Norisuke Higashikata IV

Character from jojos-bizarre-adventure by Hirohiko Araki

The patriarch of the Higashikata family — a fruit dealer whose kindness in taking in a stranger masked a dynasty's desperate secret: a curse turning them to stone, generation by generation.

Norisuke is the kind of man who takes in a stranger he found in his daughter's company and gives him a home, a name, and a place in the family. He runs a successful fruit business and carries himself with paternal warmth. But he's also carrying the weight of the Rock Disease — watching his family members slowly petrify — and he will do anything to protect them from it. His Stand, King Nothing, tracks people by scent like a bloodhound, assembling itself from jigsaw-like pieces. He genuinely cares for Gappy and eventually has to choose between his adopted guest and his biological son Jobin. That choice costs him everything.
