Tsurugi Higashikata
Tsurugi Higashikata is the son of Jobin Higashikata and Mitsuba featured in Part VIII: Jojolion.
Appearance/Personality
Despite being a young boy, Tsurugi, like the first born sons in the Higashikata family for their first 12 years of life, is raised as a girl to ward off a curse. The majority of his face is covered by a large pair of black sunglasses. Aside from this, his attire consists of a scarf, a polka-dot dress and a pair of flats.
He also displays a seemingly obsessive interest in origami, and harbors an unusual interest in the scent of Yasuho Hirose's hair. He has an odd interest in the Higashikata family's prosperity, and seems to become offended by Yasuho spending so much time with them, attacking her with his Stand and toying with her.
Synopsis
As Jobin's "daughter", he appears to fit in quite well in the Higashikata family. He was present during the family photo and was introduced by Norisuke Higashikata IV. He is usually being carried around by Mitsuba.
Later, Yasuho encounters him after being taken to the Higashikata's basement. After attempting to play with her and having taken her phone, she discovers that he is male after some struggle. Daunted, Yasuho leaves to the outside, though not before Tsurugi casts what is presumably a stand ability on her after having touched her phone which he transformed into an origami frog.

Trivia
- He was first introduced as being 2 years old, but his age was later retconned into 9.
- He is the second introduced cross-dressing character in the series, the first being Part 7's Hot Pants.
- As Tsurugi has a odd fascination with origami and has a stand-related ability with it, he may be the SBR-counterpart of Terunosuke Miyamoto as the latter had a odd fascination with fear and his stand would seal someone into a piece of paper.
