Josuke Higashikata (東方 定助, Higashikata Jōsuke)[a] is the main protagonist of the eighth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, JoJolion, and is the eighth JoJo of the series. He also reappears as a Primary antagonist in the ninth part, The JOJOLands.
Josuke is a young man afflicted with retrograde amnesia, lacking any memories prior to being discovered by Yasuho Hirose near the Wall Eyes in Morioh Town. He dedicates himself to discovering his former identity and those originally associated with him.
He eventually learns that he did not exist until Josefumi Kujo and Yoshikage Kira fused together with the Locacaca fruit, and is neither one nor the other. Josuke is a Stand User and retains an upgraded version of Josefumi's Soft & Wet.
Appearance
Josuke is a young, physically fit man of above-average height. Josuke has a diastema between his upper incisors and a star-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder. He has two sets of irises, four testicles, and two tongues, all joined as one, differing in texture and color. Yasuho mentions he resembles her dog, Josuke.
He wears a tasseled "Dixie cup" sailor cap (in multiple illustrations, it is adorned with the same palm insignia as Jotaro Kujo's hat). The brand of his hat is "SBR" (a reference to the Steel Ball Run race). He wears a sailor suit cropped above the navel with a wide neckline that exposes his birthmark, a neckerchief with a button resembling a slotted screw head, large emblems of an anchor on his right side, and a compass rose on his left, fitted pants with a belt, and a pair of high-top athletic shoes (which he mentions to have cost him 7,980 yen). His underwear reads "JOJO" around the waist.
After consuming a vial of Locacaca 6251, three small rectangular rocks grow on the left side of his face. One rock covers his left eye, attached above his eyebrow and below his eye. The other two rocks on his left cheek are right next to each other and angled towards his mouth. The rock covering his left eye later comes off after being attacked by Obladi Oblada, leaving only a few jagged pebbles where it attached to his skin.[6] The rocks on his left cheek are also removed later on, but they leave nothing behind.[7]
