madimpossibledreamer: red and black comic-booky picture of an original Jojo's Stand. (jjba)
I have no idea why I’m being asked to write this.  No, really, I don’t.  I write enough reports for my work as it is.  To be fair, I’ve long since trained the urge to try to not write ‘magic hair powers’ in my reports, so maybe that’s why?  I’m miles and miles from the action, though, so I’m not sure there’s that much I can add.

Stand User: Yukako Yamagishi

The oddest part of this, probably, is that Yamagishi’s Stand works almost identically to the Kaminoke Akuma (Hair Demon) found in Japan (though sightings outside Japan have also occurred).  The power is bound in the hair, and can allow for extra hair growth or Asian hair horror (I haven’t seen that specific type of horror used anywhere else).  It can stretch and is remarkably strong.  Unlike the stories, from what I’ve heard Yamagishi hasn’t tried to lure more than one man into her clutches, and she hasn’t tried to kill him (again?).  (See: Yuki-Onna, Jorogumo.)  It’s a change to have that kind of power on our side, certainly.
