In March 1999, Karaiya somehow steals Petsounds from his cage in Cairo, Egypt, and brings the parrot with them to Morioh, Japan. They work in Morioh as a police officer in the Budogaoka Police Station.
Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak
Karaiya first controls Petsounds to use its Stand on the police inspector, Hiraoka. While driving to work, Hiraoka runs over several pedestrians and nearly crashes into Hol Horse.[2]
At the Budogaoka Police Station, Karaiya takes interest when Boingo mentions that he lost a manga. Ryohei asks Karaiya to escort Boingo back to his hotel. Before they leave, Karaiya hopes that Ryohei could get a promotion someday for his hard work and passion.[1]
Later, Karaiya has Petsounds use its ability to possess a group of chefs. Watching from an alley, Karaiya witnesses Hol Horse using his Stand to defend himself and is excited to learn that there are other Stand users in Morioh.[3]
Karaiya gives Koji Kiyohara permission to kill whoever he wants in Morioh's subway, while also having Petsounds attack Josuke and Hol Horse. However, Kiyohara and Petsounds are both defeated by the duo, allowing Ryohei to arrest Kiyohara.[4] While Kiyohara is in his jail cell, he sees a memory of Karaiya sitting beside him in a police car. Karaiya asks him how it felt to lose and then screams at Kiyohara when he doesn't answer the question. Petsounds then appears behind Karaiya and activates its Stand ability on Kiyohara, causing him to shriek in his cell.[5]
