Creator Hirohiko Araki is known for having a strong preference for western music, because of this most characters reference a popular band or song in some way. This meant it was necessary to rename some characters to be acceptable for release outside Japan. Examples of name changes include Devo to D'bo and Vanilla ice to Iced, although some references are still included, such as Iced quoting Ice Ice Baby with "You had a problem.... I just solved it." in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future.
