Tomoko Higashikata
Tomoko Higashikata (東方 朋子, Higashikata Tomoko) est un personnage secondaire de la quatrième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable.
Elle est la mère de Josuke Higashikata, son enfant qu'elle a eu avec Joseph Joestar. Elle est une citoyenne de Morioh et est la fille du policier Ryohei Higashikata.
Apparence
Tomoko est une femme de petite taille et mince. Elle a des cheveux foncés, raides, qu'elle plaque vers l'arrière de sa tête avec un serre-tête et qui lui tombent donc à peu près jusqu'au cou.
Tomoko apparait plusieurs fois dans l'histoire et change régulièrement sa tenue à chaque fois qu'ont la voit. Plusieurs personnages la décrivent comme étant très belle.
Personnalité
Tomoko Higashikata est une femme avec un fort tempérament et qui est toujours très attachée à Joseph malgré des années de séparation.
Tomoko est en somme une femme ordinaire, mais avec un fort caractère et un certain tempérament. Lors de son introduction, un homme essaie de la draguer mais celle-ci lui prend les cheveux et écrase sa face contre une voiture pour son impolitesse. Ironiquement, elle se plaint du mauvais caractère de Josuke en se demandant de qui il tient son tempérament, son père Ryohei pensant en privé que c'est Tomoko qui a donné à Josuke son caractère.[1] Malgré tout, Tomoko est en général une personne gentille envers sa famille et ses amis. Bien que Tomoko soit une personne ordinaire, lorsqu'elle voit quelqu'un s'introduire chez elle, elle a la présence d'esprit de brandir un couteau malgré sa peur.[2]
Malgré le fait qu'elle n'a pas revue Joseph depuis près de 16 ans, Tomoko est encore amoureuse de lui. Lorsque Jotaro lui rend visite, Tomoko le méprend pour Joseph et le prend dans ses bras, lui disant à tel point Joseph lui avait manqué. Tomoko est aussi proche de sa famille, vivant avec son père Ryohei et le pleurant quand ce dernier meurt. En tant que mère, Tomoko est plutôt familière avec Josuke. Par exemple, elle essaie de rappeler à Josuke de faire ses devoirs en lui donnant des coups de pied au dos pendant qu'il joue aux jeux vidéos pour le faire perdre.[3] Cependant, elle est sérieuse pour des sujets importants. Par exemple, elle gèle le compte de Josuke quand ce dernier acquier plus d'un million de yens avec Okuyasu et Shigechi car elle souhaite qu'il économise pour ses études à l'université.[4]
When Jotaro visits looking for Josuke, she breaks into tears and hugs him as she thought he was Joseph, whom she remains in love with. It is not known whether she knew he was married during their romance. She loves her family dearly, as evidenced by the close relationship she has with her son and had with her late father. She can also be strict with Josuke, as she froze his account when she found out he earned 1.33 million from a shared 5 million with Okuyasu and Shigechi. She understood that Josuke would spend it all if she didn't, and began saving it for his university funds.
Tomoko aime beaucoup un gâteau éponge de chez Kamakura.[2]
Tomoko a un tic. Quand elle est effrayée, elle avala inconsciemment sa salive.[2]
Histoire
Passé
Sometime before the events of Stardust Crusaders, Tomoko had a relationship with Joseph Joestar while still in university. The 62-year-old man, however, was married to Suzi Q at the time, and so Tomoko didn't tell him that she was pregnant with his illegitimate child, Josuke, of which Joseph had knowledge of only when the boy was 16.[5]
When Josuke was developing his Stand and became ill (much like his half-sister, Holy Kujo), she drove through a blizzard to take him to the hospital, though this resulted in the car being lodged in the snow. They were eventually saved by an unknown high school student with a pompadour, who had thrown his coat under the car, allowing it to plow through.
Diamond is Unbreakable
Tomoko is introduced as a short-tempered woman, assaulting a man who catcalled and then offered a ride to her. She then receives the visit from Jotaro Kujo, whom she mistakes for Joseph and hugs. In tears, she confesses her love for him but backs off bewildered when Jotaro lets her down that he isn't Joseph. She takes a long time to change Ryohei Higashikata's bedroom, depressed about his death by a stroke (which was actually the doing of Aqua Necklace).
Later on, she is attacked by Terunosuke Miyamoto, who invades her house and turns her into paper with his Stand, Enigma, after seeing her sign of fear (swallowing her saliva). Terunosuke then used her to see Josuke´s sign of fear, but was defeated by Josuke and Yuya Fungami and Tomoko was saved.
The Book: 4th Another Day
When Takuma Hasumi aims to take out Josuke using his stand, Tomoko accidentally gets caught in the attack and is severely injured. Later in the novel, Rohan Kishibe must remove the memory of the incident from her mind.
