Anjuro Katagiri

"Today, tomorrow, whenever, I'll wait patiently for my chance. Then, I'll kill you and your hot mom!"

- -Anjuro Katagiri

Anjuro Katagiri (片桐 安十郎) (more often known as as Angelo (アンジェロ)) is an early antagonist appearing in Diamond Is Unbreakable.

Personality
Angelo is a notorious criminal having seemingly no standards, with some even saying that he is cursed to be an evil man, who doesn't care about other people's lives. While he agrees with everything said about him, he doesn't feel the need to change and continues engaging in his crimes. He doesn't even take blame for his actions, at one point blaming Josuke for his grandfather's death when it was Angelo who killed him, saying Josuke didn't watch him so it was all his fault. Angelo is also depraved and pansexual, guilty of raping three young boys and planning to rape Tomoko Higashikata. He has a disgust towards people who he believes are cocky and enjoys seeing these people in agony. He has shown some intelligence, waiting for it to rain before striking Jotaro and Josuke. He states when things go his way, he feels like laughing from the bottom of his heart. As such, he is virtually immoral, and enjoys committing as many murders as possible while not being caught from the law.

When finally defeated, he demonstrates hypocrisy and cowardice, pointing at Josuke and saying that he didn't have the right to judge him when Angelo himself did the exact same things.

History
At the age of 12, Angelo was convicted for robbery and rape, and since then spent 20 years of his life in prison. He becomes known as one of the biggest criminals in Japan, having been guilty of the rape and murder of three boys, on March 1994. At the time, he was finally arrested by Ryohei Higashikata, and obtained his stand in prison using the Bow and Arrow, presumably from Keicho Nijimura. He was hung in October, but was unable to die and escapes two weeks later after the failed execution. Once out of prison, Angelo goes on killing spree, getting people to drink his watery stand before using it to cause their heads to be torn apart from within, as well as possessing people's bodies to commit crimes.

Diamond Is Unbreakable
Angelo was detected by Hermit Purple as a man representing danger to Josuke Higashikata. Angelo met Josuke after his plan to use an ordinary man to commit an robbery was foiled by Josuke. As an act of vengeance against Josuke and Ryohei, Angelo tricked and killed Ryohei, planning to do the same to Josuke and then assault his mother. Angelo waited until a rainy day came to get an advantage over Jotaro and Josuke in Josuke's home.

He was eventually defeated and smashed to pieces by Crazy Diamond's fists into a rock. Josuke then restored him and the rock at the same time, fusing them. Angelo then tried to take a kid as a hostage with his stand, but insulted Josuke's hair and as a result Josuke fused him even more with the rock, effectively turning Angelo into a hideous statue that becomes a historical landmark for Morioh. Josuke eventually waved to Angelo when passing by the rock, a habit Koichi Hirose also developed to imitate Josuke.
