RIZIN Fighter Ren Hiramoto Unveils New JoJo Tattoos on Both Thighs, Says “The Spirits of Two Legends Now Reside Within Me”

Ren Hiramoto, a RIZIN fighter scheduled to compete at Super RIZIN.5 this September at Kyocera Dome Osaka, has revealed new tattoos on social media featuring two iconic characters from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Showing off the artwork on both thighs, Hiramoto declared, “The spirits of these two now reside within me.”

The tattoos pay tribute to characters from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, a manga series Hiramoto has long admired.

On his right thigh is Gyro Zeppeli, one of the protagonists of Steel Ball Run, the seventh part of the series. The tattoo faithfully recreates Gyro’s distinctive appearance, including his lips, eyes, and even his signature Steel Ball in vivid yellow green tones.

On his left thigh is DIO, the legendary antagonist whose influence extends throughout Parts 1 through 6 of the franchise. Despite being a villain, DIO remains one of the most popular characters in the series. Hiramoto chose to immortalize the famous moment from Stardust Crusaders when DIO’s face was revealed for the first time. The iconic “DODODODO” sound effect that accompanies his appearance is rendered in purple.

“I love that scene too.”

“I have a Bucciarati tattoo myself!”
