—Surface, Chapter 290 | ||
Surface (サーフィス（うわっ面） Sāfisu) is the Stand of Toshikazu Hazamada, featured in Diamond is Unbreakable.
Appearance[]
Surface appears as a human-sized mannequin, with several screws sticking out of its head. While in action, Surface takes on the appearance of another person - matching voice, mannerisms, and clothing - save for the screw in the center of its forehead.
Befitting its wooden nature, Surface is generally portrayed as light brown in most media.
Personality[]
It has no personality until its abilities are used, upon which it adopts the personality of whomever it is copying at the moment. While acting as a doppelganger of Josuke, it even made fun of its user, Toshikazu, for hitting him and hurting his hand on its wooden body; it was also smug towards Toshikazu because he was more popular with girls. However, he was still willing to serve his master without question.
Abilities[]
Although physically underwhelming, the only noteworthy characteristic being its speed,[2] Surface is a menacing Stand because of its two powers of mimicry and control over people. Unfortunately, it is held back by Hazamada's pitiful handling and his impulsive personality.
Clone Transformation[]
Surface's primary ability is to copy the appearance of another person.[2]
If the mannequin faces someone, it will perfectly copy that person's appearance, voice, and mannerisms, down to the fingerprints, as noted by Josuke.[3] However, a screw on Surface's forehead enables people to tell them apart. As a Stand bound to a mannequin, no damage done to Surface will be reflected in Hazamada.
Surface still remains a wooden mannequin on the inside, causing Hazamada to hurt himself while punching his Stand.[4] If a piece of the mannequin is cut off, that area will return to its wooden state.[4]
Motor-Skill Manipulation[]
Surface forces Josuke to lift an arm
When Surface impersonates someone, it can force that person to imitate its movements.[2] This prevented Josuke from hitting it by standing still, making it impossible for him to move and strike it - even with his own Stand due to its limited attack range. However, Surface must stand in front of its victim for this ability to work.[2]

Trivia[]
- According to JOJOVELLER, the screw on its face could be a reference to PermanW's eponymous robot character. This is further made clear by Toshikazu himself through Surface, who compares Surface to the robot from Perman.
