About

Koichi Window Edits refers to an exploitable scene in the 2016 TV anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable which shows secondary protagonist Koichi Hirose reacting in shock upon seeing his obsessive admirer Yukako Yamagishi stare at him from outside the window. Due to the over-the-top nature of the scene, it has become the subject of a photoshop meme among the JoJo fandom communities online.

Origins

The scene originated from Chapter 296 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (shown below, left) and the eighth episode of the 2016 TV anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, which first aired on May 20th, 2016 (shown below, right). In the episode, Koichi awakens from a dream involving antagonist Yukako Yamagishi only to discover she has been in front of his window this whole time, prompting him to become shocked in fear.
