just realized Yoshikage Kiraâs name is literally wordplay for âShadow Killerâ or âPeaceful Killerâ or however the frick youâd properly interpret it
(the kanji in âKiraâ (ăă©) is actually one letter off from âKillerâ (ăă©ăŒ), and âYoshikageâ (ćæŻ) stands for âPeacefulâ, âJusticeâ, âRighteousnessâ or âMoralityâ, if you were to split it up, âYoshiâ (ăšă·) means âGood luckâ, âgoodâ, âvirtuousâ, ârespectableâ, while âKageâ means âShadowâ (ćœ±) or âOther sideâ. AKA âKiraâ is the only entirely correct thing in his name, whilst the other half of his name is only partially correct, since he lacks righteousness or morale, virtuouality and respectability, atleast if you know his âother sideâ.)
Tl;dr:
