Create a new footprint and draw this as a pin. There are plenty of options for the pin shape in Kicad.

Thank you. I cannot use a rectangle, as you can see, the shape is not closed.
Edit: I tried but I am not able to create a shape like the one in the image. I can only create a rounded rectangle footprint.

but your drawing is just a rounded rectangle, it just shows the trace connecting to it
