==Personality==
{{Nihongo|'''Pork Pie Hat Kid'''|ポーク・パイ・ハット小僧|Pōku Pai Hatto Kozō}} is a minor antagonist featured in ''[[Steel Ball Run]]''.
[[File:Pork Pie Hat Kid personality.png|thumb|Pork Pie Hat Kid is the type of person who drinks ink]]
Pork Pie Hat Kid appears to be a goofy and deranged individual. He seems to have little conception of normalcy and shows several disturbing habits. For instance, he has a tendency to eat and drink anything that comes into his view such as the ink of a pen (finding it delicious) or a whole coffee pot, and even wonders if he could eat his broken teeth. He is also shown hitting a bag with a rock to search it instead of opening it. Like any of Valentine's subordinates, he has little problem with using violence and killing his targets.
 
Likewise, his speech reflects his eccentricity as he cannot correctly pronounce Johnny's name and regularly utters the incomprehensible shout "{{Nihongo|Gwee-Gachang|ギイイーガシャン}}".
He is one of [[Funny Valentine]]'s henchmen and attacks [[Johnny Joestar]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli]] in the desert to take their [[Saint's Corpse|Saint Corpse Parts]].
 
His motivation for searching for the Corpse Parts is to get a promotion and be acknowledged as being "invincible and smart", hinting that he is aware that people look down on him and is uncomfortable with it.
==Appearance/Personality==
Pork Pie Hat Kid appears like a skinny and short young boy, hiding his bald head with bamboo sticks and wearing a tutu-like skirt.
 
Despite his quirks, Pork Pie Hat Kid is still shown to be a capable tactician in a Stand fight. Aware of his primary objective of securing the Corpse Parts, he takes the time to analyze the situation and is shown to devise several plans to counter his enemy's actions, at one point using Gyro as bait after having predicted that Johnny would come to save his companion or release Slow Dancer near Johnny to weaponize the horse' instinctual will to go to its rider and then detect the hidden Johnny.
He does not seem to be completely sane, drinking pen ink and attempting to taste his own fallen teeth. Nonetheless, he is very clever. In order to acquire the corpse, he uses a variety of tricks, such as exploiting Johnny's horse and burning the ground with gasoline to locate him, and using Gyro as bait.
 
==SynopsisAbilities==
===[[Stand]]===
After [[Minor Characters#Fritz von Stroheim|Fritz von Stroheim]]'s failed assassination attempt, Pork Pie Hat Kid uses [[Wired]] to kidnap [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] along with stealing the duo's luggage and horses, looking for something. [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] begins to understand that the enemy wasn't trying to kill them to get ahead in the race, but instead was looking for something they have: a [[Saint's Corpse|mummified hand]] that entered Johnny's body during their battle against the [[Boom Boom Family]]. Even Von Stroheim and [[Oyecomova]] were hunting for it.
{{Main|Wired}}
Pork Pie Hat Kid possesses a Stand ability named Wired consisting of two hooks coming out of his mouth, which he can freely control and make appear out of the bottom of miscellaneous objects, allowing him to attack his targets from afar.

==History==
Johnny realizes the enemy can attack from the distance, by transforming objects like feathers and bugs into bait that produces wired hooks with enough strength to lift a horse. Unfortunately, Johnny falls prey to the enemy but just as he is about to give up the corpse, [[Tusk|a strange creature]] emerges from the hand, awakening Johnny's ability to fire his own nails thus attacking Pork Pie Hat Kid.
===[[Tusk (Story Arc)|Tusk]]===
Pork Pie Hat Kid is one of [[Valentine's Subordinates]]. He is first seen standing guard on the roof of Valentine's train. When [[Lucy Steel]] almost spills a coffee pot on Valentine, Pork Pie Hat Kid uses [[Wired]] to take it and drink the whole pot before returning it to her. Pork Pie Hat Kid is then dispatched to find the [[Corpse Parts|Corpse Part]].
 
In the plains just before Monument Valley, Pork Pie Hat Kid sets up his trap. He sets camp on a rocky mound and installs his Stand to hook his targets through the falling feathers of nearby vultures.
Thanks to Gyro, Johnny finds out the enemy's position and manages to seemingly defeat him. Gyro was however turned into bait, and Pork Pie Hat Kid forces Johnny to give him the corpse, threatening to kill his friend. With the hand obtained, Pork Pie Hat Kid attempts to run away, but to his disadvantage, Gyro had managed to apply the [[Spin]] to the corpse's nails, marking Pork Pie Hat Kid's defeat.
 
[[File:pphkid searching.png|thumb|left|Searching for the Corpse in Johnny's stuff]]
According to the President's men, Pork Pie Hat Kid did not die, but for the confrontation with Johnny and Gyro, he will remain disabled for the rest of his life.<ref>[[SBR Chapter 28]]</ref>
Since it is suspected that [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] has the Corpse Part, Pork Pie Hat Kid targets him first. He hooks Gyro and then his horse right under [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]]'s nose. Gyro is hung on a rock nearby by the hair. He finds a broken pen and drinks its ink. However, Pork Pie Hat Kid doesn't find the Corpse Part and thus attacks Johnny. He takes Johnny's horse from under him and then tries to hook Johnny. However, Johnny escapes by cutting his cheek. Johnny also sees the method of Wired's attack and manages to hide under a rock.
 
Pork Pie Hat Kid changes from feathers to beetles, and Johnny knocks a beetle over, allowing Wired's hook to pass through and hook Johnny up close. However, [[Tusk]] appears and activates Johnny's toenails. The nails pass through the beetles and almost hit Pork Pie Hat Kid, who's forced to bend backward to avoid the attack and stop his own. When he looks in the bowl again, Johnny has camouflaged himself. He also realizes that Gyro has thrown a Steel Ball in the bowl to give his location. Frustrated, he knocks Gyro with his hooks but Pork Pie Hat Kid is ready for Johnny. As Johnny approaches, Pork Pie Hat Kid scans the land. Frustrated, he sends Slow Dancer back to Johnny so that the horse can sense its owner and go to his general location. Pork Pie Hat Kid then sends oil and a match, setting the ground on fire. He seemingly fires Johnny and tears him apart but Johnny has sculpted a decoy with his nails, Pork Pie Hat Kid is open and Johnny shoots him through the feather.
 
[[File:pphkid defeated.png|thumb|Gyro makes the Arm's nail spin and fly at Pork Pie Hat Kid's face]]
Pork Pie Hat Kid is wounded but waits for Johnny to come. He turns Gyro into bait and hooks Johnny through the Neapolitan when Johnny approaches him. Johnny is unable to hit him now. Pork Pie Hat Kid forces Johnny to give him the corpse part, threatening to kill his friend. With the hand obtained, Pork Pie Hat Kid attempts to run away and plans to dispose of the two anyway. However, Gyro has managed to apply the [[Spin]] to the Arm's nails; they shoot Pork Pie Hat Kid in the face, marking Pork Pie Hat Kid's defeat.
 
According to the President's men, Pork Pie Hat Kid did not die. However, due to his confrontation with Johnny and Gyro, he is seemingly beyond recovery.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 28}}</ref>
