The Higashikata Residence (東方邸, Higashikata-tei) is a recurring location featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable. It is the home of Josuke Higashikata and his family, situated in the Japanese town of Morioh.

Description

Located in the southern suburbs of Morioh, the Higashikata home is a Western-style house. The main structure is three stories, with an attached two-car garage left of the main entrance, and an additional entrance found in the homes kitchen. While the home is not explored in full, its known rooms include a living room, a lounge, a kitchen/dining room, a laundry room, at least one bathroom, and a memorial room. The memorial room, which is located on the second floor[2], is used to remember Ryohei Higashikata after his murder. Though they're never seen in detail, in preparation of his infiltration of the home, Anjuro Katagiri made holes in the homes roofing so his Stand could enter with the rain.[3]

The home is noted to be down the street from the Nijimura residence[4].

History

Josuke Higashikata! Meets Angelo

Anjuro, angry over his failed assassination attempt on Tomoko.

On a spring day in Morioh, Tomoko Higashikata is in her garage when she is visited by the criminal Anjuro Katagiri, disguised as a milkman. Anjuro attempts to kill her by hiding his Stand, Aqua Necklace, inside a milk bottle, but his plan is foiled when Tomoko notices it has a broken seal. Disgruntled, Anjuro swaps the bottles and leaves, later having his Stand infiltrate the home through its plumbing. While talking to Jotaro over the phone, Josuke sees Aqua Necklace on his mother’s lip, but manages to trap the Stand by punching through his mother and breaking a bottle with Crazy Diamond, healing her and imprisoning the Stand. Josuke waits for Jotaro to arrive so they can take the Stand somewhere remote. Anjuro spies on the home and notices Ryohei Higashikata arriving, recognizing him as the first cop to ever arrest him. When Josuke leaves to welcome Jotaro, Anjuro disguises Aqua Necklace as Ryohei’s favorite cognac. Josuke returns to find Ryohei dead, with Aqua Necklace escaping. While Josuke attempts to revive his grandfather, Jotaro tells him that no Stand can revive the dead. Josuke vows to avenge his grandfather and protect Morioh in his place.

Anjuro launches his attack on the Higashikata home.

While Tomoko visits family to grieve, Josuke and Jotaro wait inside the home for Anjuro to strike again, unknowing that the criminal is staking out the home. Three days later, when it finally starts raining, Anjuro launches his attack on the home, even managing to land a small attack on Jotaro who was outside. Inside, Josuke and Jotaro find that Anjuro has greatly enhanced Aqua Necklace's mobility by turning on faucets and creating steam in the house via boiling water. The two escape the steam by having Josuke break into a neighboring room and quickly repairing the wall, but this only works momentarily as Anjuro has set up a humidifier. Aqua Necklace finds its way into Josuke's mouth, but he reveals his prepared for this by swallowing a torn up latex glove. Using his Stand, Josuke restores the glove with Aqua Necklace inside and rapidly swings it, sending Anjuro flying onto a nearby street. Josuke and Jotaro leave the house to confront him once and for all.

The Nijimura Brothers

Looking to speak with Josuke, Jotaro knocks on the front door, but is greeted by Tomoko, who believes he is Joseph Joestar. Overcome by emotion, she dramtically cries into his chest, explaining her situation since her father died and repeatedly exclaiming that she loves him. Bothered, he explains to her that he is Joseph's grandson, and that he's looking for Josuke. After Tomoko tells him that Josuke has yet to come home from school, Jotaro leaves, but not before expressing sorrow for her situation and stating that though it would be irresponsible for Joseph to have come too, he knows he would've done anything to protect her.

On a morning after their battle, Okuyasu Nijimura arrives at the Higashikata house before school to pick up Josuke. While Josuke is reluctant, Tomoko invites him in for a cup of coffee before they leave. Okuyasu remarks on her beauty, much to Josuke's dismay.

Red Hot Chili Pepper

Red Hot Chili Pepper confronts Josuke in his own home.

Shortly after 10PM, Tomoko is scolding Josuke for playing a video game instead of doing his homework, repeatedly kicking his back until he accidentally hits a game over screen. Upset, he turns off his TV, but is confused when it suddenly turns back on, showing a different program. While trying to turn it off again Red Hot Chili Pepper appears on screen, and emerges in front of Josuke. When questioned, the Stand reveals he has been spying on Josuke as well as several other Stand users in Morioh, and states that he chose to attack Josuke as a test before attacking Jotaro. Red Hot Chili Pepper taunts Josuke, telling him to take the first shot and repeatedly telling him to step closer, but is surprised when Crazy Diamond punches and pummels him before he can react. However, the Stand manages to knock Josuke across the room, before making a swift retreat. Tomoko, who heard a commotion, angrily enters the room, but Josuke manages to set everything back to normal with his Stand before she can notice.

We Picked Up Something Crazy!

After his adventure with his father and saving the invisible baby, Josuke arrives home, relieved that all is well again. While reaching into his pockets, however, he finds a receipt showing that Joseph spent over ¥130,000 on the baby supplies earlier that day, practically emptying his bank account. Enraged, he curses the old man, with Joseph giving a confused glance while cradling the baby.

Enigma Boy

Enigma turns Tomoko into a sheet of paper.

While arriving to an empty home, Tomoko calls out for Josuke, before reasoning he must still be out. She heads to the kitchen, and complains upon noticing that he has seemingly eaten one of her snacks and taken a bite out of the second one, before noticing her panties folded on the kitchen counter. She is then startled by Terunosuke Miyamoto, who is sitting at the dining table, and threatens him with a knife to leave. Unbothered, he explains the concept of fear to her, and states that everyone has a telltale display of fear, hers being swallowing her saliva. From a folded sheet of paper, he produces a cup of coffee and the missing snack, taking a bite and licking the inside, once again scaring Tomoko. She attempts to run, but it's too late - Terunosuke's Stand, Enigma, successfully attacks her and traps her inside a sheet of paper.

Goodbye Morioh - The Golden Heart

The information below derives from the Diamond is Unbreakable TV anime which was not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.

In the aftermath of Yoshikage Kira's death, Koichi explains through narration how Morioh returned to normal over the summer, shown through vignettes of it's citizens. Back at the Higashikata home, Tomoko is once again frustrated by Josuke eating her snacks, stating that she'll just drink his juice in return. As she exits the kitchen, a framed picture of the two accompanied by Ryohei and smiling is shown.
