Anjuro Katagiri (片桐 安十郎, Katagiri Anjūrō) (more often known as as Angelo (アンジェロ, Anjero)) is an early antagonist appearing in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.

Appearance/Personality

Angelo is a sick criminal, some even say that he is cursed to be an evil man, who doesn't care about other people's lives. He agrees with everything said about him, but doesn't feel the need to change. Angelo is also a pervert, guilty of raping three young boys and planning to rape Tomoko Higashikata. When defeated, he demonstrated that he was a hypocritical man, pointing at Josuke and saying that he didn't have the right to judge him when Angelo himself did the exact same things.

Synopsis

History

At the age of 12, Angelo was convicted for robbery and rape, and since then spent 20 years of his life in prison. He becomes known as one of the biggest criminals in Japan, having been guilty of the rape and murder of three boys, on March 1994. At the time, he was finally arrested by Ryohei Higashikata, and obtained his stand in prison using the Bow and Arrow, presumably from Keicho Nijimura. He was hung in October, but was unable to die and escapes two weeks later after the failed execution. Once out of prison, Angelo goes on killing spree, getting people to drink his watery stand before using it to cause their heads to be torn apart from within, as well as possessing people's bodies to commit crimes.

Diamond is Unbreakable

Angelo, now a town landmark.

Angelo was detected by Hermit Purple as a man representing danger to Josuke Higashikata. Angelo met Josuke after his plan to use an ordinary man to commit an robbery was foiled by Josuke. As an act of vengeance against Josuke and Ryohei, Angelo tricked and killed Ryohei, planning to do the same to Josuke and then assault his mother. Angelo waited until a rainy day came to get an advantage over Jotaro and Josuke in Josuke's home.

He was eventually defeated and smashed to pieces by Crazy Diamond's fists into a rock. Josuke then restored him and the rock at the same time, fusing them. Angelo then tried to take a kid as a hostage with his stand, but insulted Josuke's hair and as a result Josuke fused him even more with the rock, effectively turning Angelo into a hideous statue that becomes a historical landmark for Morioh. Josuke eventually waved to Angelo when passing by the rock, a habit Koichi Hirose also developed to imitate Josuke.
