Kaato Higashikata
Kaato Higashikata (東方 花都, Higashikata Kaato) is a character appearing in JoJolion.
Kaato is Norisuke Higashikata IV's wife and mother to the four Higashikata children.
Appearance
Kaato is a 52-year-old woman with shoulder-length black hair, parted in the middle with two spiral buns on each side which end in two spiraling pigtails. Her eyes are split down the middle, like those of Josuke Higashikata, but hers are split in a zigzag pattern rather than evenly.
She wears a long dress with a layer of fringe along the waist, and with playing card back designs with the Higashikata family crest across her chest and on her hips. She also wears large rectangular bracelets on both of her wrists.

Abilities
Kaato's Stand appears to take the form of a simple deck of playing cards. However, by placing an object between two halves of the deck, she can store that object in the deck itself as if nothing was there.
Synopsis
Fifteen years ago, Kaato Higashikata was imprisoned in Morioh's Stone Ocean prison for an as of yet unknown crime. She is released from prison on time served shortly after her family's encounter with Tamaki Damo. The guards warn her that society has likely not yet forgiven her for her crimes, but they all loved her dearly. As she gets dressed in her original clothes, she retrieves a deck of cards she was allowed to have while imprisoned, which reveals a cellphone hidden within them, a result of her Stand's ability to hide things within the deck. She calls someone on the phone, who promises to pick her up at the prison, but she asks the caller to keep her release a secret from the family, as she wants to surprise Norisuke. As she hides the phone back in the deck of cards, Kaato claims she has no regrets for what she did as she plans on taking the life she lost back, and her caller is revealed to be her son Jobin. She leaves Stone Ocean prison, tossing her engagement ring from Norisuke in the air as she walks out a free woman.
