Araki's #1-10 Favorite Characters
- According to Araki, as of Steel Ball Run, Josuke is his favorite "JoJo". He explains that because of the general everyday neighborhood setting of Part 4, he felt more attached to Josuke, and considered him somewhat like a friend or a senior. In contrast, Jotaro was "more of someone you would admire as a hero". [9]
- Due to his youth, it is easier to see what Josuke is feeling. Unlike Jotaro or Giorno , this also makes him easier to talk to, though someone would have to try harder if he was upset about something or his attention was focused elsewhere.
- Josuke and Koichi have the odd trait of "beating the evil out of people". At the end of part four the total number of people they've fought that became allies was six (Okuyasu Nijimura, Toshikazu Hazamada, Yukako Yamagishi, Rohan Kishibe, Tamami Kobayashi, Yuuya Fungami).
- Josuke is the JoJo with the smallest killing spree, with only killing Mushikui and Yoshihiro Kira(indirectly).
- Josuke's favorite phrase is the English word "Great!" (グレート!). He often extends the word depending on the situation.
- Japanese fans sometimes refer to Part IV with "hamburger patty", referring to the appearance of Josuke's hairstyle. This goes along the same lines as Part V being represented by chocolate cornets, which refer to Giorno's look.
- Josuke's surname, Higashikata, is written using the same kanji as Touhou (東方). The video game series sharing the same name has been known to reference the series frequently; the creator ZUN himself is a fan.
- By the end of Stone Ocean Josuke is one of three JoJo's who was not killed prior to Made In Heaven's universal reset. The other two being his father & Giorno, but It is assumed that Pucci indirectly killed them as well.
- Josuke, Joseph, Jonathan and Giorno, are the only Jojo protagonists to completly lose the battles they faced were in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle League.
- In Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle, during Josuke's Hair Insult counter taunt on Iggy, Josuke can ironically hear what Iggy thinks in his head.
