Mind and personality

Kira Yoshikage is quite calm, quiet and very smart. He wants to have a quiet life without attracting attention. Kira is a serial killer, targeting mainly young women with attractive hands. He has a strong fetish with female hands. When he finds a possible victim, Kira follows a systematic plan in which he follows his target surreptitiously, preferring to resort to dark and rarely traveled places such as alleys. Finally, when his target reaches her house or a place with no escape or people around, he uses his Stand and with it kills his target without leaving a trace, other than one of his hands which he asks Killer Queen to leave intact so he can satisfy his fetishes. Higashikata Josuke is his main enemy. Kira constantly fears that his identity and crimes will be discovered.

Stand

All Jojo's Bizarre Adventure characters have a Stand, which is the physical manifestation of the soul of its user, in addition to his fighting spirit and psyche. A Stand user can use their Stand to fight, but has to consciously summon it. Stands can only be attacked by other Stands and if they suffer any damage it will be reflected in their User. Non-Stand users cannot see Stands. Kira Yoshikage has his own Stand called Killer Queen, it has a humanoid shape with a muscular body and pink skin. Killer Queen has gloves, a belt, a loincloth and some sandals made of leather, on its shoulders, belt and gloves there is an emblem of a skull that resembles itself. Its eyes are red with white pupils and they have a shape similar to a cat's eyes. The surface of its head is round, with two triangular tips that resemble a cat's ears. Killer Queen, like many Stands, cannot speak.

Killer Queen Abilities

Killer Queen can create deadly bombs. - First Bomb: Transmutation to explosives. Killer Queen with her hands can touch anything or even a person (but only one at a time) and turn it into a bomb, which can be activated if Kira presses his thumb on his closed hand in a gesture similar to if he were pressing the button of some detonator. The explosion does not cause noise and leaves no physical evidence and the target to be exploded disappears without leaving any trace. - Second Bomb: Sheer Heart Attack (SHA). SHA is an autonomous bomb that is kept in Killer Queen's left hand. SHA is in the shape of a small blue tank with the same skull symbol that Killer Queen possesses. SHA is blind, but tracks its targets by their body heat. The higher the heat, the bigger the explosion it will cause. - Third Bomb: Bites the Dust. Bites the Dust is a miniature version of Killer Queen that Kira can activate by inserting it into a non-Stand user. It can be activated by a specific word that works as the detonator and Kira can choose it. Once someone says or reads that word, the bomb will activate, planting the little Killer Queen in their eye and exploding the person from inside. More than one person can be affected by the bomb and once it's detonated, time will go back one hour.

Kira usually wears an office suit, which consists of a jacket and pants, a long-sleeved vertical striped shirt, and a tie embroidered with a series of the same symbol as Killer Queen's skull.

Enemies

- Higashikata Josuke (Stand: Crazy Diamond), he is a rebellious but generous and tall teenager, a descendant of the Joestar, who mostly tries to stop Kira. His Stand can deal quick hits and change the shape of anything it destroys or restore it to its original state, so he uses it to heal people, but it can't work on himself. - Nijimura Okuyasu (Stand: The Hand), He is Josuke's best friend, he is a impulsive, violent, tall and not very intelligent boy. He is Josuke's best friend. His Stand can erase the space between him and another object, so he often uses it to attract things towards him. - Hirose Koichi (Stand: Echoes Act 3), He is a short boy, also a friend of Josuke and Okuyasu. He gets nervous easily. His Stand can exert weight on a target, and the closer he is to it the greater the weight. - Kujo Jotaro (Stand: Star Platinum), He is Josuke's nephew but he is older than him. Jotaro is a marine biologist, also a Joestar descendant, of very tall stature, intelligent and very quiet. His Stand can hit faster than Josuke's and can also stop time for 5 seconds, where only he and his Stand can move, so he can easily dodge attacks or hit his enemies unexpectedly. - Kishibe Rohan (Stand: Heaven's Door), He is a mangaka who doesn't get along very well with Josuke but finds it necessary to stop Kira. He is a bit psycho and selfish. His Stand can turn the face of a target person in a book in which their lives are written completely, he can even write on the pages to change something in that person's behavior or erase memories.
