**Josuke Higashikata** is the protagonist of Part 4 of the anime/manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

## Background

Josuke is the 16-year old illegitimate child of Joseph Joestar and Tomoko Higashikata, the hot-tempered daughter of a policeman in Morioh, Japan. When Joseph's grandson Jotaro Kujo arrives in Morioh in the summer of 1999 to inform Josuke of his lineage and and to warn him of the arrival of a dangerous serial killer, Josuke is thrown face-first into a series of bizarre adventures and mysteries in order to protect his hometown.

He's a friendly, clever, and dependable kid, the sort who always tries to do the right thing, even if he doesn't seem to be the heroic type himself. However, he has a weakness for cash, and if you insult his hair, may the Lord above have mercy.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Crazy Diamond:** A short-range Stand similar to Jotaro's Star Platinum, but with the ability of being able to restore anything to it's previous state. It can repair damage, heal injuries, revert chemical changes and complex structures to their raw components (e.g. a table into its constituent timber). It may also fuse objects, such a person with a rock. However, Josuke cannot use this stand on himself. This Stand can deliver blows at a speed faster than light.

## Alternate Forms

### Rage Mode

If someone insults Josuke's hairstyle, he will get extremely furious, negating his senses (including common sense), but making him more powerful and deadly.
