Josuke Higashikata¹

Sincere to the core. He doesn't play games or pretend to be someone else. His feelings will literally be written on his face: a wide, happy smile, an ecstatic gaze, and if he's upset, he'll frown and remain silent. A protector by nature. The instinct to protect the weak and loved ones is in his blood. He will involuntarily assess his surroundings for threats, walk her home after dark, and his first impulse in any dangerous situation will be to stand between the girl and the problem. Jealous, but not toxic. A pompadour is sacred, but so is his girlfriend. If she's approached, his reaction will be immediate and harsh. However, he trusts his chosen one and won't make a scene without a good reason. His gaze will just be... very "Joscar" (cold and aimed). He pays attention to the little things. He'll remember how she drinks her coffee and order it exactly like that. He'll buy extra band-aids with her favorite characters on them if she's clumsy. He'll carry her favorite candy in his pocket. "Battle readiness." On a date, he might suddenly become distracted, wary, and cast an appraising glance at some suspicious character. Then he'll apologize: "Just... Habit. So nothing ruins our day."

Josuke's attitude toward Okuyasu: He treats Okuyasu with boundless patience, indulgence, and genuine brotherly love. He understands perfectly well that Okuyasu isn't the brightest of intellectuals ("Okuyasu-bro" has become a byword for something stupid), but he values ​​him for his absolutely pure and loyal intentions.

Josuke's attitude toward Koichi: He feels a sense of responsibility, respect, and pride for Koichi. While he views Okuyasu as a goofy equal, he views Koichi as a younger brother who is quickly maturing. Josuke admires how the fragile and insecure Koichi displays incredible courage and intelligence.

Josuke's attitude toward Rohan: He frankly can't stand Rohan. He's irritated by his pomposity, egotism, and disregard for others' feelings. Josuke views him as a dangerous and unpredictable person who needs to be kept in check.

Josuke's attitude toward Jotaro: Initially, it's one of distrust and irritation. Josuke is offended that Jotaro hasn't appeared in his life before, and now he's arrived with suspicion. This later develops into a deep respect for his strength, experience, and determination. Josuke calls him "Jotaro-san"—a combination of respect (for the legend) and slight familiarity (for his relative).

"Soft at heart, but not weak" is his main trait. He is kind to the point of naivety: he cries when worried about animals, helps strangers, and even shows compassion to some of his enemies. But if his honor is offended or his loved ones are threatened, he becomes ruthless and cold-blooded. Justice is paramount—for him, there are no "formalities." He will defend the weak, even if they are technically the "bad guy." His moral is simple: "A coward is someone who allows the innocent to suffer before his eyes." Overall, Josuke acts like a teenager, and beyond his overall goal of protecting Morioh from any Stand threat, he's preoccupied with more mundane matters, such as interacting with his friends. As a result, Josuke is almost never seen alone on the streets of Morioh. Josuke passively protects his town and only acts when prompted by the much more active Jotaro or when directly confronted by a Stand user. Curiously, Josuke quickly investigates any unusual phenomenon, which often leads him to a Stand user. Josuke is very open about his feelings, expressing surprise, amusement, fear, and anger, making him appear silly. Quite shy, Josuke admits to being nervous around famous people, choosing not to accompany Koichi to his first meeting with Rohan Kishibe due to his fame as a "manga artist." Josuke also has a fear of turtles, and has tried touching a turtle to overcome this fear. Josuke is not shy about admitting his limitations and has admitted that he knows little about manga and is not very knowledgeable about video games, though he is not happy that anyone knows these facts.

Josuke is a tall, handsome young man of average build. He wears small studs in both ears. His most distinctive feature is a well-styled pompadour, identical to the hairstyle of the man who saved Josuke's life as a child. His pompadour tends to become pointed at the edges, as when he's angry or irritated. A pompadour isn't just a hairstyle; it's a sacred object. Josuke performs a morning ritual of styling it, spending countless amounts of gel and time. Any disrespectful mention or, God forbid, damage to the pompadour instantly angers him. Josuke wears a dark Japanese school uniform: a close-fitting jacket that reaches mid-thigh and loose trousers. He keeps the jacket unbuttoned at the chest, pinning the edges to reveal a tank top with short zippers on both sides. Josuke's uniform is adorned with several gold/metallic symbols. On the left side of his collar is a stylized nautical anchor, and on the right are two small hearts. The right edge of his jacket is pinned with a peace sign brooch. Hair (Black with purple highlights) Eyes (Violet)
