**Joseph Joestar** is the main protagonist of *Battle Tendency*, the deuteragonist of *Stardust Crusaders*, as well as a secondary character in *Diamond is Unbreakable*. He is the second protagonist of the series, and the second to take on the nickname "JoJo."

Joseph was born with the ability to use Hamon, which he inherited from his grandfather Jonathan and his mother Lisa Lisa, and uses these abilities in order to defeat the Pillar Men in 1938. He is trained by his coach Lisa Lisa, and together with Caesar Zeppeli, the three of them stop the Pillar Men from retrieving the Red Stone of Aja and becoming the Ultimate Life Forms.

50 years later Joseph awakens the Stand Hermit Purple after DIO awakens his own. He meets with Mohammad Avdol, and the two of them track down Joseph's grandson Jotaro, who also awakened a Stand. The three of them, also accompanied by Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polnareff, and Iggy, travel the world in search of DIO to defeat him and end the curse he has placed on Joseph's daughter Holly.

Sometime during his travels he has an affair with a certain Tomoko Higashikata, who gives birth to his bastard son Josuke Higashikata. In 1999, when Josuke is 16, Joseph visits his hometown of Morioh Japan where him and his son discover an invisible baby, whom Joseph later adopts and names Shizuka Joestar.

He is the son of George Joestar II, and is the father of his only daughter, Holy Kujo.

## Trivia

* He is the last main protagonist to be referred to as "JoJo" for the entirety of the part he is in.
	+ Jotaro is referred to as JoJo but only in the first ten or so episodes.
* As of late, Araki has drawn Joseph wearing a pilots hat, in order to differentiate him from Jonathan, who he draws wearing a diamond patterned headband... It's ironic because Joseph is the one usually depicted with a headband.
