- Yuya Fungami,

Yuya Fungami (噴上 裕也) est un personnage secondaire de la quatrième partie de ', '. Etant d'abord un antagoniste dans l'arc "Highway Star", il devient un allié dans l'arc "Enigma Boy".

Yuya est un jeune membre d'un gang de motards que a transformé en manieur de  et a manipulé pour attaquer les membres du Groupe Joestar. Il leurre et  dans un piège et son Stand  pourchasse Josuke à travers la ville. Plus tard, Yuya assiste Josuke dans son combat contre.

Apparence
Yuya est un jeune adolescent de taille moyenne et à la carrure scelte. Il a une coiffure de type undercut et son mention est tatoué avec un "H☆S" qui représente le nom de son Stand, Highway Star. On note que Yuya a un très beau visage, en tout cas pour les personnages.

Yuya porte un uniforme scolaire modifié, dont la veste est coupée avec des trous ressemblant à des croix, et portant au cou un grand noeud de ruban dont les extrémités sont marqués par les mots "Highway" et "Speed King".

Personnalité
Yuya est introduit comme un antagoniste. Comme il tend des embuscades avec son Stand à longue portée et qu'il est entouré d'un trio d'admiratrices, Yuya donne l'impression d'être couard, égocentrique et vain.

Cependant, à sa deuxième apparition, Yuya montre qu'il est tout de même brave et loyal. En effet lorsque Josuke est neutralisé par, Yuya fut impressionné par le fait que Josuke a tout fait pour sauver. Se rappelant qu'il aime ses copines et qu'il aurait fait pareil à sa place, Yuya se décide à combattre Miyamoto. Il a une très bonne relation avec ses copines et veut les protéger. Yuya a un bon sens de la déduction qu'il utilise lors de sa traque pour Terunosuke.

Terunosuke Miyamoto explique que le tic de Yuya quand il a peut est qu'il se touche le menton.

Le Stand de Yuya est Highway Star, un Stand automatique qui traque des cibles entrant dans une salle dans un tunnel de Morioh. Highway Star est autonome, a une grande portée (assez pour aller à travers Morioh), et va à une vitesse de 60km/h. Highway Star absorbe l'énergie vitale des gens, ce qui permet à Yuya de se soigner.

Yuya a aussi un sens de l'odorat qui s'est développé quand son pouvoir Stand s'est éveillé.

Passé
Yuya Fungami is a member of a biker gang. Two days prior to appearance in the story, Yuya Fungami suffered from a severe motorcycle accident as he was racing across the Twin Pines tunnel. With his spine and all four limbs broken, Yuya was brought to the Budogaoka Hospital. At one point, he was pierced by Yoshihiro Kira with the Bow and Arrow and acquired a Stand ability.

Highway Star
Wanting to heal faster, Yuya uses his Highway Star to absorb energy from people. Highway Star coincidentally lures Rohan Kishibe, a Stand User, inside of its room and attacks. Although Rohan has a motorcycle, he is eventually to slow down and is caught by the Stand, which absorbs his life force. Highway Star drags Rohan into its room. Soon after, Josuke appears to also investigate the tunnel. Through Highway Star, Yuya tempts Rohan into luring his most hated acquaintance into the room in exchange for freedom. Rohan refuses out of principles. The mangaka helps Josuke escape the tunnel and tells him to to find the Stand User. Yuya thus sics Highway Star on Josuke. Thanks to Rohan's lifeforce, he recovers rapidly. From not being able to properly breathe, Yuya is now able to speak to his fangirls.

Josuke eventually finds him and reaches his hospital room. However, Highway Star has also managed to catch him. Josuke's lifeforce is drained. Satisfied, Yuya tells his girls to fetch him a peach and help him relieve himself, which they happily do. At this point, Yuya notices that his sense of smell has sharpened to the point he can tell a specific peach is rotten or smell that one of his fangirls, Yoshie, is on her periods. He then smells a great deal of anger, and realizes too late that it comes from Josuke, who gave himself a bit of strength back by sipping on Yuya's IV. Although Highway Star attempts to attack, Josuke is now in range and Crazy Diamond punches Yuya's leg faster than Highway Star can act. Yuya pleads for mercy, invoking that it would be terrible to fight a crippled man like him. Josuke agrees and thus heals Yuya, just to make it a fair fight. Crazy Diamond pummels Yuya and sends him flying through the window. Josuke then dissuades him from ever using his Stand to steal lifeforce.

Back to square one as far as his injuries are concerned, Yuya's face has now been ruined too and his fangirls stop caring about him.

Enigma
When Koichi is kidnapped by Terunosuke Miyamoto, Josuke asks him to find Koichi with his heightened sense of smell. Although Yuya is furious with Josuke and initially tells him to go away, he cannot pass the opportunity to be healed. Thanks to Crazy Diamond, Yuya is completely healed, just as his fangirls come visit him. Using his sense of smell and deductive ability, he easily deduce that his fangirls have been playing pachinko and that the winner is here to give him a chocolate.

Yuya tracks Koichi's smell up to a square where he and Josuke find his school bag. However, Yuya then smells Terunosuke Miyamoto himself. Apprehensive, Yuya tells Josuke that he will not fight. Yuya thus witnesses Miyamoto using his paper-based Stand ability Enigma against Josuke. Josuke eventually baited into showing his fear tells to Miyamoto when a piece of paper that could contain Koichi is thrown into the path of a car. Josuke is sealed into a paper, but not before declaring that he expected the paper to be a trap and that he had to save it just for the small possibility that Koichi could be in it. Miyamoto nonetheless seals Josuke and unfolds a taxi to go confront Jotaro.

However, Yuya is impressed by Josuke's speech and decides to come fight. He sends Highway Star after the car. It opens the door and takes Josuke's paper, but Miyamoto simply shuts the door and takes the paper back, ordering the driver to drive faster. When Yuya eventually catches up to the taxi, he finds it parked on the side of the road, with a piece of paper put on the passenger seats. Yuya manages to avoid a first trap as he opens the door and a paper stuck in it releases fire. He picks the paper and realizes that while Josuke and Koichi are in here, other items are folded together in it. Yuya lightly unfolds the paper, only to realise that scorpions have come out of it. Highway Star kills them but then he sees that the unfolded paper has released acid eating at the rest.

Yuya must unfold the entire paper, but realises that it has released a shredder that threatens to kill Josuke and Koichi. Unable to break the machine or pull the papers, Yuya shows his fear tells, allowing Miyamoto to finally turn him into paper. However, Yuya had planned for this and uses his transformation to fit his hand into the shredder, merges his hand with the paper of Koichi and Josuke and pulls them out. When Miyamoto threatens to rip Yuya's paper, Koichi's Echoes weights his hands and immobilizes him. Josuke and Koichi defeat Miyamoto and turn him into a book.

Adieu Morioh - la jeunesse au coeur d'or
On voit Yuya une dernière fois saluer alors qu'elle monte au ciel à la toute fin de la partie.

Dans l'adaptation animée, on voit Yuya aller au restaurant de pour déjeuner avec ses copines, étant très satisfait des effets de la cuisine de Tonio sur son visage.
