| “ | There are billions of people in the world. Most of them live boring, mundane lives. People say that everyone's the protagonist of their own life, but that's not true. For an ordinary person to become the protagonist, they have to be chosen... Like Peter Parker being bitten by a spider... or Nobita meeting Doraemon. I may be pathetic nobody... but someday... I believe the light will shine on me too! | „ |

Personality[]
Toshikazu Hazamada is a misogynistic social outcast who utilizes his Stand Power to play pranks on people and occasionally mutilate them for criticising him. He bears great hatred towards popular people, especially Josuke Higashikata, and actively avoids being in his presence. He is smug about being able to bully small animals and do other amoral things without taking any consequences, although even he has standards, such as puking upon seeing Rohan Kishibe lick a spider's slit belly or being overall disgusted by his behavior. He hates being criticised for his antics and easily loses his temper, breaking down crying when Rohan revealed his secrets in front of Koichi.
Powers and Abilities[]
Surface
| “ | Whatever poses this mannequin makes, the person I copied moves to match. It's not the puppet. It's the puppet master. | „ |
| ~ Surface on itself. |
- Surface: After being hit by the Stand Arrow, Toshikazu Hazamada gained ability to summon a variant of a Stand that is bound to a physical object, just like Forever and ZZ. Initially a wooden doll, Surface can replicate the appearance, voice and mannerisms of anyone who touches it, including fingerprints, as stated by Josuke, and knowledge, as demonstrated in Toshikazu Hazamada's Questionable Adventure. Aside from mere mimicry, Surface can forcibly control anyone it copies, which allows Toshikazu to inflict damage upon them, usually by forcing them to stab themselves in certain places. This Stand also wields minor degree of superhuman strength, being able to easily knock out an ordinary human being and react to projectiles at close range.
Biography[]
Toshikazu Hazamada's Questionable Adventure[]
A week prior to the events of the story, Toshikazu Hazamada was stabbed with a Stand Arrow, causing him to develop Surface. Upon discovering such ability, he started to play harmless pranks against his classmates. He used his power to copy the school principal to bring himself a hentai comic, only to be criticised by it and kick it in the face, causing the doll to revert. He copied Junko, his crush, to spend some time with her in his room. However, she immediately began laughing at him for jerking off to hentai and asked him to start masturbating in front of her, so she can record it and send it to her boyfriend. Toshikazu was upset by her attitude and punched her in the face, reverting Surface to its prime form.
He later went onto Tokyo, where he attempted to sneak with Surface to idol event featuring Ruu Hayama that he was told about by his otaku friend. He was wearing a lot of clothing to disguise Surface before it would replicate Ruu. However, he was not allowed to pass by Ruu's manager, causing Surface to accidentally replicate him and blow off his cover. Upset, Hazamada ran away. After walking around the Tokyo, Toshikazu later returned to Morioh.
Diamond Is Unbreakable[]
Hazamada is a third-year student who, after being hit by the Arrow from Keicho Nijimura, gained a Stand ability. Tamami Kobayashi started investigating him after hearing rumors that Hazamada and a friend had an argument, and that said friend would later dig out his own eyeball with a ballpoint pen. Josuke and Koichi then decide to look for Hazamada on his class and later break his locker. Josuke only finds a bunch of manga and school materials, as well as a weird wooden mannequin. Upon touching it, however, the mannequin, which was actually Surface, Hazamada's Stand, morphs into an exact replica of Josuke. Thanks to its puppetry powers, Surface manipulates the real Josuke and forces him to hit Koichi and pick a pen to dug out his eye. As Josuke passes out Hazamada reveals himself and along with the copy decides to go after Jotaro to force him to leave the town, knocking Tamami on the way with a brick.
Josuke only pretended to have been unconscious, having only a scratch beneath his eye since Koichi used his ability to help him. The two pursue Hazamada, who uses Surface to call Jotaro and meet him at the train station. He has an argument with with Surface after it gets a letter from an admirer of Josuke and punches it, only to hurt his own hand. He wipes his hand on a nearby motorcycle but is picked on by the owner of the motorcycle and his friend, who both insult him. Surface knocks one of them and holds the other while Hazamada threatens him with a scalpel, but Josuke catches up with him and toss a piece of glass, which Surface picks up. Josuke uses his powers to reform the broken glass into a bottle, trapping Surface's right hand inside. Josuke and Koichi run ahead and reach Jotaro first, thanks to Koichi using his sound powers to fake an approaching train, tricking Hazamada and Surface into taking a longer route. However, Surface still gets in range and forces Josuke to pick a pen and stab Jotaro with it, but the two motorcycle guys find Hazamada and beat him up. With Hazamada out of commission and Surface deactivated, Josuke destroys the wooden mannequin.
After being hospitalized and telling Jotaro and Josuke about Akira Otoishi's plans, Hazamada would reform and later become friends with Koichi. When the two fall victim to Rohan Kishibe's stand known as Heaven's Door so that he could read their minds and personalities, Rohan was genuinely disgusted to find out that Hazamada tried raping his classmate Junko by using his Stand to take her form and have sex with it so that she could feel everything, though he was too cowardly to go on with the act. He was also grossed out to find out that he's not only a pervert, but a animal abuser, as Rohan found out that Hazamada loved to harm small animals.
