Usagi Alohaoe
Usagi Alohaoe (ウサギ・アロハオエ, Usagi Arohaoe) is a primary ally featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.
He is first introduced as a student who buys drugs from Jodio Joestar and Paco Laburantes. Meryl Mei Qi then hires him as a fourth member of the gang's upcoming heist of a 24-carat blue diamond belonging to Rohan Kishibe. Usagi is a Stand user possessing THE MATTEKUDASAI which transforms his Stand into an object requested by someone else.
Appearance
Usagi is a slim, well-toned athletic teenager. He wears a tight form-fitting dark suit that covers most of his body aside from the face and hands. He has a few light-colored spiky bangs protruding from under the hood of his suit, which is tight enough to show that he has a short standard haircut save for the bangs and a small ponytail, which is covered by his hood.[2]
His suit is noticeably darker near the stomach. In addition, the suit is decorated with circular crests at the shoulders. Initially, the crests displayed art resembling legs wearing a garter belt,[2] but the symbol was later flipped upside down, now resembling legs in simple panties and high heels, as well as the outstretched arms of his Stand.[1]
Over his suit, Usagi wears a pair of light shorts with a thick stripe, as well as a backpack. Usagi's accessories include a light-colored beret and a black choker with a small buckle, although his initial appearance didn't feature them. Usagi also wears thick eyeliner.
Color Schemes
Personality
Usagi is a laid-back and irresponsible teenager. During his first appearance, he directly asks Jodio for drugs, even carelessly showing money for it in public on the school bus.[3] Usagi arrives late to an appointment with his accomplices and still merrily salutes them, making light of his tardiness and dismissing their concerns.[4] He acts recklessly during the diamond heist by not caring about how much evidence he leaves behind, as he attempts to steal several alcohol bottles from Rohan's villa.[5] He heedlessly disregards Dragona's warning about taking risks and immediately cuts open a painting on the wall just to look for a safe behind it.[6] He also chides Dragona for being nervous while they're browsing the luxury watches in Diamotch, but acts nervously himself afterward by saying the wrong watch brand name, worsening the clerk's suspicions of them.[7] Before starting their mission to get close to HOWLER's land deeds, Meryl Mei Qi stresses how important it is that they don't leave any evidence behind or do anything that causes witnesses to remember them. Regardless, Usagi immediately trips at the start of their mission and spills food that he brought inside, leading to three security guards surrounding him.[8]
Usagi has a habit of showing up with food ready to eat in his possession even in inappropriate situations. For example, he has brought a spam sandwich to his first meeting with other gangsters,[9] a drink to a second meeting to which he was late,[4] a fast food meal while waiting for their mission to begin,[10] and cup noodles with a drink on top of that after their mission began.[11]
Despite the crew's hostility, Usagi keeps on displaying a friendly behavior. He salutes them in an affectionate albeit loud manner and states that he looks forward to working with them.[12] During their mission, he proposes that they use codenames[13] and continues to call Dragona by the codename "Pink-chan" afterwards, even after Dragona asks him to stop.[7][8] He is an emotional and dramatic person, crying and feeling despair when Dragona is injured, and confessing his love for Dragona afterward even though they only knew each other for three days.[14] Although he is amiable with the group, he is also exploitative as he swindles them by pretending the car they were renting would cost more money than it actually does, so that he wouldn't have to pay for it.[15]
He is a client of Jodio and has asked him for drugs at least once.[16] However, Meryl claims that he is not a drug addict, and is actually a good student.[17] Nonetheless, Usagi later admits that he experimented with drugs two or three times in the past.[18] His odd behavior leads Jodio and the others to be skeptical of his nature despite Meryl's reassurance.[19]
Like Meryl claimed, Usagi is intelligent and often understands how to handle the situations the gang finds themselves in. He is knowledgeable of various facts, such as the difference between flasks and beakers which Paco and Dragona were unaware of, and explains to them what 'a'ā lava is.[20] Moreover, he knows of different endangered bird species in the jungle and admires how cool the place is.[21] Like Jodio, Usagi is inquisitive and manages to understand the basic properties of the Lava Rock, trying out various experiments to learn what it's capable of.[7] His clever plan to feed Wild Cat Size caviar and force them to be attracted to the Lava Rock saves the gang from their deaths.[22] He is also usually the first in the gang to realize when they are being attacked by a Stand and who the user may be, but his gangmates typically don't believe him.[23][24] He proves that he is quick-witted when he saves his own life by unhesitatingly piercing his chest with a box cutter so he can use a straw to perform tracheal intubation.[24]

Relationships
Gangmates
- Jodio Joestar: Usagi is in a higher grade than Jodio at their high school. Jodio is surprised when Meryl Mei Qi added him to the heist team but he trusts Meryl's word that Usagi is a good kid.[2] Usagi is impressed with Jodio being on the same wavelength as him and asks if they can be good friends someday, but Jodio refuses.[7]
- Dragona Joestar: Upon being introduced at first Dragona believed Usagi to be irresponsible, having an odd personality and being late to arrive at Kona Airport. Usagi responds to this by being more exuberant and giving Dragona humorous codenames like "Pink-chan".[1] After Dragona gets injured by Charming Man, Usagi yells out in fear for Dragona's life, crying.[25] Once Dragona saves themself from a fatal injury, Usagi sighs in relief, and admits that when he saw Dragona being harmed he felt "a sense of despair" wash over him, like he "was about to lose everything". Following this, he admits that this made him understand his feelings for Dragona, declaring his love for them. Dragona brushes this off and says they aren't particularly interested in that sort of thing.[26]
- Paco Laburantes: Paco despises Usagi, often telling him to shut up and claiming that Usagi is a drug addict based on his energetic personality.[1] He also immediately assumes Usagi betrayed the gang and threatens to kill him once he catches him. However, Paco is relieved when Usagi saves the group and warns Usagi to get out of the way from the cats' attack, thinking he's in danger.[22]
