Personality:

Usually smiling no matter what the situation is unless her family is in trouble. Because of her smile no one is really able to tell what is on her mind, always makes the customers of her family’s restaurant comfortable and welcomed.

Kira is also in love with her adopted sister, but knowing it is taboo for females to like other females and the fact they have been family all her life, Kira swore to protect her sister no matter what and be her personal guardian.

Background:

Her biological father was killed during the war. Hearing of her father’s death, Kira’s mother died of heart failure. A man adopted Kira when no one else wanted to take her in since they already had a child. Kira was raised along with her adopted sister learning to run the family restaurant and martial arts. Her family made their restaurant a neutral zone allowing soldiers to eat there no matter whose side they were on.

Education and Fight Style:

Her adopted father being half Japanese and half Chinese, both Kira and her adopted sister, Keiko, learned the various styles of Kung Fu. Kira focused more on the monkey style due to her flexibility and ability to fight both standing and on the ground really well. While Keiko was learning how to take over the family business, Kira’s adopted father taught her how to fight with a sword like any other samurai.

She does not have a particular sword style since she rarely uses her sword. Kira will avoid shedding blood at all costs not wanting to relive the injuries she saw from the warriors who came into the restaurant wanting peace as they ate. Instead she fights mainly with her staff that her adopted father gave her that way she always had a weapon on her without drawing lots of attention to her.

Kira and Keiko know Chinese along with Japanese because of their father.

Extra Facts

Celebrates Lunar New Year and is Buddhist. Kira is Buddhist because she believes in the Eight Fold Path to Enlightenment; that is also the reason for why she fights mainly with her Bo Staff instead of her sword.
