About Us

JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia (ジョジョの奇妙な百科事典, JoJo no Kimyō na Hakkajiten) is a website dedicated to the works of the manga artist Hirohiko Araki and related media. It is primarily focused on his biggest series, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

The site was founded on October 14, 2019, and officially launched to the public on November 23, 2019. However, the site has 11 years of history prior to this on a former wiki owned by a company. As JoJo fans throughout the world, we united to work on that site for free to spread our enjoyment of the franchise and archive whatever we could. Throughout the years, that site started going downhill due to events beyond our control, so our small community editing there contemplated moving to our own site. Although we initially believed it to be an impossible task, we persevered and were capable of moving the content that we wrote for over eight years there onto our new site here.

Since moving, we've had the freedom to follow our own rules and implement new features and extensions as much as we want. The advertisements and donations we receive serve to help us pay for hosting the site each month. Our work on this site is a hobby to provide the fans of the series with the most accurate, cited, and up-to-date information. We have interviewed several notable people related to the franchise, including Reki Taki, Satoshi Kurusu, Yuki Kikuchi, Kira Buckland, and more.

While anyone is free to edit with an account, we moderate the content to ensure the information is factual and legitimate. Nonetheless, it's possible that things may slip by us, so we hope that our readers would either fix it themselves should they come across an error, or report the error to us on either our message walls, Twitter, or Discord server.

We're grateful for all the support we've received since creating this site, and glad to see both old and new fans of the series working together to make the site great. Thank you!

I started reading JoJo's Bizarre Adventure during the whole "road roller" craze back in 2006 and have never stopped since then. However, it wasn't until a few years later that I would discover the wiki, which at the time was relatively barren. I took it upon myself to help beef it up and maintain the site until I was eventually given the role of head admin in 2012 (around the time the anime was announced). The past decade has been a non-stop roller coaster of adding new content to the wiki, but I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon.

Wiki Debut: August 2015 (First Edit)
Specialties: Content Writing, Website Development/Maintenance/Design, Template Creation

I first learned of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in 2006 due to Jump Super Stars, the road roller meme, and DIO being added to M.U.G.E.N at that time. However, it wasn't until 2012 that I started reading JoJo after being convinced to by a friend. All-Star Battle being announced also motivated me, as I was making anime gaming videos at the time. Since then, most of my videos have been various content and compilations for ASB and Eyes of Heaven. Soon I discovered the wiki and began editing it in 2015, eventually becoming an admin. After Fandom started making changes for the worse, I thought it would be a good idea to move all our content from their site onto our own individual site. In 2019, we were finally able to do so after purchasing our own server and domain. While it's been stressful, it's also been a fun learning experience and I'm glad to see all the support from the community.
