“	It was the fall of 1938, at sundown... An Englishman of roughly 195cm stood before me and sent a bottle cap flying with some sort of magic! It may have been my imagination, but at that moment, I thought I saw his body glowing!	„
	~ Smokey Brown

“	He is the living incarnation of evil! His name is DIO, awakened after a century of sleep! Our density is to fight this man!	„
	~ Joseph Joestar

“	It feels like 1999 only just started, but April is already here. Here in Japan and overseas, the media is in an uproar over Nostradamus's prophecies of terror befalling humanity and such, but for most regular people... Well maybe life isn't so carefree, but it goes on as normal. My name is Koichi Hirose-- Although I guess who I am isn't that important. I'm 15 years old since I've passed the entrance exam, my life is a mixture of worry and excitement about moving up to high school. At least it was... Until I met those two bizarre men.	„
	~ Koichi Hirose

Dio Brando saw women as nothing more than tools...Meals No ones knows how Giorno's mother gave birth to him 15 years ago... Without being killed by DIO. She was a very beautiful women... But she was in no way a good mother. Back in Japan, She neglected young Giorno in favor of big-city life. Giorno would wake up in the middle of the night, with his mother nowhere to be found. Its hard to imagine the terror and hopelessness he must have felt in those moments as a baby only one or two years old. To cry alone in darkness would have been useless. Instead he only trembled. When Giorno was four years old, his mother married an Italian man. And from that point on, Giorno grew up as an Italian. But his stepfather routinely beat him behind his mother's back. The man had it backward. Clearly, he was the one who made Giorno that way. And the child's timid demeanor made him the ideal target for mal-contented youths to vent their frustrations. Giorno came to believe himself worthless. Anyone could see it was only a matter of time before he grew up into someone with a dark and twisted heart. But something happened that saved Giorno from that fate. he was walking home from school just like any other day... When he came across a bloody heap of a man, collapsed at the base of a stone wall. Giorno couldn't tell if the man was alive or dead, but he seemed to have been shot in the chest. And then a group of men came running and shouting. They were obviously searching for the man... And they were coming closer. They questioned Giorno... Giorno lied. He wasn't afraid. He merely saw himself in the injured man, fearless and alone. Fortuitously, vegetation sprung up around the man's body and concealed him from pursuers. This was the work of Golden Experience-- Though the boy himself was not yet aware of this ability and had acted subconsciously. He never told anyone what had happened that day. Though he never said why those men had shot him. Not long after that, Giorno's stepfather stopped beating him. The kids who once bullied him now offered him a seat when the movie theater was full. The man was a gangster. And though he remained a silent and distant guardian... He treated Giorno not as the worthless obsequious the boy thought of himself as, but human being, deserving of respect and companionship. Through the man's wordless examples, Giorno learned something his parents should have taught him: To have faith in others. It's strange, but... It was a wrongdoer, a breaker of laws-- A gangster-- That twisted Giorno's heart. No longer were his eyes timid. A refreshing breeze blows through his spirit. Giorno's protector made absolutely sure never to drag him into the mafia world, but... In this place where the politicians are corrupt and the police don't protect the weak... Nothing could dissuade Giorno from his life's goal. Rather than aspire to become a football star in the serie, a Giorno Giovanna... Dreams of becoming a mafioso!
