Josefumi Kujo
Josefumi Kujo (空条 仗世文, Kūjō Josefumi) is a major character featured in 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 is similar to Josuke Higashikata in appearance, wearing metallic pins on his clothing and styling his hair into a pompadour with the sides bleached. Josefumi wears a checker-patterned sweater over a loose-collared shirt with dark slacks.
Personality
Not much is known about Josefumi Kujo, as he had fused with Kira to become half of Josuke Higashikata. He holds some sort of sentiment for Kira's mother saving his life as a child and would gladly do anything to help her.
Stand
Much like Josuke's Soft & Wet, Josefumi's Stand had the ability to absorb and attach things at a cellar level. He demonstrates this in a flashback by grafting a tree branch to the branch of another tree.
Synopsis
As a child, Josefumi nearly drowned on the beach, striking his head on a rock in the process. His life was saved when Yoshikage Kira used his Stand to remove a fatal blood clot that formed in Josefumi's brain due to the injury.
Years later, he is seen eating in the same ramen shop as Ojiro Sasame and Kira. As Ojiro leaves the shop, he accidentally bumped into Josefumi, causing the latter to spill an excessive amount of pepper into his ramen, which he soon removed using his Stand. Kira quickly recognized him afterwards.
The two meet up in the park later on to devise a plan to steal a Rokakaka Tree branch from Aisho Dainenjiyama. Josefumi insists that he help Kira as he feels some debt towards Kira's mother for saving him years ago.
Sometime after this incident, he took a photo with Kira and Karera.
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.
After Josuke meets Karera, she identifies him as Josefumi, which leads Josuke to stay with her to learn more about who Josefumi was, realizing that he must be the other half of himself who had fused with Kira. Josuke later learns during his fight with the A. Phex Brothers that they knew Josefumi as well, and Josefumi's Stand is similar in ways to Soft & Wet.
