About

The Koichi Pose refers to a still shot of the character Koichi Hirose during the opening intro of the animated adaptation of the japanese manga series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable. Due to the humorous nature and lengthy exposure of his pose, the shot became an exploitable on the JoJo fandom, spawning parodies and image edits.

Origin

The shot originated from the intro sequence of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable which first aired on April 8th, 2016. In the scene, Koichi performs a pose and stood still for around 3 seconds.


One of the earliest mentions regarding the pose was on April 9th, 2016, in a thread on 4chan’s /a/ board.[1] On the same thread, one of the earliest edited images which depicts Koichi riding Dio Brando was posted by an anonymous user.[2]


Spread

On April 9th, a 4chan tripcode user named Doc created an Imgur gallery full of edits collected from the previous threads[3][4]. The same day, a Tumblr user spookygrips posted a parody of the DIO’s reveal from the Part 3 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders. In nearly 20 hours, the post got over 1,474 notes[5].



On May 13th, 2016, the 7th episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable began airing which edits the opening so that Koichi’s stand, Echoes, appears right beside him as he poses. On the same day, Tumblr user mistah-joestar uploaded a video of the new scene with the audio edited which gathered over 2.900 notes within 2 weeks.
