Ryoko Kakyoin

Short in stature and lightly built, Ryoko carries an obvious family resemblance to Noriaki. She keeps her long hair gathered in a ponytail, with side braids drawn across one shoulder. A lone cherry earring and a single curling strand of fringe echo the look worn by her older cousin.

Though she can come across as vain, Ryoko is generally courteous in how she treats people. She also has a protective streak, stepping in when a short-tempered driver harasses an elderly woman, and lending a hand to Hol Horse and Josuke when they need one.

Back in 1988, as the events of Stardust Crusaders were just beginning, Ryoko joined a family trip to Egypt alongside Noriaki. The two crossed paths with Dio there; her cousin was implanted with a flesh bud, while Ryoko slipped away from the encounter. Years later she resurfaces in Morioh, having come to pay respects at Noriaki's grave, and it is there that she comes across Tohth, an eerie book capable of foretelling the future, which she goes on to wield for a time.
