Noriaki Kakyoin

"I wonder why I get goosebumps when I think of Iggy and Avdol. Perhaps because they were the first friends I shared a common goal with. This journey to defeat DIO... even though it only lasted a few weeks, they became friends I could truly connect with."

- Noriaki Kakyoin. Noriaki Kakyoin is a core ally in the Stardust Crusaders arc of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. Acquiring his Stand at a young age, Kakyoin struggled to make meaningful relationships with other people as they couldn't see Hierophant Green. When vacationing in Egypt with his parents he was approached by Dio Brando, who saw his Stand potential and brainwashed Kakyoin into following him. He was given the mission to kill Jotaro Kujo but was defeated and had the flesh bud pulled out of his head, breaking the brainwashing. Kakyoin then decided to join Jotaro and the others in their mission to stop Dio, to restore his pride in himself and save Jotaro's mother from Dio's curse.

Quiet and distant, Kakyoin's personality is mirrored by his Stand, Hierophant Green, which has the ability to control someone by entering their body as well as firing off a barrage of projectiles in an attack called Emerald Splast.
