Josuke... J'ai l'impression que nous nous rencontrons pour la première fois depuis longtemps. Mais cela ne fait que 4 jours que je suis allé à la maison Higashikata. Mais ... je suis un peu ... vraiment excitée ...
Yasuho est une jeune femme curieuse à la personnalité plutôt douce qui habite à Morioh.
Yasuho semble avoir une certaine innocence, du moins au début de l'histoire. Lorsque Josuke lui demande poliment de regarder ailleurs pour qu'il puisse tabasser Ojiro pour l'interroger, elle s'exécute sans comprendre ce qui se passe.[2] Yasuho est aussi facilement plus perturbée et effrayée, sachant qu'elle est une personne ordinaire qui est entraînée dans des combats à mort. Yasuho est assez perspicace et a pu débuter la recherche de Josuke en enquêtant sur son chapeau, ce qui les menés à Yoshikage Kira.[3] Elle montre aussi un certain degré d'empathie et de compréhension, car elle a également pu discerner, après avoir découvert des photos de femmes ligotées chez Kira, que Josuke n'était pas le genre de personne à faire une telle chose. Elle a nommé Josuke d'après son chien car il lui ressemblait.
Yasuho a une relation tendue avec sa mère et surtout sa façon libertine de vivre, ce qui créé des tensions entres elles.[4]D'un autre côté, Yasuho idéalisait son père auparavant et après le divorce de ses parents, chérissait toujours les moments qu'elle partageait avec lui. Son attachement était tel qu'une illusion de son père voulant couper les liens avec elle lui lui avait brisé le cœur et l'avait poussé à essayer de se suicider.[5]
Malgré une rencontre insolite, Yasuho développe très vite des sentiments pour Josuke, se rendant rapidement compte qu'elle est excitée de le rencontrer, au point qu'elle pleure des larmes de joie lorsqu'elle le revoit enfin.[6] Il est quasiment certain qu'elle soit simplement amoureuse de lui, et que ce sentiment est réciproque au vue de l'attachement de Josuke pour elle. Il est possible que Yasuho ait encore quelques sentiment pour son ancien petit copain Tooru, avec qui elle a partagé des expériences intimes.
De plus, Yasuho semble avoir une sorte d'amitié avec le jeune Tsurugi Higashikata. Bien que Tsurugi l'ai kidnappée pour le compte de Yotsuyu Yagiyama, Tsurugi est assez attaché à Yasuho. Elle et Tsurugi ont d'ailleurs travaillé ensemble pour enquêter sur le Locacaca et ont combattu ensemble l'homme-rocher Aisho Dainenjiyama.[7]
Au fil de l'histoire, Yasuho s'endurcit et devient plus confiante et déterminée à aider Josuke et combattre les hommes-rocher. Cette maturité s'est fait en parallèle à sa maîtrise croissante de son Paisley Park. Par exemple, Yasuho est intervenue pour sauver Josuke et a menacé d'ensevelir Dolomite sous la boue s'il ne lui obéissait pas. Si au début de l'histoire, Yasuho aidait Josuke sans vraiment savoir pourquoi, elle a su développer sa propre motivation, déclarant qu'en sauvant Josuke au début de l'histoire, elle s'est sauvée elle-même.
Yasuho possède Paisley Park, un Stand à longue portée qui est spécialisé dans la recherche d'information pour assister les alliés de Yasuho de manière autonome. Paisley Park peut manipuler tout appareil électronique et faciliter les enquêtes de Yasuho.
Sur une note humoristique, Yasuho est capable de se lécher le coude. Bien que celà ne serve pas à grand chose dans le cadre de ses aventures, elle est plutôt fière de pouvoir faire ça.[1]
History
Background
Yasuho est née Morioh en 1992 environs. Elle a passée sa vie dans cette ville et on sait qu'elle fût l'amie d'enfance de Joshu Higashikata pendant un temps. Durant cette période, elle avait aussi un chien nommé Josuke. Ses parents ont divorcé alors qu'elle avait l'âge de 10 ans et elle passait ses semaines chez sa mère et voyait son père les week-end.
Alors qu'elle est au collège, Yasuho achète une pince à cheveux qu'elle trouve très jolie à un vendeur de rue, et pense le mettre le weekend. Cependant, sa semaine se passe très mal alors qu'elle a oublié d'acheter un cadeau d'anniversaire pour une camarade de classe nommée Miko, et toute la classe l'insulte et l'ostracise.
En fait, la pince à cheveux que Yasuho a acheté s'avère être un Insecte-rocher déguisé. Durant la semaine, il pique Yasuho sans qu'elle s'en rende compte pour qu'elle produise une quantité ahurissante de pellicules qu'elle essaie de traiter. Le jour où elle doit aller voir son père, Yasuho ne retrouve plus sa pince et se met en colère contre sa mère, qu'elle accuse d'avoir caché la pince pour qu'elle ne puisse pas montrer ladite pince à cheveux. L'insecte-rocher lui fait perdre la conscience.
Lorsqu'elle se réveille, Yasuho voit son père. A son insu, l'insecte a en fait créé une coquille ressemblante à son père à partir des pellicules. Pour tourmenter Yasuho, l'insecte fait dire au "père" qu'il est tombé amoureux d'une autre femme et qu'il veut quitter Yasuho pour de bon pour se consacrer à sa nouvelle vie. Le coeur brisé, Yasuho essaie de se suicider en se coupant les poignets dans sa baignoire mais heureusement sa mère la trouve.
Yasuho est soignée à l'hôpital, où elle rencontre Holy Joestar-Kira et Yoshikage Kira. Yoshikage lui tend les pièces de sa pince à cheveux, s'excusant pour avoir marché dessus par accident. En fait, Yoshikage avait délibérément tué l'insecte-rocher.[5] Yasuho garde les pièces de l'insecte dans son tiroir.
Au lycée, Yasuho rencontre et devient la petite amie de Tooru. On sait aussi qu'elle a embrassé Joshu une fois.[8]
Yasuho devient élève à l'école des sciences humaines et sociales de Morioh.[9]
Yasuho apparait pour la première fois alors qu'elle se cache près des Murs qui voient car elle veut éviter Joshu Higashikata, un ami d'enfance qui est devenu trop collant à son goût. Soudainement, elle voit quelqu'un à moitié enterré près d'une source d'eau qui demande de l'aide. Yasuho hésite et appelle une ambulance alors qu'elle lui demande qui il est, ce à quoi l'homme réalise qu'il ne connait pas son nom. L'homme coule soudainement dans l'eau, ce qui pousse Yasuho à lui prendre la main et à le tirer hors de l'eau. Elle voit alors que l'homme est nu et qu'il a deux paires de testicules. Joshu survient et croit que l'homme est en train de séduire Yasuho. Jaloux, il essaie de le frapper à la tête avec une pierre mais l'homme parvient à battre Joshu avec l'aide d'un pouvoir mystérieux. L'ambulance emmène tout les deux à l'hôpital.
Yasuho est la première personne que Josuke rencontre
Peu après, Yasuho se rend à l'hôpital pour visiter Joshu et l'homme, leur donnant des Dango en cadeau. Alors qu'elle parle seule avec l'homme, elle est amusée par son innocence et touchée par le fait qu'il a perdu sa mémoire et veut retrouver son identité. En examinant son chapeau de marin, Yasuho tient une première piste car ce chapeau vient d'une boutique de chapeaux locale : la boutique "SBR". L'homme insister pour y aller et le duo sort donc de l'hôpital en évitant une policière grâce au pouvoir mystérieux de l'homme. Dans la boutique, Yasuho demande le nom de l'acheteur et ce dernier leur pointe vers un certain "Yoshikage Kira" avec son adresse. Yasuho pense que le nom ne lui va pas du tout et blague en disant qu'il ressemblerait à un "Josuke", car il lui rappelle le chien qu'il avait durant son enfance.
Yasuho et "Kira" vont donc à l'adresse indiquée et entrent dans l'appartement grâce à une clé que le propriétaire avait caché de façon naïve au dessus de la porte. A l'intérieur, une tenue de marin va parfaitement à "Kira", et ils entendent du bruit venant de l'appartement au dessus. Dans la salle de bain, le duo trouve une femme dans la baignoire. Un peu gênée, Yasuho lui demande si elle ne serait pas la petite amie de l'homme mais cette dernière lui demande de l'aide. Yasuho trouve alors un album photo pleines de photographies sordides de la femme ligotée, ainsi que d'un homme qui ressemble bien à "Kira". Dégoûtée et en colère, Yasuho sort de l'appartement en disant à "Kira" de partir de Morioh et de ne jamais revenir.
Dans la rue, Yasuho rencontre deux camarades de classe et refuse poliment leur offre d'aller à un café ensemble. Elle pleure, se sentant dégoûtée et trahie. Cependant, elle reprend son calme et réalise que la personnalité de l'homme et les photos de l'album sont inconsistants et décide de revenir dans l'appartement. Elle revient alors et se trouvé mêlée au combat entre "Kira" et l'homme dans l'appartement au-dessus. Le bras de "Kira" est sous le contrôle de l'ennemi et il est forcée de la blesser en lançant une scie sur sa main, mais heureusement, il est capable de voler la friction de l'étage au dessus avec les bulles de son Stand, Soft & Wet. L'ennemi est forcé de glisser vers le balcon et est capturé par le protagoniste. L'homme vaincu, un surfeur sadique nommé Ojiro Sasame, confirme que le protagoniste ressemble mais qu'il n'est pas Yoshikage Kira et dévoile une photo du véritable Kira, tenant la pose près de la source où Yasuho a trouvé le protagoniste. Ils reviennent donc à la source et découvrent le corps de Yoshikage Kira, qui n'a pas de testicules bizarrement.
Sans autres piste que le corps de Kira, l'enquête est au point mort. Le protagoniste, nommé pour l'instant "Josuke", est adopté par la famille Higashikata pour le moment. Le patriarche, Norisuke Higashikata IV, les emmène chez lui pour introduire Josuke à sa famille adoptive. Après une rencontre mouvementée, Yasuho est éconduite brusquement hors de la propriété de la famille par la bonne, qui lui dit de ne pas revenir et "tenter" Joshu sous peine d'avoir de gros problème. Ceci inquiète un peu Yasuho.
Yasuho retourne chez elle et voit sa mère soûle, et avec un suçon sur la poitrine. Elle pleure de honte, dénonçant le train de vie de sa mère.
Yasuho ouvre alors une lettre d'une agence d'identification ADN qu'elle a contacté pour contacter les ADN de Kira et Josuke, et voit avec surprise que Josuke et Kira partagent 95.8% de leurs génome. Soudainement, Yasuho reçoit un appel, mais le numéro est inconnu et la personne raccroche avant qu'elle puisse répondre. C'était en fait Josuke qui essayait d'appeler à l'aide alors que la cadette, Daiya Higashikata, était en train de voler la mémoire de Josuke. Yasuho revient vers la propriété de la famille Higashikata et croise Josuke et Daiya vers la porte. Cependant, le Stand de Daiya, California King Bed, a déjà volé les souvenirs de Josuke concernant Yasuho et il ne la reconnaît pas. Yasuho se cache instinctivement, confuse. Cependant, Josuke résout vite son différend avec Daiya et ils deviennent des alliés en quelque sorte. Josuke découvre un lien de parenté entre les Higashikata et les Kira et voit que Yoshikage Kira a une mère, Holy Kira, apparemment une ophtalmologiste célèbre qui est actuellement traitée dans un hôpital de Morioh.
Yasuho éveille Paisley Park pour la première fois
Yasuho et Josuke s'appellent et se donnent rendez-vous à l'hôpital. Yasuho y va d'ailleurs pour faire traiter une morsure bizarre qu'elle a à la cheville, ne sachant pas que cette morsure lui a permit d'obtenir un Stand. Le Stand de Yasuho, Paisley Park, va alors essayer d'assister Josuke alors qu'un autre Stand ennemi attaque ce dernier. Yasuho entre dans l'hôpital et parvient à lui parvient brièvement mais constate qu'elle a perdu la raison. Une infirmière la surprend et la force à sortir de l'hôpital. En attendant Josuke, Yasuho ressent une douleur à sa cheville et une autre infirmière la met sur un brancard pour l'amener à l'intérieur. Avec un peu d'astuce et l'aide de son Stand, Yasuho revient près de la chambre d'Holy et entend des médecins parler de sa mystérieuse maladie, notamment le fait que des parties de son cerveau ont tout simplement disparus alors qu'il n'y a aucune trace de chirurgie.
The next day, Josuke calls Yasuho at school, but she doesn't answer as he was using Joshu's cell phone. She does, however, notice that he was, at the time, located on Shakedown Road and near a landmark statue called the Joestar Jizō. She discovers, with Paisley Park's help, that the jizō was built as a memorial to Johnny Joestar, who died in Morioh from what was ultimately determined to be a freak accident in 1901.
Later that day, Yasuho travels to the Meditation Pine Tree near the Wall Eyes and realizes she can see both the Higashikata mansion and the spring where she previously found Josuke. She finds another article in the newspaper of a small infant that was discovered beneath the pine tree around the same time as Johnny's death. Upon further inspection, Yasuho spots a hole at the base of the pine tree and goes in for a closer look, but is suddenly grabbed by a hand reaching out of it causing her to lose her shoe. She is pulled under where an obscure figure gropes her. A moment later, Yasuho finds herself in the Higashikata Family's cellar directly below the Meditation Pine. The room is filled with several memorabilia dating to the Showa Era (~1937) and there she encounters Tsurugi Higashikata, the grandson of Norisuke. Tsurugi attempts to play a game with her using a mildly profane Paper fortune teller. Yasuho eventually realizes her phone is missing and grabs Tsurugi demanding to know where it is when she discovers that Tsurugi is actually male. He explains that the eldest son of each generation in the Higashikata family is raised as a girl until his 12th birthday to ward off "a curse". To aid Yasuho, Paisley Park summons itself and travels to Josuke's location, where it inspires Josuke to send her a text message. Yasuho's phone goes off and she traces the source of the noise from underneath the carpet. Tsurugi tries to stop her by grabbing her hand, but after breaking free, Yasuho finds the phone folded like an origami frog and it attacks her.[10]
Leaving the room, phone in hand, she spots another room. Looking in the window, it is small and austere, containing a set of clothes similar to that worn by Kira, and a collection of objects including an Enter the Dragon poster and Ultraman figurine, among others. Yasuho heads back into town, trailed by Tsurugi. She speaks with a woman with a particular, angular face, who asks for directions. Another woman passes with the same face, as well as a window cleaner, the mannequins in the window, and everyone around her, except for Tsurugi. Before she can consider this, she rubs her eyes, accidentally removing her contact lenses. Heading home and replacing them, she finds that even her mother has this same face, and finally her own reflection. She is taunted by the woman who she assumed was her mother. Upset, she rushes out of her home to the street, crying.
Yasuho cannot distinguish faces or writings because of Tsurugi's Paper Moon King
Yasuho looks up and sees Tsurugi, unchanged. She successfully calls Josuke, who agrees to meet within 10 minutes at Gomamitsu café, in reference to his message. Yasuho confronts Tsurugi once more, but he repeats that he will always be available to help her in that room in the basement. Mistaking a shop for Gomamitsu Cafe, Yasuho realizes that she has begun to interpret all words as parts of this phrase. Joshu finds Josuke, taking his phone back, angered that he had called Yasuho. Yasuho mistakes Joshu for Josuke, narrowly passing him by. Thrilled by Yasuho's trust, and misunderstanding her words, Joshu leads Yasuho to a public bathroom, where he reveals his genitals, and begins rapidly undressing her with his Stand. Pausing when Yasuho calls Josuke's name, she strikes his head with a cistern lid and escapes. She approaches a car, mistaking its passengers' clothes for police uniforms, before she is kidnapped and nearly force-fed a pill. When Yasuho shouts to stop the car, her Stand disrupts the ankle of the driver, crashing the car into a post. Stumbling away, Yasuho's mother approaches and calls to her, whom Yasuho again fails to recognize. When Tsurugi reveals himself again, Yasuho yields and follows him back to his underground playroom.
Yasuho goes to Tsurugi's playroom. He apologizes, admitting that he targeted her with his Stand, Paper Moon King. Yasuho asks Tsurugi what is the purpose of the underground complex and Tsurugi explains that it is a space dedicated to treating a mysterious illness that turns the skin hard like stone befalling all Higashikata firstborns. Yasuho is reminded of Holy's condition, whose brain is becoming hard and smooth, memories fragmenting, and that Kira tried to save her.
Unconscious during the fight, Yasuho awakes with a mysterious fruit in her hand
Falling asleep, a figure emerges from behind a jacket hanging on the wall. Uttering obscurities, mentioning Soft & Wet and an opinion that Josuke need not exist, the man pulls a sheet of clear material from his eyes, pinning it around Yasuho's wrists and face. Taking a pitcher of water, he begins to waterboard Yasuho, waking her to a gasping panic. Yasuho subconsciously sends her Stand before the man pins its leg with his foot, catching its head as it rises from the ground. The man is able to accurately deduce aspects of the Stand's limitation before it escapes his grasp through the hatch in the ceiling. Telling Yasuho that he has been watching "all of them" up to now, the man introduces himself as Yotsuyu Yagiyama, an architect who most of all desires social status, for which purpose he intends to ensure that Josuke's memories do not return when Josuke "dies again". However, Yotsuyu slips on a banana origami and disappears.
Yasuho falls asleep later and is kidnapped by Yotsuyu during Josuke's battle against the architect. Josuke does manage to save her and defeat Yotsuyu. Somehow, Yasuho discovers a piece of fruit near her. She leaves the fruit and is later told to go away by Norisuke.
Yasuho & Tsurugi investigate the event recorder and find Jobin's link to the fruit
Yasuho begins to master her Stand Paisley Park when Tsurugi knocks at her door and asks her to help. After Josuke gives them the key of Jobin Higashikata's Lamborghini, Yasuho investigates the GPS of the car. Thanks to Paisley Park, Yasuho sees anoter set of car keys and effortlessly hacks into the car. Thus, she manages to discover that Jobin exchanged the fruit Tsurugi is after with another man: Aisho Dainenjiyama. When Jobin and Joshu barge in garage where the Lamborghini is, Yasuho manages to hide herself and Tsurugi from them using Paisley Park's ability to foresee obstacles.
Yasuho proceeds to investigate Aisho. Observing the place where Jobin met the man from a rooftop, Yasuho and Tsurugi uncover a link between Aisho, who is a security guard at the stadium, and Yotsuyu, who oversaw the renovation of the stadium. They see Aisho at the same place heading to a nearby park and decide to tail him with Yasuho's phone folded into a frog. They witness a man who, after eating the fruit, regrows his missing legs while his eyes shatter into stone. As the phone is sent investigating the remains of the fruit, it is spotted by Aisho who crushes it under his feet. Affected by the damage, Yasuho and Tsurugi are nearly killed, but Aisho stops his attack when he kicks the phone away and attempts to phone Yotsuyu. Startled by the lack of answer, Aisho attempts to crush the phone again, but is distracted by a banana peel Paisley Park placed under his feet, allowing Tsurugi to use his Paper Moon King. Aisho is unable to recognize the phone and it subsequently escapes.
Yasuho & Tsurugi chased by Doobie Wah!
Having checked Aisho's access card, Yasuho determines that the fruit comes from inside the stadium. As they both go down the stairs, they are assailed by Aisho's StandDoobie Wah! hiding in a deadly wind vortex. Escaping the building by a window, they realize that Doobie Wah! is materializing via their breath, forcing them not to breathe as they try to flee. The two try to take a bus away from the enemy Stand but it still materialized out of their breath and attacks them. Yasuho and Tsurugi leave the bus near the Motoyagura train station, and Tsurugi releases a car origami. Soon after both meet a cornered Yasuho and Tsurugi. Recognizing Jobin's son, Aisho demands that Jobin allows him to kill him, but Jobin remains silent. The car origami Tsurugi released comes back to his hand, and Tsurugi explains that he made Aisho confuse any bus with his father. When the bus starts up, it runs over the confused Aisho who is killed and breaks down into dust.
Josuke & Yasuho properly meet again
The next day, Yasuho and Tsurugi analyze the video feed of Aisho's death, realizing the strange nature of the people they are going after and determined to investigate the stadium. They meet Josuke and since Yasuho and Josuke are too happy to see each other to continue the investigation, it is paused for the time being. Josuke and Yasuho stroll on the beach, sharing a tender moment, however Josuke is signaled by another girl, calling for a meeting later. Josuke thus leaves Yasuho.
Later, Yasuho and Tsurugi have a telephonic conversation with Josuke. Yasuho has done some research about Josefumi Kujo and asks why Josuke is interested in him, to which Josuke answers that Josefumi might be his original identity. He then plans to go at Josefumi's house for further investigations and asks Yasuho if he can find a picture of him. However, Josuke's conversation is interrupted when he sees Hato coming back. Yasuho eventually finds a picture and faxes it to Josuke, although the man doesn't even remotely resemble Josuke.
Josuke calls Yasuho for help with tracking down the user of Blue Hawaii. He had left a soap bubble with Dolomite's tooth in it, so Yasuho could use Paisley Park to search medical records and find out whose tooth it is. After finding the tooth, Paisley Park finds a classified document recording an incident where Dorokoma Masaji had eaten 15 of a school's rabbits and another where he had eaten 25 chickens on a farm. She notices some dirt on the tooth, and prepares to use Paisley Park to track down the source of the dirt, but is ambushed by Jobin Higashikata who causes her to pass out from heatstroke using his stand. Jobin then stomps on her phone, breaking it, and tosses the tooth down a grate.
Yasuho finds and corners Dolomite
Yasuho later wakes up but has no way of finding the enemy alone. Josuke, who has been beaten and controlled by Blue Hawaii, now mindlessly walks up to Mutsukabe Shrine. Yasuho spots him and trails Josuke up to Dolomite, whom she attacks with a metal bar and defeats easily since the Rock Human has no limbs. Yasuho goes as far as threatening to push Dolomite into a mud pit, forcing the Rock Human to surrender. Dolomite reveals to Yasuho and Josuke that Jobin was the one who asked him to attack Josuke, also stating that the two have gotten involved in something incredibly dangerous.
Yasuho then takes the bus alongside Josuke to meet the plant appraiser, whom she meets earlier than thought when the plant appraiser hijacks the bus they are in, claiming they are under attack and that his safety is the priority. The plant appraiser, named Rai Mamezuku, is suspicious of Yasuho, but she pays him no mind, using Paisley Park to hack the passengers' smartphones and prevent them from informing anyone of what is happening to the bus.
They arrive at a parking lot, and Yasuho is then invited alongside Josuke to Mamezuku's home. The latter cooks a creme Romanoff for Yasuho, and she is pleasantly surprised at the snack. However, her meal is interrupted when a tree sneaks on her, and Josuke has to save her from falling. Nonetheless, Mamezuku tosses her to the ground, exposing her to the enemy's power.
Yasuho facing Urban Guerrilla & Doremifasolati Do
Trying to run to safety, Yasuho is the first to see the face of the enemy. A Rock Human named Urban Guerrilla, encased in his pet Doremifasolati Do, attacks Yasuho again, but Mamezuku stabs Urban and she manages to wash away the swarm of enemy Stand threatening to bore holes into her faces. When the enemy team plunges underground, Josuke jumps down to assist her. Using Paisley Park, Yasuho detects a bedrock area which can serve as a shelter. However, when Doremifasolati Do resurfaces, Josuke learns that his attacks are ineffective and thus Yasuho must flee to the bedrock area with him and is stuck at the top of a boulder.
As her powers aren't useful in direct combat, Yasuho is forced to watch Josuke and Mamezuku battle the enemy and eventually defeat them. After the battle, Mamezuku isolates Yasuho and tells her to go home to safety. However, she begins to narrate her own backstory and reaffirms her will to help Josuke. Only interested in the strange hair clip which tormented her, Mamezuku sends her home to analyze the clip.
Yasuho watches news footage of the fire at the Higashikata household as she sits in the waiting room of the hospital for menstrual pain and depression. Although she has been reassured by Mamezuku and Josuke, she is nonetheless worried about the stolen Locacaca branch. She then catches a glimpse of Mitsuba Higashikata and her doctor notices that Mitsuba's legs have been turned to stone by the Locacaca. Investigating further, she finds herself under attack by said doctor, Dr. Wu Tomoki, who controls Mitsuba's body. Wu tries to transfer himself from Mitsuba but Yasuho, but in the time it takes him to completely invade her, Yasuho manages to extract the few fragments inside of her acting as a beacon for others and takes the released Mitsuba with her. After Yasuho explains what she knows about the Locacaca and the hospital, Mitsuba reveals that she's just learned that she's pregnant and that she's worried for the child. Thus the two then try to reach the examination room where Mitsuba last recalls her examination. Pursued by Wu Tomoki, Yasuho and Mitsuba manage to get rid of him several times thanks to Awaking III Leaves, Mitsuba's Stand. On their way, Yasuho also meets with her ex-boyfriend Tooru and tells him to tell Josuke where she is headed.
In the examination room, Yasuho discovers a secret tape of Wu Tomoki explaining to the audience the mechanisms of the Locacaca and opens the door to a secret laboratory containing a garden of Locacaca. However, Yasuho notices that the stolen Locacaca branch from the Higashikata garden isn't there. Wu Tomoki suddenly reappears, having taken control once again of Mitsuba by hiding in the Locacaca she eats to save her child. Yasuho must fight Wu Tomoki again, and then during the fight, vials containing deadly diseases are broken. Yasuho returns some of Mitsuba's arrows against Wu Tomoki and purges him out of Mitsuba again. When the doctor tries to scatter the Locacaca fruit and threatens to force-feed them the fruits, Josuke finally comes in and saves Yasuho. Yasuho then explains to the group her findings and she deduces that since Mitsuba was targeted by Wu Tomoki, the branch must have been taken by a third group, Jobin Higashikata being a prime suspect.
Somehow, Yasuho is unable to get a picture of the head doctor
To her frustration, Josuke and Mamezuku nonetheless decide to chase after the last member of the Locacaca Organization: Satoru Akefu, the head doctor of TG University Hospital, who mysteriously has no available picture of himself anywhere. Although Yasuho tries to hack the cameras through Paisley Park, she cannot snap a picture of the head doctor. Even more strangely, unnoticed obstacles keep preventing the group from catching up to the old man. During the chase, Yasuho meets with Tooru again and he flirts with her, causing a mix of suspicion and jealousy from Josuke's part. As Dr. Akefu keeps evading them and leaves the hospital, Yasuho receives a message from Tooru asking her to be with him again. The chase culminates in a car almost crashing into her, although she is saved by Soft & Wet. However, the doctor has boarded a bus and the trio must stop their chase for the time being. When Josuke gets into a fight with a patient whose broken neck snaps in front of him, Yasuho finds herself alone again as Josuke must deal with the authorities with Rai. This allows Tooru to come back and get closer to her as he reassures he will testify for Josuke.
Tooru tries to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho
Yasuho is next shown sitting on her porch with Tooru as she waits for Paisley Park to find Mamezuku and the face of the head doctor. After listening to Tooru's proposal, she is distracted when Paisley Park finds a record of Mamezuku purchasing some goods but loses his trace again. Remembering that she was pursuing Satoru Akefu, Tooru shows her a photo of Akefu's face. However, Yasuho is more shocked to discover that Mitsuba and Akefu are acquainted as she is in the photo too. At the same time, the rain has reached Yasuho's location. Focused on Mitsuba, Yasuho has yet to be affected by the rain. Piecing together the information at her disposal, Yasuho is convinced that Akefu is still looking for the new Locacaca and is targeting Mitsuba. Yasuho thus rushes to the Higashikata House with Tooru as her driver.
She eventually arrives at the Higashikata House and has Paisley Park infiltrate the house in order to find Mitsuba. However, she finds a very ill Tsurugi instead and tries to ask him where the new Locacaca branch is. Before Tsurugi can answer, Jobin grabs the phone Paisley Park has hidden in and throws it in the toilet. Yasuho finds herself in deep trouble as she begins to drown and her signal to Paisley Park is cut off. Isolated from any electronic device to escape in, Paisley Park is unable to do anything. Yasuho gets desperate and tries to get attention by filming herself with one of the cameras watching the estate. Mitsuba sees Yasuho and almost saves her, but Jobin's coercion and the appearance of Satoru Akefu before her changes her mind. Determined to protect her son at all costs, Mitsuba decides to let Yasuho die. Yasuho also sees the head doctor but falls down a slope and loses her right arm. Mitsuba decides to flush the phone further down the toilet but she is interrupted. Nevertheless, Yasuho is in a desperate situation.
When the Higashikata Family catches Jobin and Mitsuba trying to drown Paisley Park, Norisuke immediately goes to pick up the phone from the toilet, saving Yasuho. Yasuho begs Norisuke to let Paisley Park escape by letting the phone near any power outlet, but Jobin tries to sway Norisuke to his side, invoking that he is on the right path at the moment to save Tsurugi. Norisuke ultimately refuses to put the phone back and exposes Jobin's crime of murdering Ojiro Sasame, forcing the son to take out his father. In the confusion, Joshu has the presence of mind to kick the phone that Norisuke drops near an electrical outlet, allowing Paisley Park to escape. Yasuho is still heavily wounded and must call for help. Unable to contact either Josuke or Mamezuku despite Paisley Park's assistance, Yasuho must call Tooru and tell him to come. Tooru wants to call an ambulance, but Yasuho refuses and instead asks him to assist with healing herself. Tooru tells her that he's on his way. However, when Tooru arrives at the estate, he ignores Yasuho and awaits for events to unfold instead. Yasuho senses a presence but cannot see Tooru for unknown reasons.
Suddenly, Joshu comes out of the house with the New Locacaca pot in his hands, and declares that he'll save Yasuho.
Relationships
Family
Suzuyo Hirose: She is Yasuho's mother. After she and her husband divorce, Yasuho since then lives with her mother in an apartment. Despite Suzuyo being her mother, Yasuho dislikes and is sensitive about her mother's way of living.
Father: Suzuyo's ex-husband. Yasuho loved him more than her mother. One day, he appears as a vision to Yasuho, in her youth. Yasuho is at first happy to see him, but then he tells her that he is having an affair with another woman and is more happy with her than with Yasuho. Heartbroken, Yasuho attempts suicide, but is treated in a hospital.
Ex-Boyfriend
Tooru: She and Tooru dated at some point around high school, but broke up with him for unknown reasons. It is hinted that Yasuho still has feelings for Tooru. It is unknown if Yasuho ever found out that Tooru was, in fact, a Rock Human.
Friends and Allies
Josuke Higashikata: Moved by Josuke's innocence, she eagerly helps Josuke solve his identity crisis. Her involvement in finding out Josuke's mystery often leads her into trouble, such as having been dragged into Josuke's situation with Ojiro Sasame, but that does not stop her from helping Josuke out. There was one time when she saw a photo album of a woman having erotic bondage with what appeared to be Josuke in "Josuke's" apartment, and she bailed out thinking that Josuke was a sadist. However, after thinking more into Josuke's personality, she returned to him and continued helping his search. She is hinted to have also developed feelings for Josuke,[1] as shown when she is tearful when she meets up with Josuke again and the two can be seen holding hands together; she also mentions that she "has someone [she] like[s]".[11]
Rai Mamezuku: Despite Yasuho helping Mamezuku investigating Morioh's mysteries such as the Locacaca, Mamezuku cares little to nothing about her. In fact, during the conflict with Urban Guerilla and Doremifasolati Do, Mamezuku pushed her off as a disposable. Later when she told Mamezuku about her past with a hair clip and her ambitions on obtaining the Locacaca, Mamezuku just ignored her story and only showed interest in the hair clip Rock Animal.
Tsurugi Higashikata: Although Tsurugi would lecherously lick her from time to time - he's even groped her when they first met - both of them still got along. Their friendship expands when they face off against Aisho Dainenjiyama and Doobie Wah!. Tsurugi often makes implications of him having developed a crush on Yasuho.
Enemies
Joshu Higashikata: Although the two were friends at some point, Yasuho would try to hide herself from Joshu. Despite her disliking him, Joshu would continuously chase after Yasuho, and once nearly had intercourse with her in a bathroom when she was tricked by Paper Moon King; he ended up getting knocked out by her. Later, devastated by his family's tragedy, Joshu tries to protect an injured Yasuho during the calamity cast by Satoru Akefu and his Wonder of U.
Should I hide? Or shouldn't I? I'm not sure. No holding out here, hidden, is definitely the right thing to do. But this is so awkward. Even though we only kissed once... Won't you hurry up and go somewhere else... Oh man. Squatting like this is making me dizzy.
The location here is important. They're coordinates that indicate only one thing in this world. The great class-A river's name is Ichio River. And spanning across it is Hagi Bridge. If you cross that bridge from the South to the North Side, you'll arrive in S-City, Momiji ward, Morioh.
This is a story about breaking a curse... The beginning of it... A curse, as explained by one person, is an impurity that has been handed down because of a sin committed by a distant ancestor you know nothing about. Some describe it using the example of hatred that continued to exist after Sakanoue no Tamuramaro subjugated the Emishi. And by yet another interpretation, when mankind first came into existence and things were firmly classified as black or white, the friction that grew between them is what a curse is. But whichever it may be, a curse is something that must be broken. Or else, you'll be defeated by it... This mysterious boy who was buried in the ground... who in the world is he? Where did he come from?
Excuse me agai~~~~n. Let me just say a couple things first. I'm Yasuho Hirose. And I'm totally not this guy's friend or anything. I just kinda got reeled into this and I ended up coming to this condo. And I was just thinking I really gotta get heading home... So, uh, what I wanna ask is pretty simple! Are you this guy's girlfriend?
Don't touch meeeeeee! I wish I didn't come here... What am I... doing... in a place like this...? It's dirty... And I thought you were a good person... Get out of my hometown. I don't want people like you living in Morioh... I don't want to see you ever again... Not at the train station, not at the cafe, not on the street, nowhere. Stop fucking around!

—Yasuho Hirose tearfully shouting at Josuke, thinking he's a sadist, JoJolion Chapter 3: Soft & Wet, Part 2

I'm not sure how to describe it... His character was different... These photos... Having a character that would... collect and enjoy that kind of cruelty... Somehow... he seemed different from that... Regardless of whether he lost his memories or not... But I don't know how to figure out what someone's true nature is... Not even my own parents... How do you discern something like that...? The condo's... 2nd floor... Yoshikage Kira... ...Well... I... figured that much was right, but... what if he wasn't Yoshikage Kira... then what...? If he wasn't the person living in room 204 in the first place... if there's a different Yoshikage Kira... then what will happen to him now?
Well, I decided to come back. After thinking a lot about it... there's an inconsistency somewhere... Hey? Are you here? I'm sure you're... not Yoshikage Kira...
Josuke... It feels like we're meeting for the first time in a while. But it's only been 4 days since I went to the Higashikata House. But... I'm kind of... really excited...
There are lots of doors. They're the same shape, the same size, the same color and the same texture. There is no way to differentiate them at all. And there is an infinite number of said doors. But one of the doors definitely has some vestige of being open. When you open and close it many times, those traces become more apparent. Finding those traces and going! Progressing beyong! That is my Stand...Paisley Park.
Hey, Josuke. Sing something. We can do this while we're walking. Sing something... Like something nostalgic... Well, if you know any songs anyhow... Remember any?
Maybe you should be less worried about who I am and more worried about what's gonna happen to you! I found you, User!... Now cancel your attack on Josuke right now!
When Josuke crawled out from the ground by the spring near the Wall Eyes. Back then... I had no idea what was going on, anyway. He was a stranger I was meeting for the first time. The fact that he was a naked and unconscious man didn't help. Normally, I wouldn't have done anything like reach out to grab his wrists and pull him up... But for some reason... I grabbed onto Josuke's wrists straightaway. I felt like it would be okay to grab on, and I frantically pulled Josuke out from the spring water. Even I don't know why I acted the way I did back then. But, I remembered something very important and self-evident... that there isn't a single thing that should be overlooked.[...] Back then, I grabbed onto his wrists... but... the one who was pulled up was me. It's self-evident that there's not a single thing that should be overlooked and I saw that I have the same motive as Josuke does. I want to get my hands on the Locacaca too!
Yasuho appears as part of the stage hazard and Situation Finish in the Wall Eyes stage.
If one of the fighters is knocked down on the "hazard" indication area, Yasuho backs away in fright, causing Joshu to appear and run through the stage, hitting anyone who gets in his way with a rock until he reaches her. Before Joshu starts his action, her Stand Paisley Park will appear and track Joshu's way.
As a Situation Finish, the losing side is knocked out near Yasuho, causing Joshu to become angry and finish the character off with a large stone (referencing the way he attacks Josuke in their first encounter) as Yasuho appears surprised.
Campaign Mode
Yasuho also appears as one of the characters who can be used on Campaign Mode's profile.
Yasuho mentionne qu'elle avait un chien nommé Josuke. En blaguant sur la ressemblance entre le chien et le protagoniste, Yasuho nomme actuellement son nom à Josuke.
Yasuho a le même nom de famille que Koichi Hirose et les deux partagent quelques similarités. Yasuho et Koichi sont les premier personnages qu'ont voit dans leurs parties respectives, sont des compagnons proches du JoJo de la partie, et leur noms commencent par le kanji, 康, qui veut dire "paisible" ou "calme".
Alors que Koichi et Josuke Higashikata de la partie 4 ont tous les deux des Stands nommés d'après des chansons de Pink Floyd, Yasuho et Josuke Higashikata de la partie 8 ont des Stands nommés d'après des chansons de Prince.
