Entrance Dialogue
Shigechi: Those who test me learn the hard way! Okuyasu: Moron! I'm sick of hearing your stupid voice!
A character from Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable. He is the user of the StandHarvest. He often goes by the nickname "Shigechi," and is fond of the phrases "~dado" and "shishi." Although greedy, he is not entirely unlikable. He encounters the murderer Yoshikage Kira and dies by explosion, but is able to have Harvest deliver the killer's jacket button to Josuke, leaving behind a clue that leads to Kira's discovery.[3]
