, particularly due to his connections to the Higashikata family. Prior to its cremation, Yotsuyu and Tamaki investigated Kira's corpse at the morgue.↗↗↗↗

Appearance

His corpse is discovered without testicles, in contrast with Josuke's four, without a related wound.↗↗

Personality

As a teenager, he immediately jumped to the conclusion that a drowned and unconscious Josefumi was fated to die, showing exasperation when his mother prompted him to manually save the boy's life, only wishing to see Titanic in theater later and leaving the hospital alone because of it.↗↗↗

On another occasion, Kira sacrificed his life to save Josefumi when their plan to cultivate and harvest the Locacaca fruit was found out by Yotsuyu and Damo, as he believed Josefumi had no right to die since he was only involved because of Kira's own personal agenda, proving he can be a good loyal friend to those he cares for.↗↗↗↗↗
