Professor **Jotaro "JoJo" Kujo** is one of the main protagonists of the *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* series. He appeared in the 12th episode of DBX, Jotaro VS Yu, where he fought against Yu Narukami from the *Persona* series.

## History

Jotaro Kujo is the third starring member of the Joestar lineage, predated by the fallen Jonathan Joestar and his grandfather Joseph Joestar. He grew up as a normal young man until the age of seventeen, where he was imprisoned for injuring some street thugs. He had no intention of getting out, with the reason for his line of thought being that he believed that he was possessed by an evil spirit. When he was visited by his grandfather, Joseph, Jotaro learned that he was not haunted or cursed in the slightest, but possessed a power passed down to him called a Stand. Finally leaving the cell, he was informed that Jonathan's ruthless vampire brother, Dio Brando, had returned, now sporting his brother's body. With the aid of his Stand, Star Platinum, Jotaro would put an end to the recently revived Dio and even go on to train other members of the Joestar family, including his uncle and his own daughter, to combat evil whenever it arose.
