When Kira was young, he saw a picture of the Mona Lisa’s hands, in which made him obsessed with hands and started his descent into serial killing.

### Diamond Is Unbreakable

Later in life, Kira secretly became a criminal mastermind who committed many atrocities and killed many woman so he could collect their nails. Despite this, he never got detected and he managed to live a peaceful life, knowing that he is atrocious but never being discovered or admitting it.

One day came and he carried a hand inside a paperbag, and a man called Shigekiyo "Shigechi" Yangu has noticed the hand and therefore, out of suspicion, she begins to fight him. Kira however smartly defeated him by turning a coin into a bomb. Kira successfully killed him and got away with it, until Jotaro Kujo and Josuke Higashikata found the button that Shigechi had collected, and started investigating the case. When Jotaro and his ally Koichi found Kira, the madman bombed them up with a Bomb N° 2, Sheer Heart Attack. His bomb appeared to be a massive, scary vehicle with a skull face. It could track heat and was virtually invulnerable in a very strong way. He managed to kill the two heroes, but Josuke and his friend Okuyasu have found him next and they successfully unmask him.

However, in order to retreat and survive, he uses Aya Tsuji's powers and stole one of his victim's identities as he exchanged the victim's face with his own face.

He then assumes the identity of his dead victim Kosaku Kawajiri, and he goes to his family as he then attacks them. However, one of the victim's relatives called Hayato begins to suspect the madman who swaps faces, and he goes to investigate the case by himself. This leaves Yoshikage desperate to commit more horrific crimes in order to defend his own perfect life and continue his secret misdeeds. During his desperation, he gained a new power which he and his father's ghost have possessed; he set "The Bites of Dust" bomb, which could track whoever is investigating the case or suspecting him, and following this the bomb shall cause their deaths to happen in a loop which could only end if Kira decides to deactivate it on them. The bomb has an influence over Hayato since he is the bomb carrier. However, Hayato still outsmarts the madman by secretly calling Josuke on the phone and making him wake up early and arrive when Hayato confronts Kira without the madman even noticing Josuke's presence.

In order to cover up his crimes and continue committing them and living "peacefully", Kira deactivates the bomb and begins to battle against Josuke and Hayato, intending to kill them so they won't foil his plans. During the fight, he took a stray cat which Hayato has brought with him, and lets The Killer Queen bomb fuse with the cat, thus creating invisible bombs around the area. He then attempts to murder Okuyasu and this forces Hayato to deactivate the bomb, and let Josuke heal the other protagonists.

Kira was eventually able to track invisible bullets shot by the protagonists. This forced Josuke to retreat to a nearby house. Soon enough, the spirit of Yoshihiro comes out of Josuke's pocket. Josuke however manages to eliminate Yoshihiro. Josuke finally defeats Kira by using his restoration ability on glass shards stained with his blood, which home in to Kira, who had also been stained with Josuke's blood.

Finally the madman is exposed and his head is crushed by an ambulance, and in order to achieve his vengeance, he wakes up (as a ghost) and tries to activate the Bites of Dust bomb one more time. However, he finds himself in a street alley with the ghost of his first victim, a little girl named Reimi, and she confronts him and reveals to him that he has illusions and that he is now a ghost inside a ghostly alley. He at first thinks that he is in heaven living a peaceful life and being able to continue hiding his crimes from the other spirits. However, as he tries to hurt Reimi again and protect himself, out of cowardness, her dog bites him, and as she summons some hands to haunt him and take him to an endless abyss of nightmares, as he realizes that he's going to hell.
