Yukako Yamagishi
Yukako originated from the experiences that Araki gained after getting married during Part 3. Araki had been married for roughly two years when he created Yukako, choosing to draw her as the other side of women that weren't typically depicted at the time. Araki based Yukako's initial personality and horrific obsession with Koichi on the 1990 film. In the film, the protagonist is held captive by an obsessed superfan.

In the game Heritage for the Future, some of Midler's illustrations were based on depictions of Yukako from the manga.

Pannacotta Fugo
While writing Part 5, Araki originally planned on having one of the members of the group--including Mista, Narancia, Fugo and Abbacchio--be a spy secretly working for the Boss, who would at some point betray Giorno and Bucciarati. Araki initially settled on making Fugo the traitor similar to the story of Judas in the bible, however, decided against it as he couldn't bare the thought of how Bucciarati would've felt being betrayed by a dear friend. According to Araki, it might've been up to Giorno to dispatch of Fugo, although he thought it too dark and would've leave a bad impression on his younger readers. Because of this, Fugo suddenly leaves the group after a disagreement. Araki later asked Miya Shotaro to write noval... (GHGR)

On a side note, Araki also mentioned while Fugo's Stand is deadly, if he were to fight against Bucciarati, Sticky Fingers is fast enough to easily neatralize its virus attacks by unzipping Purple Haze's arms.

ANIME ORIGINAL BACKSTORY

The Monster of Mutsu-kabe Hill
Bankrupt from buying a large piece of land for research purposes, Rohan tells his editor, Minoru Kaigamori, the story of a genuine yokai he witnessed. The story starts with Naoko Osato, the heir of a wealthy family, who cut ties with her secret lover, Gunpei Kamafusa, after forced into an arranged marriage. The break-up turns into a fight with Naoko accidentally killing him. Panicked, Naoko tries to stop Gunpei's wound from bleeding, however, the blood mysteriously keeps gushing out. Naoko married and had children, but never strayed far from the house as she continued to hide Gunpei's corpse, meticulously collecting the blood as it endlessly poured.

Hearing legends of a yokai in the area, Rohan investigates Naoko and find out about Gunpei's corpse. On the way back, he stumbles into Naoko's daughter, who falls and hits her head against a rock, seemingly dying. Realizing that that the girl was Gunpei's child, Rohan uses Heaven's Door to erase her memories and prevent her from possessing him. In that moment, the yokai revealed its true form shrieking before turning back into the girl and running away. In the end, Rohan leaves safely and with a story for his manga.

Meeting Kyoka Izumi
While discussing their next one-shot, Rohan's editor, Kyoka Izumi, talks about buying a villa in the mountains, claiming that anyone who buys one there becomes incredibly rich. At the villa, a child butler greets the two of them and asks them to wait for the current owners, giving them tea. However, the butler soon asks them to leave as they've already breached etiquette by handling the tea cup incorrectly, and that the owners won't sell the villa to anyone with bad manners.

Kyoka begs for a second chance, which is granted, but is soon devastated to learn that her mother and fiancee have both died in a car crash. Rohan immediately uses Heaven's Door on the butler and learns that the Gods of the Mountains are testing them, and that whoever breaches etiquette is punished with the death of their loved ones. Because of Rohan's actions against the butler, Kyoka collapses due to a heart attack. To save her, Rohan must face another trial: a plate of corn. After much thinking, Rohan correctly deduces that the proper way to eat corn is to hold it with both hands. Moreover, because he had written that the butler wouldn't be able to see the tatami's edges, the butler breached etiquette three times causing Kyoka to return to life. As a prize, he asks for Kyoka's loved ones to be returned and leaves the village while carrying her unconscious body.

Trip to Italy
After an incident forces Rohan to put his series on hiatus, he takes a vacation to Italy. While in Venice, Rohan accidentally enters a confessional where a man begins to confess his sins. The man tells of his youth when a starving vagrant came to him for food. Disdainful, he forced the vagrant to carry large bags of corn, ultimately leading to his death. However, the vagrant's ghost appeared, swearing to return and take revenge on the happiest day of his life.

After becoming rich and successful, the man walked cheerfully with his daughter and servant in what he thought was the happiest moment of his life. Suddenly, the vagrant's spirit possesses his daughter and reveals that he was behind man's prosperity from the start. The ghost explains that he wanted fate to judge him, demanding that he throws three pieces of popcorn into the air higher than the lamppost and catch it in his mouth. If he fails, the ghost would would cut off his head. The man successfully catches the first two pieces of popcorn, but misses the third piece after being blinded by the sun. As it lands on his shirt, the ghost cuts off his head. Yet the man still was alive, revealing he used his servant as a body double to trick the ghost. Rohan then witnesses the man leaving the confessional followed by the spirit of the vagrant and servant, who vowed to endlessly stalk him.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Although JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is one of the largest series in Japan, it'd be quite some time before it received a full TV anime adaption. When Hiroyuki Omori, a producer at Warner Brothers Japan, was approached about making an anime for the series, he initially thought it too difficult of a task for any studio to pull off. However, after getting planning permission from Shueisha, Omori set out on finding a suitable studio for the project.

Omori chose David Production as the studio to animate JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation because of their work on the series, which showed "showed powerful linework and careful animation", and therefore convinced him they could adapt a series like JoJo. All three parts of the anime (including Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders) were greenlit simultaneously in 2011. However, pre-production for the first season wouldn't start until March 2012.

With the success of the first season, the studio immediately begun work on the second season,Stardust Crusaders.

The fourth season of the anime, Golden Wind, was greenlit in January 2017. On July 25, 2017, the directors for the season went on a trip to to begin location scouting, which lasted roughly eight to nine days.

Takahiro Kishida, who had previously worked as an animator for OVAs was brought back as the character designer.

Production on the fifth series of anime started in March 2021, a month prior to it's announcement at JOESTAR The Inherited Soul.
