Okuyasu Nijimura

After the death of his mother, Okuyasu and his older brother Keichou were subjected to abuse by their father during their childhood. Unbeknownst to either of them, their father had become a minion of Dio and was implanted with a flesh bud. Despite Dio eventually perishing, his flesh bud remained active inside of their father’s body, causing him to mutate into a nearly immortal, indestructible being. In order to end the misery of their father and become free, Keichou takes it upon himself to find a Stand user that is capable of killing Mr. Nijimura, along with the help of Okuyasu.

Soon afterwards, Keichou is then killed by the Stand Red Hot Chili Pepper. Fueled by the desire for revenge, Okuyasu seeks out Chili Pepper’s user to kill him in turn.

The Hand (ザ・ハンド) is Okuyasu’s Stand, capable of erasing space and physical objects with its right hand. As to where whatever is erased goes is a mystery, even to Okuyasu himself.
