Oingo
Oingo (オインゴ) is a tertiary antagonist featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders, specifically the ""Khnum" Oingo and "Tohth" Boingo" story arc.
As the wielder of Khnum of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods, which allows him to disguise himself as another person, Oingo attempts to assassinate the Joestar Group alongside his younger brother Boingo.
Appearance
Oingo is a young man of average to above-average height and a muscular build, having long, dark hair and a long face. His attire consists of a T-shirt bearing a stylized version of his name, over which he wears a light vest, baggy jeans, gloves, and an unusually tall cap with an oversized visor. In the anime, his shirt bears a stylized design of his Khnum's Glory God card.
Color Schemes
Personality
Like all of DIO's servants, Oingo is an evil character, although in a more petty way than most. He is an assassin and thus has no problem trying to murder the heroes. In a lighter way, Oingo is also petty enough to pick on people weaker than himself and when he was frustrated that an assassination attempt went wrong, he punched a random man on the street whose face happened to anger him and happily took his fallen wallet with him.
Oingo has an unshakeable confidence in the combination of his Khnum and Tohth, which allows them to set up assassinations easily. However, during their appearance arc, a stroke of bad luck turned the combination against him. Oingo thus had to face the prospect of being the victim of his own bomb as he was stuck in a car disguised as Jotaro and with Polnareff and Joseph preventing him from reverting his disguise. Oingo arguably showed some level of determination in trying to keep up his disguise while trying to escape, but in the end he recognized defeat and thought that killing the heroes was impossible.
Oingo has a very close relationship with his brother Boingo and is protective of his shy little brother. Keeping near him constantly, Oingo ironically tells him not to talk to strangers because there are bad men everywhere although they serve DIO. When Boingo decided to take revenge and try to kill the heroes alone, Oingo showed pride in the spiritual growth of his little brother.
Abilities
Stand
Khnum confers Oingo the ability to remodel his appearance, voice and even smell. This allows him to put on several disguises when trying to assassinate his targets.
History
Stardust Crusaders (1989)
Oingo is first shown threatening one comic artist interested in Tohth to stay away from Boingo and then decides with help from Boingo's Stand Tohth to wait four hours for the next bus, as the Stand warns them about an accident with the bus. The brothers then look into Tohth for the next prediction and realize that they were meant to poison the Joestar group's tea. Oingo secretly assaults one of the waiters at a nearby restaurant and takes his place. At the same time, Jean Pierre Polnareff lets a cigarette fall, which points to their restaurant.
Initially, the group decides to order tea, but a suspicious Joseph Joestar decides to order the unopened coke instead. This seems to prevent Oingo from poisoning the drink at first, but an angry customer reacts to the warm coke he was served, causing the Joestar group to order the tea that Oingo successfully poisons.
Right as the group is about to drink their tea, Iggy eats another customer's cake and causes the Joestar group to abandon their tea to take care of Iggy and leave shop, which makes Oingo and Boingo angry. Eventually, following Tohth's prophecy, Oingo punches a nerdy-looking stranger and frightens him into dropping his wallet, giving the two money and temporarily pacifying them for their failure.Next, the brother consult Tohth again and the book predicts that Jotaro will be taken out by a bomb. Encouraged, Oingo breaks into the heroes' car and tries to sneak in a bomb enveloped in an orange peel. However, Joseph and Polnareff return and Oingo is forced to disguise himself as Jotaro to save himself for the moment. The disguise backfires and Oingo is dragged into the same car where he placed the bomb with Polnareff and Joseph in the front seats, meaning he cannot shed his Jotaro disguise either. Oingo realizes he may well be the Jotaro who will be retired by the bomb.
Oingo initially tries to prevent the bomb by throwing it out of the window, but Iggy fetches the bomb and brings it back into the car. Polnareff then demonstrates a cigarette trick, in which he lets a cigarette fall into his mouth, and calmly breathes out the smoke, and asks "Jotaro" to show him the trick with five cigarettes. Oingo pulls off the trick but fails when he is forced to prove himself by drinking the juice while the cigarettes smolder. The result causes him to spit it out, and his stomach eventually acts up when he becomes paranoid that Joseph and Polnareff are secretly testing him to see if he is really Jotaro. Polnareff decides to race "Jotaro" in eating oranges the fastest but Oingo, realizing the orange that Polnareff picked up was the bomb, stops him from doing so and suggests that since the "orange" was picked up by Iggy, it could have been contaminated in any kind of unsanitary location.
Fed up with having to deal with Joseph and Polnareff, Oingo runs off to the rocks to escape, using a bathroom break as an excuse, and resolves to escape by changing his appearance behind the rocks again. However, Polnareff, considering the truth of "Jotaro"'s statement, throws the disguised bomb out of the car. Oingo then accidentally steps on the bomb, causing it to blow up and split his face in two.
Boingo then arrives and resolves to defeat the Joestar group on his own, causing Oingo to become proud of his younger brother's growth. However, the man they assaulted earlier returns with other thugs, who beat up the two brothers and send them to the hospital. Meanwhile, the real Jotaro returns from visiting the hospital, and, happening to be thirsty, picks out an orange to eat.
Oingo is later mentioned by Hol Horse, who convinces Boingo to help him asking if he doesn't want to avenge his brother. Hol Horse stated Oingo had another month in the hospital due to his injuries from the orange bomb.
Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak
It is revealed that Oingo survived his ordeal and that the Speedwagon Foundation left him be. Ten years after the events of Stardust Crusaders, Oingo still lives with his little brother Boingo in Egypt. According to Hol Horse, Oingo tried to get into a relationship several times but has been dumped each time, leaving him depressed. By March 1999, Oingo and Boingo have been freeloading at Mariah and Kenny G.'s house for a month, but Hol Horse doesn't see him.[3]
Oingo is also targeted by gangs wanting to collect money he owes them. Once Hol Horse and Boingo complete their mission in Morioh, they head back to Egypt to save Oingo.[4]

Creation and Development
Due to copyright laws, Oingo and Boingo were renamed "Zenyatta" and "Mondatta" respectively in VIZ Media's translation, after The Police album of the same name. In the anime, however, they are still referred to by their Japanese names on Tohth's cover. Their original names were later used in VIZ's English JoJonium release.
Video Games
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SFC)
Oingo and Boingo are reduced to a supporting role in the game, and they don't use their respective Stands at all.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (PS1)
Oingo or Oing in the English localization, appears as a special battle in Super Story Mode. His fight is a simple "quick time event" mini-game, where Oingo must perform the correct moves to follow Tohth's prediction. Though unfortunately for Oingo, following the predictions means his own defeat after the orange-bomb-contraption-thing explodes in his own face.
Oingo is also part of Book Mode, standing alongside Boingo on the first page.
(予言は必ずあたる! Yogen wa Kanarazu Ataru!)
The group rushes to Aswan to drop Kakyoin and an injured Avdol off at a hospital. Following them are Oingo, user of the disguise Stand Khnum, and his brother Boingo, wielder of the future-predicting book of Thoth. Though Avdol's injuries are light, Kakyoin will have to be left behind due to his serious wounds. For now, the three active heroes stop at a cafe, where Oingo disguises himself as a waiter and poisons their tea. The group drinks the poison, but Iggy interferes and causes them to spit it out. Undiscouraged, the brothers continue following the party, attacking an ugly man on the way for no reason. The two brothers catch up to the Joestar group as they prepare to drive to the hospital. Oingo, disguised as Jotaro, plants a bomb in an orange inside the car, only to be blown up himself. As the Joestar group drives off, the ugly man returns with a gang behind him to assault the two brothers, hospitalizing them.
Secret Factor: The brothers were retired without a fight. (兄弟は仲良くリタイアしてしまいました)
