At the start of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira is a shy yet friendly teenager living peacefully in the Heliopolis colony. Kira is a highly skilled computer programmer who assists with research and development at the Heliopolis technical college which he attends. When the war between the Naturals and Coordinators is brought to Heliopolis, Kira takes control of the mobile suit GAT-X105 Strike to protect his friends from ZAFT, the military organization of the Coordinators, as they were attacking Heliopolis. Born as a Coordinator, Kira's advanced mental and physical skills allow him to skillfully control the Strike.
