SPOILER WARNING:
Josuke Higashikata (東方 定助, Higashikata Jōsuke) is the main protagonist of JoJolion. He is the eighth JoJo of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.
Josuke is a young man afflicted with retrograde amnesiaW, 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.
Josuke's original identity was that of Josefumi Kujo (空条 仗世文, Kūjō Josefumi), and became his current self after fusing with the man Yoshikage Kira (吉良 吉影, Kira Yoshikage). Josuke is a Stand User and retains his original identity's Soft & Wet, albeit with slight alterations influenced by his other half.
Josuke is a young, physically fit man of above-average height.Josuke has a diastemaW 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.
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, cut with a wide neck and above the navel, 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. Yasuho mentions he resembles her dog, Josuke.
Josuke Higashikata is a quirky amnesiac determined to learn his true identity and his past.
Josuke is afflicted by extensive retrograde amnesia, lacking memory of himself or events prior to meeting Yasuho Hirose, but retaining various degrees of knowledge. As such, Josuke is driven to discover who he was by investigating the circumstances of his presence in the beach prior to having been saved by Yasuho; that goal occupy nearly all of his activities and no action on his part isn't made without approaching him of learning the truth. That drive is sufficiently strong that he was willing to interrupt a rare moment with his love interest Yasuho to investigate Karera Sakunami. After learning about his past identity, Josuke set for himself the new goal of retrieving the Locacaca branch and use the fruit to heal Holy Joestar-Kira. He still demonstrates the same steadfastness in investigating the fruit and the whereabouts of the Locacaca Organization, with the addition of deferring more to Rai Mamezuku's opinions, deeming the plant appraiser's expertise about the fruit worth listening to. His determination to reach his goals is best illustrated when he willingly steps into a rain made deadly by Wonder of U, letting his body get pierced by raindrops including his head just to reach the hospital.
Josuke seems to have retained certain traits from both of his original identities. At times he displays strong emotions like Josefumi, while also being able to analyze situations and strategize like Yoshikage. However, Josuke ultimately considers himself separated from both, neither being Kira nor Josefumi as he doesn't have memories from either man, nor did anyone from Josefumi's past look for him. It causes him to question what he really is and consider his identity to be nebulous. Nonetheless, he felt a strong sadness when he first saw Holy Joestar-Kira, meaning he's also retained subconscious memories strong enough to still feel attachment to her.
While Josuke can be violent at times, he also has a degree of restraint toward enemies he doesn't have to kill. On multiple occasions he has asked members of the Higashikata family for permission before pursuing an enemy that relates to them, and even kept his promise to not harm Jobin while trying to get information about the Locacaca out of him. However, Josuke is willing to defend himself and the people he knows from anyone who wishes to harm them. Unlike his counterpart Jotaro, Josuke isn't disturbed at the idea of hitting women and readily knocked out Kei when she attacked her. Josuke is not afraid to threaten to kill, and he indeed killed Tamaki Damo in cold-blood in retaliation for threatening his adoptive family, though his main goal of discovering his identity meaning that killing his aggressors is counterproductive. That killing intent is easily triggered when someone hurts Yasuho. Josuke has also proven to be proficient at manipulating people, notably Jobin with whom he would adopt a more nonchalant persona to seem harmless. Apart from that, Josuke approaches his task calmly and methodically.
Josuke is relatively polite and has been shown to strongly value familial relationships. Being amnesiac, Josuke places a great emphasis on one's family and legacy, wishing to learn his own past. The fact that no one came looking for him while hospitalized deeply unnerves him, to the point he can shed tears at the thought, and Josuke honors Norisuke Higashikata's adoption of him, considering himself a part of the Higashikatas. When Karera rejects her own parents, Josuke comments that they would never get along. He's not only willing to defend his adoptive family, but he strongly desires to cure Holy of her illness despite not having any memories of her. However, Josuke continues to suspect members of the Higashikata family of working against him. Josuke cares for Yasuho on a stronger level than even his family, and any threat to her well being greatly angers him. In fact, during his battle with Yotsuyu Josuke is shown to possess a similar type of willpower to Johnny Joestar's "dark determination". However, when it comes to his goals Josuke is straight to the point and hardly tolerates any circling around the subject. For instance he didn't hesitate to directly ask Norisuke if he killed Yoshikage Kira, forcing the latter to explain his motives.
Despite all this Josuke also has a certain number of humorous quirks. He seems to be totally oblivious when it comes to mundane things while at the same time retaining in-depth knowledge of animal and plant species. Josuke prefers sleeping underneath a whole mattress rather than its bedsheets for its "increased compression", he also regularly spills food he enjoys. During his earlier interactions with Yasuho, Josuke would pry on her breast size offhandedly, measuring it by sight (a trait that he probably gained from Yoshikage, as Holy was shown to possess a similar skill). Josuke has also demonstrated a more childish side, implanting his hair into Joshu and Hato Higashikata for fun. Whenever the mood is right Josuke seems to have fun declaring his victory. He notably consciously poses after outsmarting the population of Shakedown Road and also smugly claimed his win against Jobin in a stag beetle fight.
JoJolion (2011) The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)
To hide from the police, Josuke and Rai put a Lamborghini on a tree, using the reprieve to gather their thoughts. They theorize that Satoru Akefu's Stand is attacking by making things knock into them but are unsure about the trigger. Moreover, Rai discovers that Satoru Akefu may be attending a lecture on regenerative medicine at the TG University Hospital. Once they decide to actually go to the lecture, Satoru's Stand reappears only to disappear again when Josuke summons Soft & Wet. Its reappearance makes them realize that it is triggered by the intent of pursuit. As they worriedly leave the car to escape the incoming attack, Josuke and Rai discover with horror that the drops from an incoming rain become lethal projectiles, forcing them to take refuge in a police car. Josuke also realizes that Yasuho may be in danger herself. Cornered, Josuke spends the moment reflecting on himself and explains that he still doesn't know his identity. Case in point, despite knowing both of the identities of the men who made him, he still doesn't identify as either of them. Josuke gets extremely determined to reach Satoru Akefu's lecture and steps out of the car, willingly subjecting himself to grievous injuries to be taken to the hospital. At the hospital he encounters Holy Joestar-Kira who saves him from his grievous injuries caused by Wonder of U's calamity ability. As the calamity ability starts to take its toll on Josuke's body Holy gives him the Locacaca 6251 in order to save his life. By doing this she soon starts to fall back into her coma due to the forced Locacaca experiments done on her by Toru and the Rock Human's. When she falls back into her coma, Josuke tearfully declares his identity as "Josuke Higashikata" and that no matter what Holy will always be his true mother. After destroying the lab room both of them were in, he resolves himself to save Holy and gain the New Locacaca.. Upon waiting for Wonder of U to confront him after he backed him into a corner with black mail, Rai Mamezuku returns to the hospital to help Josuke do battle with Wonder of U, who summons the rock Insect Dododo De Dadada to attack them. After Rai manages to kill the rock insect before its asbestos could poison Josuke the fight begins to push Wonder of U into a corner, however due to some taunting Wonder of U tricks Rai into attacking him in a fit of rage only to activate Soft & Wets bubbles (via the stands calamity) that Josuke was hiding in attempt to use on Wonder of U, in turn eviscerating Rais body. Ultimately this calimity attack mortally wounded Rai, before he dies, Rai tells Josile the truth of his Soft and wets bubbles and that they operate under the Spin.
Go Beyond (story arc)
Josuke angered by Wonder of U and its taunts that it would kill Yasuho Hirose, begins to destroy multiple vials of Locacaca 6251 that backfire as the calimity launches the shards at his throat. After some taunting by Wonder of U Kei Nijimura joins the fight in an attempt to help Josuke and bring Paisley Park to him, this however results in her death, but allows Yasuho to finally reach Josuke and tell him that Wonder of U's user is Toru. With this knowledge in mind Josuke activates his Spin ability Soft & wet:Go Beyond through the prompting of Rai's spirit. Wonder of U attempts to slow Josuke down with another rock insect named Obladi Oblada but he manages to kill the rock insect by drowning it in a hospital pool and through Paisley Park's help he launches two Go beyond bubbles directly though Toru. Now mortally damaged Toru's calamity on Yasuho was put to a stop, with Josuke leaving the hospital to head to the Higashikata estate. At the same time Toru was finished off by Kaato Higashikata before her death. During the aftermath of this battle, remnants of Wonder of U, still alive after Toru's death attempted to attack the Higashikata family, but Josuke arrives destroys it with Go beyond putting an end to Toru and his stand for good.
The Radio Gaga Incident (story arc)
Afterward Josuke returned to Tg University Hospital to briefly grieve his mother Holy's situation with all traces of the Locacaca gone and destroyed within Morioh , aswell as the the death of Kei and Rai, and had a brief interaction with Kiyomi Kujo, who Josuke learns from Yasuho was still searching for Josefumi. He returns to the Higashikata fruit parlor with Yasuho as he choices a cake with the rest of the family to celebrate Norisuke's discharge from the hospital, finally accepting his identity.
Stand
Soft & Wet is Josuke's Stand. Initially belonging to Josefumi, Josuke retains it after the fusion with Kira, although with some minor differences. Its primary ability ("Plunder") is to steal some aspect or property of a target; to be contained in one or more small soap bubbles (bearing the image of his birthmark), which may be returned or transferred to other objects. This ability has been used both offensively and strategically. Soft & Wet also demonstrates above-average strength, as well as the capacity for rapid melee attack common to humanoid Stands. Like him, Josuke's Stand is described as a fusion of Yoshikage Kira's Killer Queen and the original Soft & Wet belonging to Josefumi Kujo. During his fight with Yotsuyu Yagiyama, Josuke decides to "use [his] soap bubbles for offense rather than defense..." Soft & Wet is shown to be able to surround and contain objects by creating a soap bubble and punching it into said object. The bubble bursts but then reforms around the target; Josuke is then able to make the bubble and object inside float anywhere he wants to, just like his regular soap bubbles. By combining strikes with his bubbles, he is able to 'inject' one of his soap bubbles into the flesh of his opponents, causing superficial damage when he pops them. The explosive property of the bubbles was first demonstrated against the A. Phex Brothers, and described by them as being very similar to Kira's ability.
•Sight: Josuke possesses exceptional sight, being capable of accurately describing the dimensions of organic objects such as humans and trees from afar (a trait shared with Holy Joestar-Kira). Moreover he seems to have a wide field of view, spotting movement at his feet's level despite looking away.
•Hand-to-hand combat: Josuke demonstrates a natural affinity towards hand to hand combat having fluidly blocked and struck an opponent in one swift motion, augmenting the damage his blow causes with the powers of his Stand. He is also capable of displaying high reflexes and fast reaction speed common of experienced fighters.
