Trivia

  • Giorno's name written in katakana is not ゴルノ・ゴバアーナ (Goruno Gobana) or ギョルノ・ギョバアーナ (Gyoruno Gyobana), but as ジョルノ・ジョバアーナ (Joruno Jobana). This is to reflect the pronunciation of GioGio in Italian.
  • Giorno is the only JoJo confirmed not to have been born a JoJo; he was born Haruno Shiobana. His name in Romaji also shows that he is the only JoJo without the letter "J" in his name.
  • Giorno's hair was originally a black bowl cut. However, when his stand powers awakened, his hair became gold and spiked with spiral-like bangs. This hairstyle is also associated with chocolate cornets: the notation "@@@" refers to Giorno's unique hairstyle and is often used by fans to refer to him.
  • Giorno takes after his father's "Muda Muda Muda..." battle cry, only shouting the last "Muda" as a finishing blow. He also pulls off a "WRYYYYYY!" during his fight with Cioccolata.
  • Giorno's favorite musical is Les Misérables; his least favorite foods are chicken and especially duck.
  • A common aspect of Giorno's wardrobe involves wearing ladybug-themed jewelry, and his Stand also sports ladybug insignias. As ladybugs symbolically represent good luck throughout Europe, and it is considered bad luck to kill one, this can represent Gold Experience's powers of returning damage back to the attacker of its creations.
  • In an interview, Araki stated that he based Giorno's appearance on Michelangelo's "David". The cover of volume 62 was based off a Renaissance painting as well.
  • Giorno is the second blond character with a pigtail who lost a hand who was voiced by Romi Paku, the first having been Edward Elric of Fullmetal Alchemist.
  • Along with Kakyoin in the Capcom fighting game and Josuke (Jojolion) in All Star Battle (Both voiced by Mitsuaki Madono) and William Zeppeli in the Phantom Blood movie and Yoshikage Kira in ASB (Rikiya Koyama), both Koichi Hirose and Giorno are the only characters to have the same voice actress, Romi Park, in different games. Romi Park voiced Giorno in the Part 5 PS2 game and Koichi in "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle ".
  • By the end of Stone Ocean Giorno is one of three JoJo's who was not killed prior to Made In Heaven's universal reset. The other two being Joseph & Josuke, but It is assumed that Pucci indirectly killed them as well.
  • In Araki's top Ten Favourite Characters in 2000, Giorno ranked 5th, Arakis second favorite JoJo and third favorite Part 5 character. While Mista ranked as 7th, Diavolo as 4th, & Bucellati as 3rd.
  • Giorno, Joseph, Josuke, and Jonathan , are the only Jojo protagonists to completly lose the battles they faced were in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle League.
