Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)
The tentatively-named Josuke Higashikata is the main protagonist of Part VIII: Jojolion.
Appearance
The protagonist is a tall, muscular man who resembles Jotaro Kujo, but his wardrobe consists of what seems to be a sailor suit. In multiple cover pictures of him, his hat has the same hand emblem that Jotaro's hat has. There is also an anchor on his shirt that resembles the anchor on the original Josuke's collar. He has a star-shaped birthmark on his shoulder and (to the astonishment of Yasuho Hirose) four testicles. He also presents diastema. Oddly enough, Yasuho mentions that he bears a resemblance to her dog, Josuke.
Real Identity
The real name of this character is unknown. The second chapter stated that his name could be Yoshikage Kira, but he later doubts this after his confrontation with Sasame Ojirou in Kira's apartment. He eventually discovers that neither he nor Sasame is Kira.
However, his DNA tests reveals that his body matches Kira, suggesting that there is indeed a special link between the two of them. Later on, Nijimura reveals that the protagonist is actually a fusion of Yoshikage Kira and another individual.[1]
As he has no known name at this time, he is given the name "Josuke Higashikata" by Norisuke Higashikata IV.
