Join the defenders of Morioh with this Pop! Animation No. 2489 figurine of Koichi Hirose, designed by Funko. Inspired by the fourth part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Diamond Is Unbreakable, it depicts the young schoolboy who gradually discovers the world of Stand users alongside Josuke Higashikata.
Koichi is depicted in a fighting stance, legs apart and fists clenched. He is wearing his dark green Japanese school uniform, consisting of a jacket fastened with gold buttons and matching trousers. His light-coloured hair, slicked back, matches the look he adopts as the series progresses.
The figurine features the characteristic proportions of the Pop! collection, with an oversized head, large black eyes and a stylised body. The character’s pronounced eyebrows, voluminous hairstyle and determined stance reflect the courage he develops throughout his battles.

Koichi Hirose is one of Josuke Higashikata’s key allies in *Diamond Is Unbreakable*, the fourth part of *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure*. He lives in Morioh with his family and begins the story as a reserved, cautious secondary school pupil who is unaccustomed to dangerous situations.
His life changes when he meets Josuke and Jotaro Kujo, and subsequently finds himself caught up in the events surrounding the bow and arrow capable of awakening Stands. After being struck by the arrow, Koichi develops his own supernatural power, named Echoes.
At the start of the story, Koichi lacks self-confidence and often relies on Josuke or Jotaro to face enemy Stand users. However, his many trials enable him to gradually become braver, more independent and capable of making decisions under pressure.
He also has a complex relationship with Yukako Yamagishi, a Stand user who was initially obsessed with him. Following a particularly dangerous confrontation, their relationship evolves and Koichi eventually acknowledges the young woman’s feelings.
Koichi plays a crucial role in the hunt for Yoshikage Kira. During his clash with Sheer Heart Attack, he uses Echoes ACT 3 to slow down Killer Queen’s autonomous bomb, allowing Jotaro to continue the fight despite his injuries.
His reliability and courage earn him the respect of Jotaro Kujo, who is otherwise generally reserved. Koichi thus becomes one of the key members of the group tasked with protecting Morioh and putting an end to Kira’s crimes.
This Pop! No. 2489 depicts Koichi in a more confident pose, reflecting his development from a shy schoolboy into a courageous Stand user who is indispensable to the heroes of *Diamond Is Unbreakable*.
