Biography
Okuyasu Nijimura (Japanese: 虹村 億泰, Hepburn: Nijimura Okuyasu) was a Japanese male who was the younger brother of Keicho Nijimura (虹村 形兆 Nijimura Keichō). The siblings lived with their father and mother where they were poor but happy. This was until their mother passed away leading to the family initially struggling as their father looked for money. He eventually came upon large sums of money but became more cruel and abusive in the process. This was until one day he suddenly mutated turning him into a deformed bizarre creature. It was then that the brothers learnt that their father had entered into the employ of a man named DIO who had infected the elder Nijimura in 1989 when Okuyasu was only 4 years old. In exchange for his service, he was paid money until DIO was eventually killed leading to the spore within the Nijimura siblings father to mutate him into an undying immortal creature. Keicho and Okuyasu then looked to find a means of killing their father in order to end his misery. They came to acquire the Bow and Arrow which they used to give themselves the powers of a Stand but even they found that they could not kill him as his body healed from his injuries. It was then that Keicho decided to use the Arrow to give random people the power of a Stand in the hope that one would be strong enough to destroy their father. Eventually, they moved to Morioh where they were responsible for giving many people Stand powers though each was not suited for their purpose and thus abandoned.
After his brother died, he sought revenge against the User of Red Hot Chili Pepper, Otoishi Akira. During this time and the following events surrounding Kira Yoshikage, he became fast friends with Josuke and Koichi. Okuyasu tends to be jealous of Koichi's relationship with Yukiko, and enjoys Tonio's cooking. He also befriends Fatty, after doing battle with his Harvest with Josuke. This friendship is why became further enraged when Fatty was killed by Yoshikage Kira.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He rather dislikes Rohan because of what Rohan tried to do to him when they first met. Eventually Okuyasu seemingly "dies" after suffering mortal wounds during a battle with Yoshikage Kira, only to return after meeting his brother in a dream who asks him where he wants to go, and Okuyasu says "I want to go back to Morioh" which results in Okuyasu waking up.
Powers and abilities
Okuyasu Nijimura was an ordinary human until he and his brother used the Bow and Arrow to give themselves the power of a Stand (スタンド Sutando) that was a visual manifestation of his life energy. In his case, this took the form of a humanoid being that he called The Hand (ザ・ハンド（手） Za Hando). This was a powerful short-ranged that was heavily battle oriented though was not fast. Its greatest power though was manifested in its right palm that was capable of erasing from existence anything it touched. This could range from physical objects to even space itself with Okuyasu stating that even he did not know what happened to those erased by his ability. Once erased, reality would immediately fill and 'stitch up' the lost target by adjacent space and objects, effectively removing any traces of the removed object's existence. Though his Stand was short-ranged, the use of his erasure ability meant that he coul potentially close the gap between him and opponent by erasing the space between them thus bringing them closer to him. It held the potential of being a powerful Stand though much of its effectiveness was dampened due to the low-wit of its user.
The Hand The Hand uses its right hand to erase the space temporarily where the hand moves, seemingly able to warp or summon objects closer to Okuyasu. While this ability is quite dangerous, Okuyasu has a hard time using it effectively. The stand is possibly as strong or fast as Josuke's Crazy Diamond.
