Jotaro Kujo

Enya: Jotaro was one of Enya's primary targets, as he was one of the most powerful Stand users who opposed her main biography, but she was wary of Jotaro's strength and intelligence. For his part, Jotaro held a low opinion of Enya. Jotaro was still shocked to see Enya die on DIO's orders, but he remains loyal. Anjuro Katagiri: Due to his attempt to kill Josuke's mother and his successful assassination of his grandfather, Angelo was Jotaro's enemy. Being a notorious, brutal killer and recent Stand user, Angelo disgusted Jotaro and was one of the reasons Jotaro personally went to Morioh to stop him. Akira Otoishi: Because Jotaro was investigating the activities of Stand users, Otoishi saw him as a threat and attempted to kill him. When Josuke stood in his way, Otoishi decided to kill Joseph instead, but was stopped by Okuyasu. When Otoishi is arrested, Jotaro threatens to hunt him down if he escapes prison. Jotaro later interrogates Otoishi, who reveals that he shot a rat with a bow (but concealed the fact that he shot two rats eaten by bugs and a SHAblon:MN). Jongalli A: Jongalli A harbors a grudge against Jotaro for killing DIO. While they have little interaction, the fact that he framed Jolyne for the murder and attempted to kill both him and her made them enemies.

Daniel J. D'Arby: Daniel J. D'Arby's combination of gambling prowess and stand-up prowess impressed Jotaro, even making him nervous at times. Jotaro even went so far as to say that D'Arby was the most dangerous player they'd ever encountered in the stands. Despite a combination of intimidation and pure luck, Jotaro managed to outwit D'Arby and leave him in shock. After meeting Daniel's brother, Telence, Jotaro acknowledged Daniel as a superior player, claiming that Daniel would have seen through the trick he used against Telence. N'Doul: Although the two were enemies, Jotaro came to respect N'Doul as a fighter during their fight, noting that N'Doul managed to knock his hat off, an impressive feat according to Jotaro. Jotaro was impressed by N'Doul's devotion to DIO and buried him out of respect when he died. Steely Dan: Because Steely Dan cold-bloodedly murdered Enya, an elderly yet powerful woman, and then used his temporary position of power to constantly humiliate Jotaro, the latter developed a strong dislike for Steely Dan. When Steely Dan took a child hostage, Jotaro, not only satisfied with breaking his limbs, inflicted particularly brutal beatings in retaliation. Anubis: Jotaro comments that Anubis, a Stand that relies on a simple, powerful ability—specifically, speed rivaling Star Platinum—rather than a gimmick, makes it particularly dangerous. Anubis attempted to kill Jotaro several times using multiple host bodies, including Polnareff. Jotaro sliced ​​Anubis in half. Anubis possessed a child and attempted to stab Jotaro before Iggy tripped it.

DIO: Before they met, but after hearing about each other, DIO and Jotaro were enemies. While DIO simply thought of Jotaro as a powerful Stand user, Jotaro held a low opinion of the former, but was at least intrigued by the fact that he was charismatic enough to gain the loyalty of other powerful Stand users, such as N'Doul. During their clash, DIO viewed Jotaro as just as much of a threat as Jonathan, if not more so, going to extremes to outsmart and ensure his death. While Jonathan was an opponent DIO respected, Jotaro was an opponent DIO feared, due to Jotaro's ability to move through time. After DIO seemingly killed his grandfather Joseph right before his eyes, Jotaro's hatred for DIO intensified to the point that for the first time, Jotaro became visibly enraged and acted out of anger. After a brief but grueling fight with the vampire, Jotaro finally managed to outwit and kill DIO. Enrico Pucci: Pucci held a grudge against Jotaro for killing DIO. However, Jotaro was unaware of Pucci's existence until the end of Stone Ocean. Pucci took revenge by stealing Jotaro's memories and Stand to leave his lifeless corpse to rot. However, he knew he was a dangerous Stand user and took every precaution against him. Pucci ultimately killed Jotaro in Florida. Yoshikage Kira: Jotaro first encountered Kira outside the Centipede Shoe Store after Jotaro was critically injured in a Sheer Heart Attack. Kira underestimated Jotaro due to his poor condition, only to be scolded by Star Platinum for his troubles. Kira noticed how dangerous Jotaro was and tried to avoid encountering him again.

Jean-Pierre Polnareff: After joining the group during their journey to Egypt, Polnareff gradually becomes a good friend to everyone. Jotaro becomes more friendly with Polnareff, teaming up with him without issue and openly displaying his friendship. Jotaro also respects Polnareff as a fighter, commenting that his Silver Chariot Star Platinum would be able to withstand Anubis possessing Polnareff. At the end of Part 3, Joseph and Polnareff mourn the loss of their friends with Jotaro. Before going their separate ways, the group embraces one last time, promising to meet again someday. Jotaro's only comment towards Polnareff was a friendly insult, mentioning that he could never forget his ugly face. Iggy: Jotaro meets Iggy undeservedly, but their relationship gets off to a bad start when Iggy refuses to cooperate in a fight, leading Jotaro to throw him into N'Dul. In retaliation, Iggy plays a prank on Jotaro. Iggy, though he doesn't openly admit it, is a very proud Stand user, even believing The Fool to be stronger than Star Platinum. After the battle with DIO, Jotaro and Joseph acknowledge his death along with the other fallen Crusaders. Koichi Hirose: After witnessing Koichi's bravery during the events in Morioh, particularly in his fight against Kira's Sheer Heart Attack while Jotaro was unconscious, he developed a great deal of respect and trust for him. This bond later influenced Jotaro, who chose him to investigate Giorno Giovanna for his bloodline connections to both the Joestars and DIO. Okuyasu Nijimura: Despite their limited interaction, Okuyasu seemed to view Jotaro as a mentor, though he ignored his advice and pursued Red Hot Chili Pepper on his own. Jotaro is irritated by his short temper and lack of intelligence, but nevertheless seems to see him as an ally. Anne: Jotaro treated the runaway girl as a burden and an annoyance, but continued to protect her from enemies like the fake Captain Tennille and Forever.

Giorno Giovanna: Although they never formally met, Jotaro investigated Giorno due to his connections to DIO and the Joestar Family. After learning of Giorno's relationship with DIO, Jotaro avoided meeting him in person and trusted Koichi to investigate him in his stead. Muhammad Avdol: His initial encounter with Avdol wasn't particularly friendly, but after Jotaro began to truly understand Star Platinum and Stands, they quickly became allies. During their journey, Avdol takes on the role of mentor, providing the rest of the group with information on enemies like Gray Fly, Devo, and Midler. Jotaro later honored him in death alongside Polnareff and Joseph. Noriaki Kakyoin: Like with Avdol, Jotaro's relationship with Kakyoin begins with a battle. After defeating him, Jotaro takes Kakyoin to his home to remove DIO's implant and free him from the vampire's control. Later, Jotaro and Kakyoin develop a strong friendship, finding a shared interest in sumo wrestling, and Kakyoin is one of the few people who makes Jotaro smile. Kakyoin sacrifices his life to give Jotaro an advantage against DIO, and Jotaro salutes the fallen, along with Joseph and Polnareff. In a special interview with JOJONIUM, Araki comments that without their abilities, Jotaro and Kakyoin would hardly have become friends. Rohan Kishibe: Jotaro and Rohan are allies in the battle against Yoshikage Kira. Rohan states that they are not particularly close,[9] but seem to have a mutual interest in each other, as Rohan has his phone number in his phone book.[10] Rohan also attempts to reach the Morioh Grand Hotel, believing that Jotaro will help him deal with Cheap Trick.[9]

Suzi Q: Although they never interacted in the manga, there was a scene in the anime where Jotaro spoke to his grandmother on the phone. He respects her and assures her there's nothing to worry about when Joseph can't talk to her. Suzi states that she was truly happy to hear her grandson's voice after so long. She's heard that Jotaro has become wild lately, but deep down, she knows he's a sweet child who truly cares for his family. Josuke Higashikata: They have a mentor-protégé relationship. Although Josuke is younger than him, Jotaro is his nephew. When they first met, Josuke attacked Jotaro for disparagingly mentioning his hair (despite Jotaro not intending to insult Josuke), but over the course of the series, the two became allies and aided each other several times against the various enemy Stands that appeared in Morioh. Jotaro respects Josuke's abilities and gentleness, although he is irritated by his personality, and trusts him completely during their fight against Mushikouya. Sadao Kujo: A renowned jazz musician, Sadao left his family to go on tour and was never actually seen in the series. It's unknown how long he was absent, but there was no indication that Jotaro resented him for it. Holy Kujo: Jotaro cares deeply for his mother. As a child, Jotaro loved playing ball with her, but by his teens, his attitude had changed to the point where he reproaches her for being overprotective and calls her annoying. In truth, they care for each other, and Holy isn't bothered by Jotaro's rude behavior, as she knows his true feelings. When she fell ill due to her Stand taking over her body, Jotaro asked Joseph what they should do to cure her. It was his concern for his mother's life that led him to travel to Egypt to fight DIO.

Jotaro's relationships with people are usually straightforward, due to his personality type. He tends to keep his emotions to himself, believing people can read his emotions simply by observing him. Simply put, unless someone angers him, he's usually pleased with those around him.

Family Jolyne Cujoh: His only child. Due to numerous excursions, Jotaro rarely visited Jolyne for most of her childhood and adolescence. As such, she resented him, though she sometimes craved his attention. His divorce only made matters worse; Jolyne even refused to mention him until he visited her in prison. Jotaro, however, treasured Jolyne greatly, putting her safety above all else throughout the Stone Ocean and fully realizing he was a bad father. Eventually, they began to mend their relationship, and Jolyne finally understood why Jotaro was constantly absent and what exactly he was fighting for. Joseph Joestar: Jotaro doesn't typically share his grandfather's humor, and they are two different people. Despite this, they seem to get along well and can share a laugh from time to time, and during their journey to Egypt, they became even closer friends over the sake of saving Holy. When Joseph was infected by Steely Dan's Lovers, Jotaro endured the humiliation to protect his grandfather and avenge him. They were able to work together against Telence T. D'Arby solely due to their shared familial intuition, and when DIO desecrated Joseph's corpse, Jotaro became so enraged that he attacked DIO directly, despite knowing the grave risks. Despite resenting Joseph for his affair with Josuke's mother, he still cared for his grandfather, especially in his old age, and decided to protect Josuke's mother for Joseph's sake, demonstrating his respect for his grandfather's feelings. He even smiled when he saw how Josuke and Joseph were getting along with each other.

Jotaro is also adept at using deception. He defeated the D'Arby brothers, among the most cunning and calculating characters in the series, and beat the eldest in a game of poker with nothing more than a bluff. He was also able to trick DIO several times, which earned him victory in battle. He skillfully uses provocation and is capable of angering even the most reserved opponent.

Knowledge: Jotaro is shown to have a wide range of knowledge in various fields and is prone to acquiring new ones. At the beginning of Part 3, he collected several books on the paranormal to learn more about his power. In Part 4, it is revealed that he specializes in ocean biology; has knowledge that allows him to hunt certain animals, gave Josuke brief instructions on hunting two Rats with Stands and found them fairly quickly. Strength: Jotaro himself also possesses superhuman strength, able to withstand incredibly powerful attacks, falls from great heights, and powerful explosions. His endurance is sufficient to withstand multiple fractures and stab wounds, and he was able to return to battle after injuries inflicted by Sheer Heart Attack; even when transformed into a boy by Sethan, he was able to easily defeat an athletic adult man with brute force alone. Cigarette Trick: Jotaro can supposedly hold up to five cigarettes in his mouth, lit side down, and drink the juice without releasing them. Oingo was unable to replicate this technique. However, this trick may be a hoax. Bluffing: During both the Telence T. D'Arby and Daniel J. D'Arby arcs, Jotaro won thanks to his impressive bluffing ability, as demonstrated by his refusal to look at his cards during a poker game with D'Arby Sr. and his confidence that Joseph Joestar would pick up on his signal when announcing his serve against D'Arby Jr. The Joestar Family's "Secret Technique," which involves fleeing, is usually used as a last resort. Jotaro uses it during his battle with Rubber Soul.[8]

Jotaro often uses his Stand's superhuman abilities to enhance his own abilities. He can use Star Platinum's enhanced vision to see distant objects, and, like other Stand users, can block attacks aimed at him with his Stand. Jotaro often defends himself by channeling Star Platinum within his body, allowing him to use its enhanced power to propel himself into the air. This jumping technique appears during his fight with N'Doul and is used during Jotaro's final confrontation with DIO. He also glides through the air when confronting DIO, though it's unclear whether this is an exaggeration of the aforementioned jumping technique or an actual ability to fly.

Due to its short duration, Jotaro only uses time stop with caution. He primarily uses it defensively, using the extra time to protect an ally or avoid attacks, and only rarely uses time stop offensively. Personal Intelligence: Jotaro is a skilled tactician, using a combination of brute force and unexpected tricks to achieve victory. Thanks to Star Platinum's immense power, Jotaro can escape any difficult situation or employ unexpected tactics, such as using his Stand's lungs. Jotaro has occasionally used his surroundings to his advantage, hiding thick books in his clothes in anticipation of DIO using throwing knives against him. He also found a way to trick N'Doul using The Fool glider. The years have only increased his wit, and in Parts 4 and 6, Jotaro demonstrates an observational ability that allows him to anticipate opponents' movements and attacks, a good understanding of the general mechanics of Stands, and the ability to identify a Stand's weaknesses.

Star Platinum Main article: Star Platinum One of the most powerful Stands in the series, Star Platinum possesses superhuman senses, strength, endurance, precision, and speed. Like other physically powerful close-range Stands, Star Platinum suffers from a limited range; it is only active within 2-3 meters of Jotaro.

He is the same type as The World DIO, and is also revealed to have the ability to stop time, an ability unlocked at the very end of his fight with DIO. PWR A SPD A RNG C STA A PRC A DEV A The Star Tarot card, after which it is named, symbolizes, above all, hope. Star Platinum: The World Main article: Star Platinum: The World During the final battle against DIO, Star Platinum awakens the ability to stop time.

This is the highest form Jotaro has evolved his Stand to. Star Platinum: The World can stop time for as long as five seconds. Its duration seems to fluctuate depending on how consistently Jotaro uses the ability.[7] Star Platinum Over Heaven This Stand appears in the game Eyes of Heaven. Its evolution was triggered by a strike from the same type of Stand, The World Over Heaven. Its ability is to rewrite reality and freeze time for an unknown amount of time. Nothing else is known about its abilities. After Jotaro rewrote reality so that the events of Eyes of Heaven no longer existed, he also lost Star Platinum Over Heaven. Mastery Jotaro's natural combat instincts and flexible thinking make him extremely adept at using his Stand, which is further enhanced by its sheer power. At its most basic, Star Platinum can pierce virtually any obstacle Jotaro encounters, but he can also get creative with his physical superiority, such as stretching Star Platinum's limbs to increase its range or using its lungs to neutralize Justice.

Jotaro is positioned in this story as a role model, leader, or teacher. Koichi and Josuke comment that being around him calms them down about the constant threat posed by new Stand users. As an adult, Jotaro is less reckless than he once was, though he still remains rude and irritated by girls who fuss.

While his aloofness is still present, it has diminished somewhat over the years; when he meets Tomoko Higashikata while searching for Josuke shortly after her father was killed by Anjuro, he tolerates her sudden clinginess when she mistakes him for Joseph and offers some consolation for her father's death. He also admits to Koichi that he was glad to meet him, albeit privately. In Part 6, Jotaro displays his typical serious attitude, but this is also combined with a passionate paternal protectiveness of his daughter Jolyne, even though his past neglect has strained their relationship. Another example of his diminished stoicism is when he tells his daughter that he loves and cherishes her, which motivates Jolyne throughout their adventure.

After being "revived," Anasui, one of Jolyne's companions who is enamored with her, asks Jotaro to approve his marriage proposal. Initially reacting as if he were speaking nonsensically, Jotaro, seeing Jolyne leaning against Anasui's chest, hugged her protectively, leaving Jolyne clueless about their interaction.

During his final fight with Pucci, Jotaro's love for his family got the better of him, and he made the mistake of trying to save Jolyne and kill Pucci, failing in either and resulting in his death.

It remains to be seen whether Jotaro takes himself seriously or simply enjoys the one-liners. However, Jotaro did show at least a modicum of respect for a random enemy Stand user, praising N'Doul for being formidable enough to knock his hat off and commit suicide to help DIO, then listening to his speech of loyalty and finally burying his corpse in the desert. He also noted that Daniel J. D'Arby was dangerous and compared him favorably to Telence, claiming Daniel spotted the obvious trick that fooled Telence. Jotaro is interested in a wide range of subjects, such as sumo wrestling and the Columbo series, from which he claims to have acquired his deductive skills. Several hobbies indicate an intellectual side to him, leading him to become a biologist in Part 4. Ironically, Jotaro is one of the few who can appreciate the atmosphere of Calcutta, which shocks Joseph.

Jotaro also has an unusual, idiosyncratic taste in fashion and an attachment to clothing, from refusing to cut off part of his pants when asked by the school nurse to buying clothes to replace the ones destroyed after his fight with ZZ with exact replicas, as Joseph pointed out. When he first exchanges blows with DIO, he specifically remarks on how the latter punched a hole in his pants, noting their high price. He also has an attachment to his cap.

Jotaro has a habit of muttering to himself to express his annoyance at the trials and other events that happen around him, to the point that it has become one of his catchphrases.

During his journey to Egypt, Jotaro joined his companions and expressed his friendship with them through a few small gestures, including a hug with Polnareff. Signs of his softening temperament have also been shown, with him occasionally (but not often) smiling, such as when the group was making fun of ZZ, and at one point, he even laughs along with Kakyoin and Polnareff while discovering The Sun's weakness. Jotaro also has a soft spot for children, and is noticeably more tolerant and protective of them. When Ann accompanies them on their journey, he never yells at her and even defends her from enemy Stand users, looking out for her like an older brother, despite her being visibly annoyed by his antics. When he takes a popsicle from a young boy, he tells the boy he'll buy him a new one. Jotaro hates people who hurt women or children in fights, even if the woman or child is evil, and will be especially cruel to them; one example of this is his beating of Steely Dan, partially due to him killing Enya and attempting to use the little girl as a hostage when he was nearly defeated. However, Jotaro shows no mercy to evil women and will brutally beat them if necessary, such as when Midler attacked him and he smashed her teeth through her Stand. Furthermore, nagging girls who harass him (both at his school and throughout his journey) irritate Jotaro, who ignores them or rudely brushes them off, especially when they start fussing or bickering. Furthermore, Jotaro is rude, easily insolent towards his mother or any other authority figure. The teenager favors witty remarks, often ridiculing the target of his jokes and offering absurd reasons for their exploits. For example, he took the time to inform DIO that the reason he lost was because the latter "made him angry."

I've beaten the crap out of more people than I should have. Some are still in the hospital. There are plenty of teachers who saw my bad side and never returned to class. And, I don't have to pay if I don't like the food. But even a guy like me can spot evil when he sees it! Jotaro Kujo Kakyoin Jotaro is portrayed as a rude and delinquent character, but he is loyal to those he loves. He is very perceptive, intelligent, and quick-witted, while maintaining a neutral demeanor. Jotaro's most noticeable trait is his seemingly aloof nature. He is a quiet man, often expressing himself in short sentences. Jotaro is an extremely calm person, capable of maintaining composure even in the most dire situations. The best example of his composure was when he played soul poker against Daniel J. D'Arby. During the game, he successfully bluffed without even knowing what cards he had, winning back the souls of every ally involved. Although he may sometimes appear disturbed by the situation, Jotaro almost never goes so far as to lose his cool. Jotaro is both cruel and kind, demonstrating these traits in various scenes, from his fight with N'Doul to his encounter with D'Arby. One striking example is how he spared Noriaki Kakyoin rather than kill him, even risking his own life to save the young man from DIO's deadly servitude. Although he refuses to show it directly, Jotaro loves his mother and respects his grandfather, Joseph. Jotaro's motivation for being sent to Egypt stems from DIO's Stand endangering Holy's life. During his battle with DIO, he became uncharacteristically enraged when the vampire revealed he had desecrated his grandfather's corpse before apologizing to Joseph's spirit (who had previously warned Jotaro not to give in to anger).

Jotaro's outfit underwent a number of significant changes starting in Crusaders, and then changed several more times in Diamond Is Unbreakable itself. Each iteration features his signature combination of a peaked cap and a trench coat. He wears wide-legged trousers, and his cap, coat, and trousers are usually depicted as white.

In his first costume, he wears a trench coat with a turn-down collar and cuffs with the same tessellated pattern as his belts. Underneath the coat is a sweater-like garment over a tailored turtleneck; a belt with a buckle runs diagonally across his chest. On his hat, a metal "J" emblem has been added to the palm of his hand, now surrounded by a heart.

The second costume, first worn during the "Let's Go Hunting" story arc, resembles his school uniform, with the coat collar turned up and a fitted shirt. The emblems on his hat are replaced with a dolphin and a sun, and the coat has a metal emblem of two dolphins forming a heart on his right shoulder and

squares W with the signature palm symbol on the left.

The final outfit is a coat similar in style to the second outfit, but with the tessellated cuffs present in the first. Underneath, Jotaro wears a small, open, lapel-less vest decorated with alternating circles and crosses, over a black turtleneck with a palm tree emblem at the neck. His hat features a row of black Venus symbols (♀) with an arrow below the cross, resembling anchors, as well as another palm tree emblem. His two belts are unadorned, but the lower one has a small pouch attached to it.

Jotaro is canonically a muscular man standing 195 cm tall[1], often described as attractive by other characters.[2] He has black hair that is constantly blended into his cap, a strong jawline, thick eyebrows, and green eyes.[1] He also bears a slight resemblance to his great-great-grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, and his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, in his youth.

Jotaro's outfit changes in every JoJo installment he appears in. His signature look is a peaked cap with a pattern, torn at the back and blending into his hair, and a thigh-length coat with a stand-up collar and chains. His outfit was inspired by

Babel IIW , a famous manga about a boy in a school uniform who has adventures in the desert.[3] Jotaro wears a modified cloak-

gakuran/tsume-eriW with a high, stiff collar, pierced on the left by a gold chain. Underneath this, he wears a fitted, sleeveless T-shirt and a pair of 20,000-yen, skinny trousers,[4] very short, sharply pleated, and belted with two thin belts, often different colors, with a pattern of alternating multicolored tessellated triangles (mirroring Caesar/Joseph's headband). He also wears a pair of leather shoes (presumably) without socks.

Jotaro's iconic cap is adorned with a gold button in the center and a rectangular gold plate with a flattened hand on the left. It's torn at the back, seemingly blending into his hair. While they're initially shown as completely separate but slightly torn, later publications create even more uncertainty about where his hat and hair actually meet. According to Araki in an interview, he wanted readers to recognize Jotaro even from the back, not just from the front.[5]

Araki played around with Jotaro's design until he came up with something that he felt conveyed the right attitude towards rebellion.[6]

JoJo is the main protagonist of the third installment of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders, and the third JoJo in the series. He also appears as a key ally in Diamond is Unbreakable and Stone Ocean, and makes a brief appearance in Vento Aureo. As a result of all his appearances, Jotaro is the most recurring JoJo protagonist in the series. Jotaro is of Japanese descent on his father's side and half-British, half-Italian descent on his mother's side. Jotaro lives an ordinary life until the Joestar family's old nemesis, DIO, returns. After discovering his mother, Holy, has fallen ill (caused by DIO's awakening), Jotaro sets out on a journey across the world with his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, and a group of friends to rescue his mother and defeat the vampire once and for all.

Wielding the all-powerful Star Platinum, Jotaro is the first JoJo to be introduced with a Stand and one of the most well-known characters in the series. He is the ex-husband of an American woman and the father of Jolyne Cujoh, the protagonist of Stone Ocean.
