Joseph Joestar

Joseph Joestar, also known as JoJo, Papa, Old Man, Mr. Joestar and Geezer, is one of the main protagonists from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.
== Charactah Account ==
The grandson of Jonathan, grandfather of Joutarou, father of Jousuke, and the second person to have the nickname JoJo. An unscrupulous fighter who uses any means necessary to defeat his opponent. During the course of Battle Tendency, he travels the world to keep the vicious Pillar Men from obtaining the Red Stone of Aja and attaining a level of immortality that would render them absolutely invincible.
Joseph is a playful man and prefers fooling around over having any responsibility. By his own admission, his most hated sentences are "hard work" and "work hard", and still had to be pushed to train his Ripple talent in spite of facing certain death if he didn't meet and fight Wamuu again. Joseph has a fairly goofy side and spends half of his fights enjoying having outsmarted his current enemy with incredibly zany schemes, which take his opponents by surprise by how silly his plans are at first sight. A show-off, Joseph likes being the center of attention and couldn't stand that his rival Caesar had a special technique. With his prestidigitation talent, Joseph mixed his boastful nature and his love of pranks into a dangerous tool in battle.

== Trivia ==
* As an Englishman, he is famous for often saying various phrases in English. His catchphrases include "OH! NO!" (Used both in Part 2 and Part 3) and "Oh! My! God!" (used in Part 3 and Part 4) as a few examples.
* In part 3, Joseph is mistakenly called American by some characters, despite being British. This is due to the fact that Joseph was traveling through countries in Asia, and it is common that most people who do not speak English (except for some few travelers, businessmen and politicians) do not know the accent differences of the different dialects of the English language.
* A running gag in Part 3 has Joseph lose parts of his prosthetic hand, or even the hand itself, when enemies attack him, but later appearing with it intact without any definite explanation.
* Joseph is a name of Hebrew origin (the original version of the name is Yosef) that can mean "He will add", "Taken away" or "Praise, Fame taken away". The name can be translitered in katakana as "Josefu".
* Joseph has survived four plane crashes (two in Part 2 and two in Part 3); this was brought up twice throughout Part 3.
* Joseph is the only person to be able to use both Ripple and have a Stand of his own.
* According to Straizo, non-organic objects can only conduct Ripple if the user is touching them. Despite this, Joseph managed to maintain non-organic objects imbued with Ripple after they left his hands on two separate occasions: during his initial fight with Wamuu, with his clackers, and during his final fight with Wamuu, with the metal ball ammunition for his crossbow.
* Joseph, out of all the JoJos, had lived the longest life to date.
** Araki said once that he thinks Joseph is "a little dumber but still alive" when Part 6 takes place, bringing his oldest confirmed age to ~91.
