Okuyasu Nijimura is one of the main characters in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable. The character is introduced as an antagonist, but quickly becomes Josuke's best friend.
About
Okuyasu isn't known to be the brightest character in the story, and tended to rely on his elder brother Keicho Nijimura to make hard decisions. After his brother died, he sought revenge against the User of Red Hot Chili Pepper, Akira Otoishi. During this time and the following events surrounding Yoshikage Kira, he became fast friends with Josuke and Koichi. Okuyasu tends to be jealous of Koichi's relationship with Yukiko, and enjoys Tonio's cooking. He also befriends Fatty, after doing battle with his Harvest with Josuke. This friendship is why became further enraged when Fatty was killed by Yoshikage Kira.
Okuyasu's father is a bizarre creature, mutated by Dio's spores when Okuyasu was only 7. He rather dislikes Rohan Kishibe because of what Rohan tried to do to him when they first met. Eventually Okuyasu seemingly "dies" after suffering mortal wounds during a battle with Yoshikage Kira, only to return after meeting his brother in a dream who asks him where he wants to go, and Okuyasu says "I want to go back to Morioh" which results in Okuyasu waking up.
Stand
Okuyasu's stand, The Hand, is a reference to the Canadian country rock band, The Band. The reference to this group is a misheard pronounciation of how Japanese would use the Ha or Ba sound.
The lyrics to the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" give insight to the nature of Okuyasu, as well as Keicho, and the theme of the the Nijimura Brothers chapters. 74.227.111.77 08:34, February 4, 2011 (UTC)JacobJoestar
