- Gyro Zeppeli

Gyro Zeppeli (ジャイロ・ツェペリ), alongside Johnny Joestar, is the main protagonist of Part VII: Steel Ball Run.

Gyro is a master of the Spin, applied with his Steel Balls, developed in the service of the King of Naples. He joins the Steel Ball Run race to win amnesty for a child he is assigned to execute.

Appearance
Gyro is a man of average to above-average height and medium to athletic build. He has light, slightly wavy collarbone-length hair; light eyes, square patches of facial hair lining his jaw, and (in illustrations) often painted lips. He either wears grills or has chiselled into prosthetic, likely gold teeth the phrase "GO! GO! ZEPPELI".

Gyro's basic outfit consists of a short-sleeved studded black leather coat; light, leather pants, and cowboy boots. He wears a belt, the buckle of which bears a pair of hands apparently pointing to his crotch, and at his hips a pair of special holsters for his Steel Balls. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, the sides of the crown and rim of which bear uniformly-spaced slits that enable light and air to filter through. Situated around the crown of his hat are a pair of slitted goggles. Depending on the weather he may don his goggles, in addition to a scarf.
