**Josuke Higashikata**, born **Yoshikage Kira** and **Josefumi Kujo** is the protagonist of *JoJolion*, and eighth protagonist of the series. He is the first main protagonist in *JoJo* never to be referred to as JoJo.

Josuke was born from the fusion of Yoshikage Kira and Josefumi Kujo after the two of them were fatally injured and ate from the Locacaca Fruit and covered by the soil of the Wall Eyes. Josuke awakens in the Wall Eyes, naked with no memories, and meets Yasuho Hirose. The two of them set out to discover Josuke's true identity. He is adopted into the Higashikata family, who have mysteries of their own, and is dubbed Josuke Higashikata. Josuke, discovering his dual identity as Kira and Kujo, joins forces with Yasuho and Rai to thwart the Rock Humans' quest for the Locacaca fruit and uncover the truth about his mother's illness. Their pursuit leads them to confront the Rock Human leader, Toru, in a fateful battle where Rai and Josuke's sister, Kei Kira, perish. Josuke, unlocking a new Soft & Wet ability, defeats Toru and ultimately rejoins the Higashikata family in celebrating Norisuke's return from the hospital.

Josuke's two halves, Kira and Josefumi, both possessed their own Stands: Killer Queen and Soft & Wet respectively. After fusing together, they became one Soft & Wet, which encompasses the abilities of Josefumi's property stealing bubbles and Kira's explosive bombs. Later, Josuke understands the concepts of Spin, and is able to use a new ability: Soft & Wet: Go Beyond.

## Physical Appearance

Josuke is young and physically fit. He is relatively skinny and wears a sailor outfit. His two eyes are split down the middle, appearing to have one half of both eyes be blue and the other purple.

After taking a sample from the Locacaca 6259 he grows three rocks on the side of his face, one that covered his left eye. One of the rock formations, the one directly covering his eye, is removed after the Rock Creature Obladi Oblada eats it off.

### Occasional Appearances

Before Part 8's release, Josuke was shown for the first time in the issue of Ultra Jump that Steel Ball Run concluded in. In this original appearance he appears to wear a different sort of hat, and has more pins on his outfit reminiscent of Jotaro and Josuke.

In *Soft & Wet, Part 1* Josuke first wears a hospital gown before he finds Yoshikage Kira's sailor outfit.

In *Soft & Wet, Part 4*, Josuke is under the influence of Ojiro's Fun Fun Fun ability, which causes his blood to scab up into symbols on his hands and feet.

In *Family Tree*, Josuke shaves by first putting shaving cream over his chin.

In "*Paisley Park" and "Born This Way", Part 5*, Josuke and his Stand become frozen by Born This Way's freezing wind ability.

In *Walking Heart*, Josuke is melted to the ground by Tamaki Damo's Stand ability.

In *Dolomite's Blue Lagoon, Part 5*, Josuke gets possessed by the Stand Blue Hawaii.

In *Ozon Baby's Pressure, Part 3* Josuke envelopes himself in a soap bubble to evade Poor Tom's Stand attack.

In *The Wonder of You, Part 8*, Josuke is bandaged up without his hat after getting damaged by calamitous rain.

In *The Wonder of You, Part 9* Josuke gains the rock formations under his eyes and on his cheek and is shown ripping apart another hospital gown.

In *The Wonder of You, Part 16*, Josuke is afflicted with asbestos that grows around his face due to the attack of the Rock Animal, Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.

In *Safety First* Josuke is attacked by the Rock Animal Obladi Oblada and appears to be covered in a sort of rock formation.

## Personality Traits

Josuke is brave and noble, and even though he has no memories from before he was born, he still has the same compassion as all of the Joestar's before him.

## Stand

### Soft & Wet

Josuke's main ability, through Soft & Wet's base form, is being able to release soap bubbles from his Stand that can be used in a multitude of ways. Their primary ability, Plunder, allows Josuke to steal the properties of certain objects and store them in the bubbles. For example he can steal the "sight" from someone's eyes, and give it back to them whenever he sees fit.

He can also use Soft & Wet's bubbles to form a sort of shield around him and someone else.

### Soft & Wet: Go Beyond

Later in the story Josuke begins to understand that some of his soap bubbles are formed through "spinning lines" that are spinning so fast that they appear spherical. These bubbles are invisible to the naked eye, as they "do not exist in this world." Josuke is able to use Spin and merge it with these invisible bubbles to shoot them out his fingertips. These invisible bubbles are practically lethal, and can tear through any object and erode it on contact.

Because they do not exist in the same physical plain as everything else, they are also able to bypass Wonder of U's calamity ability.

## Trivia

* Other people refer to him as Jo2uke, Jo8uke, or Gappy (in reference to the gap in his teeth) to avoid confusion with the other Josuke.
* Josuke gets his hat from a store called SbR in Morioh, which itself is a reference to the Steel Ball Run Race, but also inside the story hats from other popular JoJo characters can be found.
* The rock formation around his eye might be a reference to Baoh's (a character from one of Araki's earlier works,) appearance, who has a similar formation around his left eye.
* He is the only protagonist never to be referred to as "JoJo" in any media whatsoever.
