Mikitaka Hazekura

{{char}} (支倉 未起隆, Hazekura Mikitaka), also self-proclaimed as Nu Mikitakazo Nshi (ヌ・ミキタカゾ・ンシ), is a secondary ally featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable, specifically in the "I'm an Alien" and "Let's Live on a Transmission Tower" story arcs.

A self-proclaimed alien, Mikitaka roams around Morioh to find a new home. He possesses a shapeshifting ability named Earth Wind and Fire, but it is intentionally not clear if it is an ability inherent to his extraterrestrial nature or if it is actually a Stand.

Mikitaka appears to have the physique of a teenage boy of average height. He bears a few odd facial features, like pointed ears and multiple irises. He has long, straight light hair. Mikitaka's physical appearance strongly fits the description of a Nordic alien.

Mikitaka wears a modified school uniform decorated with astronomical and alien-themed symbols. There are ringed planets on both sides of his collar. In a column on his torso, there are two flying saucers, two stars, and an infinity symbol (∞) with a crescent moon and sun in either loop. The stars have "E.T." engraved on them, which is a reference to the film, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Whether it's an elaborate prolonged charade or the truth, Mikitaka claims to be a 216-year-old extraterrestrial and a professional spaceship pilot[2] who visited Earth to see if the planet is suitable for living on.[4] He has several odd quirks related to his claims. Mikitaka and his species detest the sound of sirens and are allergic to them as sirens have distressing wavelengths.[3] When he hears a siren, he writhes in agony and his skin turns red with a rash, while he desperately tries to find some way to escape it.[2] He also wakes up from his sleep by stiffly standing up without bending any of his joints.[2] When Okuyasu doubts his claims, Mikitaka starts talking strangely in an alien voice and communicates with his watch as if he is calling his spaceship.[5]

He exhibits great curiosity in human culture, though seemingly does not understand it. As such, Mikitaka often acts bizarrely in an attempt to fit into Morioh, such as eating a pack of tissues when offered,[4] handing out two ice cream cones from his bag, and mimicking Okuyasu picking his nose.[2] He misunderstands figures of speech, thinks all earthlings look alike, does not know what common objects like dice are,[3] and hasn't heard of games like Old Maid.[6] Mikitaka's lack of awareness makes him easy to fool, as Josuke takes advantage of his naïveté to cheat in a dice game against Rohan.[3] Although he unknowingly helps Josuke deceive Rohan, Mikitaka is against underhanded methods like Kanedaichi tricking Josuke to remain trapped in the Super Fly tower.[6]

Giving Josuke and Okuyasu ice creams Mikitaka is a calm and pleasant person, more than willing to return favors. After Josuke takes him away from the sirens, Mikitaka offers to pay him back and helps him by transforming into dice as per Josuke's request.[3] Mikitaka proclaims to be a peaceful individual himself, mentioning that he left his weapons in his spacecraft as he did not come to fight. He also enjoys keeping pets and happens to have a pet mouse in his bag.[2] He first displays his kindness when he offers to give Okuyasu stomach medicine, misunderstanding Okuyasu's expression of laughing so hard that his stomach hurts.[4] He also thanks Josuke and Okuyasu for their tissues by giving them two ice cream cones,[2] although he has fabricated them with the flesh of his own hands.[3] Nonetheless, he is shown to be irritated when Okuyasu doesn't take him seriously.[2] Mikitaka is conscientious and determined to prove his capabilities. After transforming into a die for the first time and asking Josuke to roll him, he flaunts his capabilities by shouting a battle cry and being proud of his execution.[3] While running away with Josuke, his first question is whether he was helpful or not, oblivious to Rohan's house being on fire.[8] He courageously risks his life to save his friends while fighting Kanedaichi.[6] When Okuyasu assumes he can't help them against Super Fly, Mikitaka proves him wrong by capturing Kanedaichi so that he could be useful and accomplish something.[9] However, he can also be pessimistic and self-reproaching. Assuming they've lost, Mikitaka claims that they are only in the dangerous predicament against Super Fly because of him, and as such they should leave him there so they don't get hurt.[6] He's dominant but can be submissive.
