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.

In his character cover for JoJonium, he is seen with shorter, light pink hair and a uniform with a different color scheme than usual, now being black with blue and red details.

Noriaki Kakyoin's Stand, Hierophant Green, is a long-range humanoid Stand known for its signature attacks like the Emerald Splash (firing emerald projectiles) and its ability to unravel into numerous tentacles for exploration, trapping, and even Marionette Control (entering and puppeteering bodies). Its key powers include stretching/unraveling, firing hard emeralds, sensing movement via tentacle webs, and internal body control, making it versatile for both offense and reconnaissance. 

Key Abilities:

Unraveling/Tentacles: Hierophant Green can unravel its body into a vast network of tentacles or ropes, allowing it to cover large areas, sense vibrations, create traps, or even enter small spaces.Emerald Splash: A powerful, rapid-fire barrage of high-speed emerald projectiles launched from its body, often shouted as a signature move.20-Meter Radius Emerald Splash: A devastating variation where Kakyoin traps an enemy in a tentacle web and bombards them with Emerald Splashes from all directions.Marionette Control: Kakyoin can send Hierophant Green's tentacles into an opponent's body to control them from within, using them as a puppet or meat shield.Sensitivity: The tentacle network acts as a sensory web, alerting Kakyoin to movement or contact with its strands. 

Characteristics:

Long-Range: A primary strength, allowing Kakyoin to fight from a distance.Durability/Versatility: While capable of great power, damage to many tentacles can harm Kakyoin, but unraveling can also help it avoid damage. Marionette Puppetry

Kakyoin is able to manipulate marionette dolls well, using it as a controller for his potential vessel, like the nurse that attacked Jotaro and his stand. He is not seen using this ability again.

Kakyoin is the most quick-thinking of the group, being able to devise extensive strategies and plans on the spot, such as during his fight with Death Thirteen, where he hid Hierophant Green for future use while in the process of being knocked unconscious, and tricking

Kakyoin is the most quick-thinking of the group, being able to devise extensive strategies and plans on the spot, such as during his fight with Death Thirteen, where he hid Hierophant Green for future use while in the process of being knocked unconscious, and tricking his way out of a horde of greedy beggars with a single coin. He is brilliant at analyzing, piecing together the ability of DIO's Stand while dying. He is also well informed on the behavior of different cultures, explaining to Jotaro on how to order tea and thank the waiters in Hong Kong.

Video Games

Kakyoin is shown to be excellent at video games, displaying confidence in his match with D'Arby and planning out a sequence of in-game attacks whilst playing.

Martial Arts

Kakyoin appears to be rather proficient at martial arts. During his fight against Tower of Gray, Kakyoin knocks out the Stand's User, shouting "Atemi!". This is a reference to the Japanese art of Atemi, which targets points of weakness in the human anatomy. This may be why he is of such an athletic build.

Painting

Kakyoin is shown to be capable of painting in his introduction, albeit in a semi-abstract style. He paints a picture of Jotaro before slicing his leg with his Stand by drawing a red mark on the canvas. He is not seen using this ability again.
