Kosaku met Shinobu in community college, although he went to a higher ranking college than her in the same area. She dated him because it made her feel superior to her friends, who thought Kosaku was cool and quiet. At some point she became pregnant with Hayato, obligating them to get married. [3] Diamond is Unbreakable

Psycho Pink: Killer Queen is often colored pale pink which adds to its unsettling appearance appropriate for a murderer's stand. Pet the Dog: After dealing with Stray Cat, he remains at home to make sure Shinobu is okay even if it meant that he would be late for work. Given Kira's obsession with not wanting to stand out, which includes being late for work, that's saying something. Spoiled Brat: Of a more sinister sort. His parents doted on him heavily, which is implied to have led to his sense of entitlement to a peaceful life. His father Yoshihiro continues to dote on him post-mortem thanks to his Stand "Atom Heart Father", creating Stand users to try to indirectly kill anyone who disturbs his murderous son's "peaceful" life. Slipping out undetected, Kira begins to walk home in pride. However, Harvest alerts Shigechi of the "thief" and meets up with Kira, angrily asking what a stranger is doing with his lunch bag. When Kira attempts to bluff his way out, Shigechi uses Harvest to pull on the bag, ripping it open and allowing the hand to fall out. [3] With the evidence revealed, Kira reveals his Stand, Killer Queen; threatening to erase Shigechi. Shigechi snatches a suspicious 100 yen coin from him, which Kira reveals to have become a bomb with Killer Queen's power and detonates the coin right by his opponent's face. [4]Abusive Parents: Played with in regards to Hayato, as he isn't actually Hayato's father, but just posing as him. This didn't prevent Kira from killing him, and later planting Bites the Dust on him.

Kira leaves the school, unaware that a Harvest had managed to grab and take off one of the buttons of his coat. This Harvest drone manages to present the button to Josuke and Okuyasu before exploding, alerting the heroes of Shigechi's demise. Bad Powers, Bad People: Killer Queen's ability kills people instantly with explosions that leave no trace of their remains; it would be of very limited utility to anyone who wasn't a Serial Killer. Personality Powers: The abilities of Kira's Stand seems to be born out of his will to leave absolutely no evidence behind, hence the fiery explosions, with its gladiator garb and physique reflecting his obsession with physical fitness. Kira's 3rd manifestation of his Stand power Bites the Dust is born from his sheer desperation to not get caught after killing Hayato when he lost his temper. It not only prevents Hayato from ever telling anybody about Kira in any way and kills anyone chasing Kira's old identity, but it also resets time to before Kira killed Hayato. Asset use permission in mods/files that are being sold You are not allowed to use assets from this file in any mods/files that are being sold, for money, on Steam Workshop or other platforms The Sociopath: Despite his Affably Evil nature, Kira stands out as one of the more depraved villains in the series. The ways he murders his victims are anything but pretty, his paranoia is off the charts, and he proves to be a physically and mentally abusive parent. Worst of all, he has no justification for his crimes. He knows murder is bad, but he brushes it off as an addi ction.Touch of Death: One touch from Killer Queen means you are already dead since you've already become a bomb. The only defenses against this ability is that Kira can only make one bomb at a time and that Killer Queen can't directly turn Stands into bombs. O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Often acts very calmly and careful, even under pressure. However, upon gaining Bites the Dust, he becomes noticeably more confident, to the point of feeling invincible. According to his father's observations, this attitude is apparently very unlike Kira. Makes it all the more fitting that this newfound overconfidence is the main reason Kira eventually gets caught. A rather disgusting character tic of his is that, whenever he's at his most stressed and desperate, he tends to bite his fingernails until they bleed. The manga takes it even further - a close-up shows that he gnawed the kanji for "victory" into his nails.

While both embody Dark Is Evil, the two have different aesthetics. Killer Queen has a predatory feline and skull motifs while King Crimson has a demonic undertone to its design. Kira: DON'T EVER ANSWER A QUESTION WITH A QUESTION! YOU DID LEARN PROPER ETIQUETTE WHILE YOU WERE IN SCHOOL, NOW DIDN'T YOU?! I'M ASKING YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOUR NAME IS! Impoverished Patrician: Kira mentions that he's descended from one of the Samurai noble families that used to live in Morioh, until his grandfather squandered the family wealth and honor. Unusually for the trope, Kira doesn't seem to mind this much at all, and is just pleased he inherited a nice house in which to live out his quiet, pleasant serial killer lifestyle. Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Subverted with his father. Yoshikage doesn't seem to regard much of his father's advice and doesn't spare much thought after he accidentally kills his father. But it's played surprisingly straight with Shinobu, even going out of his way to protect her from Stray Cat and showing concern for her safety. However, he doesn't deny Hayato's claim that he'll eventually kill her. The character of Yoshikage Kira was the focus of a collaborative photoshoot with the fashion magazine UOMO featuring Japanese model Dean Fujioka, who made an impression of the character.Inconsistent Spelling: Official art books and the like commonly list his name as "Yoshikage Kill·A". All-Star Battle plays with this by naming Kosaku Kawajiri's theme "KILL-A". Straight Edge Evil: Kira fits most of the criteria. He adopts a self-disciplined and temperate lifestyle: he doesn't smoke, only drinks occasionally, and takes great effort in ensuring that he remains physically fit. The only "vice" in his life is his sexual urges, particularly his hand fetish, which in turn drives his compulsion to kill. Kira's TV anime voice actor, Toshiyuki Morikawa, also voices Diavolo in the Bandai Namco video games. While The World has its time-based powers from the beginning, Killer Queen only gains its final power as a miraculous solution to solve Kira's current dilemma.

Clark Kent Outfit: Looks pretty unremarkable with an ordinary salaryman-like appearance underneath his suit. But as seen in the shower as Kosaku, he's shown to be surprisingly ripped underneath. Then again, he did say that he ensures that he's always in good health. Cold Ham: Even more so than the other JoJo Big Bads, his villain speeches are spoken in a smooth, conversational tone.Conversion permission You are not allowed to convert this file to work on other games under any circumstances Graceful Loser: Upon realizing he's dead in the manga, Kira doesn't seem too bothered by it. He even says that he might be content living his life as a ghost. Unfortunately for him, Reimi makes sure he won't get off that easy. Every humanoid type Stand in the anime has a sound effect for it being summoned and de-summoned, which is normally a sort of magical hum. Killer Queen's, on the other hand, sounds like a warped and pitched-down shriek, which, given its user's habits, fits perfectly.
