Eijkman the Lightning Knight (イナズマの騎士アイクマン, Inazuma no Kishi Aikuman) is a tertiary character featured in the first part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Phantom Blood.
He is one of the only five knights to survive and win the trial of the 77 Rings. He is omitted in the anime adaptation, but appears as a playable character in the Phantom Blood PlayStation 2 game with an original design.
In the video game, Eijkman appears as a man with an athletic build and blue lipstick. He has blue neck-length hair with bangs. He wears a wide-collar turtleneck sweater cut above the navel, a chestplate, and shoulderplates.
His personality in the manga is unknown, as he was only mentioned. In the video game, he is particularly loyal to Dio Brando, who revived him. He has voice clips stating that everything is for his lord Dio's sake. Eijkman is described in the game's Profile Mode as a knight who, true to his name, is known for his shining spears and quick movements.
Superhuman Strength
Being the second knight out of five to complete the 77 Rings challenge, Eijkman is extremely durable and capable of withstanding the weight of more than a hundred kilograms on his body. Despite having a handicap by wearing several weighted rings, Eijkman manages to defeat all of his opponents and cross a 10km mountain range.
Superhuman Agility
As his name implies, Eijkman is a knight with swift movements. While attacking, he notes that his enemy is too slow and also asks where they're looking.
Electrified Halberd
Eijkman utilizes a halberd which can generate electricity to paralyze his opponents. His thrusts have enough force to shoot out gusts of wind.
Zombie
After being revived as a zombie by Dio Brando in the video game, Eijkman's strength is multiplied at the cost of making him weak to sunlight and the Ripple.
In 1389, Eijkman is the second knight to survive and successfully complete the challenge of the 77 Rings. He goes down in history as a legendary knight alongside Winzaleo, Caineghis, Bruford, and Tarkus.

Five hundred years later, Eijkman is revived by Dio Brando along with the other winners of the 77 Rings challenge. Following Dio's orders, Winzaleo, Eijkman, Caineghis, and Wang Chan sneak aboard a ship headed to America. After Dio takes over Father Styx's body, he summons the three zombie knights to defeat Jonathan Joestar for him.
In the end, Jonathan defeats him along with the other knights.
