Noriaki Kakyoin

Kakyoin is a young man of average to above-average height and fit to slender build. His primary outfit is a proper, trench coat-length, green gakuran/tsume-eriW with gold accents and dress shoes typical for Japanese high schoolers. He is also shown wearing striped pajamas during his initial encounter with Death Thirteen. In the anime, he wears the pajamas when admitted to the hospital, along with bandages wrapped around his eyes. After he rejoins the rest of the group, he begins to wear black sunglasses over his twin scars. He is always seen wearing cherry earrings. Kakyoin keeps his red hair styled fluffed up in the back and longer around the nape of his neck, characterized by a large, twisting bang hanging to the side of his face. Strangely, the side the bang hangs at is inconsistent, changing depending on the way he's facing. He is attractive and has captured the attention of several women. Some of Jotaro's own admirers commented on his appearance, and during the Tower of Gray encounter, he swooned two female stewardesses. He is also referred to as beautiful upon arriving in India by a man trying to sell him a tattoo. Later, Kakyoin acquires two thin scars vertically crossing both eyes, which he often hides with a pair of dark sunglasses.reveals himself as a righteous, though blunt individual. Kakyoin is brutally ruthless with his enemies but endlessly loyal to his companions. He possesses a manipulative charisma in front of potential enemies, seen with Jotaro during their first meeting, the stewardesses before Tower of Gray, and the beggars during his encounter with J. Geil. In a flashback, his mother reveals that he was quiet and disassociated from his peers, turning away anyone who tries to approach him. His own ability to see stands led to a lonely childhood where he felt nobody could understand him, becoming depressive and cold. His reason for joining the Joestar Group is for both fighting evil, as he mirrors Jotaro's own explanations for saving his life, and of course a sense of debt towards Jotaro for saving his life. Thus Kakyoin is also a brave individual, willingly participating in the dangerous journey to Egypt, and is also able to keep his nerves even in the direst situations, such as having been punched through by The World. He depicts having strange habits during the trip, such as licking cherries before eating them, and sunbathing in his school uniform before brushing off Joseph and Avdol's skepticism. Kakyoin is described to be "the honorable student type", and thus can be described as haughty and somewhat introverted. Though he normally keeps a polite and somewhat formal behavior, Kakyoin is a rather cold and prideful man. In his character bio, Araki describes Kakyoin as effeminate, as he tends to speak in a softer dialect of Japanese and uses feminine diction in the manga. However, he is also noted to also be stern and blunt. He hates bowing down or kissing up to people. The humiliation of having been weak enough to bow to DIO was a part of his motivation for seeking redemption and revenge during Stardust Crusaders. He thinks only respectable individuals are able to be friends of his. The Stardust Crusader Group is the only group with whom he has attached himself, and he cares very strongly for them. Kakyoin has shown to lighten up with Polnareff, although he can also be very brutal and vindictive, having elbowed him in the face as "reconciliation". His attitude is notably worse with his enemies, whom he frequently threatens and belittles, and during his fights, he is very ruthless against them. Both as a hero and an antagonist, Kakyoin is particularly violent as he remorselessly kills all of his opponents (ripping Tower of Gray apart with no hesitation), arguing that they were evil beyond redemption; Kakyoin has stated that if he were to ever fall in love, he would want it to be with someone like Holly Kujo (Jotaro Kujo's Mother), because she gives off the feeling that anything will be alright and can calm anyone's hearts, making them feel at ease. Like Avdol, Kakyoin is quite knowledgeable about the nature of Stands—apparently more-so than Polnareff who was also born a Stand-User. He was for example, able to correctly hypothesize that Stands could shrink to a microscopic size. However, his knowledge is much more limited than Avdol's; he didn’t know about the existence of colony type Stands, nor was he aware of Stands turning against their Users as was the case with Holly Kujo.

Kakyoin is, due to a lifetime of possessing Hierophant Green, quite proficient at using it. Although it is mostly seen as a humanoid, Kakyoin states that its true form is that of a bunch of strings; as such one of his key tactics is to secretly unravel Hierophant Green's tentacles while keeping the main body as a distraction. Thanks to that, Kakyoin can avoid attacks by unraveling his Stand, use the strings as piercing weapons or ropes, and reach for things in the distance. It also gives him a distance advantage, being able to attack from far away with a flurry of sharp emerald shards. Kakyoin's long-range humanoid Stand is Hierophant Green; it's able to extend its tentacle-like limbs or unravel itself to a fair extent, as well as fire a barrage of hard emeralds, called the "Emerald Splash". He is often heard shouting his signature attack in fights.

(A stand is a manifestation of one's spiritual energy, appearing beside the user, ready to act. A Stand is a physical manifestation of a person's "life energy". It is an entity psychically generated by its owner, referred to as a Stand user.)
