**Kira Ga-Yoon Yukimura** is a recurring character in Season 3 and a main character in Season 4 and Season 5 of MTV's *Teen Wolf*. She is the daughter of the human history teacher Ken Yukimura, 900-year-old Celestial Kitsune Noshiko Yukimura, and the adoptive sister to Josie Yukimura. Kira's parents moved to Beacon Hills, California in the fall of 2011, where she enrolled at Beacon Hills High School. Unbeknownst to Kira at the time, her family really moved to Beacon Hills so that Athena Beaumont could kill a powerful Nogitsune that she summoned in 1943 with the help of her mother, who had been released from its mystical prison several weeks before their arrival.

Kira soon discovers that she, too, is a Kitsune—specifically a Thunder Kitsune, one with control over both electricity and foxfire—when her supernatural abilities began to manifest just before their move. It didn't take long before Kira was thrust into the supernatural world of Beacon Hills, where she helped the McCall Pack defeat the Nogitsune without having to kill her friend Stiles Stilinski. Kira slowly began to learn control over her abilities while continuing to fight both human and supernatural enemies alongside her friends. She was in a romantic relationship with Scott McCall and is best friends with Adella McCall, Hayley Hale, Malia Tate, and Lydia Martin.

At the beginning of Season 5, the Dread Doctors performed a procedure on Kira with a lightning rod, causing her Kitsune powers and spirit to become overpowered and putting her Fox side and her Human side out of balance. Her inner Fox spirit then began taking control of Kira periodically, to the point where she even killed a Chimera in a fugue state, causing Kira to struggle to maintain a grip on the Kitsune spirit inside of her.

This led Noshiko, who was desperate to save her daughter's life, to bring Kira to Shiprock, New Mexico to meet with a trio of Skinwalkers who had experience with these issues. Though Kira initially spurned their help after failing their test, Kira ultimately returned to Shiprock after helping the pack deal with the Beast of Gevaudan so that she can train and finally learn control over her abilities with the Skinwalkers' help, telling Scott that she was willing to stay there as long as it takes for her to master her Kitsune abilities and ensure that she'll never hurt an innocent person again. As of the end of Season 6, Kira is still presumably training with the Skinwalkers in New Mexico.

**Kira** is a member of the **Yukimura Family** and was a member of the **McCall Pack**. She is currently a student of **the Skinwalkers** in **Shiprock, New Mexico** and was formerly a student at **Beacon Hills High School**. She has ties to **The Original Family**.
