Kira Yamato
Allegiance: Earth Alliance
Age:
16
Status: Coordinator
Pilots: Strike Gundam
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 (Nataru) and hated
by those who have decided to use him as a puppet to their own ends (Frey Alester). 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. He then finds out that Barfelt is alive and has a
sad reunion with Lacus who tells him of her father's death (in a way reversing the positions of episode 32). |
