History

Background

Norisuke lived in the Sendai Domain.[1] According to Tsurugi Higashikata's explanation of the Higashikata family's superstitious beliefs of warding away "demons of sickness", Norisuke, being the firstborn son of his family, was raised as a girl until age twelve.[3] At some point when he was 68 years old, a report on Norisuke was published in a newspaper for having two navels, considering it one of the oddities of the world. His parents and grandparents only had one navel, and research was being conducted on his navels by several medical experts.[1]

Steel Ball Run

Norisuke showing Hot Pants the newspaper

Norisuke places first during the 4th STAGE of the Steel Ball Run race. Following the end of the 4th STAGE, Norisuke is seen trying to get water for his horse while talking with Hot Pants about how he had gotten first place. He directs her to a newspaper with an article on him, revealing the fact that he had two navels. He asks Hot Pants if she wants to touch them, though she refuses out of disgust. He states that she had made the right choice, as it would have been improper of someone like her to touch it.[1]

Sandman stabs Norisuke

During Gyro and Johnny's fight with Sandman in the 5th stage, Norisuke is seen watching from afar from within the field of corn. Initially suspected to be the owner of the enemy Stand, he walks towards the protagonists to ask them about the current situation, only to be stabbed from behind by Sandman. At the end of the fight, he appears to be fine, presumably healed by Hot Pants.

Norisuke Higashikata finishes the race in 2nd place[4] with a total of 353 points. As a result, he wins around $8,333 USD (¥1,000,000). In total, his prize money for the race is around $18,333 USD (¥2,200,000).[b] In the aftermath of the race, he is seen on board the ship that Johnny Joestar boards, and greets him with a salute. A younger Japanese woman is seen standing beside him which is eventually revealed as his daughter Rina Higashikata.

Trivia

Notes

  1. ↑ In SBR Chapter 40, it is stated in a newspaper that Norisuke is 68 years old. Since the race takes place in 1890, he would've been born around 1822. However, JoJolion's Higashikata family tree states that Norisuke was born in 1846, which would put his age at 44 during the Steel Ball Run race. Thus, there is a massive age discrepancy of 24 years.
  2. ↑ The prizes for the runner-ups are originally stated as dollar amounts in SBR Chapter 1, but the final results page in SBR Chapter 95 uses the same numbers as yen amounts. The dollar amounts for the yen prizes are calculated based on the conversion rate in SBR Chapter 1's tailpiece.
