kira

Light Yagami's serial killer alias when using the Death Note to murder criminals.

Comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"

Bill - "So, I heard Kira killed another unjust man the other day."
Dave - "Yeah, too bad, oh well, I guess they deserve it."
Bill - "Yeah, who do you think will be next? ... Dave? ... Dave?!"
