Kazuki Karaiya

Background

When Karaiya was young, his grandfather Mogizo Karaiya advised him not to open his heart to humans because of how shallow they are. Before World War II, Mogizo was at St. Moritz, Switzerland for an intelligence operation, where he experienced something that transcended all of creation. Mogizo never shared the truth with his son since he was already born by the time Mogizo became a vampire, but he decided to tell his grandson since he felt that both of them were similar.↗↗↗

After growing older, Karaiya started working in Morioh as a police officer in the Budogaoka Police Station. In March 1999, Keicho Nijimura stole Pet Sounds in Cairo, Egypt, and brought the parrot with him to Morioh. At some point, Karaiya retrieves the parrot from Keicho; Hol Horse assumes that he confiscated the bird. Karaiya shares a piece of his body with Pet Sounds, linking their souls together and making them share the same Stand.↗↗↗↗

Attacking Hol Horse

Karaiya first controls Pet Sounds to use its Stand on the police inspector, Hiraoka. While driving to work, Hiraoka runs over several pedestrians and nearly crashes into Hol Horse.↗↗

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 ominously hopes that Ryohei could get a promotion someday for his hard work and passion.↗↗

Later, Karaiya has Pet Sounds 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.↗↗

Manipulating Kiyohara

Without directly meeting him, Karaiya gives Koji Kiyohara permission to kill whoever he wants, while also having Pet Sounds attack Josuke and Hol Horse. However, Kiyohara and Pet Sounds are both defeated by the duo, allowing Ryohei to arrest Kiyohara. 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. When Kiyohara doesn't answer the question but instead asks who Karaiya is, Karaiya screams at him.↗↗↗

Retrieving Tohth

Karaiya looks at the civilians around him and feels that he is superior to all of them. Recalling his grandfather 's words from when he was younger, Karaiya has full faith that he can crush anyone that stands in his way. Karaiya walks up to Boingo, who is taking shelter from the rain, and asks if he needs a hand searching for his book. However, Karaiya actually incapacitates Boingo and carries him with one arm while looking for Tohth.↗↗

Final Battle

Karaiya then uses Boingo as bait to lure Josuke into a trap. Despite Josuke's caution, he falls for it and Pet Sounds is able to attack him. Josuke and Boingo manage to break free from the illusion thanks to Josuke's Stand, causing Karaiya to grind his teeth in anger wondering what kind of ability Josuke has. He assures that no matter what tricks Josuke uses next, he will never win against the abundant memories Pet Sounds has stocked up.↗↗↗

Karaiya attempts to have Josuke hear The World 's Stand cry, which he claims is the most powerful sound. Pet Sounds plays the sound with its Stand and Karaiya boasts about taking his place far above humans and looking down on everyone. Fortunately, Josuke is unharmed and only complains about his ears ringing. He had previously broken Pet Sounds's beak when he punched the parrot earlier to escape the D'Arby illusion.↗↗

Ryohei and the other officers eventually recover a handgun at the construction site, and also find Karaiya strung up on a nearby tree. Karaiya had taken the gun without permission from a colleague. The upper management of the police force struggle with the decision of whether to treat him as retiring due to mental illness or to dismiss him for violating the code of conduct. They aren't able to interrogate him as he is mentally unfit to answer any of their questions.↗↗↗
