* UnwantedSpouse: '''Subverted''', believe it or not, and subverted hard. ''Kousaku'' was this, having married Shinobu only because they had a kid and then somehow surviving so many years married to her in a dead-end job. Kira, on the other hand, not only repaired the marriage between Shinobu and Kousaku by taking the latter's position, but he officially starts it by doing something so stupidly illegal in order to save himself, he charms and wins over Shinobu's heart. By the time Stray Cat happens, Shinobu is so completely in love with Kira, she's making up excuses to fling herself at him.

Immediately after, Kira begins to panic and is spontaneously pierced by the Arrow. With his new ability, "Bites the Dust", he activates a time loop that restores Hayato to life.]]

Yoshikage Kira (Stand: Killer Queen)
[[quoteright:315:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yoshikage_Kira_6772.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Click [[labelnote:here]]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kosaku.png[[/labelnote]] to see [[spoiler:him as Kosaku]]]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (TV anime), Creator/RikiyaKoyama (''All-Star Battle'')
-> Sheer Heart Attack voiced by: Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (TV anime), Creator/TsutomuKashiwakura (''All-Star Battle'')

A simple businessman and serial killer who has been secretly operating in Morioh for nearly 20 years. He targets beautiful women, and after killing and disposing of their bodies, keeps their hands, which he treats as a girlfriends, including taking them on dinner dates and buying them gifts of jewelry, until they finally rot. He first runs afoul of the heroes when he is forced to kill a student who accidentally discovers Kira's current girlfriend. A chase ensues, but Kira is clever enough to force a makeup worker to alter his face to resemble a local nobody, and gets away. The rest of ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' deals with the [=JoJo=] team searching for him.

His Stand is Killer Queen, who is able to make anything into a touch-activated bomb that leaves absolutely no evidence; this is what kept him off the police's radar. Other abilities include Sheer Heart Attack, an indestructible heat-seeking bomb on tank treads. Killer Queen's largest weakness is, apart from it being a close-range Stand, that only one Bomb can be active at a time.

His Stand and its powers are named after Music/{{Queen}} songs and albums: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_Queen Killer Queen]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheer_Heart_Attack the album Sheer Heart Attack (which houses the song)]].



* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* ExtremeDoormat: From what we hear of him.
* InnocentBystander: He got the bad luck of crossing paths with [[spoiler:Kira]] while in Aya's workplace.
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler: By possibly ''seconds'', but by the time he appears on-panel, he's already dead, and Kira has taken his face and fingerprints.]]

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She is the only named character who didn't know about [[spoiler:the murder of her husband and posthumous use as a disguise for Kira]].

! Kai Harada
-> Voiced by: Bucky Koba (TV anime)

Morioh's radio DJ. Apparently Okuyasu and Kira are fans, as they've both written into his program.
-----
* CanonForeigner: He's original to the anime, and doesn't appear in the source material or any other adaptations. As a result, it's unclear whether he's friend or foe, or just how much about what's going on he actually knows...
* CozyVoiceForCatastrophes: Provides a calm, relaxing voice against all the sinister things happening in Morioh.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A lot of what he says hints at future Stand users the heroes will fight.
* TheVoice: While several "Diamond is Unbreakable" episodes have opened with snippets of his program, Harada himself hasn't been seen on camera yet.

[[spoiler: 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. As it not only prevents Hayato from ever telling anybody about Kira in any way; but it also resets time to before Kira killed Hayato.]]
