**Josuke Higashikata** is the main protagonist of *Diamond is Unbreakable* and *Crazy Heartbreakers*. He is the fourth protagonist of the series, and fourth to be referred to as JoJo.

Josuke is a student that lives in Morioh, Japan. In 1999 he meets Jotaro Kujo, who informs him of a dark presence that makes its home in his small town of Morioh. Jotaro accompanies Josuke, as well as his friends Okuyasu Nijimura, Koichi Hirose, and Rohan Kishibe, in unlocking the mysteries of the town, and ultimately defeating the serial-killer Yoshikage Kira.

Josuke wields the Stand Crazy Diamond, which allows him to throw punches at immense speeds, and has the unique ability to restore objects to a previous state.

Josuke is a tall and slim 16-year-old boy. He wears his hair in a pompadour, which he is extremely proud of. He has a purple school uniform that he wears with the buttons open in the middle revealing his yellow undershirt. His uniform is stylized with pins of hearts, peace signs, and anchors.
