Josefumi Kujo
Josefumi Kujo (空条 仗世文, Kūjō Josefumi) is a major character featured in Part VIII: JoJolion. According to Karera Sakunami, Josefumi is the original identity and current other half of Josuke Higashikata.
Appearance
Josefumi is a man of slim to medium build and seemingly average height. He closely resembles the original Josuke Higashikata in appearance, wearing metallic pins on his clothing and styling his hair into a pompadour with the sides of his head appearing to be shaved or simply bald. Josefumi wears a checker-patterned sweater over a loose-collared shirt with dark slacks.
Personality
Not much of Josefumi's personality has been disclosed at this point in the manga, but it can be assumed to be reasonably similar to that of the protagonist, seeing as someone very close to him was only somewhat doubtful that Josuke was indeed Josefumi, not entirely skeptical.
It could be implied that he was knowledgeable about the stone disease and/or the mysterious fruits as it was this information that led Yotsuyu Yagiyama to attempt to kill him.
Yagiyama also remarks that Josefumi is incredibly persist, mentioning that even after he killed him he found a way to return and pose as a hindrance to Yotsuyu's plans.
Synopsis
Josefumi used to know both Karera Sakunami and Yoshikage Kira, and at some point in time took a photo with both of them.
According to Yotsuyu Yagiyama, he once tried, but failed to kill Josefumi.
Eventually, Josefumi apparently met up with Kira and was buried together with him under the ground. A Wall Eye sprung up around that area, and the Protagonist emerged, with parts of Josefumi's body and mind fused to his own.
Karera would later explain to the Protagonist that his true identity was that of Josefumi, who had fused with Kira.
