History Characters / JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable

* BreakoutCharacter: While she has a relatively minor role in ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', Yukako has since become a major representative of Part 4, between her being playable in ''Eyes of Heaven'' and later ''All Star Battle R'', her being one of the main listeners of Rohan's stories alongside Okuyasu and Koichi in ''Manga/ThusSpokeKishibeRohan'', and even getting a major role as a lead protagonist in the live-action movie. This is best emphasized by the "All Missions Cleared" art for Part 4 in ''All-Star Battle R''. Besides Part 6 before a free update and Part 8, all of the "All Missions Cleared" images feature the main protagonists in the foreground and the main antagonist in the background. For Part 4, Kira [[spoiler:as Kosaku]] is in the background, while in the foreground are Josuke, Koichi, Rohan, Jotaro, Okuyasu... and Yukako.
* TheBusCameBack: While several of the other "Duwang Gang" characters (Josuke, Okuyasu, Koichi, Tonio, Akira, and Tamami) had cameos in ''Manga/ThusSpokeKishibeRohan'', Yukako hadn't shown up again...until "Episode 9: D.N.A.," where she's central to the plot (Rohan's 'client' is friends with Yukako's mother).

* EarlyBirdCameo: He can be seen in a shot among the crowd when the heroes are tracking down Kira the first time after stealing Kosaku's face.

Brother of Okuyasu Nijimura and wielder of the Stand Bad Company, an army of miniature soldiers, toy-sized helicopters, and tanks who deal a lot of damage. He is responsible for the creation of Koichi, Okuyasu, Akira, and Angelo as Stand users, as well as Yukako and Rohan.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: After Akira's Stand Red Hot Chilli Pepper drags him through the power circuitry, the rest shortly discover his body spread out on some nearby telephone lines, completely charred black from the voltage.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Keicho could be ''generously'' claimed to be in about a tenth of the manga's runtime, but it is very minimal compared to his use of the Bow and Arrow creates many, ''many'' stand users, including two of the main characters such Okuyasu, Koichi and Rohan as well as Akira and Angelo, which put into motion the sequence of events that result in Kira's ultimate defeat and death.

* AnimalMotifs: His Stand is often referred to as a bird in the dub, both by the protagonists and by Akira himself. Makes sense, since birds are often associated with music.

* CallBack: His Stand is one to [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Esidisi]], one of the Pillar Men who utilizes red hot blood as his weapon. Red Hot Chili Pepper uses electrical currents to travel and attack. Doubly so when remembering that Esidisi is named after the band Music/{{ACDC}}, while Akira's cuff links feature the letters AC and DC on them.
* ConfessToALesserCrime: He gets 3 years for burglary of five million dollars worth of goods, after he murdered Keicho and attempted to murder Joseph. Granted, Keicho wasn't a very good guy either and nobody can actually reveal the details of Keicho's murder without [[BrokenMasquerade having to explain the complicated nature of Stands]]. [[PreferJailToTheProtagonist Akira prefers the jailtime anyways, as he's absolutely terrified of what Jotaro and Okuyasu would do if they caught him again]].

* GameBreakingInjury: Akira himself makes it out of his fight okay, but Red Hot Chili Pepper is permanently maimed to such a degree that Jotaro no longer sees him as much of a threat.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Akira is highly self-centered.

* LargeHam: A guy dressed like that is obligated to be theatrical. When Josuke dislocates his pinkie, Akira forces it back through sheer will, and channels his pain and anguish into a shredding guitar solo.

* LoopholeAbuse: Red Hot Chili Pepper is technically a very long-range Stand, meaning that while it does not reflect damage back to Akira, it should ''not'' be strong enough to match a close-range power Stand like Crazy Diamond blow-for-blow. However, its ability to empower itself via electricity means that so long as it has a ready source of power nearby, it becomes a MasterOfAll with only two clear weaknesses: water, and its user being assaulted.

* NonIndicativeName: Red Hot Chili Pepper is yellow in color, not red.
* PersonalityPowers: His Stand matches his electrifying personality. It's also great at hiding in plain sight (I.E in motorcycles, televisions and powerlines) which interestingly resembles what Akira does to get on-board the Speedwagon foundation's ship at the end of his arc.

* {{Synchronization}}: Downplayed. While it's unknown what happened to Akira when RHCP got his mid section scraped away, he seems fine afterwards. When Chili Pepper is defeated by being thrown into the ocean, both he and Akira are fried by the electrical discharge. However, while both survive, Chili Pepper was rather gruesomely maimed and came out missing a few limbs and had his face broken in half; Akira has none of those injuries.
* SuperPowerLottery: Red Hot Chili Pepper's stats is A ranks in everything but Precision, notably having a range of kilometers while still being able to match up in power with close range Stands and being able to charge itself up or move undetected through electrical wires and batteries. Had Akira aspired to be anything more than a rock star with petty thievery on the side, he could have been one of the most powerful Stand users in the series.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: While Akira fears Jotaro's power, he underestimated both Okuyasu and Josuke. Okuyasu nearly defeated him and Red Hot Chili Pepper escaped only thanks to his manipulation and Okuyasu's impulsiveness. When Akira personally showed up to kill Joseph, he believed Josuke to be an easy match, underestimating the youth, which led him to his defeat.

* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: He correctly guesses that "Kosaku" is his son Yoshikage in disguise, just from the length of his fingernails.

* AwfulWeddedLife: His marriage to his wife Shinobu isn't very happy. It probably says something that Shinobu is happier with "Kosaku" when Kira is impersonating him.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He didn't like shiitake mushrooms, which is why Shinobu is surprised to see Kira-as-Kosaku eating them.

* HandwritingAsCharacterization: Kosaku is a lower-ranking {{salaryman}} who writes in clear, but off-kilter kanji. Kira, who impersonates the man, finds the task of copying his handwriting to be tedious.

Kosaku Kawajiri's wife.

* AwfulWeddedLife: Her marriage to Kosaku prior to him being replaced by Kira was a relatively unhappy and boring one.

* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Initially, she didn't enjoy her relationship with Kosaku and was quite moody about it. After Kira took Kosaku's place, she began loving her "husband" and became more happy.

* SacrificialLion: He is the first good character killed by a villain.

* GrotesqueCute: As a flower, Tama looks a tad disturbing due to its fleshy petals and large eyes seemingly connected to thin stalks, but when it plays with the golf balls Kira gives it or takes a nap in its flower pot it looks downright adorable. It's even better in the anime where it gets a small CatSmile when it starts warming up to Kira.

His Stand is named after the band Music/BadCompany, their SelfTitledAlbum ''Bad Company'' and/or its respective title track ''Bad Company''.

His Stand is named after the band Music/BadCompany.

* MakingASplash: Aqua Necklace's power is a lot like [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders N'Doul's Geb]]. The main difference is that while Aqua Necklace can't control as much fluid as Geb could at a time, it's a lot more precise, and can even control water vapor.

** Also, in English, it tends to finish its statements with "Yes?" In Japanese, it ends them with -ne, an ending which means you expect the other person to agree with you, similar to the English 'isn't it?' or '[[CanadaEh eh]]?', which is fitting for its wheedling, coercive nature.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: In its first appearance, Highway Star had the ability to create the illusion of a room, which Yuya uses to lure Rohan in. He never uses this ability again.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Tries to bail out of the Enigma fight after Josuke is trapped by the Stand's power, though this is immediately averted.

* AintTooProudToBeg: After he is defeated, Terunosuke tries to make Josuke let him go on the grounds that he just likes watching people in fear and he only just got his Stand so he was cocky. He even tries apologising to get out of a beating. Unfortunately for him, after all the stunts he pulled during the arc, Josuke is in no mood to comply.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's not made entirely clear if Masazo was actually Cheap Trick's initial carrier, given its nature to hop from host to host, and considering that Cheap Trick knew about Rohan's photos of Yoshikage Kira, whereas Masazo is an architect who knows nothing about Kira, it's unknown if Cheap Trick was even ''his'' Stand in the first place.

* ItCanThink: Highway Star is able to move and think independently even conversing with the heroes and coming up with plans on its own. When going after Terunosuke Yuya gives orders to Highway Star rather than simply controlling it with his mind.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's never explained why he was at Aya's boutique before Kira came in and forced their face swap.

* SimpleYetAwesome: The food he makes with his stand is this. It tastes so improbably delicious to the level that even Okuyasu, who hates spicy food, couldn't stop himself from eating the Spaghetti Puttanesca[[note]]"Harlot's spaghetti", usually pasta mixed into a sauce of tomatoes, anchovies, garlic and capers. This is considered an Italian lower-class classic, and got it's name from women of the night cooking spaghetti in a sauce of whatever they could get their hands on. The exact origin of "Harlot's Spagheti" is debated to this day, but the first written source of it comes from Raffaele La Capria's Ferito a Morte (A Mortal Wound), a 1961 Italian novel which mentions "spaghetti alla puttanesca come li fanno a Siracusa (spaghetti alla puttanesca as they make it in Syracuse)"[[/note]], a spicy dish that he prepared for him, and of course, it also has far greater benefits than even the healthiest of foods out there, due to being able to heal you in impossible ways, ranging from curing your fatigue with ''just'' a glass of mineral water to being able to actually make you [[AbnormalDentalGrowth regrow your adult teeth]] as you replace ones that have cavities in them. If not for how he has to go about healing people, and the fact he isn't a combatant, he'd easily be one of the best "healer" type Stand user seen in series.

A biker gang JapaneseDelinquent whose good looks and charismatic charm has earned him the [[ChickMagnet adoration of three women]]. His Stand is the LifeDrain-causing Highway Star, capable of sustaining speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour without tiring and dividing into a swarm of footprints to drastically increase its durability.

* FurryReminder: Despite being a plant-cat hybrid with a Stand, Tama's still a cat at heart. When Kira throws it a golf ball, Tama immediately diverts its attention to the object moving in front of it and starts playing with the golf ball like a real cat. It also likes to doze off and sleep in sunlight.

* JapaneseDelinquent: Implied by their love of pachinko and habit of carrying their ''bokken'' around.

* BreakoutCharacter: While she has a relatively minor role in ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', Yukako has since become a major representative of Part 4, between her being playable in ''Eyes of Heaven'' and later ''All Star Battle R'', her being one of the main listeners of Rohan's stories alongside Okuyasu and Koichi in ''Manga/ThusSpokeKishibeRohan'', and even getting a major role as a lead protagonist in the live-action movie. This is best emphasized by the "All Missions Cleared" art for Part 4 in ''All-Star Battle R''. Besides Part 6 before a free update and Part 8, all of the "All Missions Cleared" images feature the main protagonists in the foreground and the main antagonist in the background. For Part 4, Kira [[spoiler:as Kosaku]] is in the background, while in the foreground are Josuke, Koichi, Rohan, Jotaro, Okuyasu... and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Yukako]].

* LackOfEmpathy: He feels no remorse for injuring people with the Bow and Arrow or the consequences randomly giving people Stands could have, such as with Angelo.

* VagueAge: As with a number of characters, especially in Part 4, Keicho's age is hard to pin down. In the manga Angelo even lampshades it noting that it was hard to tell if he was a teen or an adult especially with the fact that he was wearing a school uniform. His age is listed as 18.

* EvilOldFolks: He has the appearance of a lightly-built, balding old man.

* PragmaticVillainy: In contrast to Keicho's method of shooting whoever he could with the Arrow to see if they could get a Stand, Yoshihiro has the Arrow guide him to people who it chooses. He's doing it to get the best results out of the Arrow's use, and as a result he's not just killing random people who didn't have the fortitude to make a Stand.
* PushoverParents: Taken to a pretty horrific extent where he'll be an accomplice to many murders just to make his son happy.

* CatchPhrase: Likes to tell his opponents not to get cocky.

* SimpleYetAwesome: The food he makes with his stand is this. It tastes so improbably delicious to the level that even Okuyasu, who hates spicy food, couldn't stop himself from eating the Spaghetti Puttanesca[[note]]"Harlot's spaghetti", usually pasta mixed into a sauce of tomatoes, anchovies, garlic and capers. This is considered an Italian lower-class classic, and got it's name from Neapolese women of the night cooking spaghetti in a sauce of whatever they could get their hands on. The exact origin of "Harlot's Spagheti" is debated to this day, but the first written source of it comes from Raffaele La Capria's Ferito a Morte (A Mortal Wound), a 1961 Italian novel which mentions "spaghetti alla puttanesca come li fanno a Siracusa (spaghetti alla puttanesca as they make it in Syracuse)"[[/note]], a spicy dish that he prepared for him, and of course, it also has far greater benefits than even the healthiest of foods out there, due to being able to heal you in impossible ways, ranging from curing your fatigue with ''just'' a glass of mineral water to being able to actually make you [[AbnormalDentalGrowth regrow your adult teeth]] as you replace ones that have cavities in them. If not for how he has to go about healing people, and the fact he isn't a combatant, he'd easily be one of the best "healer" type Stand user seen in series.

* NearVillainVictory: He comes within miliseconds of successfully getting Josuke to kill Jotaro, only stopped thanks to the split-second arrival of a pair of angry bikers that Hazamada previously attacked.

* StoryBreakerPower: Non-fatal example, but a Stand like Surface could very easily be used to kill any Stand user from a distance at little risk to the user. In fact, it very nearly kills Jotaro without him even noticing. With a guy as scummy as Hazamada, it's a good thing that it was destroyed and seemingly never repaired, but no question it could've come in handy against nearly any opponent in the part.

* {{Synchronization}}: PlayedWith. Unlike most Stands, the maiming and destruction of Surface don't seem to affect Hazamada at all. However, Hazamada had earlier stated that the wooden puppet was simply just something his Stand inhabited and its destruction probably had no effect on the Stand itself.
