'''''[[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureJojolion JoJolion]]:''''' '''The Higashikata Family'''\\

* UndyingLoyalty: To Lucy Steel. Joseph wasn't obligated to stay with Lucy and originally accompanied her because he needed money after his wallet was stolen. However, after nearly getting killed by Radio Gaga, Joseph went the extra mile and returned with her to the United States out of concern for Lucy's health.

An esteemed, wealthy family that adopted Josuke as one of their own. Johnny Joestar married into the family after the events of the Steel Ball Run. They've been dealing with a family curse that takes the form of an illness that affects the first born of every generation, slowly turning their body to stone. The only way to treat it is to exchange the curse with someone else, a role assigned to the child's mother.

** At the begining of the story, he was in his right to complain about the fact that his own father gave his room, without askingfirst, to Josuke who was a total stranger at that time.

* AnimeHair: Most of his hair is shaven off in a buzz cut except for three balls and two strands of hair pointing left and right smack dab in the middle of his forehead.

* BirthmarkOfDestiny: He wouldn't be a Joestar without it, as Lucy spotted it during the fight against the Radio Gaga.

** Joseph's version of his Stand isn't augmented with Hamon, unlike his original universe counterpart's Hermit Purple. That said, Joseph was still able to defeat the Radio Gaga creature without it. It can also conduct electricity, but whether it can do divinations is never revealed.

* CoolOldGuy: He's the Higashikata patriarch and a grandfather, but he's relaxed and amicable to Josuke. He also says some of the most [[Funny/JojosBizarreAdventure memorable]] lines in Part 8, such as "Your Stand is like your asshole. You can't go around showing it off to other people."

* HeelFaceTurn: Played with. While more of a general nuisance and UnknownRival to Josuke more than an outright villain, [[spoiler:he saves Yasuho from being killed by Jobin by kicking the phone Paisley Park was inhabiting to an outlet and later brings her the New Locacaca to heal her injuries.]]

** Like the [[Literature/JorgeJoestar novel]] version of his father, he has a bilingual name spelled in the language of where he was raised (Spanish for George II/Jorge, Japanese for Joseph).

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:She outlives her firstborn son, Jobin.]]

** Taken UpToEleven when Mitsuba [[spoiler:beheads him and throws his head off a window in the third floor of the hospital. His Stand ability allows him to survive, but the intention remains.]]

** However, the fans now debate on two different musical references to be the namesake of the Stand. Either Holland K. Smith's album and its title track ''Walking Heart Attack'' or Music/{{Heart}} and Music/SarahMcLachlan's song "Walkin' Good".

Her Stand, Walking Heart (a portmanteau of the band Music/{{Heart}} and their song, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanatic_(album) "Walkin' Good"]]), allows Hato to extend the heels of her feet to sharp points, up to 4 meters with the heels of her shoes stretching alongside them if she's wearing any. She can use them to climb up walls or pierce through glass and stone to attack someone from a distance.

* {{Intangibility}}

* ProgressivelyPrettier: {{Zigzagged}}, as his appearance is... variable, to put it one way. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/6/65/Iwasuke_First_Appearance.png/revision/latest?cb=20190331024542 His initial appearance]] made him look partially like a boar, then later he gets some [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/6/67/Iwasuke_grabs_Rokakaka.png/revision/latest?cb=20190331024545 Iggy-style]] {{Gonk}}, some chapters after that he's [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/e/e5/Iwasuke_hug.png/revision/latest?cb=20190331025738 drawn like a normal-looking dog]], and as of recent [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/4/4f/Iwasuke_is_fine.png/revision/latest?cb=20190811203009 he's back to Gonk]], this time with rat-like traits instead.
* TeamPet

** Unlike Joseph of the original continuity, this version of Joseph Joestar managed to develop his Stand at the age of 17 which was far sooner compared to older Joseph who developed it towards the later years of his life, and that was only thanks to DIO piercing Jonathan's body with the Stand Arrow. Not only that it's more developed to the point it even has a face now, compared to the original Hermit Purple that remained a strand of thorns.
** This version of Joseph is much kinder and less abrasive than the original Joseph was, to the point he acts more like Joseph's son Josuke. Whether it is because he is no longer an only child, raised by a grandma who could only really discipline him with violence, or any other factors was not specified, but the changes are notable. Joseph stands out in his kindness and willingness to help a stranger to the point of leaving his home country to help her as an assistant. It should also be noted that, as far as the ending of ''[=JoJolion=]'' reveals, he did not cheat on his wife in this universe.
** Joseph's version of his Stand isn't augmented with Hamon, unlike his original universe counterpart's Hermit Purple. That said, Joseph was still able to defeat the Radio Gaga creature without it. It can also conduct electricity, but whether it can do divinations has yet to be seen.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Like his original counterpart, Joseph beats the Radio Gaga this way, albeit with some help from his Stand.

* TheReveal: "Fumi" is none other than Johnny Joestar's grandson, and the SBR-verse counterpart to Joseph Joestar, sharing even the same name and Stand.
