**Josuke Higashikata** is the protagonist of Part 8 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a manga series by Hirohiko Araki.

## Background

In the year 2011, shortly after the devastating Tohoku Earthquake, an amnesiac man was discovered half buried near Morioh Town's Wall Eyes. Yasuho Hirose, the girl who found this character, tried to investigate who he was, but with no results. The man and Yasuho became fast friends, and she gave him the placeholder name of Josuke.

Initially, some clues lead them to the name 'Yoshikage Kira', but this theory was debunked after interrogating a Stand User that had attacked Josuke. However, after further investigation, they found out that Josuke was the fusion of Yoshikage Kira with another person, who was later found out to be Josefumi Kujo. This fusion was caused by the Rokakaka fruit's law of equivalent exchange, as it was used on the dying Yoshikage Kira to heal his wounds, with Josefumi giving up his body in exchange.

Although Josuke has no memory of Josefumi Kujo's objectives, he knows that he has to help Holly Kira, Yoshikage's mother, by finding the Rokakaka fruit. To do this, he's being helped by Yasuho and the Higashikata family, who allow him to live in their house.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Skilled Combat Stretegist:** Although Josuke isn't exactly book smart, he is very creative when it comes to making up combat strategies that utilize his Stand's potential to the fullest. He's also capable of finding out an enemy's weaknesses with simple experimentation.
* **Stand - Soft & Wet:** Josuke's Stand is a combination of Josefumi and Kira's. It is a close-ranged Stand with the ability of **Plunder**: to produce special bubbles from Josuke's birthmark that can steal properties. This includes human senses, the air in one's lungs, the friction of the floor, sounds. Note that it is not like the ability of storing and releasing, it is about literally taking the properties away temporarily. Speaking of that, it also has the ability to seemlingly store objects inside like hair or cat fur and release it out. This ability is shown after the memories of how to use the stand is damaged. It also has a third ability: **Explosion Bubbles**. He can create bubbles which explode on contact.
* **Evolved Stand- Soft & Wet Go Beyond:** This Stand is an evolved version of S&W after Josuke's stand is fused with **Kira Yoshikage's** stand **Killer Queen**. His bubbles just lines that spins rapidly that it spins close to infinity, seemingly not exist, with only the explosive spin (explosive bubbles) existing. It's bubbles can now even bypass any barrier or concept such as the flow of calamity and transcend logic due to it's **'non-existence'**. It can also deactivate the explosive spin to phase through anything.
