Introduction
A teenage Stand user the same age as Jotaro. He has red hair with a long, curled side fringe, and always wears a dark green long-skirted school uniform, even refusing to take it off while sunbathing.
He has a very calm and patient personality, capable of observing thoroughly in battle to find and strike at the opponent's weaknesses.
When he was younger, he was reclusive because he was the only one around who had a Stand, which might be why his Stand "likes narrow places." However, after meeting Jotaro and the others, he felt the preciousness of companions and opened his heart, and even until his heroic death, his first thought was to help his comrades unravel the secret of DIO's Stand ability。

- Stand Trivia:
The name comes from the 5th Major Arcana card of the Tarot, "The Hierophant".
Araki designed the Stand's main body to be green to balance the coloring between allies and enemies, just like Jotaro's line "it looks just like a melon." During the period Araki was creating Part 3, he happened to be obsessed with green, and his art books used a lot of green tones.
- Stand Ability:
Hierophant Green has a humanoid form, but it can extend itself into thin strips and sprout tentacles. Its destructive power is not strong, and its primary method of attack isEmerald Splash. However, the Stand has a massive range and can cover long distances for detection and other purposes.
Body Extension: Hierophant Green is not a solid entity but is composed of many long, thin strips. The Hierophant can extend its body to slip into gaps or detect the opponent's movements, with a range that can reach several kilometers.
Control Ability: Directly extending Hierophant to enter the opponent's body and control their actions like a marionette.
Hierophant's Barrier: Fully extending Hierophant Green to fill the entire space like a laser net, perceiving every move of the enemy, and firing Emerald Splashes from all directions. It acts as a movement-restricting skill.

Noriaki Kakyoin metDio Brando, was intimidated by his power, and under extreme fear, his spirit succumbed and a flesh bud was implanted, after which he was sent to eliminate Jotaro's group. Withtransfer studentstatus to enter Jotaro's school. Like Jotaro, he was popular with girls. He ambushed Jotaro while he was going down the stairs, and later in the infirmary, he controlled a femaleschool nurseto attack Jotaro[7], after which Jotaro usedStar Platinum On the plane, the group encountered a beetle-like Stand, "Tower of Gray", which used its sharp tongue to kill. Kakyoin fought Tower of Gray, but Emerald Splash could not hit the agile Stand. Kakyoin then used a hand chop to knock out Tower of Gray's Stand userGray Fly, using Hierophant's extension ability to release tentacles to probe the environment, locking onto its position and killing it. However, the plane was destroyed, and the group crashed into the sea and reached Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, Kakyoin demonstrated his knowledge of local cultural customs. “Yellow Temperance" After the battle, Kakyoin on the train told Jotaro that cherries were his favorite fruit, and performed the same cherry trick as the one who impersonated him,Rubber Soulthe same cherry trick. Kakyoin's next battle was withPolnarefftogether withJ. Geil's "The Hanged Man" battle. Kakyoin used Emerald Splash to knock away Polnareff, who was being besieged by Hanged Man andEmperorbesieging Polnareff, and drove a car to pick him up. Polnareff blamed himself for his recklessness causing During the battle againstWheel of Fortune, Hierophant Green acted as a rope, pulling the group's car, which was about to fall off a cliff, back up. In the battle against The Lovers, Kakyoin played a vital role. "Lover" is a microscopic Stand that infiltratedJosephJoseph's body; once damage is dealt to the user of The Lovers—Steely Dandamage is caused, Joseph will also be harmed. Kakyoin and Polnareff shrunk their Stands to enter Joseph's body, while Jotaro was humiliated by Dan, which also served to distract him. Inside Joseph's body, The Lovers planted flesh buds and cloned itself into many individuals. Kakyoin used Hierophant's tentacles to detect the real body and then forced it out with Emerald Splash, after which Joseph destroyed the flesh buds with Ripple. The Lovers returned to Steely Dan and entered a child's body; Dan tried to use this to threaten Jotaro again, but Kakyoin's tentacles wrapped around The Lovers to restrain it, and Jotaro beat Dan senseless to defeat him. When they encountered the Stand "The Sun," Kakyoin tried to attack with Emerald Splash but was injured by The Sun's powerful lava counterattack. Because The Sun's trick was so easy to see through, Kakyoin burst out laughing, followed by Polnareff and Jotaro, leading Joseph to briefly think they had lost their minds. Finally, Jotaro finished offThe Sun's user.。
After Avdol rejoined the team with a submarine,High Priestessinfiltrated the submarine everyone was in. Hierophant Green attacked High Priestess, but could not damage the hard High Priestess. Although Avdol warned Kakyoin to dodge, he was still attacked by High Priestess, then left with everyone using diving equipment. Joseph taught everyone some sign language for underwater communication. Polnareff also made a sign, and Kakyoin understood its meaning immediatelyUnderwear is all visible, then high-fived and bumped arms with the like-minded Polnareff. Finally, Jotaro defeated High Priestess, and everyone successfully reached Egypt. In the Egypt arc,IggyAfter joining the team, Joseph took a group photo with a new camera. Everyone was immediately attacked by the swiftGebattack, Kakyoin's eyes were slashed, and he did not appear for a long time afterward. While Kakyoin was distressed because his eyes would take too long to fully recover, the doctor told him that professional personnel would treat him, greatly shortening the recovery time. When the group finally found DIO's location, he met up with them wearing sunglasses (still in his green school uniform) and entered the mansion to search for DIO. Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Joseph wereD'Arby the Playerpulled into his game room, where they needed to defeat him in a game to move forward and rescue the souls he had collected. Ashamed of his past self for succumbing to Dio, Kakyoin decided to compete with D'Arby in a racing game. However, he fell behind right at the start during acceleration. He later used techniques like spin ramming to stabilize the situation, even sticking to the wall to enter a narrow acceleration tunnel that could only fit one car alongside D'Arby. But upon exiting the tunnel, he was still one car length behind. Kakyoin used spin ramming again, but as D'Arby expected, it knocked D'Arby's car further ahead on the track. Realizing his defeat, he was turned into a doll by D'Arby's Stand, "Atum" and turned into a doll. Finally, he was rescued by Jotaro When the group finally reunited, the sun was already about to set. Upon their first encounter with Dio, they were intimidated by the unknown power of "The World" and fled the mansion in haste, while Dio pursued them into the night. Joseph and Kakyoin drove ahead to lure Dio, while Polnareff and Jotaro followed Dio from behind. During this, Kakyoin tentatively released Hierophant to attack Dio, but the Emerald Splash was deflected by Dio using his own physical prowess. Then, Dio's The World launched a surprise attack during stopped time, punching Hierophant back, and Kakyoin once again felt Dio's overwhelming power. Joseph and Kakyoin's car was destroyed because |

Even his earrings are cherry-shaped.Rero↗rero↘rero→rero↘rero↗rero→rero↗rero↘rerorerorerorerorerorerorero (combo!)
- According to Kakyoin himself, if he were to look for a romantic partner, he would choose someone likeHolly Joestar,...the kind of woman who can soothe one's heart and make one feel relaxed just by being near her.This has been developed into a "MILF" meme overseas.
Jotaro: I treat you like a brother, but you want to be my father. - When facing J. Geil (Hanged Man), he spoke words brimming with the JoJo spirit:"My name is Noriaki Kakyoin. For the vengeance of my friend Avdol, and for the peace of the soul of my friend Polnareff's sister—I shall make you pay with your life!"This is also one of his most classic lines.

Gourmet
- Kakyoin's Porridge
- After defeating the baby who could control dreams in the Death 13 battle, in order to punish the baby, he used special ingredientsthe baby'sfecesto create the "Noriaki Porridge" praised by generations of JoJo fans.Abbacchio: Me too
- donuts
- Because Noriaki Kakyoin's body was pierced through, creating a hole, he is sometimes jokingly called a "donut." Other characters in the series whose bodies are pierced are also referred to as donuts.
- This nickname is a sign of disrespect towards the character's tragic death, much like "Caesar Jam" or "Turtle Polnareff"; it is not of the same nature as "Noriaki Porridge" or "Abba Tea," and should not be spammed everywhere.
