Sandman

Soundman is a secondary antagonist from Part VII: Steel Ball Run.

Synopsis
Soundman is the first character introduced in the series. He is a member of a Native American tribe who learned to read the "white man's" books. When the tribe discovers the books in his tepee, they hunt him down to scalp him. It is then that Soundman is revealed to have developed a special running technique that allows him to run long distances without having to rest.

Soundman appears again on the Michigan lakeline, with a stand of his own. He works alongside Diego Brando and uses their combination to create dinosaurs that carry sound-effects. It is there that he fights with Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli. During the fight, Soundman seriously wounds Gyro, but becomes overconfident in thinking that he will kill Johnny, who uses his newfound Golden Rectangle technique to injure an overconfident Soundman, leading to his death.

Trivia

 * Soundman's running ability is most likely based on the Tarahumara Native American tribe, whose people are known for long distance running of 200 miles (320 km) without rest.
 * During the showdown between him and Johnny Joestar, Soundman corrects Johnny after he incorrectly calls him Sandman. He goes on to say that the name "Sandman" was mistakenly given to him "by your (Johnny's) people." Soundman continues on to say that "Soundman" is in fact, his actual name and that his tribesmen call him "the one who creates sound" in their native tongue.
 * Soundman's unnamed sister beats him often.
