Mikitaka Hazekura (支倉 未起隆, Hazekura Mikitaka), de son autoproclamé "vrai" nom Nu Mikitakazo Nshi (ヌ・ミキタカゾ・ンシ), est un personnage secondaire et allié figurant dans la quatrième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable, apparaissant dans les arcs "Je suis un Alien" et "Pylône tout confort".
Mikitaka prétend être un extraterrestre venu visiter la Terre, mais sa véritable nature est confuse et rien n'est confirmé sur lui. Il possède une capacité de métamorphose pouvant être liée à un Stand nommée Earth Wind and Fire.
Mikitaka a l'apparence d'un jeune homme plutôt fin mais de taille supérieure à la moyenne. Il a des oreilles pointues assez caractéristiques. Il a aussi de longs cheveux clairs qui lui tombe à l'arrière de la tête. Il porte une chaîne au nez durant les premiers chapitres où il apparaît, mais ne l'a plus dans les chapitres ultérieurs.
Il porte un uniforme scolaire sombre et ample qu'il a modifié en y ajoutant des pins le long du milieu de la poitrine en forme de soucoupe volante, d'étoile et de symbole d'infinité (∞), lequel a aussi des symboles de la lune et du soleil dans les boucles. Sa veste a aussi des bretelles horizontales sur les côtés des hanches.
Le trait de personnalité le plus marquant de Mikitaka est qu'il prétend être un extra-terrestre âgé de 216 ans. La vérité sur sa condition est inconnue et on ne sait pas si Mikitaka est réellement un extra-terrestre, s'il joue la comédie, ou bien s'il est un humain qui croit simplement qu'il est un extra-terrestre. Quelle que soit la vérité, Mikitaka démontre une complète méconnaissance des us et coutumes terrien, étant cependant curieux et intéressé par les humains. Par exemple, lorsque Josuke lui tend un mouchoir, Mikitaka le mange et dit que c'est délicieux. Mikitaka est un individu placide et pacifique. On dit qu'il adore les animaux et a une souris de compagnie. Il explique aussi qu'il est venu en paix sur Terre, et qu'il a donc laissé ses armes dans son vaisseau spatial. Il semble être quelque peu vexé et agacé que Okuyasu ne le prenne pas au sérieux.
Mikitaka est aussi amical et courageux. Il se lie d'amitié avec Josuke et Okuyasu, leur offrant des glaces (créées à partir de sa propre personne) après que Josuke lui ait offert un mouchoir à manger. Durant le combat dans Super Fly, Mikitaka intervient pour assister son ami Josuke et était prêt à se sacrifier pour libérer Josuke de la tour.
Mikitaka has an odd quirk where he detests the sound of sirens. Hearing just one causes him to writhe in agony and his skin to turn red, while desperately trying to find some way to escape it.
Le pouvoir de Mikitaka est nommé "Earth, Wind and Fire" et est souvent comparé à un Stand. Son pouvoir permet à Mikitaka de se transformer en presque n'importe quoi. Cependant, il ne peut pas se transformer en objets trop complexes, ne peut pas copier l'apparence d'une personne, et ne peut pas copier un objet plus puissant q'il ne l'est.
While looking for more people to transform into Stand users in order to protect his son, Yoshihiro Kira was guided by the Arrow into piercing its sixth target Mikitaka. However, the Arrow didn't pierce him perfectly, bouncing off of his neck instead and leaving the boy with just a scratch.
The following morning, Josuke Higashikata and Okuyasu Nijimura discover a series of mystery circles in the middle of a crop field: half-buried in the crop of the larger central circle lies Mikitaka. He is wakened up by Josuke and Okuyasu's arrival and his strange personality is immediately revealed: instead of introducing himself, he asks if he is currently on planet Earth and claims to be an alien. The protagonists think he's just kidding, but when he eats Josuke's handkerchiefs and pulls two frozen ice-creams out of his bag, they realize there's something strange about him.
He finally reveals his name to be Nu Mikitakazo Nshi (ヌ・ミキタカゾ・ンシ), a 216-year-old space pilot. He says his planet lies within the Magellanic clouds and is slowly dying, and that he came to Earth to see if it was a nice planet and if its inhabitants were friendly. As a fire truck passes by, its noise causes Mikitaka to experience a violent skin reaction. He begs Josuke to take him away, revealing his transformation power for the first time.
Josuke, now believing Mikitaka to be an alien, asks him to return the favor, by exploiting the alien's ability and making him assume the shape of three dice. The two new friends then play dice with Rohan Kishibe in order to cheat some free cash out of him. Despite the mangaka's suspicions and Mikitaka's discomfort, Rohan remains unable to figure out Josuke's trickery as the game is slowly ending. Only then sirens start ringing nearby, which immediately sends both Josuke and Mikitaka into a panic as the latter begins to disorientate due to his circumstance. It was found out that the sirens are in fact triggered by the fire at Rohan's house, as it is started by the magnifying glass he had carelessly tossed away earlier after examining the dice. This creates a distraction which Josuke uses to withdraw from the match and run away, bringing Mikitaka along with him, thus leaving the game unfinished.
Later on when they are running (away from Rohan), Mikitaka asks Josuke about whether or not he was able to be help of him during the game, to which Josuke, out of frustration, responds by telling him to shut up.
The following day, Josuke meets Mikitaka's supposed mother, who reveals that they had to move from Tokyo because of her son's obsession with aliens. Mikitaka, on the other hand, explains to Josuke that his "mother" is just a human woman he hypnotized to make her believe he is her son. He then departs with his mother to do the paperwork for his school transfer, leaving Josuke and Yoshihiro Kira, who is observing nearby, extremely confused about Mikitaka's real identity.
Later in the story, Josuke and Okuyasu meet Mikitaka again, staring at an abandoned telephone tower while assuming the form of a pair of binoculars. After a short exchange of words, Mikitaka expresses that he found the tower unnatural and was waiting there in order to show them, which upon closer inspection it turns out to be true as there is smoke coming out from it. Mikitaka then returns into this binoculars form to help Josuke and Okuyasu investigate the tower, only to find out there is actually a person living up there in a seemingly self-sustainable fashion complete with various furniture, a set of essential installments and a farm field for herbs and vegetables.
The mysterious person notices the three and introduces himself as the tower's legal owner, stating that he has been living on it the past 3 years as his home. Although initially approaching the tower with suspicion, Josuke drops his guard down upon seeing Yoshihiro Kira there and recklessly enters the tower despite Okuyasu and even the tower's owner, Toyohiro Kanedaichi's warning. It is then quickly revealed that Toyohiro and Yoshihiro are in fact, allied in a scheme of bringing Josuke into Super Fly's prison and Toyohiro's previous attitude was all an act. The tower's owner immediately makes his escape through climbing the unused electrical cable, but thanks to Mikitaka, who transformed into the cable, secretly replaces the one which Toyohiro is climbing and thus, he is able to stop the tower owner's "Old Maid" plan and bring him back into the tower, freeing Josuke.
However, Toyohiro exploits his Stand's property of force reflection to trap and pinning Mikitaka onto the tower, thus resuming his escape. Josuke attempts to help but is stopped by Mikitaka, saying that he is fine with being left there as he wishes to repay for accidentally dragging the duo with him into this situation by asking them to investigate the tower in the first place. Nevertheless, Josuke enters and challenges Toyohiro in a duel.
After a fierce battle, Toyohiro is defeated. He confesses that he really meant no ill will as he really just desires to get out of the prison his own Stand locks him into, which leads him to be easily manipulated into cooperation by Yoshihiro Kira. Toyohiro has since then changed his mind and decided to not leave the tower ever again, releasing the three as well as offers them wound treatment and food.
After Toyohiro's defeat, Mikitaka only reappears at the end of Part 4 with the other protagonists to say goodbye to Reimi.

After the final battle with Yoshikage Kira, he is seen talking to Toyohiro on the tower and keeping him company.
Mikitaka's powers seem more likely to be the result of a Stand ability bound to his body (like Yellow Temperance or Khnum) than an alien nature, but behaving as if he has always possessed them, doubt is cast on the otherwise reliable touch of the Arrow. An enigmatic character, Mikitaka's true nature is never revealed by Araki, and evidence exists for both an alien and human nature.
