Status: Coordinator
Allegiance: Earth Alliance
Biography: A young coordinator who was on the Helipolis
satellite when it was attacked by ZAFT forces who were attempting to
steal the five Gundams built there. Due to a string of bad luck he becomes
the pilot of the remaining Gundam called Strike in the upcoming battles.
He is also the only coordinator onboard a ship full of Naturals, which
makes people suspicious. The worse thing of all is that his opponents
include his most trusted friend Athrun Zala. Rumor has it, that in certain
bad situation, his fighting skills improve and he becomes a killing
machine. Though he still considers Athrun a friend, after watching Tolle
get killed brutally by Athrun, he tries to kill him in a vicious encounter
and ends up badly injured both mentally and physically, and oddly enough
in Lacus Clyne's mansion. He also has a mechanical bird named Tori,
which was made by Athrun in their younger days. After hearing about
the upcoming operation spitbreak, Kira along with assistance from Lacus,
gains control of a new gundam called the Freedom Gundam. He arrives
in Alaska just in time to help with the evacuation of both forces when
Alaska is destroyed by the Earth Alliance. Kira and the others head
to Orb where Cagali is waiting as well as the somewhat frightening news
that Athrun is alive and well. When the Earth Alliance declares war
against Orb, Kira first engages the three new EA Gundams and though
he has a difficult time, with the unexpected help of Athrun and his
Justice Gundam, he is able to drive them off for now. Both he and Athrun
are reunited in Orb and later talk about the recent events along with
Cagali. He then participates in the evacuation and in the aftermath
of Uzumi's death, he finds out about his true relation to Cagali. Kira
accompanies Athrun on his journey back to PLANT and immediately provides
cover when Athrun, Lacus, and other ZAFT officials try to make a run
in the new ZAFT warship being chased by hordes of mobile suits sent
by Athrun's father.
