Koji Hirose (Universe 37)

Background

Koji Hirose is a sixteen-year-old high school student at Budogaoka Academy in Morioh, who is friends with Muryotaisu Nijimura, Fukashigi Nijimura, and Rohan Kishibe (Universe 37) Incarnation of Rohan Kishibe in the 37th universe. He is also the boyfriend of Yamagishi.↗

One day, Shigetaka Yangu 's dog brings a severed hand to his owner with unique nail polish. Koji and his friends are able to figure out where the nail polish was sold. They learn that it had been purchased by a man, which the store owner thought was unusual enough and remembered his name, Yoshikage Kira (Universe 37) Incarnation of Yoshikage Kira in the 37th universe. The hand belonged to a woman that Kira killed and had been toying with.↗

Koji is the first to find Kira and nearly dies until the Nijimura brothers arrive to help. However, Kira manages to escape and forces Aya Tsuji (Universe 37) Incarnation of Aya Tsuji in the 37th universe to use her Stand Face Off to switch his appearance with a random passerby. Kira then kills Aya as well as Shigetaka as a warning not to interfere with him.↗↗

2012

Along with the Nijimura brothers, Koji rings the doorbell of Rohan's house to try finding him. They confront Jorge Joestar who is inside the house assuming he did something to Rohan, mentioning that nobody had seen Rohan for two weeks. Koji observes Jorge's actions while Fukashigi threatens him.↗

After trusting Jorge, Koji reveals his Stand Blue Thunder and what it could do, though he believes it looks quite lame. Jorge asks Rohan to use Heaven's Door on Muryotaisu and Koji, allowing them to see "astral projections" created by Arrow Cross House. Suddenly, Morioh has an earthquake and a chasm opens along its borders. Koji flies into the air with his Stand and reports that Morioh somehow detached off of Japan and became its own island, sailing on the sea.↗↗

Jorge questions how Koji and the others knew Kira's name without actually catching him, leading to Koji telling the story of their friend Shigetaka. Morioh changes direction causing Arrow Cross House to spin to the left. A soldier in a SDF helicopter above the dome loses his balance and slides along the dome. Koji uses Blue Thunder to save the soldier, who gives him a top secret message for Morioh's mayor. The message stated that if nothing changes, the American army will flip the island.↗

Muryotaisu summons his Stand Grand Blue and the group gets onto a dolphin, flying away toward the school like rockets. Koji feels unsettled about how empty the roads were. By the time they reached Jozenji, they found the temple had burned to the ground. The remains of the walls and floor were covered in drawings of moths and the citizens there had set themselves on fire.↗↗

Passione gangsters from Nero Nero Island attack Morioh and Koji hides in a garage. He reunites with Jorge and uses Blue Thunder on him, allowing Jorge to fly. The two fly through the neighborhood and find the Nijimura brothers in a factory. Koji tells them that several Passione members jumped into Morioh and kidnapped all the citizens in the school gym.↗↗

Later, Koji watches the investigation of the George Joestar from the original universe, after he ends up in the 37th universe. Following George's request, all of the clocks in the house are brought to the study by Koji, Rohan, Muroytaisu, and Fukashigi. After Rohan says something that depresses Reimi, Koji and the Nijimura twins scold Rohan for his rudeness, leading Rohan to finally realize his thoughtlessness.↗↗
