Soundman is a secondary antagonist from Part VII: Steel Ball Run.

Synopsis

Soundman is the first character introduced in the series. He is a member of a Native American tribe who learned to read the "white man's" books. When the tribe discovers the books in his tepee, they hunt him down to scalp him. It is then that we see that Soundman has developed a special running technique that allows him to run long distances without having to rest.

Soundman appears again on the Michigan lakeline, with a stand of his own: In a Silent Way. He works alongside Dio and uses their combination to create dinosaurs that carry sound-effects. It is there that he fights with Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli. During the fight, Soundman seriously wounds Gyro, but becomes overconfident in thinking that he will kill Johnny, who uses his newfound Golden Rectangle technique to injure an overconfident Soundman, leading to his death.

Trivia

  • During the showdown between him and Johnny Joestar, Soundman corrects Johnny after he incorrectly calls him Sandman. He goes on to say that the name "Sandman" was mistakenly given to him "by your (Johnny's) people." Soundman continues on to say that "Soundman" is in fact, his actual name and that his tribesmen call him "the one who creates sound" in their native tongue.
  • He has an unnamed sister who beats him often.
