Capcom Fighters/Jotaro Kujo
Jotaro Kujo appears as a fighter in Heritage for the Future, wielding his infamous Stand, Star Platinum.
This is the only official JoJo game to feature Kiyoyuki Yanada as Jotaro's voice actor, who would be replaced by Daisuke Ono in the future. As this game was released before the Stardust Crusaders anime, the colors for both Jotaro and Star Platinum are drawn from respective manga covers, the same color scheme that would be used for the future All-Star Battle.
Moveset and Gameplay
Jotaro thrives on offense-oriented gameplay, more on poking the enemy until they budge. Jotaro players are generally known to be very pesky and can push the fight to either side of the field in a short amount of time. This is due to their nature of gameplay prioritizing offense over defense, mostly to take advantage of the strength from his Blazing Fists special.
Due to his Blazing Fists (Stand Off) and ability to attack while Star Platinum performs a move, he is a lot more effective with Stand Off. This, in turn, increases the hits and the damage in comparison to attacks with Stand On.

Trivia
- Jotaro is normally the last opponent faced by the player in arcade mode when playing as a villain, if not DIO himself or even Kakyoin.
- Jotaro, Polnareff, Joseph and New Kakyoin are the only characters whose ending in Arcade Mode matches the original story; the rest of the roster receive unique endings.
- Jotaro has two unique lying-down sprites when he is knocked down or K.O'ed. When he is merely knocked over, he is leaning on one side of his body, slightly upright. When defeated completely, he lies flat down on the ground.
