Koichi is an amiable, but meek youth who undergoes an exceptional degree of character development over the course of , becoming more assertive throughout many confrontations with evil Stand users. The metamorphosis of his Stand illustrates his greatest leaps, .

One of Koichi's constant traits is his friendliness and politeness toward strangers and acquaintances. Having a gentle heart, Koichi usually doesn't seek to harm his opponents. He notably saved Yukako from death even though she wanted to kill him before and briefly fought Giorno Giovanna without using the strength to kill, which inadvertently saved him. However, Koichi's friendliness disappears on the rare occasions he is angered, and he becomes more abrasive, violent, and vulgar.

One of Koichi's constant traits is his friendliness and overall politeness toward any stranger and acquaintance. Having a gentle heart, Koichi usually doesn't seek to harm his opponents. He notably saved Yukako from death even though she wanted to kill him before and briefly fought Giorno Giovanna without using the strength to kill, which inadvertently saved him. However, Koichi's friendliness disappears on the rare occasions he is angered, and he becomes more abrasive, violent, and vulgar.

Koichi also possesses a rather cheerful personality. He finds wonder in most things (such as his new bike, a famous mangaka living in town, finding an error in a map, etc.), and has little trouble befriending people. Because of this, he is usually easily pressured into an interlocutor's demands, taking Tamami Kobayashi as an example by effortlessly extorting him, or Rohan pushing him into spending time with him. Much like any ordinary teenager, Koichi is interested in more accessible distractions. He is a great fan of Rohan Kishibe's manga Pink Dark Boy and plans to visit W but expresses no interest in "old" countries such as Italy.

Another one of Koichi's primary characteristics is his courage and associated virtuousness. As revealed by , Koichi is described as cowardly, but courageous when push comes to shove. True to that assertion, Koichi is very prone to express anxiety, fear, and despair at various setbacks, such as his battles against Yukako, Rohan or Sheer Heart Attack. Terunosuke states that when Koichi is scared he blinks twice. In addition, Koichi mentions during the Atom Heart Father arc that he has claustrophobia. Still, Koichi soldiers on and braves danger despite his fears.

Initially weak-willed, acquiring a Stand and fighting others made him more confident in himself and assertive, going from being bullied by upperclassmen to facing down and taunting while on the verge of death. By, Koichi has grown into a confident teenager who, while still prone to bouts of panic, could enter a Stand fight without qualms.

The mix of his gentleness and courage make Koichi an extremely likable individual, earning the friendship and respect of the vast majority of the cast including Josuke Higashikata, Tamami Kobayashi, Toshikazu Hazamada, Rohan Kishibe, Yukako Yamagishi, Aya Tsuji, and Jotaro Kujo.

Koichi is a relatively perceptive individual, able to make quick and decisive moves in a fight, sometimes at the cost of being too imprudent. For the most part, Koichi tries to analyze his situation before acting, notably due to how weak his Stand is at the start of the series and the severe limitations of his powers, but sometimes misses a critical consequence of his actions.

After a difficult start in his relationship with Yukako, due to her kidnapping Koichi, he eventually fell in love with Yukako's tough and unforgiving personality. His love was such that he was willing to be blinded forever in case Yukako became ugly, so as to ease her pain.

Abilities:Stand

Koichi's , Echoes, starts off with ACT1, which hasn't come out of its egg yet. As Part Four progressed, Echoes hatches and evolves, giving Koichi new abilities to use. By the end of Part Four, Echoes gains ACT2 and ACT3. He is able to willingly call upon Echoes' previous ACT forms at will and utilize their unique abilities.

ACT1 enables him to write on any surface, causing the words or onomatopoeia to continuously repeat at various volumes.

ACT2 enables him to write a sound effect on any surface. If the word is touched, a special effect related to the sound effect is activated.

ACT3, a humanoid Stand, facilitates conventional melee attack and the ability to "freeze" targets by ascribing them unbearable weight.

Mastery

Thanks to Echoes' three forms, Koichi is presented with a wide array of options. For direct combat, Koichi favors using his latest ACT, almost exclusively using Echoes ACT3 when he unlocks it despite ACT2's potential for versatility. With Echoes ACT3, Koichi makes ample use of his weighting power to immobilize enemies but its restricted effects do not lend themselves to the imagination.

Koichi also regularly uses ACT1 as a scout, using its great range of 50 meters to watch his surroundings.

Stand Name: Echos

Echoes ACT1: 

ACT1 takes the appearance of a three-section larvae-like creature. Its oversized first section serves as a head and two small shelled arms are attached to it. The head is covered with a shell on top of which a spike is visible, and the face is nearly entirely covered by metallic blinkers, only leaving a small beak visible.

The second section is a shelled torso with a dark belly. The third section is equipped with a set of small wheels and a large serpentine tail with a dark belly and a clearer back covered in swirling spots and at whose end is a metallic rattle.

Its most common color scheme is green and black spots.

ACT1 doesn't have a full-fledged personality. It obeys its master's command and sometimes lets out a small growl.

ACT1 hatched from its egg during Koichi's fight with , and although it was weak, its strange power easily subdued Tamami. Koichi would then use it a second time against and to fool them into thinking Josuke really pierced his own eye and then fool Hazamada into taking a detour and let Josuke join with first. However, when Koichi was kidnapped by , although ACT1's long range and power allowed Koichi to contact Josuke, it was too weak against Yukako's willpower. Thus ACT1 evolved into ACT2. ACT1 made appearances after Josuke's fight against and Koichi. It would make a final appearance during the arc, when Koichi sent it out to scout for , leaving himself defenseless against .

Abilities:

ACT1 is a long-range Stand. It is very weak, its punch failing to hurt Tamami, and also slow. However, it has the longest range of all ACTs and can go up to about 50 meters from its user, making it useful as a scouting Stand.

Sound Generation

Echoes ACT1 can write words on any surface or person. If the writing is an onomatopoeia, typically in Katakana letters, a sound related to the onomatopoeia in question is produced. If the writing is a sentence written in Kanji, the words will influence the target's state of mind. For instance, Koichi was able to convince his mother, who was on the verge of suicide due to an enemy Stand making her feel disappointment in her son, to stop and trust him by using the sentence "Believe in me!" on her. The sound and words are said to not really be heard but to be as if they came from inside the person. The sounds vary in volume, but will increase the longer the sound is active and reverberates to a person more strongly if the sound is written directly on them.

The effect can be broken with enough willpower, as Yukako dispels the writing that Koichi puts on her.

Echoes ACT2

ACT2 is now humanoid, though smaller than ACT1. It is fully clad in a shell-like armor decorated with metallic striped protrusions at the crotch and other places, the most prominent piece being a large high collar fused with shoulder weights with "S2" written on the back which covers the back of the head and the shoulders. ACT2's oversized head has a now revealed face, its metallic striped eyes, nose and small robotic mouth being revealed. It still has a long organic tail with a dark belly and bright back, and a detachable kunai-like stinger.

It is generally portrayed as being green.

Abilities

Although ACT2 is still physically weak, it now possesses a stronger and more versatile power than its previous form, making it more suited to direct confrontation.

Sound Effect

Echoes' second form increases its sound abilities beyond its first form's capabilities. Echoes can write an onomatopoeia on any surface. However, unlike ACT1, it is only able to transform its tail tip into the graffiti that produces the sound effect, limiting it to only one sound effect at a time. When the sound effect is touched, an effect related to the sound is produced, either affecting the person who touched it or the object which the words are inscribed on.

FWOOSH (ヒョオオ Hyooo) - A strong wind is produced.KABOOM (ドグオン Doguon) - The toucher is blown back a great distance.BOING (ボョヨオン Byoyon) - The object becomes elastic and bouncy.SIZZLE (ジュー Jū) - The object radiates heat and will burn upon contact.Dorarara (ドラララ) - An attack rush of -shaped fists attack the enemy ( only)

Enhanced Speed: Foreshadowing the speed of ACT3, ACT2 gains a massive increase in speed - fast enough to give the impression of disappearing into the air.

Echoes ACT3

ACT3 is a completely humanoid Stand. ACT3 takes the appearance of a robot with the same metallic striped eyes but now human lips. Its body is covered in multiple striped protrusions mimicking human muscles and several of them form a crest at the top of the head. ACT3 also has two X-shaped holes on the sides of the head. ACT3 now possesses a cloth wrapped around its waist similar to shorts with the number 3 printed on the front and keeps its boots. Its tail is now vestigial, a single long spike protruding from its behind.

Koichi develops Echoes ACT3 during his confrontation against Sheer Heart Attack when ACT2 proves too weak to battle the Stand.

ACT3 is now fully sentient and able to communicate with its master. ACT3 speaks politely when talking to Koichi, following his orders and referring to him as Master. However, he has a tendency to suddenly curse in English, in a manner seemingly inspired by rap music. In the Japanese version, its speech is often written in katakana to underline a mechanical tone.

Echoes ACT 3 is generally presented as being white and green.

Abilities

Unlike Echoes' first two forms, ACT3 has a much shorter effective range. It is extremely fast and noted to be stronger but is still no match for a Stand like Killer Queen.

3 Freeze

ACT3's signature ability is 3 Freeze, with which it applies a "freezing" or stopping effect by greatly increasing the weight of its target by punching it, typically adopting a fighting stance while joining the hands together while doing so and producing an aura. For example, 's Sheer Heart Attack is forcibly sunk into the pavement by this ability, and, according to its user, the effects were as if there were 40-50 kilograms of weight on his left hand.

The weight increases do have drawbacks; 3 Freeze can only affect one thing at a time, and the effect ceases if the target moves more than 5 meters away from ACT3. The closer the target is to ACT3 however, the heavier it feels.

Rohan Kishibe is a passionate mangaka dedicated to his work, with a particularly abrasive personality but a good heart.

Rohan Kishibe is above all defined by his dedication to his work. With great draftsmanship talents, Rohan has constantly sought to make the best manga possible in order to keep being read. His wish to be read is so great it trumps any other motivation, disdaining money or glory and feeling no need for kinship either. When drawing, Rohan falls into an artistic trance, drawing with abandon and being distracted with great difficulty. Because of his tremendous drawing skill, the one thing Rohan seeks the most is inspiration to fuel his work as everything else is an effortless formality.

To gain inspiration, Rohan is constantly seeking new experiences or facts, investigating anything he might find interesting with blatant disregard for common sense, politeness or the law, for instance buying a whole mountain range to preserve the living area of a supposed yokai and constantly prying into people's lives by turning them into books with his . Moreover, Rohan is overly curious, willingly throwing himself into strange adventures such as an unusual house sale or a poaching session. His inquisitiveness can turn obsessive and downright morbid as he had to be reigned in to stop harassing and killed a spider just to taste its innards. Nonetheless, Rohan considers "reality" to be the greatest inspiration, and looks for genuine material, disdaining fakes such as when Hazamada fakes throwing up.

In addition to his own work, Rohan is an amateur of art in all its forms. He possesses movie goodies artbooks and manga figures alike, and considers that a visit to the museum to be a solemn occasion necessitating a proper outfit.

Parallel to his artistic passion exists Rohan's general unpleasantness. First of all, Rohan is arrogant, being aware of his nearly superhuman skill as an artist. Thus he generally looks down on everyone else and may only see people as possible material for his stories. However, he greatly respects Koichi for his courage and kindness. He also respects as a chef, later acknowledging him as a friend. Naturally, Rohan also hates being made a fool of, reacting with extreme dissatisfaction when Josuke cheated against him without him knowing how and cutting off his own finger as self-inflicted punishment. Likewise, he didn't like that his editor dismissed his idea for a one-shot.

His arrogance is paired with his constant coarseness. While he may act with professional courtesy, Rohan is generally brash and impolite. Maintaining a thin veneer of civility, Rohan will usually make no secret of what he thinks of people which, combined with his arrogance, often earns him a mutual disdain with his interlocutors. Likewise, he also likes aggravating people he doesn't like, playing a game with with the declared intention to ruin him, has also stated to liking put down people "in their place" by refusing their requests or orders and is willing to tease or taunt an opponent. Rohan blatantly disregards courtesy for the sake of his goals, turning people into books on a whim and having at one point entered a confessional just to see the interior. But if he is disinterested, Rohan may also blatantly not remember an interlocutor's name such as Yukako Yamagichi at one point and distract himself while they talk. He has also occasionally adopted a visible passive-aggressive behavior and had no qualm punching an annoying .

Nonetheless, behind his eccentric and discourteous demeanor, Rohan is still a decent person. When he learned about how saved him, he took an active part in seeking her murderer in part to give Reimi closure. He would also admit, with some persuasion, that he did like her and would miss her. Although he looks down on people and clashes with them, he always defends their lives, ultimately saving Ken Oyanagi when the boy tried to commit suicide and also saving the abrasive Kyoka Izumi from the gods of the mountains. Moreover, Rohan's stubborn personality means that he also has an iron-clad moral standard, for instance refusing to let Josuke be attacked by Highway Star despite the Stand promising to free him and Josuke being the person Rohan hates the most. Finally, Rohan steadfastly grants his fans autographs whenever they ask him, no matter the circumstances.

Despite his arrogance, Rohan is mature enough to know that surpassing others is easier than surpassing oneself.

Portrayed as impressively narcissistic in his in-universe interviews prior to Part 4, Rohan believed that there was no greater person than he, lying in response to questions to make himself appear likeable to fans. However, he began to humble himself after the events of Part 4, seen admitting his possible defeat to Hermes, begging for an innocent woman's life and acknowledging people as friends he cares about. None the less, he himself knows that his egotistical personality gets him in trouble, and after defeating Hermes, he seems to be more wary of his arrogance.

Recent stories feature Rohan doing regular physical exercise to keep in shape.

Name Stand: Heaven's Door

Stand Stats:

Destructive Power      SpeedRangeDBBPersistence Precision Developmental PotentialB       C       AAppearance:

Heaven's Door is initially introduced as an ability without an appearance, but takes on a full-fledged body in later arcs.

Heaven's Door resembles a small boy similar to Rohan's manga character, . It wears a long overcoat, closed to the end of its torso, and a bow tie. It has lines emanating from the bottom and the bottom-outsides of its eyes. Its flat-topped hat is similar to a W – In later stories, it more closely resembles a W, while in its first appearance (in Rohan's "Pink Dark Boy" manga), it wore an opaque fedora.

Rohan may summon it or induce its effect with certain paper drawings; or an air drawing with his finger in its image when it is invisible save for its outlines.

Heaven's Door is portrayed as being white with golden outlines across most media featuring it, except the OVA where the outlines become blue.

Abilities:

Heaven's Door is a weak close-range Stand unsuited for direct combat, but has several powerful abilities. For an inquisitive mangaka like Rohan, Heaven's Door is a handy way to gather research material out of people's pasts without the hassle of an interview.

During its introductory arc, Heaven's Door acts when Rohan's target sees it or an image of it drawn by him, which he can make in mid-air, with a pen or with his finger. However, closing one's eyes or being simply unable to process the image, like being filled with rage, will make the opponent immune to Heaven's Door.

Later on, Rohan can simply summon his Stand and approach people to affect them.

Book Transmutation

Heaven's Door's basic ability is to turn people into books, pages unfurling from their bodies in the shape of whatever body part it opens from (for example, if from the face, the shape of the pages is of the person's entire face, eye holes included). Targets may be incapacitated to varying degrees while under this effect, from barely being able to walk to being completely knocked out.

The contents of the books contain detailed and absolutely true information on their subject, including physical characteristics, personality, and all of their memories and thoughts from their earliest to their latest. The pages also include details on the victim's Stand, if they have one. Rohan was even able to use this ability on a chicken leg to determine its expiration date. However, Rohan cannot read his own memories, nor can Heaven's Door reveal any information and memories that his target knows about him.

A dying person's details are seen to gradually disappear. However, Heaven's Door is effective on both and the undead (as shown on , and zombie-like spirits in ). In animals, details comprise relatively literal descriptions.

Occasionally, it is shown that since people under the effect of Heaven's Door literally turn into books, Rohan can also use this forced physical transformation to his advantage. Rohan has notably used this power to literally unravel 's limbs and at another time, save someone from being crushed by two speeding trains by transforming their body into a book and flattening it enough to fit between the trains.

In the live-action TV drama Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, Heavens door functions slightly differently. While its powers are the same, a persons pages are changed to match their personality (for instance, Kyoka's pages resemble those of a fashion magazine, one featuring her). Also in the TV drama, Rohan's stand is never seen; while Heaven's Door is used, it is never shown to have a physical appearance.

Memory Removal

By removing pages, Rohan causes his target to lose any memories detailed there, along with a proportionate quantity of body mass, making them lighter. Should Rohan receive a substantial amount of physical damage or be knocked near unconscious, the removed pages will automatically return to their original source.

Written-In Commands

By writing into the pages of a person or object transformed into a book, Rohan may alter or erase memories, or put hypnotic-like commands into the person's mind.

Rohan's target will obey commands written into them without fail, even against mental resistance (for example, despite a fear of fire, Okuyasu is forced to hold a lighter to himself). He can even make his target obey commands that shouldn't be physically possible, such as commanding to fly backwards at 70 km/h or allowing to speak fluent Italian. After stealing 1/3 of Heaven's Door with his Stand , has demonstrated the ability to undo Rohan's commands.

A particular command Rohan likes to instill in targets is the Safety Lock, in which he writes in a command that prevents the target from attacking him.

While Rohan cannot read his own memories, he may write commands on himself
