History Characters / JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusadersTheJoestarGroup

* GoodIsNotSoft: While undoubtedly heroic men who are fighting for a noble cause and do not go out of their way to cause trouble, they will have no qualms about killing their opponent to end a fight.

* TrueCompanions: In a trip that only lasted a mere fifty days, this group of people became quite tight nit and developed a deep level of care and respect for one another, the memories they made are so strong that the trip is remembered fondly years after it concluded.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Subverted. Even years after Part 3 ends, Jotaro [[spoiler: and Polnareff]] are shown to have their minds on that trip to Egypt and the friends that made up the group.

* WeakButSkilled: Four out of the six stand users fall into this territory: Hermit Purple, Hierophant Green, Silver Chariot, and The Fool aren't the most powerful Stands around in terms of raw power, but their users manage to get a lot out of them through precision, skill, and creativity. Magician's Red and Star Platinum, who both fall into StrongAndSkilled, are the exceptions.

* SmartPeopleShoot: Hierophant Green is a long-range Stand, and in fact the first one such Stand in the franchise, lacking in power, but is extremely flexible, can possess people, and has ranged attacks. Kakyoin himself is extremely smart, [[ChildProdigy from a young age]], and managed to outsmart some of the most dangerous Stand Users seen, and is the only character who [[spoiler:found out The World's true power, and even got to share that info to Joseph with a LastBreathBullet before dying]].%%and Hol Horse doesn't count here?

* ShoutOut: He's named after Music/IggyPop, and his Stand is called [[Music/TheIdiot The Fool]].

* AdaptationExpansion: ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak]]'' goes deeper into his backstory. [[spoiler:Before the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'', he, his nuclear family, and his extended family had all gone on vacation to Egypt, where DIO was taking shelter at. His younger cousin, Ryoko, had gotten herself lost on the streets in the dead of night, provoking Kakyoin to go looking for her, until she found herself cornered by DIO. As it turned out, DIO had his sights set on Kakyoin, since him being from [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Morioh]] put him in close proximity to Jotaro, who DIO was looking to take out as soon as possible, and he had [[GambitRoulette placed his bets on Ryoko getting lost and Kakyoin looking for her]]. Upon trying to defend Ryoko, Kakyoin suddenly had a flesh bud launched into his forehead, provoking his plot relevance in Part 3, and Ryoko personally [[ItsAllMyFault blames herself for Kakyoin's death because she had gotten lost]], while the rest of his family is trying their absolute hardest to move on after hearing he had been killed by DIO.]] However, this is at odds with Kakyoin's own flashback of that day, where he was explicitly seduced by DIO's words and the prospect of friendship with no mention of a cousin, bordering on {{retcon}} territory if it had been official.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has scars across his eyes, product of being attacked by N'Doul. After his eyesight is mostly recovered, he also starts to wear sunglasses, to protect his eyes from light.

* MrExposition: Knows a lot about Stands and the places that the Joestar Group goes to, including the beggar culture of Egypt.

* FireForgedFriends: Jotaro, Avdol, Kakyoin, Polnareff and Iggy all have to go through some sort of conflict together before they really start to bond with one another, but once they do, it's the beginning of a friendship they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

* FireForgedFriends: Avdol, Kakyoin, Polnareff and Iggy all have to go through some sort of conflict together before they really start to bond with one another, but once they do, it's the beginning of a friendship they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

* WeakButSkilled: Four out of the six stand users fall into this territory[[note]]The Fool and Hermit Purple frequently display use that isn't for direct combat, despite having some combat ability, and while Silver Chariot and Hierophant Green have good offensive abilities, neither are particularly strong or durable[[/note]] with the exception of Magician's Red and Star Platinum, who both fall into StrongAndSkilled.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Official translations spell his name as either Muhammed or Muhammad Avdol, but according to the way his name is written in the original Japanese (モハメド・アヴドゥル ''Mohamedo Avuduru''), it's supposed to be Mohamed Avdul. Outside of that, any possible iteration of M(o/u)ha(m/mm)(a/e)d A(b/v)d(o/u)l is accepted, and similarly to how the Pillar Men of Part 2 are sometimes known as Cars, AC/DC and Wham, his last name is popularly spelled as Abdul.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname's romaji is meant to have extended vowels; "Kakyouin" is the proper way to render it.
