In the light novel ''JORGE JOESTAR'', Kosaku appears in the 37th universe. [[Yoshikage Kira (JORGE JOESTAR)|Yoshikage Kira]]{{Universe|37|Yoshikage Kira}} sets [[Bites the Dust]] on Kosaku to prevent anyone from discovering his identity after detectives start appearing in [[Morioh]]. His hairstyle is perfectly combed back, light, and striped by black strands, just like the Matured Kira in the original universe. Like Kira, he also wears a suit and a tie patterned with a column of skull emblems.<ref name="JORGE16">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 16}}</ref>▼
At 8 AM on July 24, 2012, Kosaku and [[Diavolo (JORGE JOESTAR)|Diavolo]]{{Universe|?|Diavolo}} are lured to [[Arrow Cross House]] by [[Enrico Pucci (JORGE JOESTAR)|Enrico Pucci]]{{Universe|37|Enrico Pucci}}. When Diavolo asks whether he's Kira, Bites the Dust activates. However, Diavolo uses [[King Crimson]] to delete the moment where Bites the Dust blows him up. With both still alive, time turns back an hour and then loops the same events. Eventually, Pucci speeds up time with [[Made in Heaven]] preventing either of them from moving and then slits their throats.<ref name="JORGE15">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 15}}</ref> Their bodies are found by [[Team Bucciarati]]{{Universe|37|Team Bucciarati}} in the study of Arrow Cross House, although they assume Kosaku's body is actually Kira.<ref name="JORGE14">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 14}}</ref>▼
[[Leone Abbacchio (JORGE JOESTAR)|Leone Abbacchio]]{{Universe|37|Leone Abbacchio}} tries using his Stand [[Videodrome]] to determine what happened to them, but there is no record of them from midnight until eight AM, due to the time loop they were in before they died as well as Pucci speeding up time. [[Rohan Kishibe (JORGE JOESTAR)|Rohan Kishibe]]{{Universe|37|Rohan Kishibe}} also attempts to use [[Heaven's Door]] but every page is filled with the word 'death'. After Abbacchio and [[NYPD Blue]] perform an autopsy on their bodies, [[George Joestar II|George Joestar]]{{Universe|O|George Joestar II}} finally discovers the truth of how they died.<ref name="JORGE15" />▼
====Parallel World====▼
[[File:Jorge 16-54.jpg|thumb|right|Kosaku protecting his family]]▼
[[Kars]] and [[Jorge Joestar (Joji)|Jorge Joestar]]{{Universe|37|Jorge}} are teleported to a parallel world version of Morioh within the 37th universe as a result of [[The Funniest Valentine]]'s [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]]. They enter a house on the edge of Morioh where they meet Kosaku and his family. In this world, Kosaku works in manufacturing.
Seeing Kars, Kosaku desperately screams at Shinobu and Hayato to run away. Kars asks whether he's Kira and Kosaku confirms that he's a serial killer, causing Bites the Dust to explode. As Kars is immune to explosions, he puts Jorge inside him and travels back in time an hour.▼
However, this Kosaku is not actually Yoshikage Kira. Kars later explains that Kosaku did not smell of blood at all and was made into a bomb with Bites the Dust by the real Kira. Jorge realizes Kosaku said he was a serial killer because he felt guilty of how many people he indirectly killed with Bites the Dust. Jorge is glad that Kosaku hasn't died and could keep his family from harm. He becomes more motivated to catch Kira so Kosaku would be free from Bites the Dust.<ref name="JORGE16" />▼
