Diego Brando

Diego Brando (usually called "Dio" for short) is the new universe counterpart of DIO Brando in Part 7 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run.

Although unrelated to his DIO counterpart directly (parts 1-6 and 7-8 take place in two distinct, separate universes), he is very similar to the original Dio in both looks and personality. However, Diego is a famous professional jockey from England participating in the Steel Ball Run race across North America. He was raised among a group of homeless people after his mother saved him from drowning in a river when he was still a baby. He was later adopted into nobility when his talent as a jockey was discovered. Although he was raised with much love, he is cold-hearted and will do virtually anything to win.
