Holy Kujo née Joestar (空条[ジョースター] ホリィ, Kūjō (Jōsutā) Horyi), is a minor character appearing in Stardust Crusaders.
Holy's sweet charm is known by all. She believes in her son deeply, proud of the compassion that he has despite his hard shell. As a woman who loves her family, she will deliberately lie about her illness so as to lessen their worry.
Holy is introduced as the loving mother of Jotaro Kujo. When he locks himself in jail, claiming to be possessed by an evil spirit, Holy calls her father, Joseph Joestar, to see him. Joseph tells Jotaro and Holy that DIO had acquired the body of Jonathan Joestar, and with it had somehow developed a Stand ability. Because of this, all of Jonathan's descendants had also developed a Stand, the "evil spirit" Jotaro mentioned. Holy eventually develops one too, but doesn't have the strength to support it and falls ill. Holy's ailing condition becomes the catalyst for Jotaro and company's quest to Egypt, as the defeat of DIO would stop Holy's stand of showing itself. At the end of the adventure she is back on her feet and once more the loving person she was.
Holy is the mother of Yoshikage Kira in the alternate universe, making Kira of the alternate universe a direct descendant of Johnny Joestar. Holy Joestar-Kira is revealed to have been an ophthalmologist who worked at the T.H. Medical University Hospital from 1998-2008 and is currently a guest professor at T.G. University.[1] As of 2011 in the alternate universe, she is shown to be a patient at a hospital.
While DIO was alive, she developed a Stand, but was incapable of using it both due to her gentle nature and not having the need to battle or fight. Her Stand gave her high-fever like symptoms while deteriorating her health. Her "ability" was the reason why her father Joseph and her son Jotaro went to kill DIO and cause the events of Stardust Crusaders to unfold.
Of note is that Holy was capable of perceiving Jotaro's stand, as she was able to see Star Platinum's arm take the policeman's gun and subsequently stop the bullet directed at Jotaro.
Holy appears as a character the player can talk with during the first scenario, at Jotaro's house. Besides that she appears only in cutscenes.
During the game, Holy appears only in cutscenes, similar to the manga, when she gets sick and at the end of the game.
