Koichi Hirose is a high school student Stand user who appears in Part 4 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, "Diamond is Unbreakable." He is best friends with the protagonist, Josuke Higashikata, and they are often seen together. He is characterized by his extremely small stature and has a gentle and kind personality. His Stand, called Echoes, is a growing Stand that has three forms. By using onomatopoeia, he can activate effects related to the sound, and can manipulate gravity to immobilize opponents. Hirose Koichi was initially just an ordinary person, but when he went to Nijimura Okuyasu's house he was shot by an arrow that turned him into a Stand user, and his Stand abilities were awakened. Kishibe Rohan is very fond of him, and calls him his best friend.

The first of Hirose Koichi's famous quotes is, "Believe!!" This famous line was spoken when Hirose Koichi's family was caught up in Kobayashi Tamami's Stand ability. In order to make Hirose Koichi and his family feel guilty, Kobayashi Tamami breaks into his house and tries to blame his mother in every way possible, instilling guilt in her and driving her to suicide. However, at that moment, he uses the ability of his Stand, Echoes, to convey that he is falsely accused, and this famous line is spoken. Although the words are simple, they represent Hirose Koichi's honest feelings, and as this is his first Stand battle, they can also be considered one of his famous lines.

The next famous line from Hirose Koichi is, "Like I said, it collapsed... But... No matter what I say, you don't understand... You..." This line comes from when Hirose Koichi rescues Yamagishi Yukako, a Stand user who has fallen in love with him. After imprisoning him and trying to monopolize her, he uses his Stand power to rescue her from a cliff when she finally tries to kill him. His kindness in trying to save the life of even his enemy and his cool words that he had foreseen everything are incredibly cool quotes. This act makes Yamagishi Yukako fall in love with Hirose Koichi all over again, making this a truly manly and cool scene from Hirose Koichi.

The third of Hirose Koichi's famous quotes is, "Just this once... I won't fix it, so it'll be fine." This famous quote was spoken by Hirose Koichi when he saw Higashikata Josuke lending Joseph Joestar his shoulder to help him walk. It's a slightly awkward yet warm scene as Josuke and Joseph meet for the first time, despite the fact that they are father and son. Joseph's staff breaks during the fight, and although Josuke could have repaired it with Crazy Diamond, he chooses not to, showing the love between father and son. Hirose Koichi's kindness is also conveyed as he is moved by this scene. The slightly foolish atmosphere of Okuyasu, who wonders why Josuke doesn't use his Stand ability to repair the staff, is also amusing, making this a famous quote.

"It's just his personality... That personality... I just fell in love with him..." is another of Hirose Koichi's famous quotes. This famous quote comes from Yamagishi Yukako, who uses her Stand ability to change her face and improve her luck, but ends up breaking the rules and becoming ugly. When she meets Hirose Koichi, the person she loves, she pretends to be someone else to avoid him recognizing her true appearance, and Hirose Koichi sees through her. This is a rare love-related scene in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and it is also a confession that clearly shows that Hirose Koichi has begun to have feelings for Yamagishi Yukako, despite his one-sided love for her. After this, Hirose Koichi discovers Yamagishi Yukako's true face, making it a sweet and very cool scene.

The fifth famous line from Hirose Koichi is, "The ones who run away in fear are 'murderers'! You're the one who's scared!" This line is spoken by Hirose Koichi when he defeats Kira Yoshikage's Stand, part of the murderer Kira Yoshikage. Prior to uttering this line, he feared the murderer Kira and the powerful effects of the Sheer Heart Attack. However, after his own mistake seriously injuring Jotaro and forcing him to protect him, he becomes angry at himself for running away. This is the line he utters to the Stand at that moment. This is a scene that shows Hirose Koichi's great mental growth and also stirs his fighting spirit.

The next Hirose Koichi quote is, "My 'ACT3' is amazing!" This famous quote is also uttered during a battle using Sheer Heart Attack, the stand of the murderer Kira Yoshikage. As mentioned earlier, Hirose Koichi's stand ability changes form, and it changes as he grows. This quote comes as Hirose Koichi is moved when his stand, Echoes, reaches its final stage. At a critical moment, Echoes changes form, taking on a human form and appearing to make a major comeback, making it an extremely exciting and memorable scene that is sure to leave an impression on many people. The words themselves are ordinary, but the scene as well is considered a famous quote.

The last famous line from Hirose Koichi I'd like to introduce is, "You're such an idiot! I'll be looking forward to seeing you in the afterlife!" This line comes from Hirose Koichi's direct confrontation with Kira Yoshikage. Kira appears after disabling Sheer Heart Attack. Hirose Koichi is then defeated by Kira's Stand, Killer Queen. However, even while defeated, Hirose Koichi manages to steal information from his opponent and provoke Kira. He tells Kira that now that he has discovered the true nature of his murderer, Josuke and Jotaro will surely find him, and these are his final words. After saying these words, Kira pierces his abdomen, but Jotaro steps in to help and saves his life. This is the moment when Hirose Koichi mentally defeats Kira Yoshikage, and it's also one of Hirose Koichi's coolest moments.
