Hacca Howler

Howler is a man with an athletic build and a young looking face. He has shoulder-length hair that is tied back. His hair is voluminous at the top styled in a jelly roll or elephant trunk, albeit with the front gap similar to a heart shape rather than a circle. Howler's beard looks like rectangular strips with gaps in between, going from the sides of his ears to his chin. The top strips of the beard are longer and angled toward his eyes.↗↗

He wears a light short sleeve shirt with notch collars, slightly exposing his upper chest. The shirt has a thick dark outline running down vertically from his collars to above the edge of his shirt, with the lines connecting horizontally at the back. His sleeves also have a dark line going across above the edge. He pairs the shirt with light shorts that have checkered hems.↗

Hacca Howler is a narcissistic businessman who indulges in a luxurious lifestyle, frequently flaunting his wealth and power. He takes pride in his family's legacy, refusing to surrender the land on the Hualalai north slope he inherited from his ancestor. He favors top-quality goods, knowing which areas of Hokkaido produce the best kombu and claiming he rides only in Rolls-Royce with the starlight headliner when being picked up or dropped off from airports.↗↗↗↗↗↗↗

Howler openly acts unethically, believing that his wealth could solve any problem, and admitting that his own actions of committing land fraud are villainous. He treats affection as something money can purchase, boasting that he could "buy all of Hokkaido" for his flight attendants and arguing that the environment would be protected better if he bought the land, despite wanting to build resorts on it. Later, he attempts to bribe the fake Dolphin Bank employees with $40 million each to erase his $30 billion debt.↗↗↗

Howler is mistrustful of others and has an explosive temper, especially when he is inconvenienced. He acts condescendingly to even his acquaintances and employees. For example, he rudely demands that Yokohama and the Dolphin Bank employees leave from his private immigration gate so that he could enter Hawaii, and constantly tells Key West to do her job. When his driver is forced to stop on the road due to protesters, Howler furiously fires him on the spot and immediately calls to have the entire public road purchased to make it his private property. He is openly contemptuous of the public and reporters, barking at his company's protesters to get out of his way.↗↗↗↗↗

Allies

Lulu: Howler is the boss of Lulu and suspected by Lulu to be her father, since he raised her along with his company's employees. Unlike his other employees, he trusts Lulu to handle the situation with retrieving the Lava Rock back from Jodio Joestar and his allies. He speaks to her affectionately, asking whether she's tired, and referring to her as "Lulu-chan". After she is taken hostage by the group, he tasks his other employees with finding her.↗↗↗↗

Bobby Jean: Bobby Jean works for Howler. Although Howler relies on him for handling the elimination of Jodio and the others, he does not trust Bobby with recovering the Lava Rock, explicitly telling Lulu that she has to be the one to find it.↗↗

Key West: Despite not remembering hiring her or her associates, he is shown to trust them enough to task them with investigating Paco Laburantes and retrieving Lulu. When Hacca's fear is exposed by Laem Chabang, she encourages him to be "imposing" and to not "fear or cower". She stays by Hacca's side during the investigation and urges him not to sign the land transfer documents. However, upon learning about the Lava Rock, she plans to betray him with Laem Chabang. Hacca thinks of her as a terrible lawyer and constantly yells at her to do her job.↗↗↗↗

Laem Chabang: Her nematodes expose Hacca's own fear of her and her associates, though she is still sent out with Ningbo to investigate. Laem Chabang's motivations involve money alone, and after learning about the Lava Rock, she opts to double cross Hacca with Key West.↗↗

Hacca's Grandfather: Hacca and his grandfather had a close relationship. His grandfather told him about the volcanic rock and its power, and his future responsibility to maintain the HOWLER Company in the future.↗↗
