Seven of the eight Jojo's Protagonists
JoJo (ジョジョ, lit. JoJo) is a titular 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).

The JoJo pun was derived from the lyrics of the Beatles song Get Back.
