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.
Middle-aged man with a round, friendly face and styled hair with sideburns. Wears business casual clothing. Warm, approachable demeanor that masks the weight of family secrets. King Nothing manifests as a skeletal jigsaw-puzzle-like Stand that tracks scents.
Also known as: Norisuke, Mr. Higashikata
