Jotaro Kujo

is one of the titular main protagonists in the franchise. 
Originally a Japanese delinquent, Jotaro is a member of the Joestar family and the third Joestar to carry the "JoJo" moniker. He would famously embark on a journey to save his dying mother and kill the Joestar family's archenemy, Dio Brando. Afterwards, Jotaro would become a marine biologist and frequently make reappearances in the series, serving as a mentor to other Joestars such as Josuke Higashikata. Jotaro wields the stand known as Star Platinum, a stand similar to that of Dio's The World which allows him to stop time. He's also the son of Holy Kujo, the grandson of Joseph Joestar and the father of Jolyne Cujoh. 
As of the Old Universe Jotaro Is Dead but the new universe Jotaro Is Likely Revived

==Appearance==
Jotaro is a tall, handsome, and well-built man. He has short, black hair, a strong jaw, bold eyebrows, and light eyes. He also bears a mild resemblance to his great-great grandfather Jonathan Joestar and his grandfather Joseph Joestar when he was a young man.
The superficial theme of Jotaro's attire changes in each successive part. His trademarks are a visored, ornamented cap, torn at the back and blending with his hair, and a roughly mid-calf-length coat with a standing collar.
==Personality==
Jotaro has a tough exterior, introduced as a rather rough delinquent. In truth however, he is dedicated, fair, and loyal. He is highly perceptive, intelligent and quick-witted, while keeping a perpetually cool, slightly neutral or disinterested attitude.
Two of his schoolmates and the school nurse affirm that it seems impossible to best him in a fight. After gaining Star Platinum, this trait easily carries over to his encounters with new Stand users. The only exception being Enrico Pucci, who was the only one who could kill him after gaining his most powerful stand Made in Heaven.
Jotaro loves his mother and respects his grandfather, although he may not be overt about it. It is not that he is unaware of his own love and/or respect - rather, he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time.
Jotaro is both fierce and gentle, and he shows these traits in various scenes, from his fight with N'Doul to the encounters with the D'Arby brothers. One shining example is how he spared Noriaki Kakyoin, instead of destroying him outright, even putting his own life in the line just to save Kakyoin from DIO's deadly slavery.
Jotaro is occasionally chased by adoring girls, including his classmates; whom he ignores or drives away; particularly when they begin to fuss or bicker.
He is DIO's main target, who acknowledges that Jotaro is his greatest threat. Apparently key to Jotaro's perceived chance of success in his final battle with Dio is the extent to which DIO is able to anger him.
==Powers and Abilities==
One of the strongest Stands in the series beside the other protagonists, Star Platinum possesses incredible senses, immense strength, stamina, accuracy and speed. Like other physically powerful (or Close-Range) Stands, Star Platinum suffers from a narrow range of activity; active only within a 2-3 meter radius from Jotaro. 
It is similar to Dio Brando's The World, and, as it turns out, can likewise be used to stop time; an ability revealed at the very end of his fight with Dio. The Tarot card The Star, after which it is named, symbolizes hope above all.
Star Platinum: The World is the evolved version of Star Platinum which first appears near the end of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders during the climactic battle against DIO and is the highest form to which Jotaro is shown to develop his Stand. Star Platinum: The World can stop time for as long as five seconds. It is stated that it can freeze time for longer, but five seconds is the limit for human endurance under stopped time.
==Trivia==
*Jotaro's name comes from a samurai family of the Kamakura shogunate called the "Hōjō clan".
*Due to being the most recurring JoJo and having a major role or importance in every story he appears in, Jotaro is effectively the protagonist of the entire series.
*Jotaro is also the first JoJo in the series to be a Stand user.
