Japanese[edit]

Kira is part of the Japanese language with the meaning of "killer" which is taken from the English language.

It is mainly used in the Japanese Anime called 'Death Note'. Light Yagami or Kira finds a 'Death Note' which fell from a shinigami, or God of death.He uses it to kill villins for all of the wrong they have done. Soon after he has killed many, he anonymously gets the name 'Kira'.

'Kira' in Japan is what they take from the eniglish word "Kill". But it means the same thing in both languages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.186.88 (talk) 04:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stage names section[edit]

I find it curious that the Belgian and German Kiras have been given links to "real name" entries that don't exist yet. I feel that entries under "Natasja de Witte" and "Janine Scholz" would not be able to give much information that isn't already available under their respective Kira entries. It would be like creating a separate entry for, say, Frances Gumm even though an already-existing entry for her under "Judy Garland" more than suffices. Besides, I think that the two Kiras' work as musicians is more notable from a Wikipedia standpoint than what they do as private individuals. Musicbear180 (talk) 18:13, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kira (given name)[edit]

Almost all entries under the People section are duplicated at Kira (given name) (which actually includes many more). Seems like the section here should just be a link there. --Theodore Kloba (talk) 14:51, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is a link, but the main Kira dab should only list ones that go by mononyms.. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:01, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@AngusWOOF: Thanks for making the edit. Let's see how long it lasts before a fresh batch of polynyms appears. It seems like some editors weren't "getting" the {{solename}} hatnote. --Theodore Kloba (talk) 19:52, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
