## Biography

### Childhood

###### Life In Japan

Kira was born in Yokosuka, Japan, on August 6, 2004. She was named after Hollywood actress Katherine Hepburn by her father, Christopher, an American marine who was stationed at United States Fleet Activities Yokosuka, where he met her mother. At an early age, she learned how to speak English as well as embrace American culture, courtesy of her father. The latter, much to her mother's chagrin.

Growing up as a military brat, Kira only had a few friends growing up. One of those friends was named Akira Suzuki, a boy who lived near the naval base. The two would occasionally hang out with each other, especially at the Japanese battleship *Mikasa* after school hours. Soon, Kira developed a crush on Suzuki and occasionally wrote letters to him.

However, this love for Suzuki won't last forever. It wasn't any bad blood between them. It was something else entirely. On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake impacted the Tohoku Region of Japan, triggering a tsunami and resulting in the deaths of nearly 20,000 people.

The earthquake didn't impact Yokosuka as much as the other cities affected, as the epicenter was located farther northeast of the Oshika Peninsula in the Pacific Ocean. Despite this, it caused fear for her and her mother, as well as many others at the naval base. An aftershock in April of that year did not help with the current mood going on at that time.

As a result, Kira and her mother decided to move to the United States, while her father stayed to assist with the rescue efforts. Before Kira left, Akira gave her a violin that she kept for the rest of her life. She waved goodbye to Japan as the plane she and her mother were aboard was flying to Los Angeles.

###### Life in California

Kira and her mother would settle in Westminster, her father's hometown. Kira's first friend in California was a girl named Lillian Smith. She would also make friends with another girl named Alexa Hopper. Together, the three girls would have many adventures in their town.
