Jojo Betzler

Johannes "Jojo Rabbit" Betzler is the titular protagonist of the 2019 black comedy film Jojo Rabbit. A jingoistic member of the Hitlerjugend, Jojo is enthusiastic at the idea of becoming a Nazi in the later days of World War II, much to the dismay of his mother Rosie and to the delight of his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler, a caricature of the dictator Jojo looks up to.

When Jojo learns that Rosie is hiding a Jewish refugee named Elsa Korr in their attic, he is at first distraught because he feels that Elsa's presence threatens his worldview. He realizes through getting to know Elsa and his mother's execution by the Nazis that the racist bigotry he was indoctrinated into is dangerous and that Rosie was right to criticize his hawkish personality. By the film's conclusion, Jojo abandons his Nazi beliefs and kicks his imaginary "friend" out the window of his room before starting a dance with Elsa, who he has now befriended.

Jojo was portrayed by Roman Griffin Davis in his debut as an actor.
