Minor Characters


 * For minor characters without names, see Unnamed Characters.

This is a list of minor characters appearing in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and related media.

Characters in this section have very little information to warrant a character page, usually due to lack of relevance or backstory.

Dio Brando's mother
Little is known about her. She was a poor woman married to Dario Brando. She appeared to be the only person Dio Brando ever cared for, as he mentions that he hated his father for making her suffer and "working her to death." The date of her death was between 1867 and 1880.

Mark Watkin
Mark Watkin was the champion of the rural boxing club. Jonathan was meant to fight him as a challenger, but instead fought and lost to Dio, who volunteered himself as an opponent.

Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart
Manga Debut : Chapter 27, Vengeance Demon from the Past

Anime Debut : Episode 5, The Dark Knights

Seiyuu :Yuka Keichō (Elizabeth I) 

Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart were two queens of the Tudor dynasty who fought for the throne 300 years before Part I: Phantom Blood, in 1595. Mary was a beautiful 23-year-old woman with peace in her heart, her charm being enough to make men, no matter how strong, entrust themselves and feel that sense of peace. With great tolerance, she took the lonely dark knights Tarkus and Bruford with a smile, enough for them to pledge loyalty and swear to make her queen, even if it cost their lives. When Mary's husband Darnley died from unknown causes Elizabeth took the opportunity to charge her for his death, turning the population against Mary. Elizabeth took Mary prisoner and ordered her to be beheaded, using a impersonator later to trick Tarkus and Bruford into giving up. Their executioner, who was killed by Bruford's hair, was the same one who killed Mary.

Darnley
Manga Debut : Chapter 27, Vengeance Demon from the Past

Anime Debut : Episode 5, The Dark Knights

The 77 Rings Challenge Winners


Manga Debut : Chapter 28, The Hero of the 77 Rings

Winzaleo, Eijkman and Caineghis are three of the only five knights who survived the 77 Rings knights challenge, winning the challenge years before the dark knights Tarkus and Bruford, who won in 1563.

The three are playable in the game Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, where Winzaleo carries a giant battle-axe capable of breaking the ground, Eijkman uses an electrified halberd and Caineghis wields a poisonous scimitar. Their appearance is very different than the one featured in the manga

Harry

Mr. Harry was a resident of Windknights whose daughter ran away shortly before Dio's arrival in town. It is possible that she was one of the women Dio and Jack the Ripper killed to suck blood.

Captain Tennille was introduced to the Joestar group by the Speedwagon Foundation to aid in their trip to reach Dio Brando.

The Impostor Captain Tennille  killed him in Hong Kong and threw his body into the bottom of the sea, taking his place.

Stephen was defeated and had his soul taken too. His father Garie Moore tried to win his soul back, but was also beaten. Stephen may have almost won the gamble, as D'Arby remembered the date, place and even what he said before losing (the same words Mohammed Avdol said when Jean Pierre Polnareff was beaten). The Moors' souls were transported back to their bodies after Jotaro Kujo defeated D'Arby. Garie Moor is named for Irish singer Gary Moore.

She was a victim of Tamami's The Lock and almost commits suicide over her son's supposed theft. His pleas for her to believe in him free her from her guilt and thus from the Stand.

She briefly appears to talk to Koichi when Cinderella is first used on Yukako, making Yukako believe that luck is not on her side because so many people are interrupting her attempts to be alone with Koichi.

Mr. Hirose is seen only in a photograph. Tamami threatens to use The Lock on him too if Koichi doesn't give him money.

Ayana Hirose

With his heightened smell, Yuya could tell that the peach Akemi was going to give him was rotten and that Yoshie was on her period. He also thought that Reiko was mad at him because of the adrenaline he smelled, but the smell was from Josuke. When Josuke asks Yuya to help him find Koichi the three girls are still in there, coming from the arcade with chocolates for Yuya won by Akemi.

Enthusiastic about the story, she told it to her boyfriend, unaware that Yoshikage Kira was sitting next to them, trying to control his killer instincts. Bothered by her bag next to him, he moved it away, and the couple accused him of trying to steal it. As they got off the train, Minako's boyfriend and Kira bumped into each other, knocking Kira's things onto the ground. The man yelled at Kira again, and the couple mocked his "lame" nail clippers.
