Abstract: We prove that a crossing change along a double point circle on a $ 2$-knot is realized by ribbon-moves for a knotted torus obtained from the $ 2$-knot by attaching a $ 1$-handle. It follows that any $ 2$-knots for which the crossing change is an unknotting operation, such as ribbon $ 2$-knots and twist-spun knots, have trivial Khovanov-Jacobsson number.
