- Steel Ball Run Chapter 95: The World of Stars and Stripes - Outro
Rina Higashikata (東方 理那, Higashikata Rina) est un personnage secondaire de la série JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, apparaissant à la fin de Steel Ball Run et mentionnée dans JoJolion. Elle est la femme de Johnny Joestar et la fille de Norisuke Higashikata I.
Rina est une jeune femme de nationalité japonaise. Elle a le visage carré, et porte typiquement un yukata. Ses cheveux sont coiffés à la japonaise quand elle apparaît pour la première fois. Par la suite, elle porte une queue de cheval.
Rina is described as a loving and caring wife. She is also seen as faithful during her peculiar ailment as she trusted Johnny to save her. While she was cured by the corpse parts, she showed great concern for her son George II, as it is revealed that he contracted the disease as well.
Years later, after the events of Steel Ball Run and before the events of JoJolion, Rina comes down with an incurable illness causing her to lose her memories and eventually turning her skin stiff and folded like origami. Johnny decides it is best to bring her to Japan to spend the last few days of her life in her hometown of Morioh.
He eventually travels back to New York to re-obtain the Saint's Corpse as a way of curing his wife's illness. After she is cured, the disease passes to their son George II. Johnny finally uses Tusk to take it upon himself, sacrificing himself for the sake for his family.
Afterwards, she is charged with Johnny's murder, but is released due to lack of evidence.
