Trivia

 * Josuke can apparently perform the 100-metre dash within 11.3 seconds.
 * The first name he is referred to is a throwback reference to Part IV Main Antagonist, Yoshikage Kira. In Chapter 3, when his apartment is visited, other references to the villain can be found, such as a collection of nail clippings. When he is given the name "Josuke Higashikata", his name is written in a different kanji (定助, instead of 仗助) than that of the Part IV protagonist's. Of note is that this name is pronounced the same as Norisuke IV's birth name.
 * The protagonist's amnesia and initial identification with "Yoshikage Kira" draws a parallel to Under Execution Under Jailbreak, in which Kira is shown to be a wandering ghost with no knowledge of his identity or his whereabouts. The shared name with the Part IV protagonist becomes another throwback reference to Part IV.
 * The brand of his hat is SBR, a clear reference to the Steel Ball Run.
 * If his name truly were Yoshikage Kira, then he would be the first main protagonist with the name of a past antagonist. The first main protagonist in the series without the "JoJo" reference is Gyro Zeppeli.
 * His amnesia with regards to his own identity seems to reference Rohan Kishibe's Heaven's Door, which is capable of reading memories of a target that do not also belong to Rohan himself.
 * The Protagonist is set to appear in the upcoming game Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle (PS3 Game).He was announced in the Shonen Jump magazine along with Part 4's Kira.
 * The protagonist's All Star Battle VA is the original VA for Noriaki Kakyoin in the original Heritage for the Future.
 * Along with Koichi and Giorno, who are voiced by Romi Park. Both Kakyoin and Josuke are the few characters to have the same voice actor, Mitsuaki Madono, in different games. Mitsuaki Madono dubbed Kakyoin in the "Heritage for the Future" and Josuke in "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle ".
 * Fans gave him the name Jo2uke or Gappy (in reference to his teeth) so he won't be mixed up with Part 4's Protagonist.
 * There are many indications from the attire and personality that link the new Josuke to Jotaro Kujo. These clues include his hat (New Josuke is protective of it and it bears a plate with a hand on it similar to Jotaro's hat), when fighting Fun Fun Fun he attacks him with a flurry of punches while shouting ORA ORA ORA, and on the third color page he is wearing a shirt with the words "WRRRYYYY" and "ORA ORA ORA". Other similarities include his attire that include marine themes which are a reference to Jotaro's occupation as a Marine Biologist.
 * In a way, Josuke and Part 3 Dio bear some similarities with each other: Both of them are a "fusion" between two beings and both bodies were originally submerged in the beginning of their respective parts: Dio being underwater and Josuke under a pile of dirt.
