Usagi Alohaoe
Usagi Alohaoe (ウサギ・アロハオエ, Usagi Arohaoe) is a primary ally featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.
He is first introduced as a student who buys drugs from Jodio Joestar and Paco Laburantes. Meryl Mei Qi then hires him as a fourth member of the gang's upcoming heist of a 24-carat blue diamond belonging to Rohan Kishibe. Usagi is a Stand user possessing THE MATTEKUDASAI which transforms his Stand into an object requested by someone else.
Appearance
Usagi is a slim, well-toned, athletic teenager. He wears a tight form-fitting dark suit that covers most of his body aside from the face and hands. He has a few light-colored spiky bangs protruding from under the hood of his suit, which is tight enough to show that he has a short standard haircut save for the bangs and a small ponytail, which is covered by his hood.[2]
His suit is noticeably darker near the stomach. In addition, the suit is decorated with circular crests at the shoulders. Initially, the crests displayed art resembling legs wearing a garter belt,[2] but the symbol was later flipped upside down, now resembling legs in simple panties and high heels, as well as the outstretched arms of his Stand.[1]
Over his suit, Usagi wears a pair of light shorts with a thick stripe, as well as a backpack. Usagi's accessories include a light-colored beret and a black choker with a small buckle, although his initial appearance didn't feature them. Usagi also wears thick eyeliner.
Color Schemes
Personality
Usagi Alohaoe is scatter-brained, tardy,[3] and hedonistic, but trusted by Meryl Mei Qi to accompany her crew. Typically acting as the "airhead" of the group, Usagi tends to disregard simple instructions and is easily distracted by food[4][5] and money.[6][7] He has a habit of showing up with food ready to eat even in inappropriate situations. Prior to the mission to acquire HOWLER's land deeds, Meryl stressed the importance of leaving no trace or witness. Characteristically, Usagi trips and spills food all over the floor of the land registry in front of several armed guards,[8] causing Lulu and Bobby Jean to be able to track down his team later.[9] Usagi's behavior leads Jodio and the others to distrust him.[10] However, they eventually believe he is useful and try saving his life from Bags Groove's attack.[9]
Though the group often chides Usagi, he remains friendly towards all of them to a comical degree.[11] He's especially fond of Dragona, calling them "Pink-chan"[8][12] and confessing his love for them after knowing each other for only three days.[13] Although he is amiable with his crew, Usagi is still a sleazy teenager and swindles them by pretending their rented car was pricier than reality so he wouldn't have to pay for it.[14]
Usagi is fairly inquisitive and manages to ascertain the basic properties of the Lava Rock by messing around with it.[12] He is also comparatively more educated than the rest of Meryl's crew,[15] and Meryl herself states that he's an accomplished student.[16] For example, he explains to Paco and Dragona about the difference between flasks and beakers, as well as what 'a'ā lava is.[15] He also knows of different endangered bird species in the jungle,[17] and devises a clever plan to save the crew during their encounter with Wild Cat Size by serving them caviar to attract them to the Lava Rock.[18] He is usually the first in the gang to realize when they are being attacked by a Stand and who the user may be, but his gangmates typically don't believe him until they see more proof.[19][20]
Usagi is an emotional and dramatic person, crying often when he or his teammates are injured.[9][13] Nonetheless, he shows his bravery and determination when he saves his own life by unhesitatingly piercing his chest with a box cutter so he can use a straw to perform tracheal intubation.[20]
Usagi is a client of Jodio and bought drugs off him prior to his recruitment.[21] He later admits that although he experimented with drugs two or three times in the past, he is not an addict.[22]

Relationships
Gangmates
- Jodio Joestar: Usagi is in a higher grade than Jodio at their high school. Jodio is surprised when Meryl Mei Qi added him to the heist team but he trusts Meryl's word that Usagi is a good kid.[2] Usagi is impressed with Jodio being on the same wavelength as him and asks if they can be good friends someday, but Jodio refuses.[12]
- Dragona Joestar: Upon being introduced at first Dragona believed Usagi to be irresponsible, having an odd personality and being late to arrive at Kona Airport. Usagi responds to this by being more exuberant and giving Dragona humorous codenames like "Pink-chan".[1] After Dragona gets injured by Charming Man, Usagi yells out in fear for Dragona's life, crying.[23] Once Dragona saves themself from a fatal injury, Usagi sighs in relief, and admits that when he saw Dragona being harmed he felt "a sense of despair" wash over him, like he "was about to lose everything". Following this, he admits that this made him understand his feelings for Dragona, declaring his love for them. Dragona brushes this off and says they aren't particularly interested in that sort of thing.[13]
- Paco Laburantes: Paco despises Usagi, often telling him to shut up and claiming that Usagi is a drug addict based on his energetic personality.[1] He also immediately assumes Usagi betrayed the gang and threatens to kill him once he catches him. However, Paco is relieved when Usagi saves the group and warns Usagi to get out of the way from the cats' attack, thinking he's in danger.[18]
