However, if he doesn't have any other choice, he will instantly try to kill whoever discovers his true nature. Since Kira doesn't want to be noticed, he will try everything to solve his problems without facing anyone directly. Kira slamming Koichi's face into the pavementĪpart from his murders, Kira is particularly violent when someone threatens his way of life or publicly humiliates him. Moreover, Kira has expressed various other similarly violent impulses such as the desire to choke his victims to death and has horribly scarred at least Reimi Sugimoto. Due to his Stand leaving absolutely no trace of their victim behind, these murders are actually reported as missing persons. Kira is an opportunistic killer, his modus operandi being spotting a potential victim, following her to her house, and murdering her when both are isolated. When one "girlfriend" begins to decay, he disposes of it and goes off in search of a replacement. This results in murdering random women, not caring in the least how they look or behave, in order to acquire their (severed) hands as "girlfriends," acting as if the severed hands were actually sentient and conversing with them, even offering them various gifts.

Although he is highly intelligent and possesses many talents, this yearning shows in his dislike of coming in first, and Jotaro theorizes from his many trophies that he even made it a point to never rank better than 3rd in any competition so as not to stand out. Whenever that life seems assured, Kira adopts a jolly and confident demeanor. Kira longs for a peaceful and quiet life, safe from any worry, and does not wish for it to be interrupted.
