Josuke est un jeune adolescent de taille supérieure à la moyenne et une constitution athlétique. Il est reconnaissable par son pompadour proéminent et qu'il maintient avec attention, une coiffure inspirée de son homme inconnu qui l'a sauvé alors qu'il était petit.[1] Si Josuke est en colère, son pompadour à tendance à légèrement se défaire avec des mèches en piquants qui sortent de sa coiffure.

Josuke porte un uniforme scolaire Japonais sombre qu'il a modifié. Son haut est assez moulant et montre sa musculature mais son pantalon est plus ample. Il ne boutonne pas son haut, révélant une sous-chemise avec des fermetures éclairs de par et d'autre de sa poitrine. Il a des boucles d'oreille simples constitués d'un petit joyau rond dans chaque lobe.

Josuke porte plusieurs accessoires distinctifs. Sur la gauche de son col, il porte une broche métallique en forme d'ancre, sur la droite deux broches en forme de coeur. Il accroche à la droite de sa veste un symbole de paix (☮), et sur la gauche une broche en coeur (à l'occasion le coeur entoure un symbole de main ouverte). Un porte des rubans sur ses poignets.

Josuke aime sortir avec style et porte des chaussettes originales de la marque Mr. Junko, des chaussures de la marque Bally coûtant ¥25000[2], and des sous-vêtements Moschino.[3]

La palette la plus commune de la tenue de Josuke est un uniforme bleyu-violet et une chemise jaune/verte.

Personality

Je me charge de protéger cette ville et ma mère. A la place de mon grand-père... quoiqu'il arrive...
—Josuke Higashikata, Chapter 270: Josuke Higashikata! Meets Angelo, Part 2
Josuke jure de protéger Morioh

Josuke est un adolescent paisible, perspicace et confiant. D'un naturel amical, Joseph se fait plusieurs amis et alliés fidèle durant l'histoire.

Le trait de caractère principal de Josuke est sa bonté, qui se reflète dans le pouvoir de réparer et de soigner de son Stand Crazy Diamond[4]. Quand il a contracté une forte fièvre à cinq and et il était coincé dans un blizzard avec sa mère, un jeune inconnu a aidé les Higashikata à redémarrer leur voiture et sauvé Josuke.[1] Depuis, Josuke reflète inconsciemment cette bonté. Par exemple, lorsqu'il apprend de qui il est le fils, Josuke pense d'abord aux problèmes qu'il cause à la famille Joestar, veut faire savoir à Joseph qu'il va bien et ignore l'héritage qu'il pourrait avoir.[5] D'une nature pacifique, Josuke tolérait qu'une bande de voyou le victimise[6] et su tolérer la cupidité de Shigechi.[7]

Josuke est loyal à sa famille et ses amis. Il est prêt à risquer sa vie pour sauver par exemple Koichi lorsu'il a été percé par la Flèche et traîné dans la maison de Keicho[8]; il a aussi voulu sauver Okuyasu même s'il semblait qu'il était déjà mort durant son combat final contre Yoshikage Kira.[9] D'ailleurs quand son grand-père expira, Josuke jura de devenir le protecteur de Morioh[10]. Dans des circonstances paisible, Josuke est toujours poli et amical. Il est aussi toujours en compagnie d'autrui quand il sort dans les rues de Morioh.

Josuke avec Koichi Hirose

En général, Josuke a les habitudes est un adolescent typique. S'il veut protéger Morioh de la menace des Stands, il est plus concerné par des sujet plus ordinaire comme passer du temps avec ses amis. Josuke protège Morioh de façon passive, par contraste à Jotaro qui est plus actif, et n'agit que lorsqu'on l'enrôle ou qu'il rencontre un manieur de Stand maléfique directement.

Josuke a peur des tortues

Comme son père, Josuke est visiblement assez maladroit. Josuke est curieux et a tendance à enquêter sans penser sur n'importe quel phénomène inhabituel, ce qui le mène souvent à un manieur de Stand. Josuke va aussi s'exprimer sur ses pensées plus souvent, ce qui peut le tourner en ridicule. Josuke a une certaine humilité et dit être nerveux autour de célébrités, choisissant d'éviter de rencontrer le fameux mangaka Rohan Kishibe[11]. Josuke a aussi très peur des tortues et essaya, sans succès d'en approcher une juste pour confrontrer sa peur[6]. Il reconnait aussi être nul aux jeux vidéos même s'il n'aime pas qu'on le sache. Josuke veut être à la hauteur de Jotaro, qu'il admire, et fut à un moment nerveux quand Jotaro lui mis la pression en lui faisant confiance pour tuer Mushikui[12]. Josuke semble aussi avoir peur des fantômes; quand Koichi demande si une maison est hantée, Josuke devient nerveux et lui dit d'arrêter d'en parler.

Josuke vise calmement Mushikui au moment critique

Malgré tout, Josuke est confiant au combat, étant plus calme et observateur même s'il reste toujours un adolescent ordinaire au fond de lui. Josuke a une confiance sans faille en ses capacités dont son Stand, même s'il devient nerveux si les choses vont mal. Terunosuke Miyamoto révèle qu'il a tic nerveux quand il a peut, qui est de se mordre la lèvre inférieure[13]. Même s'il est gentil en temps normal, Josuke peut cogner très violemment ses ennemis sans broncher. Si un ennemi a visé ses proches, alors Josuke peut les soumettres à un sort pire que la mort en les frappant et les mélangeant à des objets comme une pierre avec Anjuro Katagiri[14] ou un livre comme pour Terunosuke[15], les imprisonnant pour l'éternité sans qu'ils puissent s'échapper.

Jouske et Okuyasu Nijimura joyeux à l'idée d'amasser beaucoup d'argent

Josuke semble avoir hérité du côté malicieux de Joseph puisqu'il ne respecte pas vraiment la loi, notamment lorsqu'il s'agit de gagner de l'argent. Après avoir vidé son compte en banque par des dépenses inconsidérées, Josuke essaie régulièrement de gagner vite de l'argent. En rencontrant le petit Shigechi, Josuke concote rapidement un plan pour gagner de l'argent en exploitant le Harvest de Shigechi[16], allant jusqu'à rouler un banquier pour gagner l'argent d'un ticket de loterie gagnant[17]. De même après sa rencontre avec Mikitaka Hazekura, il prend avantage de son pouvoir de transformation pour essayer de tricher à un jeu de dé contre Rohan, avec qui ils se détestaient cordialement[18]. A la fin de l'histoire, Josuke a aussi volé le portefeuille de Joseph en feignant de donner une photo souvenir de Tomoko à Joseph avant de la restaurer et faire flotter le portefeuille à lui[19]. De fait, Josuke n'a aucune problème à mettre en danger autrui ou causer de la destruction car son pouvoir de réparation permet d'annuler toute conséquence néfaste.

Josuke et ses admiratrices

Josuke a ses groupies mais à l'instar de Jotaro, semble mieux les tolérer. Josuke n'est pas obsédé comme Joseph et ne les ordonne pas non plus de s'en aller comme Jotaro. Il est plutôt flatté par leur attention et s'entend bien avec elle[5]. Quand Jotaro l'enrôle pour chasser le rat, Josuke méprend la "chasse" pour une tentative de draguer des filles et dit qu'il est plus quelqu'un qui croit à l'amour[12]. Josuke n'a pas de problème à combattre une fille et était prêt à affronter Yukako Yamagishi par exemple, laquelle menacait Koichi[20]. Une erreur de caractérisation est faite durant l'arc Highway Star car il est dit qu'il est jaloux des copines de Yuya alors que Josuke lui-même a déjà au moins une dizaine d'admiratrices. En fin de compte, Josuke ne s'intéresse pas vraiment aux filles sans être chaste.

Josuke utilise souvent le mot Anglais "Great" comme phrase fétiche. Il dit aussi assez souvent "kakkoii" (かっこいい), un mot Japonais qui peut se traduire comme "cool".

Qu'est-ce-que t'as dit sur ma coiffure ?!

Josuke a un sévère tic de caractère et se met tout de suite en colère quand on insulte son pompadour ou qu'il croit qu'on se moque de sa coiffure aussi[5]. Koichi interprète celà comme une réagir à une insulte à son sauveur mais Josuke lui-même ne se l'explique pas et dit que c'est instinctif[1]. Si on le met ainsi en colère, Josuke entre dans une rage terrible peu importe les circonstance et devient plus vulgaire et violent. La victime peut être un senior de l'école dont il tolérait le harcèlement calmement il n'y avait pas quelques secondes[6] ou même Jotaro. Il a même déformé le nez du senior comme vengeance. Contre Rohan, on révèle que Josuke est litéralement aveuglé par la colère et ne perçoit pas ses dessins, et Josuke le bat si violemment que Rohan termine à l'hôpital pour un mois[1].

Pouvoirs et compétences

Stand

Main article: Crazy Diamond
Josuke et Crazy Diamond

Le Stand de Josuke, Crazy Diamond, peut restaurer n'importe quel objet et personne à un état passé.

Il est capable de réparer n'importe quel dégât et des blessures. Il peut aussi retourner un objet en ses composantss d'origines (par exemple une table en bûches).

Grâce à ce pouvoir étrange, Crazy Diamond peut effectuer des actions particulières comme piéger un ennemi en restaurant un objet autour de lui, ou traquer quelqu'un en forçant une partie de lui à retourner à son propriétaire par exemple.

Crazy Diamond a cependant quelques limites. Il ne peut pas ressusciter un corps mort et même si le corps est soigné, la personne ne peut pas retourner à la vie. De plus, Josuke ne peut pas utiliser son pouvoir son lui-même ou en tout cas sur ce qui peut être considéré comme une partie de lui. Il peut par exemple affecter un peu de son sang qui a séché au sol.

Maîtrise

Josuke fait preuve d'une grande compétence quand il manie Crazy Diamond au combat. Grâce à la grande force physique de Crazy Diamond, Josuke peut effectuer des stratagèmes non conventionnels comme par exemple détruire un mur pour le traverser et ensuite le réparer et s'échapper. Crazy Diamond a aussi la force et la précision nécessaire pour que Josuke puisse lancer des projectiles avec une grande efficacité.

Additionally, Josuke has been shown to use his seemingly restricted power for a wide array of tactical goals. Crazy Diamond's power of repairing anything makes Josuke a great healer, as long as he can reach his allies before they die, and he works exceptionally well with a partner as a result. Because he can break objects and repair them, Josuke is liberal in breaking anything to get something he wants such as a more favorable position or a key item like fuel for a motorcycle, use a precious item as leverage, or even destroy his motorcycle to avoid a baby carriage; he then repairs anything he's broken, cancelling any consequence his antics would have. Josuke can easily exploit the environment to his advantage thanks to Crazy Diamond. His ability to repair makes it so he can manipulate the environment to a certain point, like creating a shield out of concrete or laying down a trap with an object's broken pieces only to repair it around an enemy. The deadliness of his projectile is also increased as he can create a boomerang effect by forcing a piece to come back to him, hitting an enemy from behind.

Personal

De façon similaire à son père, Josuke est astucieux, courageux et plein de confiance, ayant une certaine intellience et une grande détermination.

Intelligence: Josuke is extremely quick to get on his feet under almost any circumstance as he is very aware of his immediate surroundings as well as his own capabilities. He is proficient in utilizing anything he has within reach for dealing with problems at hand and is also shown to be capable of planning several steps ahead by reading opponents' behavior and habits. Josuke is very confident of his abilities to the point of claiming that there is nothing Crazy Diamond (indirectly referring to himself) can't fix and expresses mild disappointment after figuring out what he thought would have been one such problem. As a result of his intellect, Josuke can be quite cunning; manipulating, lying, and cheating others occasionally to achieve certain selfish goals.

Physical Fitness: Josuke possesses substantial athletic ability. He has been shown once to have successfully chased down a moving bus over long distances completely on foot, and can handle a heavy motorbike effortlessly for the first and only time riding it while achieving many otherwise professional feats during a high-speed chase in attempts to avoid direct contacts with the enemy chasing after him. The most well known demonstration of Josuke's physical toughness is shown when he withstands exposure to several explosions generated by Yoshikage Kira's Killer Queen, sustaining heavy injuries and blood loss but remaining conscious enough to think of countermeasures and tactics.


Relations

Amis et autres citoyens de Morio

  • Koichi Hirose: Josuke is close friends with Koichi and frequently looks out for his well-being. When Koichi becomes victim to Yukako's intense affection toward him, Josuke takes measures to make Koichi seem less attractive. Josuke respects Koichi's bravery in dire times and sees him as a good friend and worthy ally, trusting him for help throughout various battles.
  • Okuyasu Nijimura: Initially, Josuke and Okuyasu met as enemies, but after hearing out Okuyasu's story and motives, Josuke becomes best friends with him. The two frequently hang out with each other and experience day-to-day misadventures. They often encounter or fight Stand users together such as Tonio, Otoishi, Shigechi, Mikitaka, Toyohiro, and Kira. They have such a strong bond that when Okuyasu was attacked and nearly killed by Kira, Josuke refused to leave him even though it seemed Okuyasu was dead and dragging his body slowed Josuke down.
  • Rohan Kishibe: Josuke and Rohan initially met as enemies due to Rohan nearly killing Koichi and Okuyasu. Josuke then gets his hair insulted by Rohan and pummels him in blinded rage. Although their views of each other cool down after that, they do not view each other any more amicably. Rohan becomes suspicious of Josuke's attempts to cheat money from him and Josuke becomes suspicious of Rohan's attempts at revenge. Despite this, the two hold some begrudging respect and trust in each other. Due to their contrasting personalities, Rohan had difficulty getting Josuke to listen to him during the fight with Highway Star and saved Josuke's life while risking his own. Josuke started to respect Rohan after that and risked his life in return by looking for Yuya Fungami in hopes of rescuing Rohan. Although Josuke has healed Rohan's pinky during their game of Cee-lo, and then healed him again after Highway Star, Rohan gets angry afterwards because he never asked Josuke to do so.
  • Mikitaka Hazekura: Josuke and Mikitaka see each other as close friends. Mikitaka is especially thankful of Josuke for "saving his life" by finding him in a crop circle and getting him away from loud sirens later on. Josuke does not hesitate to have Mikitaka use his ability to attempt to scam money from Rohan, but becomes worried when Mikitaka displays signs of sickness and attempts to look out for his friend's well-being. In addition, Josuke is moved when Mikitaka offers to sacrifice his freedom to save Josuke from Super Fly during their fight against Toyohiro, and does everything in his power to save him. Overall, the two are good loyal friends who stand by each other.
  • Josuke's Savior: In a past incident in which Josuke had a fever and the car his mom drove was stuck in a snowstorm, an unnamed student with a pompadour took off his coat and placed it underneath the car. By doing so, the car was able to start up and drive over the coat safely as the student pushed the car from behind. This caused Josuke to look up to the student as a role model, and hence style his own hair in a similar manner and to live his life based on how he believed his hero would act. Josuke's admiration is so strong that when someone insults his pompadour, Josuke takes it as an insult to his hero and beats up whoever insulted his hair.
  • Yukako Yamagishi: The two did not start off on good terms due to Yukako's initial obsession and kidnapping of Koichi. When Josuke saw her again, he threatened to kill her if she did anything to Koichi, though she promised not to. The two were stated to have a relationship where they don't care for each other, but after she and Koichi begin dating, Josuke was seen hanging with her and Okuyasu at a cafe in Chapter 371 (notably without Koichi).
  • Shigekiyo Yangu: Initially, Shigekiyo was friendly to Josuke and Okuyasu as he was glad to make new friends. Josuke and Okuyasu referred to him as "Shigechi". Together, they decided to use Shigechi's powers to their advantage to earn some easy money. However, when Shigechi got greedy and failed to keep his promise of sharing an equal amount of money with Josuke and Okuyasu, it led to a confrontation. Josuke and Okuyasu managed to defeat him and Shigechi re-befriended the two. While still annoyed by his greed, Josuke was distraught upon learning Shigechi was murdered by Kira and swore to get revenge for him.
  • Yuya Fungami: The two initially started out as enemies as Yuya used his Stand to absorb nutrients from both Rohan and him. Since he was injured, Josuke healed his wounds so that it would be a "fair fight" and then immediately punched him again several times, knocking him out the window. However, when Terunosuke captured Koichi, Josuke went to Yuya for help finding Koichi with his sense of smell in exchange for Josuke healing his wounds. Yuya agreed but stated he wouldn't help fight the Stand user. Despite this, Yuya put his life on the line to save Josuke and Koichi, earning Josuke's respect. The two soon became friends afterwards.
  • Reimi Sugimoto: While Josuke did not have much interaction with Reimi as much as she did with Rohan and Koichi, he did still seem to care for her and felt sorry for her condition. He also didn't seem scared of her, despite his initial fear of ghosts. He listened to her advice about the serial killer Stand user Kira and bid her farewell when she left.
  • Hayato Kawajiri: Hayato found out his father was replaced by Kira and when trying to expose Kira ended up being saved by Josuke. He gave advice to Josuke throughout his fight with Kira despite not having a Stand, such as exposing a weakness in Kira's Stand ability. Josuke in turn admires Hayato's bravery, such as when he allows himself to set off the bomb on Okuyasu's body in place of Josuke, as Hayato sees Josuke and his allies as the only way to stop Kira. He played an integral part in helping Josuke fight against Kira while Josuke protected him, becoming friends in the process.

Famille

  • Tomoko Higashikata: Josuke is very close to his mother, as her emotions towards Joseph are much of the reason for his animosity towards his father. He considers her a strong woman and the two love each other deeply. Though he loves his mother, he can be annoyed by her strictness such as telling him to go to bed early or when she froze his bank account after learning he earned 1 billion yen. Both act very informally with each other.
  • Ryohei Higashikata: Josuke respects his maternal grandfather and looks up to him due to his profession as a police officer. The two are very close and Ryohei has a habit of pranking Josuke. When he was killed by Angelo, Josuke got his revenge by fusing Angelo to a rock for eternity to stay in the town his grandfather protected.
  • Jotaro Kujo: Despite having fought Jotaro when they first met, Josuke has quickly grown to trust him especially after their battle with Angelo and after Jotaro tells him the details behind Stand users in Morioh. Later, when Jotaro takes him out hunting, Josuke is quick to accept and trusts his strategy. They also band together to fight against Yoshikage Kira. Although Josuke is technically Jotaro's uncle, he looks up to Jotaro as a mentor while Jotaro cares for Josuke as a younger brother, though is also mildly exasperated by the latter's temper and rougher-around-the-edge Stand abilities. The two have been described as having a relationship of mutual trust and respect, though Josuke tends to feel pressured by Jotaro due to his greater experience and power. He also looks up to Jotaro calling his Star Platinum invincible during his fight with Akira Otoishi and again when fighting Yoshihiro Kira.
  • Joseph Joestar: Before meeting his father, Josuke preferred that he would just leave because he thought it was too late for Joseph to get involved with him and his mother. Josuke states that he doesn't hate him, but it would be awkward meeting him now and would rather have him leave them in peace as it's always been. However, he fights against Otoishi to protect Joseph's life because he believes he'll be seeing bad dreams if he isn't able to help his father. When Joseph first arrives at Morioh with a broken cane, Josuke also helps him walk by holding his hand instead of repairing it. Upon seeing Joseph's strong desire to help people when he endangered his life to save Shizuka, Josuke starts to warm up to him. By the end of the manga, he's happily accepting of his father, though still steals his wallet.
  • Shizuka Joestar: When he and Joseph found her, they were surprised by her powers and did their best to take care of her and find her parents. Josuke was concerned when her powers caused her and everything around her to turn invisible and did his best to make sure she was unharmed. He also thinks of her as cute. Considering the limited interactions between the two, it is safe to assume the two get along, especially now that they are siblings (as Joseph later adopts Shizuka).

Ennemis

  • Yoshikage Kira: After Kira killed Shigechi, Josuke swore to avenge him and developed a grudge against Kira. While Josuke loathed Kira, the latter didn't think much of Josuke and as an enemy, preferred to avoid any confrontation with him. However, during their final battle, Kira noticed that Josuke's ability to repair things was the perfect counter to Killer Queen's ability. After realizing that Josuke is the most terrifying person getting in the way of his peace of mind rather than Jotaro, Kira was more cautious during their fight.
  • Yoshihiro Kira: Because Yoshihiro is Yoshikage's greatest ally, Josuke and Yoshihiro are enemies. Josuke bears a grudge against Yoshihiro and the latter made several attempts to kill Josuke including attacking him with his Stand and creating several Stand users. Josuke manages to kill Yoshihiro by tricking Yoshikage, who unknowingly makes his father explode.
  • Anjuro Katagiri: Due to Angelo murdering his grandfather, Josuke despised him and made a vow to protect Morioh from criminals like him. Josuke would later take his revenge by turning Angelo into a rock.
  • Akira Otoishi: Out of empathy for Okuyasu losing his brother to Otoishi, Josuke disliked Otoishi and knew he had to be stopped. When confronting Josuke in his own home, Otoishi underestimated his abilities and thought he could defeat Josuke with only his pinky. When Otoishi threatens to murder Joseph, Josuke fights seriously against him and after his defeat, Otoishi cooperates by staying in prison due to fear of being hunted down by Jotaro.
  • Terunosuke Miyamoto: In order to lure out Josuke, Terunosuke trapped Josuke's mother and Koichi inside pieces of paper. Josuke was angered by him for being someone who would take people hostage, most notably his mother. Josuke would later get his revenge by turning Terunosuke into a book and leaving him in the Morioh library.
  • Keicho Nijimura: Josuke and Keicho met as enemies due to the latter's involvement in putting Morioh's population in danger and shooting Koichi in the throat. While Josuke detested Keicho's callousness toward his own brother, he felt sympathetic towards the brothers after learning of their father's fate, recognizing some decency in Keicho and offered a truce. Keicho, plagued by the thought of his past crimes, rejected the truce and was killed by Otoishi soon afterwards.
  • Toyohiro Kanedaichi: Originally acting friendly towards Josuke, Toyohiro reveals that his kindness was only a ploy in an attempt to kill him. After a brief fight, Toyohiro tells Josuke and the others that he is trapped by his Stand and was just trying to escape. He then dropped all hostility towards Josuke and his friends and informed him that Koichi was being attacked by another Stand user.

The Book: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 4th Another Day

  • Takuma Hasumi: After learning that there was another murderer in Morioh, Josuke went on an investigation that eventually led him to confront Takuma. While the two have only brief interactions, Josuke was angry at Takuma for assaulting Okuyasu and his mother and insulting his hero. In the end, Josuke unintentionally killed him by pushing him off a roof.
