The Joestar Family (ジョースター家, Jōsutā Ke) is the main family featured in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, which each of the protagonists of the series is a part of. It was a powerful family with English roots; most of its members attract particular trials and tribulations when confronting the supernatural. The Joestar Family is also notable for i...
The Joestar family has had a rich history and each of its members have had wildly different lives from each others. One of their key features are a star-shaped birthmark above their left shoulder blade, a feature that was hijacked by Dio Brando when he stole Jonathan's body.
They began as a noble and well-off family of British society, residing in a luxurious mansion in England, thanks to George Joestar I's trading business. However, his son, Jonathan Joestar, burned down the mansion in an effort to slay the vampirised Dio Brando, who had been his adopted brother, and the family has lived elsewhere since then, their homes occupying different countries depending on the generation. The family has also abandoned its roots in nobility notwithstanding most of the descendants having prominent occupations.
The Joestar line has English and even Scottish roots, however, its members became more diversified with time, starting with Joseph Joestar marrying and having children with Italian and Japanese women. This trend has continued with his descendants, such as Josephs daughter Holy marrying a Japanese man and then living in Japan, as well as Jotaro Kujo marrying an Italian-American woman and going to live in the United States. Thus the Joestar Family are also connected to Italy, Japan, and the United States.
The family's archenemy is Dio Brando, his evilness, immortality, and worldwide influence leading to the Joestars battling the Vampire and his followers for the majority of their recent history. Due to the exceptional circumstances of Dio Brando stealing Jonathan's body, the Brando Family is deeply connected to the Joestars, and several members can be considered to be both children of Jonathan and Dio in a way.
The Joestar family is considerably connected to the supernatural, several of its members meeting with supernatural creatures and combating fantastical threats with varying degrees of willingness. They also have a predisposition for having supernatural abilities. The family's earlier members can count among them a high number of Ripple users, but Joseph was their final representative. Afterwards, each of the main Joestars become Stand users, all blessed with powerful Stand abilities.
Although the family's members are largely referred to as the Joestars, the family name itself died out early in the series with Joseph, as he only had 2 children, a daughter and a illegitimate son. From then on they had different names such as "Kujo" and "Cujoh". The high number of illegitimate children in the family also results in names such as "Higashikata" or "Giovanna". The most prominent members of the family throughout the generations have had a tendency to have alliterative names, earning them the shared moniker of "JoJo" amongst their respective friends and/or family.
