JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future
Jotaro's gameplay is more oriented on offense. He is a lot more effective with his Stand off. This is because of his Blazing Fists, and Jotaro's ability to attack the enemy by himself, while the Stand is attacking. This, in turn, increases the hits and the damage in comparison to attacks with the Stand activated.

As such, his gameplay is more on poking the enemy until he or she budges. Jotaro players are known to be very pesky and can cover a lot of ground in a short time, but their nature of gameplay requires them to put defense strategies on a backseat, to take advantage of the strength from his Blazing Fists.

Also, the inactive Stand version of Putzun Ora may not deal that much damage in comparison to the active Stand version by itself, but when the player attacks with Jotaro going around the enemy, the hits and damage become significantly larger than the latter version.

Star Breaker isn't too effective for poking gameplay, and is seldom used. The active Stand version can be charged until it becomes unblockable, but this takes too much set-up time to be very effective.

Jotaro's "Stop World" isn't as powerful as Dio's, and with the attack speed from Putzun Ora, players are forced to perform the move before the super meter is depleted of one level during Stop World.

Trivia

 * His catchphrase is "Yare yare daze." It has no direct translation but it is usually translated to the effect of, "Gimme a break." It can also mean "Well well well..." or "all-right all-right...", since "yare yare" commonly translates to "Oh well..." It is generally an expression of boredom or exasperation. In the official Viz Media translations, the phrase is considered cursing and is censored. In the official Shonen Jump Advanced manga series he is seen saying "Give me a !@$&*# break..." and the English dub of the OVA translates it as "What a pain..."
 * Jotaro is the first JoJo to be mostly referred to by his birth name, due to the presence of more than one JoJo in his series. This trait is followed for all subsequent Parts.
 * Jotaro's trademark hat, while torn in the back, often seems to blend with his hair. While they are first shown as being completely separate, later publications cause more uncertainty as to where his hat and his hair actually meet. His hat is most likely a Japanese student cap that was normally worn along with the gakuran prior to the 1970s. He is seen wearing an undamaged cap in the first page of part 3 during flashbacks to his youth.
 * According to Araki in an interview, Jotaro's cap is actually a part of his body. He drew him this way intentionally, which is supported by the fact that Jotaro has never removed his hat. (This may have been a joke, due to the fact that Jotaro was shown without his hat on a couple of occasions.) This was in order to make him seem more elegant and he also wanted readers to recognize Jotaro even from his back, and not just his forefront.
 * As the series goes on Jotaro has worn many different hats and coats from blue, to silver yet he always keeps the same style regardless of his age.


 * Jotaro is seen reading a Shonen Jump in his cell, with Shonen Jump being the magazine in which JoJo is published in Japan. In the manga, these magazines also saved Jotaro from being fatally impaled by Dio's knives (In the OVA he's instead protected by wooden splints he put on his broken ribs after a prior attack.)
 * Jotaro's belt has the same design as the late Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli's headband.


 * Jotaro has two unique lying-down sprites when he is knocked down or K.O'ed in the Capcom fighting game. When he is merely knocked over, he is leaning on one side of his body, slightly upright. When defeated completely, he lies flat down on the ground.

In Popular Culture

 * In the first episode of Puni Puni Poemy, the Director and his alien opponent humorously fight a battle between Stands. The alien fought using a Star Platinum look alike.
 * Araragi Koyomi from Nisemonogatari in the 9th episode of the series parodies Jotaro's trademark pose.


 * The character Asuma Sarutobi from Naruto, is voiced by the same voice actor as Jotaro from the OVA. Likewise, Asuma Sarutobi uses the phrase "Yare yare daze", and "Ora ora", especially in the Naruto PS2 games.


 * Sol Badguy, the main character from the popular video game series Guilty Gear, uses the phrase "Yare yare daze".


 * The shoujo manga group Clamp are fans of JoJo. In their later publication, Wish, the main angel character, Kohaku, closely resembles Kakyoin's hairdo and appearance. Ironically, the love interest of said character roughly resembles a hatless Jotaro, named Kudo Shuichiro. Although the angel is sexless, some fans have speculated this story is a shounen-ai interpretation of the two. In their early years, Clamp also created doujinshi of part 3 of JoJo which featured their original character, Jotaro and Kakyoin's love-child Jota (hatched from an egg) and his stand Charmy Green (which looks like a green Star Platinum).


 * In the NBC drama, Heroes, a fictional Japanese salaryman named Hiro Nakamura is a fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. In his blog, he states that he wants to "be like JoJo and Vaan and go on adventures". One of his powers includes time manipulation, a gift shared with both Jotaro and Dio Brando. Hiro later posts on his blog under the pseudonym of Jotaro Kujo.


 * Jotaro is said to have been a fan of Columbo when he was a child.


 * Jotaro exhibits an anime archetype exhibited commonly by "genius" characters by forever staying young through all of his appearances in spite of age. Other characters that noticeably share this trait are Maximilian Jenius and Hiko Seijuro.


 * Daishi, ex-vocalist of the former Japanese Visual Kei group Psycho le Cému, dressed like Jotaro in Love is Dead, the group's last PV.


 * In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Juste can use an item that allows him to use rapid punches while yelling "ORA ORA ORA".


 * One of the characters in the Sega fighting game Fighting Vipers, Bahn, heavily resembles Jotaro, wearing a similar cap to his.
