Josuke Higashikata (Japanese: 東方 仗助) is a boy of half Japanese descent on his mother's side and half British descent on his father's side. He is 16 years old and was born in May 1983. He attends Budogaoka High School in Morioh. His best friends are Okuyasu Nijimura and Koichi Hirose. His stand, Crazy Diamond, has the ability to repair objects and regenerate organic matter.

Josuke is a 180cm tall young man, wearing a small earring in each ear. The most important quality to him is his well-maintained pompadour haircut; styled after an unknown man who saved his life when he was a child.

He wears a modified dark Japanese gakuran school uniform. His jacket is tight to his body, extending to mid-thigh, accompanied by a pair of wide-legged pants. He keeps his jacket unbuttoned and pushed aside at the sides, revealing a light (yellow in the anime) undershirt with a short zipper on each side of his chest. He sports two gold brooches on the left and right of his chest. On the left of his uniform collar is a modified anchor, and on the right is a row of two small hearts. Resting his open jacket against his chest on the right is a peace symbol (☮), and on the left is a heart. He wears a gold band on both wrists, above his sleeves.

Josuke is quick-witted, confident, and brave, possessing considerable fluid intelligence and a will to win; just like his father. He is an experienced, confident, and brave teenager. Friendly and loyal, his friendly personality helps him make friends throughout the story. His main trait is his kindness. Overall, he behaves like a teenager who just wants to hang out, and aside from his overall goal of protecting Morioh from any Stand threats, he is very prone to openly communicating his feelings, whether it be expressing shock, joy, fear, or anger, thus coming across as a zany individual.
