Josuke Higashikata
Josuke Higashikata (東方 定助, Higashikata Jōsuke) est le protagoniste de la huitième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion, et le huitième JoJo de la série.
Josuke est un jeune homme atteint d'amnésie rétrograde, n'ayant aucun souvenir de sa vie avant d'être découvert par Yasuho Hirose près des Murs qui Voient dans la ville de Morioh. Il se consacre à découvrir son identité et quelle était son ancienne vie.
L'identité originale de Josuke était Josefumi Kujo (空条 仗世文, Kūjō Josefumi), et est devenu ce qu'il est actuellement après avoir fusionné avec Yoshikage Kira (吉良 吉影, Kira Yoshikage). Josuke est un manieur de Stand et utilise Soft & Wet, car appartenait à Josefumi.
Apparence
Josuke est un jeune homme en bonne forme physique de taille supérieure à la moyenne. Josuke a un diastème entre ses incisives supérieures (bref, ses incisives sont espacées) et une marque de naissance en forme d'étoile sur son épaule gauche. Il a deux séries d'iris, deux langues, toutes réunies en une seule, différant par leur texture et leur couleur, et enfin quatre testicules. Après avoir consommé une fiole de Locacaca 6251, de petites plaques de roches sur le haut du corps et le visage de Josuke se sont transformées en pierre, y compris sur son œil gauche.
Il porte une casquette de marin "Dixie cup" à glands (sur plusieurs illustrations, elle est ornée des mêmes insignes sur la paume que le chapeau de Jotaro Kujo). Il porte un costume de marin avec un col large et coupé au-dessus du nombril (exposant sa tache de naissance dans les dernières représentations), un foulard avec un bouton ressemblant à une tête de vis fendue, de grands emblèmes d'une ancre sur la droite de sa poitrine et une rose des vents sur la gauche, un pantalon ajusté avec une ceinture et une paire de chaussures de sport montantes.
Yasuho dit qu'il ressemble un peu à son ancien chien, Josuke.
Palettes
Personnalité
Le Josuke Higashikata, provisoirement nommé, est un amnésique un peu excentrique déterminé à apprendre sa véritable identité et son passé.
Josuke est atteint d'amnésie, n'ayant aucune mémoire de lui-même ou de sa vie avant de rencontrer Yasuho Hirose, mais ayant des connaissances techniques.[1] À ce titre, Josuke est déterminé à découvrir qui il était en enquêtant sur les circonstances de sa présence à Morioh avant d'être sauvé par Yasuho. Ce but occupe la quasi-totalité de sa vie et aucune action de sa part ne se fait sans chercher à atteindre cette vérité. Cette motivation est suffisamment forte pour qu'il soit disposé à interrompre un moment rare avec son amoureuse Yasuho pour enquêter sur Karera Sakunami.[2] Après avoir qui il était, Josuke s'est fixé le nouvel objectif de récupérer la branche du nouveau Locacaca et d'utiliser les fruits pour guérir Holy Joestar-Kira.[3] Il montre toujours la même diligence à enquêter sur le Locacaca et des activités de l'Organisation Locacaca. Il écoute les conseils de Rai Mamezuku, estimant qu'il vaut mieux respecter l'expertise du botaniste sur les fruits. Sa détermination à atteindre ses objectifs est mieux illustrée lorsqu'il entre volontiers dans une pluie mortelle causée par Satoru Akefu, laissant son corps se faire percer par les gouttes de pluie, y compris sa tête, juste pour atteindre l'hôpital.[4]
Josuke semble avoir conservé certains traits de ses deux identités originales. Parfois, il affiche des émotions fortes comme Josefumi tout en étant capable d'analyser des situations et d'élaborer des stratégies comme Yoshikage. Cependant, Josuke se considère finalement séparé des deux, n'étant ni Kira ni Josefumi, car il n'a aucun souvenir de l'un ou l'autre homme et personne du passé de Josefumi ne l'a cherché. Cela lui fait remettre en question ce qu'il est vraiment et considérer son identité comme nébuleuse.[5] Néanmoins, il était affligé quand il a vu pour la première fois Holy Joestar-Kira, ce qui signifie qu'il a également conservé des souvenirs subconscients suffisamment forts pour ressentir encore de l'attachement pour elle.[6]
Bien que Josuke puisse être violent parfois, il a également une certaine retenue à l'égard des ennemis qu'il n'a pas besoin de tuer. À plusieurs reprises, il a demandé la permission aux membres de la famille Higashikata avant de poursuivre un ennemi qui les concernait[7][8] et il a même tenu sa promesse de ne pas nuire à Jobin en essayant d'obtenir de lui des informations sur Locacaca[9]. Cependant, Josuke est prêt à se défendre et à défendre ses alliés contre quiconque souhaite leur faire du mal. Contrairement à son homologue Jotaro, Josuke peut combattre des femmes et a facilement assommé Kyo lorsqu'elle l'a attaqué.[10] Josuke n'a pas peur de menacer de tuer, et il a en effet tué Tamaki Damo de sang-froid en représailles pour avoir menacé sa famille adoptive[11] bien que son objectif principal soit de découvrir son l'identité signifie que tuer ses agresseurs est contre-productif. Cette intention de tuer est facilement déclenchée lorsque. Josuke est particulièrement vindicatif si quelqu'un s'en prend à Yasuho. Josuke s'est également avéré compétent pour manipuler les gens, notamment Jobin avec qui il adopterait un personnage plus nonchalant pour paraître inoffensif.[12] En dehors de cela, Josuke aborde ses objectifs calmement et méthodiquement.
Josuke est relativement poli et il apprécie fortement les relations familiales. Étant amnésique, Josuke met l'accent sur sa famille et son héritage, souhaitant apprendre son propre passé. Le fait que personne ne vienne le chercher pendant son hospitalisation l'attriste profondément, au point qu'il peut verser des larmes en y pensant[13]. Josuke est reconnaissant enver Norisuke Higashikata pour son adoption et se considère comme faisant partie des Higashikatas.[14]. Lorsque Karera rejette ses propres parents, Josuke fait remarquer qu'ils ne s'entendraient jamais.[15] Il est non seulement disposé à défendre sa famille adoptive, mais il désire fortement guérir Holy de sa maladie bien qu'il n'ait aucun souvenir d'elle. Cependant, Josuke continue de soupçonner des membres de la famille Higashikata de travailler contre lui. Josuke aime plus que tout Yasuho, et toute menace envers elle le met dans une colère noire. De fait, lors de sa bataille contre Yotsuyu, Josuke montra une volonté similaire à la "sombre détermination" de Johnny Joestar.[16] Cependant, pour ce qui est de ses objectifs, Josuke va droit au but et ne tolère guère qu'on tourne autour du pot. Par exemple, il n'a pas hésité à demander directement à Norisuke s'il avait tué Yoshikage Kira, forçant ce dernier à expliquer ses motivations.[17]
Despite all this, Josuke also has a certain number of humorous quirks. He seems to be totally oblivious when it comes to mundane things while at the same time retaining in-depth knowledge of animal and plant species.[18] Josuke prefers sleeping underneath a whole mattress rather than the bed sheets for "increased compression."[19] He also regularly spills food he enjoys.[20][21] During his earlier interactions with Yasuho, Josuke would pry on her breast size offhandedly, measuring it by sight (a trait that he probably gained from Yoshikage, as Holy was shown to possess a similar skill).[22] Josuke has also demonstrated a more childish side, implanting his hair into Joshu and Hato Higashikata for fun.[23] Whenever the mood is right, Josuke seems to have fun declaring his victory. He notably consciously poses after outsmarting the population of Shakedown Road[24] and also smugly claimed his win against Jobin in a stag beetle fight.[25]
Pouvoirs et compétences
Stand
Soft & Wet is Josuke's Stand. Initially belonging to Josefumi, Josuke retains it after the fusion with Kira, albeit with some minor differences.
Its primary ability ("Plunder") is to steal some aspect or property of a target; to be contained in one or more small soap bubbles (bearing the image of his birthmark), which may be returned or transferred to other objects. This ability has been used both offensively and strategically. Soft & Wet also demonstrates above-average strength and the capacity for rapid melee attack common to humanoid Stands.
Like himself, Josuke's Stand is described as a fusion of Yoshikage Kira's Killer Queen and the original Soft & Wet belonging to Josefumi Kujo.
During his fight with Yotsuyu Yagiyama, Josuke decides to "use [his] soap bubbles for offense rather than defense..." Soft & Wet is shown to be able to surround and contain objects by creating a soap bubble and punching it into said object. The bubble bursts but then reforms around the target; Josuke is then able to make the bubble and object inside float anywhere he wants to, just like his regular soap bubbles.
By combining strikes with his bubbles, he is able to "inject" one of his soap bubbles into the flesh of his opponents, causing superficial damage when he pops them. The explosive property of the bubbles was first demonstrated against the A. Phex Brothers and described by them as being very similar to Kira's ability.
Compétences personnelles
- Sight: Josuke possesses exceptional sight, being capable of accurately describing the dimensions of organic objects such as humans and trees from afar (a trait shared with Holy Joestar-Kira). Moreover he seems to have a wide field of view, spotting movement at his feet's level despite looking away.
- Hand-to-hand combat: Josuke demonstrates a natural affinity towards hand to hand combat, having fluidly blocked and struck an opponent in one swift motion, augmenting the damage his blow causes with the powers of his Stand. He is also capable of displaying high reflexes and fast reaction speed common of experienced fighters.
- Intelligence: Josuke is an extremely proficient tactician in a fight. He is able to use his Stand to various effects and predict his opponents next moves easily. Josuke is a methodical individual, having quickly deduced Born This Way's powers via simple experimentation, as well as taking advantage of Les Feuilles's characteristics despite seeing them in action only recently. Out of combat, Josuke is thorough in his investigation, being careful about covering his tracks. He has also displayed proficient skill in mathematics, having easily solved a trigonometry problem given to him by Joshu.

Relationships
Josuke's first contact is with Yasuho Hirose, his discoverer. He lives in the Higashikata family household after tentative adoption by Norisuke Higashikata IV.
Amoureuse
- Yasuho Hirose: Josuke holds Yasuho in special regard, as the first person he has ever met or known. Yasuho's casually considerate nature with Josuke in the first instance is to have naturally built with his trust. Yasuho in return is able to appreciate his innocence and empathize with his sadness over having no family. They are the only certain allies in the story so far, and they hold romantic feelings for one another. The proof of their romantic progression can be seen during the Love Love Deluxe arc where, after meeting up, the two begin holding hands and look like they are on a date. Yasuho helps him gather information on his identity and Josuke in turn protects her, becoming enraged when someone tries to harm her in any way. She is the only person Josuke whole-heartedly trusts.
Adopted Family
Josuke was adopted into the Higashikata household, thus bearing their family name. At first suspicious of them as a whole, their quirky demeanor and subsequent reveals about their motives made him open up toward them, and Josuke wishes to honor the family's kindness, making efforts not to antagonize them, at least openly.
- Norisuke Higashikata IV: Mutually suspicious; Josuke's natural curiosity as to his origins and Norisuke's intentions carries him beyond the boundaries set for him by the Higashikata patriarch as condition to his residence at the family home, which Norisuke appears to have offered under ulterior motives. He reveals that he knows Josuke has some link to Yoshikage Kira who had information on how to cure the family and for that reason adopted Josuke in hopes of acquiring that information. Norisuke later reveals himself as an ally, and the two hold a mutual trust for one another. Norisuke still places his family above all else, but seems to have grown to care for Josuke as family and even a possible surrogate son (one main example being when Damo tortures Norisuke to get information about Josefumi and Kira from him. While he knows Josuke is somehow involved, he does not rat on him until Damo threatens to kill his family. Even during this, Norisuke breaks down crying and sincerely apologizes to Josuke for not being able to protect him, showing the depth of his care).
- Daiya Higashikata: After engaging Josuke with her Stand, Daiya expresses arousal for him, which Josuke acknowledges to an extent while in a state of diminished responsibility. Upon her defeat, he extends his friendship in recognition of the personal virtues she expressed during their engagement, with Daiya pledging a degree of assistance in his inquiries. Daiya is constantly clinging to Josuke and he partially returns her affection, at the very least considering her a friend and watching out for her well-being.
- Joshu Higashikata: Emotionally immature and unstable, Joshu perceives the sight of the newly-conscious Josuke lying nude on the ground next to Yasuho as an insult, becoming enraged and attacking Josuke with lethal force before he is subdued. Joshu retains a powerful sense of insult at Josuke's interruption in his relationship with Yasuho and his family. Paired by Norisuke while travelling to school together, Josuke exerts an arms-length reception of Joshu, who persistently curses and discriminates against him.
- Jobin Higashikata: Although they seem to have a cordial relationship, Josuke and Jobin are technically enemies and recognize each others as threats. Josuke was first interested in Jobin because of his mysterious relationship with the Locacaca. He prepared to fight him, but settled for tricking him into revealing himself in several gambles about beetle fights. During these gamble, Josuke faked a more friendly and smug demeanor, ultimately leading Jobin to suspect foul play.
- Tsurugi Higashikata: Tsurugi initially tried to kill Josuke because Yotsuga promised him a cure for his rock disease if he helped him. Despite this, Josuke doesn't seem to wish harm on Tsurugi partially understanding Tsurugi's fear of his disease. He has manipulated information on Tsurugi's father Jobin out of Tsurugi by urgency and mentioning his father hiding secrets that could cure him. Josuke is willing to use Tsurugi but seems to still care for his safety as he was worried when he was attacked by Aisho Dainenjiyama and went to him to make sure he was ok, showing the two are at least on amiable terms.
- Hato Higashikata: The two initially do not have much interaction, especially since Josuke is mainly focused on finding more about his past. Despite this, the two seem to get along fine as she was worried when Josuke was trying to use a razor and told Joshu to teach him how to use it properly. When Damo is attacking the family, Hato initially can't believe it and when he attacks both her and Josuke, Josuke uses his bubbles to protect her, implying he cares for her as a friend. The two even worked well together fighting and defeating Damo.
Alliés
- Rai Mamezuku: An ally due to his connection with Norisuke along with being the plant appraiser that could tell where the branch of the Locacaca fruit tree is, he becomes Josuke's ally when enemies begin to try to capture him due to his abilities and seeks Josuke's protection. While the two are not on friendly terms, they get along well enough.
Affiliations passées
- Karera Sakunami: Josuke initially didn't recognize Karera at first, however she insisted that she knew him before. Karera refers to him by the mysterious name "Setchan" and leaves before Josuke can obtain more information on his identity. Obtaining her name using Soft & Wet, Josuke lies to her about Yasuho in a failed attempt to retrieve more information. After showing Josuke an old picture on her cellphone of her, Kira and a mysterious other boy she reveals that Josuke's identity is that of Josefumi Kujo - the other boy in the photo. Rebuked by her manners and her willingness to let go of her past, he comments that they will never get along.
- Josefumi Kujo: Perhaps the most mysterious link to Josuke's past; from Karera's account, Josuke was originally Josefumi and apparently knew Kira at some point before losing his memories. The trio seemed to be friends before Josefumi and Kira were fused together to create the current Protagonist. Josuke seems to take after Josefumi in appearance, intelligence, and stand abilities, along with a similar feeling of loneliness as Josuke wonders why no one came to visit him in the hospital and feels alone since he has no memories and doesn't know anyone while Josefumi always felt he was ignored and abandoned all his life. Josefumi is revealed to serve as his body.
- Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion): The other half of Josuke's identity. He and Yasuho went to his apartment to find clues on Josuke's identity but initially found nothing as Sasame confirmed he was not Kira. The two also found his body buried. Despite seeming to have hit a road bump, Kyo later confirms Josuke is a combination of Kira and another person (later revealed to be Josefumi). Josuke seems to get his trademark outfit and part of his stand abilities from Kira, along with possibly some of his personality traits such as his shrewd manipulative intelligent mind, his drive to succeed in his goals, and loyalty to friends and family. It is later revealed he serves as the mental inhabitant of Josuke.
- Kyo Nijimura: Initially he did not interact with her. However, when she learned he was trying to investigate Holy and her connection to Yoshikage Kira, Kyo intervened using her stand Born this Way and nearly killing him in the process. When he defeated her with help from Paisley Park, she confessed she was Kira's sister and was only working for the Higashikatas (whom she hated) to investigate what happened to her brother and reveals herself as an ally. She has him promise not to see Holy Joestar-Kira which he agrees to, upon seeing her break down and cry and not wanting to hurt her or Holy. While she does not assist him again, the two seem to be on better terms.
- Holy Joestar-Kira: When he discovered she was Kira's mother, he tried to investigate her but was stopped by Kyo who had him promise not to bother her. Despite this, upon hearing about her condition from Yasuho he felt partially sorry for her and realizes she did not come to pick up her son because of her dementia. He also learns of her connection to the Higashikatas, making him more suspicious of them. When he later visited her, Josuke soon found out that her condition worsened, as she ate some of her fingers before the hospital had to restrain her. Recognizing her as his mother, even after the fusion, he promises the hospital that the their fees will be paid to continue her treatment, indicating his acceptance of two different identities.
Ennemis
- Ojiro Sasame: Ojiro was struck with misfortune from both of Josuke's former identities, particularly with Kira who had supposedly convinced him to eat his own fingers while drunk. Ojiro would later attack Josuke, thinking he was Kira and would later be taken out.
- Yotsuyu Yagiyama: As a member of the Locacaca Organization, Yotsuyu was an enemy of Josuke's and both of his former identities. After a confrontation, Yotsuyu ended up being unintentionally killed by Josuke, due to his Rock Human biology.
- Tamaki Damo: Damo, was originally unaware of Josuke's identity and presumed him to be a freeloader at the Higashikata household. Upon discovering Josuke's past, Damo saw him as an enemy but also a miraculous new potential for the Locacaca. Josuke treated Damo as a dangerous enemy and made sure to kill him.
- Dolomite: Dolomite is an assassin hired Jobin to kill Josuke. Using his Stand powers, Dolomite infects several people, before possessing Josuke himself. Dolomite attempted to make Josuke drown himself before being stopped by Yasuho.

- “Left hand to right hand... you really should stop doing that. Your little brother kicked that ball to you and you caught it with your left hand, which is stuck inside it. If that ball contains poison gas, then I'll win. You should stop.”—Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 46: Love Love Deluxe, Part 4
- “My name... is 'Josuke Higashikata'... and my memories from when I was born... are long gone from this world... and they'll never come back... but even so... there's something I'm certain of. I am your son. No matter where I go, or what era I live in, that's something certain that I can believe in. ...Mom... Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora! I'll save you. I swear it.”—Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 92: The Wonder of You, Part 9
- “The man in the living room... do you mind if I kill him? I want you to give me your permission.”—Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 53: Vitamin C and Killer Queen, Part 4
- “My name is Josuke Higashikata. I still don't have any memories of my childhood or any memories as Yoshikage Kira. Nor... may I ever. But, I know something I have to do. What I need to do now actually supports the idea that my lost memories once existed! I know I can get a Locacaca for Holy, because I once had the power of that equivalent exchange phenomenon in my own hands! I need that and money!”—Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 58: Dawn of the Higashikata Family
- “I have a woman waiting for this Locacaca! I'm going to take back the past I lost! If Norisuke gets that Locacaca, it should open the righteous path that brings everyone happiness... and if we lose this Locacaca branch, all that will be left is despair! No matter what it takes, I cannot let the enemy get the Locacaca or let it burn!”—Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 74: Ozon Baby's Pressure, Part 2
- “Mr. Mamezuku, my name is Higashikata Josuke... that's the name I use. But... it's not really my name. It's just a temporary name Norisuke gave me. And... no matter whose memories you search... even if the police check everywhere in this whole world... there's no record of me... anywhere. I don't even know what I am, honestly. Half of my body [is Josefumi Kujo], yes. but no one is searching for me... not even my own mother. Even if I met her, I wouldn't know it. No matter where I go, my identity is nebulous. A nebulous existence that disappeared. I absolutely must get my hands on the new Locacaca. The other half of my body is Yoshikage Kira. For Kira's... for Holy's sake, I have to obtain that perfect equivalent exchange. That is the one and only proof of my existence.”—Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 90: The Wonder of You, Part 7
Trivia
- The Suke in his name may also be pronounced as Jo.
- When he is given the name "Josuke Higashikata", his name is written in a different kanji (定助 instead of 仗助) than that of the Part 4 protagonist's (of note is that this name is pronounced the same as Norisuke IV's birth name).
- The brand of his hat is "SBR" (a reference to the Steel Ball Run race).
- Josuke was originally going to have the Stand ability to attach screws to something, but Araki changed his mind and gave that to Joshu.[26]
- Foreign fans often refer to him as Jo2uke, Jo8uke, Josuk8, or Gappy (in reference to the distinct gap in his teeth) to avoid confusion with the other Josuke.
