His first victim was Reimi Sugimoto, who he killed, causing her ghost to haunt the Ghost Ally in Morioh. Years later, he would be discovered as a Stand User by Josuke Higashikata and his allies, and he would be tracked down and defeated.

Stand[]
Killer Queen[]
Killer Queen is Kira's Stand, that he awakened after his father inherited the Stand Arrow and used it on his son so that he may protect himself. Killer Queen allows Kira to turn a bomb into pretty much anything. He has three distinct bomb types, as well as an additional ability when he combines forces with the Stand Stray Cat.
- Bomb Transmutation (first-type bomb): Killer Queen may charge any object, inanimate or not, as a bomb simply by touching it. Once a target has touched the object, Killer Queen can detonate the target by pressing its right thumb onto a trigger located on its index fingers middle phalanx, imitating the action of pressing down on a handheld detonator. If someone else touches the charged target before Kira can detonate it, they will automatically be blown up instead, consuming the charge. This can also be done through direct contact with Killer Queen or Kira himself, skipping the charging process.
- Bomb Air Transmutation: During the final battle, Kira places Stray Cat in Killer Queen's hollow abdomen. With Killer Queen's Primary Bomb charging Stray Cat's condensed air bubbles, Kira may create virtually invisible air bombs to use as projectiles. These can be detonated automatically through contact or manually through Killer Queen's switch. Although he also cannot see these bombs, Kira is skilled in determining their trajectory using basic mathematical skills; additionally, Yoshihiro Kira can verbally help him direct his aim by flitting about the battlefield in his photograph form.
- Sheer Heart Attack (2nd-type bomb): This treaded automatic bomb detaches from Killer Queen's left hand, so any Stand abilities activated upon it are reflected onto Kira's left hand. Because Sheer Heart Attack is attached to Kira's left hand, the primary bomb can still be used when Sheer Heart Attack is active.
- Bites the Dust (3rd type-bomb): Kira is granted this ability when Yoshihiro Kira's Stand-creating Arrow pierces him a second time. It is born from Kira's desire to prevent anyone from knowing his true identity, as well as his desperation following his impulsive murder of Hayato Kawajiri. Many fans debate if Bites The Dust is considered a Requiem Stand, as it shares the same characteristics.
Age[]
Kira is 33 during Part 4.
