==Introduction==
Intent with preserving his quiet lifestyle at all costs, Yoshikage Kira, the main antagonist of the fourth part of ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'', ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', steals the identity of the man named Kosaku Kawajiri with the goal of concealing his own. While inheriting Killer Queen from [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Yoshikage Kira|his previous form]], Kosaku is a very different character despite the similarities; he is a sluggish powerhouse capable of dealing some of the highest damage in the game, with a strong emphasis on guard breaking his opponents into explosive combos. Both Stand-Off and Stand-On give him a toolbox of options to work with, Stand-On being the scarier one of the two as this is where his Guard Breaks will usually be coming from. With all of this together, Kosaku is one of the most terrifying characters in ASBR, blowing his opponent to smithereens for making even the smallest mistake against him.
:''This article is about Yoshikage Kira's second incarnation, primarily known as "Kosaku". For information about his original incarnation, see [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Yoshikage Kira|Yoshikage Kira]].''
Kosaku Kawajiri is a character in the fourth part of ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'', ''Diamond is Unbreakable''. Intent with preserving his quiet lifestyle at all costs, Yoshikage Kira (the main antagonist of the part) steals the identity of this man with the goal of concealing his own.


*'''Only one bomb at a time''': If bomb-related special moves are used in succession, the previous bomb will be nullified, leaving Kosaku capable of having only one bomb out at any given time.
While inheriting Killer Queen from his previous form, Kosaku is a very different character despite the similarities; he is a sluggish powerhouse capable of dealing some of the highest damage in the game, with a strong emphasis on inflicting Guard Breaks to his opponents that lead into explosive combos. Both Stand Off and Stand On give him a toolbox of options to work with, with the latter being the scarier one of the two as this is where his Guard Breaks will usually be coming from. With all of this together, Kosaku is one of the most terrifying characters in the game, blowing his opponent to smithereens for making even the smallest mistake against him.
*'''Air Bomb Cushion''': While in Stand On, Kosaku has access to a pushblock for the cost of 0.5 HH Gauge.
 
*'''Only one bomb at a time''': If bomb-related special moves are used in succession, the previous bomb will be nullified. In addition, the explosions generated by Kosaku's special moves can damage (and kill) him.

* '''Catastrophic Damage:''' Kosaku boasts some of the highest damage in the game, being able to pump out touch of death combos with very few resources.
* '''Catastrophic Damage:''' Kosaku boasts some of the highest damage in the game, being able to pump out touch of death combos off of nearly any starter.
* '''Guard Gauge Destroyer:''' Kosaku also has some of the highest Guard Damage in the game with his "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Stand 214X|Contact Bomb]]". When combined with his dangerous frame traps that cannot reacted to with Stylish Guard, this makes blocking against him a massive risk, as his air bubbles will melt through the opponent's Guard Gauge.
* '''Guard Gauge Destroyer:''' Kosaku also has some of the highest Guard Damage in the game with his "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Stand 214X|Contact Bomb]]". This allows him to melt through the opponent's Guard Gauge and threaten with his dangerous strike/throw game, as even the tiniest gap he allows will end up in an unreactable mix-up.
* '''Okizeme:''' Kosaku can easily score hard knockdowns off of the moves "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Stand 3M|I'll crush you!]]" and his [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Throw|Forward Throw]]. When combined with "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#214X|Impact Ignition Bomb]]" or "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Stand 214X|Contact Bomb]]" afterwards, he gains formidable okizeme that is good for stopping Stylish Guard.
* '''Okizeme:''' Kosaku can easily score hard knockdowns off of moves such as [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#2H|2H]], [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Stand 3M|s.3M]], and his [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Throw|Forward Throw]]. From these options, he has a diverse set of tools to work with for formidable okizeme such as [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#JL|j.L]], "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#214X|Impact Ignition Bomb]]", and "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Stand 214X|Contact Bomb]]".

* '''Self-Damage:''' Kosaku's explosions can damage and kill him, making using certain moves at specific ranges or performing certain routes at low health very risky. Opponents can take advantage of this as well, as they can also combo Kosaku from his own explosives.
* '''Self-Damage:''' Kosaku's explosions can damage and kill him, which makes using certain moves at specific ranges or performing certain routes very risky when Kosaku is at low health. Opponents can take advantage of this as well, as they can also combo Kosaku from his own explosives.
* '''Meterless Anti-Airs:''' Kosaku lacks any real meterless anti-airs, making jump-ins against him rather effective as HHA and GHA can always be baited. His air-to-air game is also rather weak, as he has very low hitstun on his aerials, leaving him minus in most cases.

His air-to-air game is also rather weak, as he has very low hitstun on his aerials, leaving him minus in most cases.
* '''Neutral:''' Kosaku's neutral is rather poor as he has very slow movement and lackluster projectiles. This leaves him highly susceptible to zoning which he struggles to deal with.

Introduction

This article is about Yoshikage Kira's second incarnation, primarily known as "Kosaku". For information about his original incarnation, see Yoshikage Kira.

Kosaku Kawajiri is a character in the fourth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable. Intent with preserving his quiet lifestyle at all costs, Yoshikage Kira (the main antagonist of the part) steals the identity of this man with the goal of concealing his own.

While inheriting Killer Queen from his previous form, Kosaku is a very different character despite the similarities; he is a sluggish powerhouse capable of dealing some of the highest damage in the game, with a strong emphasis on inflicting Guard Breaks to his opponents that lead into explosive combos. Both Stand Off and Stand On give him a toolbox of options to work with, with the latter being the scarier one of the two as this is where his Guard Breaks will usually be coming from. With all of this together, Kosaku is one of the most terrifying characters in the game, blowing his opponent to smithereens for making even the smallest mistake against him.

  • Only one bomb at a time: If bomb-related special moves are used in succession, the previous bomb will be nullified. In addition, the explosions generated by Kosaku's special moves can damage (and kill) him.
  • Air Bomb Cushion: While in Stand On, Kosaku has access to a pushblock for the cost of 0.5 HH Gauge.
Playstyle
JJASBR Kosaku Small Icon.png Kosaku Kawajiri is a Stand character that boasts explosive damage and devastating Guard Damage.
Pros Cons
  • Catastrophic Damage: Kosaku boasts some of the highest damage in the game, being able to pump out touch of death combos off of nearly any starter.
  • Guard Gauge Destroyer: Kosaku also has some of the highest Guard Damage in the game with his "Contact Bomb". This allows him to melt through the opponent's Guard Gauge and threaten with his dangerous strike/throw game, as even the tiniest gap he allows will end up in an unreactable mix-up.
  • Okizeme: Kosaku can easily score hard knockdowns off of moves such as 2H, s.3M, and his Forward Throw. From these options, he has a diverse set of tools to work with for formidable okizeme such as j.L, "Impact Ignition Bomb", and "Contact Bomb".
  • Self-Damage: Kosaku's explosions can damage and kill him, which makes using certain moves at specific ranges or performing certain routes very risky when Kosaku is at low health. Opponents can take advantage of this as well, as they can also combo Kosaku from his own explosives.
  • Meterless Anti-Airs: Kosaku lacks any real meterless anti-airs, making jump-ins against him rather effective as HHA and GHA can always be baited. His air-to-air game is also rather weak, as he has very low hitstun on his aerials, leaving him minus in most cases.
  • Neutral: Kosaku's neutral is rather poor as he has very slow movement and lackluster projectiles. This leaves him highly susceptible to zoning, which he struggles to deal with.

With his math skills, Kosaku alters the trajectory of an in-flight Impact Ignition Bomb.

  • Bubbles that have their trajectory changed will move towards the opponent; the movement pattern is determined by the bubble's own path.
  • Changing a bubble's trajectory decreases its size, but increases its speed slightly.
  • Can be used up to three times before the bubble is locked on to its current trajectory.
  • Can be cancelled into special moves, except into itself.
    • If canceled into "I'll have to fight it out!", the bubble will still remain on-screen while Kosaku is free to move.
