**Jotaro Kujo** is the main protagonist of *Stardust Crusaders*, a major protagonist in *Diamond is Unbreakable*, a minor character in *Golden Wind*, and a key character in *Stone Ocean*. He is the third protagonist of the series, as well as the third to be referred to as JoJo.

Jotaro is half Japanese half British, being the son of Holy Kujo, a brit, and Sadao Kujo, a Japanese man. When he was 17 years old, he developed a Stand ability as a result of DIO awakening his own. Because of this curse DIO placed on his family, his mother Holy becomes ill, and Jotaro joins his grandfather Joseph Joestar, Mohammad Avdol, Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polnareff, and Iggy in a quest across the globe in able to defeat DIO. Their mission is a success, and Jotaro's mother is saved.

10 years later, Jotaro meets with Josuke Higashikata, Joseph Joestar's bastard son, in order to inform 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.

22 years later, in *Stone Ocean*, Jotaro's daughter Jolyne is put in jail for a crime she did not commit. Jotaro enters the prison in order to break her out, but he is ambushed by Enrico Pucci, who steals his memories and Stand, and sends him into a coma-like state. Eventually he is restored, and joins his daughter and her allies in an attempt to defeat Pucci, however he is ultimately killed in battle.

Following the universe being rebooted, Jotaro lives on in this new world, free from the influence of Pucci, now in a healthy relationship with his daughter Irene.

He is the only son of his mother Holy Kujo, and fathers his daughter Jolyne Cujoh.

Jotaro wields the powerful Stand Star Platinum, which allows him to throw punches at incredible speeds, as well as being able to stop time momentarily.
