== Charactah Account ==
A mysterious racer who suddenly shows up in the U.S. for the Steel Ball Run. He ends up catching the eye of many people, good and bad, for his high placement in the race's rankings, his past concerning his time in Naples, and his seeking of the Corpse Parts. He eventually acts as a sort of partner and mentor to Johnny after the race begins.
From the Corpse's right eye, he gains the non-Stand ability known as Scan, which enhances his eyesight and allows him to see through his Steel Balls. To participate in fights, he primarily uses a hereditary technique known as the Spin. With it, he can use a pair of Steel Balls he carries around to make the things they touch rotate, or to throw them as powerful projectiles. There's more to this skill than Gyro lets on, however, information that he never teaches Johnny until the moments that he needs it.

== Trivia ==
* Araki personally liked the Jonathan-Zeppeli relationship from Phantom Blood and wanted to retell it again for a longer coming-of-age story. He chose to make Johnny and Gyro around the same age so they could be less formal and more friendly than their original counterparts. Gyro's random jokes and Johnny's trivial use of his spinning nails were included to reflect this concept.
* Gyro was able to see Stands before he achieved one of his own. He is the first and so far only Zeppeli to have a Stand.
* In the Italian edition of SBR, Gyro's name is written as "J.Lo", in a reference to American-Latino singer Jennifer Lopez. This is also a slight pun on the fact that the pronunciations of "Gyro" and "J.Lo" in Japanese are almost identical. This was to avoid his name being pronounced as "Ghiro" (dormouse).
* In the French edition of SBR, Gyro's name is written as "Jayro".
* Giro means "Rotation/Spin" in Spanish and Italian.
* Gyro is currently the only Zeppeli killed by the main villain
* Gyro sometimes use the word "Ora" similar to Jonathan Joestar as well as Joseph Joestar.
