Five of the eight Jojo's Protagonists.(From Left to Right: Jonathan Joestar, Josuke Higashikata, Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Giorno Giovanna.)

JoJo is a nickname shared by the main protagonists of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The name comes from the recurrence of "Jo" in the character's name.

In the case of Josuke, he takes his nickname, because the second kanji of his personal name, "suke", can also be read "jo". There's an unusual "exception" with the name Giorno Giovanna, who is called GioGio. However his name in katakana is written "Joruno Jobana", to reflect the Italian pronunciation of GioGio (a "Jo" sound rather than a "Gio" sound) .

Protagonists with nickname include:

• Part I: Phantom Blood - Jonathan Joestar
• Part II: Battle Tendency - Joseph Joestar
• Part III: Stardust Crusaders - Kujo Jotaro
• Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable - Josuke Higashikata
• Part V: Vento Aureo - Giorno Giovanna
• Part VI: Stone Ocean - Kujo Jolyne
• Part VII: Steel Ball Run - Johnny Joestar
• Part VIII: Jojolion - Josuke Higashikata

Non-protagonists who may be considered "JoJo"'s:

• George Joestar I
• George Joestar II
• Norisuke Higashikata IV (born Josuke)
