Daisuke Ono Signature

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Ono's favorite manga are JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Oishinbo.[3] He spent most of his college days reading JoJo and would use what little money he had left on the series. He also cites JoJo as part of the reason for him entering the broadcasting world and eventually voice acting.[4]

As the audition process for the TV anime series and All-Star Battle were completely different, Ono recalls having to re-audition for Jotaro "all the way from square one."[4] He is one of five voice actors that was kept from All-Star Battle to voice their TV anime counterpart, the other four being Junichi Suwabe as Telence T. D'Arby, Wataru Takagi as Okuyasu Nijimura, Showtaro Morikubo as Akira Otoishi, and Kappei Yamaguchi as Shigekiyo Yangu.

When asked which JoJo character he would like to travel the world with, Ono said Holy Kujo as it almost feels like a filial duty.[5]

When asked what the hardest part of voicing Jotaro was, Ono stated that the character would sometimes go from being calm to hot-blooded or fierce during specific scenes and he would have to adjust accordingly.[6]
