Kira 2

Kira is Barbie's original Asian American/Pacific Islander American friend, starting from the 1980s.

My friend was named after Kira Nerys from Star Trek.

"Kira" is also a title given to Light Yagami, a character from The Death Note by his followers. It became very famous in pop culture thanks to the line "Justice of Kira".

Kira is the name Light Yagami gave himself in the anime "Death Note" because "Kira" sounds like "killer" in Japanese. Kira also means "light."

Kira Kosarin is an American actress. She is known for her role as Phoebe Thunderman in the Nickelodeon series, The Thundermans. Kosarin danced and studied ballet at Boca Ballet Theatre and attended middle school at Pine Crest School. Her parents were Broadway performers, her mother as an actress and her father as a music director, conductor and record producer, so she grew up acting, singing and dancing. After attending an "acting on camera" workshop, she fell in love with television acting and decided to move to Los Angeles, California in 2011 to pursue a career in television.
