“	I'm going to take back the past I lost!	„
	~ Josuke Higashikata

Josuke Higashikata (東方定助, Higashikata Jōsuke^?) is the main protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part VIII: JoJolion. An alternate counterpart of the original character of the same name, Josuke is a young man afflicted by retrograde amnesia and lacking any memories prior to being discovered by Yasuho Hirose near the Wall Eyes in Morioh Town. According to Karera Sakunami, Josuke is the fusion of both Josefumi Kujo (空条仗世文 Kūjō Josefumi) and Yoshikage Kira (吉良・ジョースター・吉影 Kira Jōsutā Yoshikage).

Appearance[]

Josuke is a young, handsome and physically fit man of above-average height.

He wears a tasseled "Dixie cup" sailor cap (in multiple illustrations, it is adorned with the same palm as Jotaro Kujo's hat). He wears a sailor suit, cut with a wide neck and above the navel, a neckerchief with a button resembling a slotted screw head, large emblems of an anchor on his right side and a compass rose on his left, fitted pants with a belt, and a pair of high-top athletic shoes.

Josuke has a diastema between his upper incisors, a star-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder. He has two sets of irises, four testicles and two tongues, all joined as one, differing in texture and color.

Yasuho mentions he resembles her dog, Josuke.

Trivia[]

In order to differentiate him from the original Josuke Higashikata from the main continuity, Josuke has been given many nicknames, officially or otherwise. In the English-speaking side of the fandom, he's oftentimes nicknamed "Gappy" as a reference to his gaped teeth. In his videogame appearances, he's referred in-game as "Josuke Higashikata 8", while the original is called "Josuke Higashikata 4", while in the story mode for Eyes of Heaven, he's referred to as "Hat Josuke" by the other characters.
