Kira Yamato

Kira Yamato is the main protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and the second half of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Once a student at Heliopolis, he is caught in a ZAFT raid and ends up piloting the Strike Gundam. After joining the Archangel crew with his classmates, he shows considerable prowess over the course of countless battles. While he first fights against his childhood friend, Athrun Zala, the two split off to fight together to end the war. Using the Freedom Gundam, Kira puts an end to Rau Le Creuset's plans to bring about the end the world and ends the war.

Years after, Kira settled down in Orb. When ZAFT tried to assassinate Lacus Clyne, Kira returned to the fighting in the Strike Freedom Gundam and fights once again for the Archangel. As an independent force, Kira's supreme combat skills take down countless Earth Alliance and ZAFT Mobile Suits alike, then stops Gilbert Durandal's Destiny Plan by destroying the space fortress Messiah. After the war, he reconciles with Shinn Asuka.
