Loggins and Messina are minor, fictional characters appearing in the Japanese manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 Jojo no kimyōna bōken?), by Hirohiko Araki. The characters are portrayed as allies of the protagonist.
[edit] Characters
Loggins and Messina are Ripple Masters as well as Lisa Lisa's servants. They trained Joseph Joestar and Caesar Antonio Zeppeli the ripple for about 20 days, where they had to learn things such as how to breathe in for 10 minutes straight or how to breathe in 10 times in one second.
Joseph Joestar and Caesar's final test had them in a ripple match against their teachers. Joseph would fight Loggins, and Caesar would fight Messina. After a while, Messina forfeited his match against Caesar, astonished that in 3 weeks, Caesar had gained more ripple power than he had in 10 years. However, Joseph was not able to fight Loggins because ACDC had killed him before Joseph had got to the place they were going to fight at. So instead, Joseph fought ACDC and killed him. Messina went with Lisa Lisa, Caesar, and Joseph to Switzerland to find the Red Stone of Asia. He didn't do much in the fights knocked out by Wham.
After the final battle in which Joseph killed Wham and sent Cars into space, he attended Joseph's "funeral" and, just like everyone else, was shocked to see that Joseph was alive.
His whereabouts afterwards are unknown, though he may had died during the 50-year gap between Part 2 and Part 3.
Loggins and Messina are most definitely named after Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina, who were a pop/rock duo in the 70's. Loggins also had a successful solo career, recording hits like "Footloose" and "Danger Zone".
It should also be noted that Jim Messina was a member of Poco; a band that also inspired a character's name in this series.
