pertaining to the series.<ref name="veller">[[JOJOVELLER]]: History 1979-2013</ref> The two had decided on "Jonathan" as the series's protagonist, however, Araki also wanted the initials to match in a way similar to the American filmmaker, {{W\|Steven Spielberg}} (S.S.). They eventually landed on the name, "[[Jonathan Joestar]]" (J.J) and thus the nickname "JoJo" was born.<ref name="PBPS2">[[Interview Archive#Phantom Blood PS2\|Interview with Hirohiko Araki - Phantom Blood (PS2) - 2006]]</ref> Jonathan was rumored to be named after "Jonathan's Family Restaurant," however, both Araki and Kabashima confirm this was an urban myth that formed among fans back in the day. Araki had also brought up the name during a [[Interview Archive#2006 to 2015\|2006 interview]], but he claims the interviewer had mentioned it and he just went along with it by accident. Coincidentally, their later meetings during Parts 2 and 3 were held at said Jonathan's restaurant.<ref name="jojonicle">[[JOJOnicle]]: Long Interview with Ryosuke Kabashima</ref> ==~~Trivia~~Gallery== {{Tabber \|Manga\| <gallery> JoJo 6251JoJos2.jpg\|[[JoJo 6251]] JoJo 6251JoJos.jpg\|JoJo 6251 JoJo 6251C.jpg\|JoJo 6251 JoJo 6251D.jpg\|JoJo 6251 WSJ1997No13Ann500.png\|[[Weekly Shonen Jump]] 1997 Issue #13 (500th Anniversary Poster) 2007JoestarZeppeli.jpg\|Protagonist Posters (2007) 2007JoestarZeppeliPoster.jpg\|Protagonist Posters (2007) Jojo 25th anniversary newspaper.png\|Hirohiko Araki's 30th Anniversary & JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's 25th Anniversary All jojos.jpg\|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's 25th Anniversary QFRONT Building Advertisement All JOJOs Araki Works.jpg\|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's 25th Anniversary QFRONT Building Advertisement JoJonicle Bizarre Words 1 Clean.jpg\|[[JoJo's Bizarre Words]] Part 1~3 JoJoBizarreWords1-3.png\|JoJo's Bizarre Words Part 1~3 JoJoBizarreWords.png\|JoJo's Bizarre Words JoJo's Bizarre Words sketch.jpg\|JoJo's Bizarre Words Sketch JojovellerBoxCover.png\|[[JOJOVELLER]] JoJovellerJoJos.png\|JOJOVELLER Artbook Araki Hoodie Sketch.jpg\|[[Ultra Jump]] 2022 Issue #9 JOJO magazine 2022 WINTER Cover Full.png\|[[JOJO magazine 2022 WINTER]] </gallery> \|Anime\| <gallery> U-001 purple.jpg\|[[Crusade]] JoJo USA DVD.png\|[[Home Video Releases#Collections\|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Warner Bros.

The only time the stylized "GioGio" is mentioned by another character is during the ending scene of the light novel [[Purple Haze Feedback]] wherein [[Pannacotta Fugo]] and [[Giorno Giovanna]] discuss the events of the story. Giorno tells Fugo to "do him a favor" and call him "GioGio" instead of "Boss", Fugo replies by swearing his allegiance and refers to him as "GioGio". *[[Joaquín Ruiz-Jorruda]], one of the main protagonists of [[rey infinito]], technically counts as a JoJo because of the way his name is spelt. However, the J's in his name are pronounced like an H. ==Notes== Line 51 ⟶ 106: {{Languages}} {{Concepts}} {{Icon\|PB}}{{Icon\|BT}}{{Icon\|SC}}{{Icon\|DU}}{{Icon\|VA}}{{Icon\|SO}}{{Icon\|SBR}}{{Icon\|JJL}}{{Icon\|TJL}}{{Icon\|JORGE}} [[Category:Joestar Family]] [[Category:Main Protagonists]]
