* HeelFaceTurn
* OlderThanTheyLook: After being defeated by Josuke and befriending Koichi, Hazamada suddenly looks quite a bit younger than before, partly because he suddenly looks a lot shorter. On the other hand, Koichi ''is'' the primary point of view, so this may be an indication of Hazamada no longer being a threat to him. The same thing happened with Tamami.
* PeoplePuppets: Surface uses an interesting version of this. Once it begins mimicking a person, it can actually control their actions so long as it maintains eye contact. Specifically, whenever it makes a motion while doing so, the one mimicked will wind up doing the same motion, albeit with the other side of their body, as though they were Surface's mirror reflection.
-----
* BerserkButton: Kitchen hygiene is something that Antonio takes very, ''very'' seriously. He does not take ignorance of said hygiene well, as Josuke found out.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Subverted. It looks like he's flying into a rage when Josuke and Okuyasu see his KickTheDog moment. Turns out he was just pissed that they didn't come in with the proper hygiene.
* KickTheDog: Shockingly subverted, considering this series's track record for the trope. Josuke and Okuyasu witness Antonio feeding some of his food to a sickly dog, and witness said dog [[BodyHorror puke up his intestines]]. Turns out, though (As Okuyasu finds out the hard way), that it's just Pearl Jam's way of curing people, as they need to expel the damaged body parts. The dog turns out to be perfectly fine and better than before.
* MundaneUtility: Pearl Jam was awakened by his resolve to perfect his culinary arts, and its ability reflects that--it quickens the body's digestion and utilization of food to repair any diseases the eater is suffering from.
! Shizuka Joestar (Stand: Achtung Baby)

* {{Invisibility}}
* ShoutOut: The "disguise" that Joseph and Josuke gives her might be a reference to ''{{Literature/The Invisible Man}}''.
! Shigekiyo "Shigechi (Fatty)" Yanguu (Stand: Harvest)
* [[spoiler: AnyoneCanDie]]
* FatBastard: While he is one of the good guys, Shigechi is also greedy, quick to blame his friends when something goes wrong and has a tendency to go back on his word. Justified in that he hasn't exactly been treated nicely in the past.
* {{Gonk}}
* [[spoiler:HeKnowsTooMuch]]
! Aya Tsuji (Stand: Cinderella)
* [[spoiler: [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Bridge On Her]] (She gets detonated by Kira so she can't reveal how she altered his features, ''and'' so they won't revert. Notice that detonation occurs ''very'' shortly after the heroes find her after Kira's escape from her shop.)]]
* [[spoiler: [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]] ]]
* MundaneUtility: When Cinderella alters a woman's features, it also amplifies her luck while the features are in effect. This includes gaining Mr. Right.
! Mikitaka (Stand: Earth, Wind, and Fire)
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He claims to be an alien, but it's never confirmed.
* {{CloudCuckooLander}}: Even if he really ''is'' an alien.
* TheMasquerade: He claims that he is maintaining this in front of his mother.
* PointyEars
! Yuuya Fungami (Stand: Highway Star)
* HeelFaceTurn: Although he was actually compelled to help by Josuke in order to deal with Enigma.

[[quoteright:221:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kira_121.jpeg]]

* [[spoiler:GhostAmnesia: In ''Dead Man's Question''. He can remember his name, but nothing else.]]
* [[spoiler: GroundhogDayLoop: When his father's Arrow cuts him, he gains the ability "Bite the Dust" which allows him to create brief versions of this. He can even control whether or not they elapse...and even if they DON'T repeat, whomever he killed to start one ''will'' die anyway. - as long as he doesn't retract his Stand beforehand... ]]
* HavingABlast
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Keep in mind that his definition of "normal" is "live without anything obstructing his rituals". He wants his life to be predictable...by him and Yoshihiro, at least.
* MeaningfulName: He's a serial killer named "Kira," predating ''Manga/DeathNote''. Maybe this is part of why Light was unimpressed with his fans' nickname for him--unoriginal.
* {{No Celebrities Were Harmed}}: Of David Bowie.
* [[spoiler:NiceHat: Sports a bowler hat in ''Dead Man's Question''.]]
* SerialKiller
* ShoutOut: In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney'' there's an attack called Bites the Dust that gives characters the Bomb status, which instanly KO's them if hit by a second physical attack.
* StuffBlowingUp: Killer Queen has the ability to imbue things with explosive energy. Whenever someone touches the imbued thing...'''BOOM'''. Not the object, by the way, but ''the person''.
! Angelo Katajiri (Stand: Aqua Necklace)
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Angelo's fate after Josuke ''melds him into a boulder.'' Although it's probably more a scream of fury than a scream of agony that's building up in him.]]
* MakingASplash: Aqua Necklace's power is a lot like Geb's. The main difference is that while Aqua Necklace can't control as much fluid as Geb could at a time, it's a lot more precise, and can even control water vapor.
** Eh? He passed that ''long'' beforehand. Look at the kidnapping scheme that put him on death row.
! Keicho Nijimura (Stand: Bad Company)
* AntiVillain: He's really only awakening Stand Users because he's trying to find someone who can [[spoiler: put his [[BodyHorror hideously-mutated-by-Dio's-death]] father out of his misery.]]
* [[spoiler: DroppedABridgeOnHim: Keicho was actually doing pretty well even after Josuke defeated him. Then Red Hot Chili Pepper drags him and his Arrow through a power line. This happens to leave the carried things intact, but still kills living things in the process.]]

! Josuke Higashikata (Stand: Crazy Diamond)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Josuke_9742.jpg
->Voiced by: WataruHatano (''All-Star Battle'')
Son of Joseph Joestar. Josuke is known for his unique hairstyle and fierce temper regarding said hair. His adventures started when Jotaro tracked him down and informed him that he was Joseph's son and warned him about the deadly Stand user Angelo, who killed his grandfather shortly after the start of the story. Following that, he was pulled into the search for the serial killer that threatened Morioh-cho.
Note that going with the ThemeNaming of [=JoJo=], the second kanji in his first name, can also be read as "jo," as well as that his proper name would be Josuke Joestar.
-----
* AndIMustScream: Usually what he does to enemies he ''doesn't'' befriend.
* AnimeHair: His epic pompadour.
* BerserkButton: Never make fun of his hair, unless you want your face to literally be rearranged.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He will not, under any circumstance, kill you. But he will hurt you ''a lot'' if you piss him off.
* ButNotTooForeign: He's half Japanese and half British-American.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Not for him, but [[spoiler: when he finally defeated Angelo, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome he used Crazy Diamond to fuse him with a rock, and then he slapped a sign on him that read: "Please leave your doggy's waste in front of the rock".]] ]]
** It also might an example of CruelMercy and / or IronicHell, because [[spoiler: Angelo really hated doggy waste!]]
** There was also the time he [[spoiler: printed the Enigma guy into paper...]]
* CombatMedic: His Stand, Crazy Diamond, is almost on par with Jotaro's Star Platinum when it comes to melee combat; and it's also one of the rare instances where the healing power itself doubles as an offensive measure.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: To a ridiculous extent. Almost everyone he faces ends up becoming his ally.
* HeroicBastard: Joseph's illegitimate son. Joseph was sixty-five at the time, meaning Josuke is actually ''younger'' than his nephew, Jotaro.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Crazy Diamond is capable of restoring almost anything, including living beings, to their original state. This eventually gets used for healing some [[MadeOfPlasticine seriously messy injuries]]. However, he cannot heal himself with this power.
* GreenLanternRing: His ingenuity allows him to use his power to repair (and rearrange) things on a lot of creative manners.
* HonorBeforeReason: Good heart be blamed, as he took this trait to absurd levels! And it back-fired on him on a pair of occasions, [[spoiler:but his good LaserGuidedKarma always triggered on those moments.]]
* JapaneseDelinquents: A funny subversion: He looks like one thanks to his [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack perpetual uniform]] and his characteristic pompadour, but personality-wise is almost the opposite, provided said pompadour is [[BerserkButton not even remotely insulted.]]
* {{Kiai}}: DORARARARARARARA!!!
* PersonalityPowers: As Jotaro discovered, the nature of Josuke's stand is a reflection of his good heart and desire to help those around him.
* ThouShallNotKill: Notable for being the only [=JoJo=] that doesn't kill a single person. He even went to great lengths to save the life of some of his foes.
** He ''will'' mess you up, though.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Turtles?]]: Averted. He is first seen confronting his fear by trying to touch a turtle; this is the only time he ever encounters one, it poses no obstacle to him whatsoever, and he even heals it after its shell gets shattered by some local thugs. Not that this stops him from getting spooked again by it shortly after.
** InformedFlaw: ...Good for him no villain tried to exploit this weak-point, despite the Enigma battle being a perfect opportunity to do so.
* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Grandfather]]: He eventually gets to punish Angelo for he did.
* ZanyScheme: He managed pull a couple of ingenious and successful money-making-ploys... [[HilarityEnsues but not without incidents.]]

See [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventurePart3 part 3]]
! Koichi Hirose (Stand: Echoes [[spoiler: Act 1/Echoes Act 2/Echoes Act 3]])
* HowDoIShotWeb
* OlderThanTheyLook: His height's probably to blame.
* SirSwearsALot: [[spoiler: Echoes Act 3]] is very foul-mouthed, even in the Japanese original.
* TookALevelInBadass: Several times, actually. The first time he did, his Stand was created, the other times his Stand leveled up with him. Ends with his CrowningMomentOfAwesome: "Your stupidity has exposed you! I will wait for you in the other world!"
* UnsoundEffect: Echoes's first ability.
! Okuyasu Nijimura (Stand: The Hand)
-> Voiced by: WataruTakagi (''Jojo Exhibition'' commercial)
-----
* TheBigGuy: The Hand is pure strength in Stand form, basically.
* ButtMonkey: Like Polneraff and Narancia, he is usually the first person to get subjected to the enemy's Stand.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Expect to see this a ''lot'' where Josuke is concerned.
! Antonio Trussardi (Stand: Pearl Jam)
* BerserkButton: Kitchen hygiene is something that Antonio takes very, ''very'' seriously. He does not take ignorance of said hygiene well, as Josuke found out.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Subverted. It looks like he's flying into a rage when Josuke and Okuyasu see his KickTheDog moment. Turns out he was just pissed that they didn't come in with the proper hygiene.
* KickTheDog: Shockingly subverted, considering this series's track record for the trope. Josuke and Okuyasu witness Antonio feeding some of his food to a sickly dog, and witness said dog [[BodyHorror puke up his intestines]]. Turns out, though (As Okuyasu finds out the hard way), that it's just Pearl Jam's way of curing people, as they need to expel the damaged body parts. The dog turns out to be perfectly fine and better than before.
* MundaneUtility: Pearl Jam was awakened by his resolve to perfect his culinary arts, and its ability reflects that--it quickens the body's digestion and utilization of food to repair any diseases the eater is suffering from.
! Shizuka Joestar (Stand: Achtung Baby)
* {{Invisibility}}
* ShoutOut: The "disguise" that Joseph and Josuke gives her might be a reference to ''{{Literature/The Invisible Man}}''.
! Rohan Kishibe (Stand: Heaven's Door)
* AuthorAvatar: Subverted. Although he shares a lot of traits in common with Araki, Araki has mentioned in interviews that his personality is nothing like Rohan's despite the superficial similarities. For one thing, although Araki likes Josuke, Rohan can't stand him.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a very capable mangaka, but he has a lot of quirks.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Initially, he's portrayed as being reclusive, extremely rude, and possibly even mentally unstable. As time went on, those traits got toned down considerably to where he seemed more eccentric than anything else. He almost seems like a different character in the one-shots compared to how he seemed at his first appearance.
* ADayInTheLimelight: To date there are five oneshots starring him. He's sometimes considered a "bonus" protagonist.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Only partially, though. Rohan gets along very well with Hazamada and Koichi, but not Josuke. He was defeated by the latter, mind you.
* [[GodModers God Mode]]: His stand amounts to this, especially once it becomes clear that he can even use it on himself. He can make it impossible for others to attack him and if he had just a little more motivation, he could have been one of the most fearsome characters in the series with it.
* [[HauntedHeroine Haunted Hero]]: From the manga to the one-shots, every story about Rohan involves him encountering ghosts.
* ItsPersonal: He's even more motivated to bring down Kira when he learns that one of Kira's victims once baby-sat him at her home, on the night Kira chose ''her'' as his newest [[ALoveToDismember "girlfriend" donor]]. She [[HeroicSacrifice neglected her own safety so she could ensure that Rohan would not be killed as well]]. Suffice to say that Rohan becomes determined to repay her sacrifice.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* MadArtist
* MeaningfulName: In Rohan au Louvre, he explains that his parents combined the characters for "tied to" and "the ephemeral" to give him the name "Rohan". This explains why he seems to always attract wandering spirits.
* OneLiner: "However, I refuse."
* RewritingReality: His stand, Heaven's Door, has the ability to alter a target's thoughts, memories, and even their physical space. As of Rohan au Louvre, he can even use the ability on himself.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He bought a few mountains in order to stop construction so he could proceed with research for his manga in an undisturbed environment. He went bankrupt in the process, but money is never an object to him anyway.
* {{Shonen}}: Apparently Rohan's editors believed that he needed more [[BuxomIsBetter large-breasted female characters]] for his manga to be successful. It seems that his manga, Pink Dark Boy, is an action story full of young men and was able to become [[AuthorAvatar a massive hit]] [[JoJosBizarreAdventure even without the addition of more female characters.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A
* WriteWhatYouKnow: Like Araki, believes in researching reality to improve his stories. ''Maybe'' unlike Araki, he does some extreme things for that purpose. Early on he tortures a spider to see how it reacts to pain, then kills and ''tastes'' it.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Being able to literally read people like books comes in handy for when he needs inspiration for new characters...
! Reimi Sugimoto
* BigFriendlyDog: Her ghostly sidekick, Anthony.
* CuteGhostGirl
* MeaningfulName: Aside from the ShoutOut below, "Rei" also means "spirit".
* OurGhostsAreDifferent
* ShoutOut: She and her dog Arnold are named after two Syd Barrett-era PinkFloyd singles, ''See Emily Play'' and ''Arnold Layne''.
! Shigekiyo "Shigechi (Fatty)" Yanguu (Stand: Harvest)
* [[spoiler: AnyoneCanDie]]
* FatBastard: While he is one of the good guys, Shigechi is also greedy, quick to blame his friends when something goes wrong and has a tendency to go back on his word. Justified in that he hasn't exactly been treated nicely in the past.
* {{Gonk}}
* [[spoiler:HeKnowsTooMuch]]
! Aya Tsuji (Stand: Cinderella)
* [[spoiler: [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Bridge On Her]] (She gets detonated by Kira so she can't reveal how she altered his features, ''and'' so they won't revert. Notice that detonation occurs ''very'' shortly after the heroes find her after Kira's escape from her shop.)]]
* [[spoiler: [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]] ]]
* MundaneUtility: When Cinderella alters a woman's features, it also amplifies her luck while the features are in effect. This includes gaining Mr. Right.
! Mikitaka (Stand: Earth, Wind, and Fire)
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He claims to be an alien, but it's never confirmed.
* {{CloudCuckooLander}}: Even if he really ''is'' an alien.
* PointyEars
! Hayato Kawajiri
* BadassNormal: No stand power. In elementary school. Catches onto the villain first, escapes his elaborate trap, and throws himself in harm's way in a determined attempt to make sure Kira gets what he deserves. He more than qualifies.
* PapaWolf: Ironic in that, being just a child, he's willing to die, and kill, to protect his mother from [[spoiler: Kira, in the guise of his father.]]
! Yuuya Fungami (Stand: Highway Star)
* HeelFaceTurn: Although he was actually compelled to help by Josuke in order to deal with Enigma.

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Angelo's fate after Josuke ''melds him into a boulder.'' Although it's probably more a scream of fury than a scream of agony that's building up in him.]]
* MakingASplash: Aqua Necklace's power is a lot like Geb's. The main difference is that while Aqua Necklace can't control as much fluid as Geb could at a time, it's a lot more precise, and can even control water vapor.
** Eh? He passed that ''long'' beforehand. Look at the kidnapping scheme that put him on death row.
! Keicho Nijimura (Stand: Bad Company)
* AntiVillain: He's really only awakening Stand Users because he's trying to find someone who can [[spoiler: put his [[BodyHorror hideously-mutated-by-Dio's-death]] father out of his misery.]]
* [[spoiler: DroppedABridgeOnHim: Keicho was actually doing pretty well even after Josuke defeated him. Then Red Hot Chili Pepper drags him and his Arrow through a power line. This happens to leave the carried things intact, but still kills living things in the process.]]
! Tamami Kobayashi (Stand: The Lock)
* DefeatMeansFriendship
* DrivenToSuicide: If The Lock becomes heavy enough, its victim ''will'' become so guilt-addled, they'll think suicide the only proper thing to do.
* HeelFaceTurn
! Toshikazu Hazamada (Stand: Surface)
* DefeatMeansFriendship
* HeelFaceTurn
* OlderThanTheyLook: After being defeated by Josuke and befriending Koichi, Hazamada suddenly looks quite a bit younger than before, partly because he suddenly looks a lot shorter. On the other hand, Koichi ''is'' the primary point of view, so this may be an indication of Hazamada no longer being a threat to him. The same thing happened with Tamami.
* PeoplePuppets: Surface uses an interesting version of this. Once it begins mimicking a person, it can actually control their actions so long as it maintains eye contact. Specifically, whenever it makes a motion while doing so, the one mimicked will wind up doing the same motion, albeit with the other side of their body, as though they were Surface's mirror reflection.
! Yukako Yamagishi (Stand: Love Deluxe)
* DefeatMeansFriendship
* PrehensileHair
* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Koichi, although after he successfully defeats her, she greatly tones down her aggression.
* {{Yandere}}: Until Echoes defeats her, anyway.
! Akira Otoishi (Stand: Red Hot Chili Peppers)
* ShockAndAwe: We're talking about a Stand that can manipulate ''the entire power grid of Moriou.''
! Bug Ear (Stand: Ratt)
* BodyHorror Prepare to shudder when you see what happens to living things hit with Ratt's barbs...
! Yoshihiro Kira (Stand: Atom Heart Father)
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Think Atom Heart Father sounds weak? He came within inches of killing both Jotaro and Josuke. It's because any person in a photo with him in it is bound by the area that the photo covers, and whatever Yoshihiro does to the people in the image will happen to the actual people, without any way to stop it. The only way to defeat this is to [[spoiler: take another photograph that makes him the only feature]].
* TheDragon: To his son, Yoshikage.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The only reason he's sticking around is because his Stand binds his soul to photographs.
* PapaWolf
* RealityChangingMiniature
! Ken Ooyanagi (Stand: Boy II Man)
* RockPaperScissors: Yes, Boy II Man uses that as its modus operandi. He can compel someone to play a 3-of-5 match with him. That's it...until he wins. If he ever gets to finish a match and win, ''he'll permanently hijack the loser's Stand''.
! Erba Gatta (Stand: Stray Cat)
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Of the sort that afflicts most cats — Kira is able to distract him by giving him golf-balls to play with.
* BlowYouAway
* CatsAreMagic: Though could be considered a subversion, since at this point in the series, there'd already been a magical orangutan, a magical dog, and a magical falcon.
* FluffyTheTerrible: He's a flower with the mind of a cat. ''He almost killed [[BigBad Kira.]]''
* KillerRabbit
* NotSoHarmless: He's just a plant with a cat's mind! How dangerous could he be? Answer: '''''Very'''''. And that's before Kira [[spoiler: realises that he can use him to make air bombs...]]
* {{Planimal}}
* [[WhenTreesAttack When Flowers Attack]]
! Toyohiro Kanedaichi (Stand: Superfly)
* NotGoodWithPeople
! Terunosuke Miyamoto (Stand: Enigma)
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Josuke actually binds him into a ''spiral-bound book'' in order to put an end to Enigma's threat. However, a legend develops that the Miyamoto book can be heard whispering, so it might not completely apply.]]
* {{Hammerspace}}: Enigma can give paper this property.
* KarmicDeath: Or rather Karmic demise, seeing as he doesn't die.
! Masazo Kinoto (Stand: Cheap Trick)
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Overlaps with Yoshihiro Kira for creating Cheap Trick. Cheap Trick tried to get Rohan to burn the photos he had of Hayato following people with a Camcorder, confirming that Kira was one of the crowd people.
* {{Synchronization}}
! Yoshikage Kira (Stand: Killer Queen)
[[quoteright:221:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kira_121.jpeg]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: In [[spoiler:''Dead Man's Question''.]]
* ALoveToDismember: Erotic fascination with women's hands, absolutely no use for the rest of the woman's body. Take it from there...
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Very heavily implied when he's grabbed by hellish-looking hands in the border to the afterlife, though a spin-off shows him being given the chance to redeem himself.]]
* [[spoiler:GhostAmnesia: In ''Dead Man's Question''. He can remember his name, but nothing else.]]
* [[spoiler: GroundhogDayLoop: When his father's Arrow cuts him, he gains the ability "Bite the Dust" which allows him to create brief versions of this. He can even control whether or not they elapse...and even if they DON'T repeat, whomever he killed to start one ''will'' die anyway. - as long as he doesn't retract his Stand beforehand... ]]
* HavingABlast
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Keep in mind that his definition of "normal" is "live without anything obstructing his rituals". He wants his life to be predictable...by him and Yoshihiro, at least.
* MeaningfulName: He's a serial killer named "Kira," predating ''Manga/DeathNote''. Maybe this is part of why Light was unimpressed with his fans' nickname for him--unoriginal.
* {{No Celebrities Were Harmed}}: Of David Bowie.
* [[spoiler:NiceHat: Sports a bowler hat in ''Dead Man's Question''.]]
* SerialKiller
* ShoutOut: In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney'' there's an attack called Bites the Dust that gives characters the Bomb status, which instanly KO's them if hit by a second physical attack.
* StuffBlowingUp: Killer Queen has the ability to imbue things with explosive energy. Whenever someone touches the imbued thing...'''BOOM'''. Not the object, by the way, but ''the person''.

[[folder:Heroes]]
! Josuke Higashikata (Stand: Crazy Diamond)
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Josuke_9742.jpg
->Voiced by: WataruHatano (''All-Star Battle'')
Son of Joseph Joestar. Josuke is known for his unique hairstyle and fierce temper regarding said hair. His adventures started when Jotaro tracked him down and informed him that he was Joseph's son and warned him about the deadly Stand user Angelo, who killed his grandfather shortly after the start of the story. Following that, he was pulled into the search for the serial killer that threatened Morioh-cho.
Note that going with the ThemeNaming of [=JoJo=], the second kanji in his first name, can also be read as "jo," as well as that his proper name would be Josuke Joestar.
-----
* AndIMustScream: Usually what he does to enemies he ''doesn't'' befriend.
* AnimeHair: His epic pompadour.
* BerserkButton: Never make fun of his hair, unless you want your face to literally be rearranged.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He will not, under any circumstance, kill you. But he will hurt you ''a lot'' if you piss him off.
* ButNotTooForeign: He's half Japanese and half British-American.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Not for him, but [[spoiler: when he finally defeated Angelo, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome he used Crazy Diamond to fuse him with a rock, and then he slapped a sign on him that read: "Please leave your doggy's waste in front of the rock".]] ]]
** It also might an example of CruelMercy and / or IronicHell, because [[spoiler: Angelo really hated doggy waste!]]
** There was also the time he [[spoiler: printed the Enigma guy into paper...]]
* CombatMedic: His Stand, Crazy Diamond, is almost on par with Jotaro's Star Platinum when it comes to melee combat; and it's also one of the rare instances where the healing power itself doubles as an offensive measure.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: To a ridiculous extent. Almost everyone he faces ends up becoming his ally.
* HeroicBastard: Joseph's illegitimate son. Joseph was sixty-five at the time, meaning Josuke is actually ''younger'' than his nephew, Jotaro.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Crazy Diamond is capable of restoring almost anything, including living beings, to their original state. This eventually gets used for healing some [[MadeOfPlasticine seriously messy injuries]]. However, he cannot heal himself with this power.
* GreenLanternRing: His ingenuity allows him to use his power to repair (and rearrange) things on a lot of creative manners.
* HonorBeforeReason: Good heart be blamed, as he took this trait to absurd levels! And it back-fired on him on a pair of occasions, [[spoiler:but his good LaserGuidedKarma always triggered on those moments.]]
* JapaneseDelinquents: A funny subversion: He looks like one thanks to his [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack perpetual uniform]] and his characteristic pompadour, but personality-wise is almost the opposite, provided said pompadour is [[BerserkButton not even remotely insulted.]]
* {{Kiai}}: DORARARARARARARA!!!
* PersonalityPowers: As Jotaro discovered, the nature of Josuke's stand is a reflection of his good heart and desire to help those around him.
* ThouShallNotKill: Notable for being the only [=JoJo=] that doesn't kill a single person. He even went to great lengths to save the life of some of his foes.
** He ''will'' mess you up, though.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Turtles?]]: Averted. He is first seen confronting his fear by trying to touch a turtle; this is the only time he ever encounters one, it poses no obstacle to him whatsoever, and he even heals it after its shell gets shattered by some local thugs. Not that this stops him from getting spooked again by it shortly after.
** InformedFlaw: ...Good for him no villain tried to exploit this weak-point, despite the Enigma battle being a perfect opportunity to do so.
* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Grandfather]]: He eventually gets to punish Angelo for he did.
* ZanyScheme: He managed pull a couple of ingenious and successful money-making-ploys... [[HilarityEnsues but not without incidents.]]
! Joseph Joestar (Stand: Hermit Purple)
See [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventurePart2 part 2]]
! Jotaro Kujo (Stand: Star Platinum)
See [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventurePart3 part 3]]
! Koichi Hirose (Stand: Echoes [[spoiler: Act 1/Echoes Act 2/Echoes Act 3]])
* HowDoIShotWeb
* OlderThanTheyLook: His height's probably to blame.
* SirSwearsALot: [[spoiler: Echoes Act 3]] is very foul-mouthed, even in the Japanese original.
* TookALevelInBadass: Several times, actually. The first time he did, his Stand was created, the other times his Stand leveled up with him. Ends with his CrowningMomentOfAwesome: "Your stupidity has exposed you! I will wait for you in the other world!"
* UnsoundEffect: Echoes's first ability.
! Okuyasu Nijimura (Stand: The Hand)
-> Voiced by: WataruTakagi (''Jojo Exhibition'' commercial)
-----
* TheBigGuy: The Hand is pure strength in Stand form, basically.
* ButtMonkey: Like Polneraff and Narancia, he is usually the first person to get subjected to the enemy's Stand.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Expect to see this a ''lot'' where Josuke is concerned.
! Antonio Trussardi (Stand: Pearl Jam)
* BerserkButton: Kitchen hygiene is something that Antonio takes very, ''very'' seriously. He does not take ignorance of said hygiene well, as Josuke found out.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Subverted. It looks like he's flying into a rage when Josuke and Okuyasu see his KickTheDog moment. Turns out he was just pissed that they didn't come in with the proper hygiene.
* KickTheDog: Shockingly subverted, considering this series's track record for the trope. Josuke and Okuyasu witness Antonio feeding some of his food to a sickly dog, and witness said dog [[BodyHorror puke up his intestines]]. Turns out, though (As Okuyasu finds out the hard way), that it's just Pearl Jam's way of curing people, as they need to expel the damaged body parts. The dog turns out to be perfectly fine and better than before.
* MundaneUtility: Pearl Jam was awakened by his resolve to perfect his culinary arts, and its ability reflects that--it quickens the body's digestion and utilization of food to repair any diseases the eater is suffering from.
! Shizuka Joestar (Stand: Achtung Baby)
* {{Invisibility}}
* ShoutOut: The "disguise" that Joseph and Josuke gives her might be a reference to ''{{Literature/The Invisible Man}}''.
! Rohan Kishibe (Stand: Heaven's Door)
* AuthorAvatar: Subverted. Although he shares a lot of traits in common with Araki, Araki has mentioned in interviews that his personality is nothing like Rohan's despite the superficial similarities. For one thing, although Araki likes Josuke, Rohan can't stand him.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a very capable mangaka, but he has a lot of quirks.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Initially, he's portrayed as being reclusive, extremely rude, and possibly even mentally unstable. As time went on, those traits got toned down considerably to where he seemed more eccentric than anything else. He almost seems like a different character in the one-shots compared to how he seemed at his first appearance.
* ADayInTheLimelight: To date there are five oneshots starring him. He's sometimes considered a "bonus" protagonist.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Only partially, though. Rohan gets along very well with Hazamada and Koichi, but not Josuke. He was defeated by the latter, mind you.
* [[GodModers God Mode]]: His stand amounts to this, especially once it becomes clear that he can even use it on himself. He can make it impossible for others to attack him and if he had just a little more motivation, he could have been one of the most fearsome characters in the series with it.
* [[HauntedHeroine Haunted Hero]]: From the manga to the one-shots, every story about Rohan involves him encountering ghosts.
* ItsPersonal: He's even more motivated to bring down Kira when he learns that one of Kira's victims once baby-sat him at her home, on the night Kira chose ''her'' as his newest [[ALoveToDismember "girlfriend" donor]]. She [[HeroicSacrifice neglected her own safety so she could ensure that Rohan would not be killed as well]]. Suffice to say that Rohan becomes determined to repay her sacrifice.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* MadArtist
* MeaningfulName: In Rohan au Louvre, he explains that his parents combined the characters for "tied to" and "the ephemeral" to give him the name "Rohan". This explains why he seems to always attract wandering spirits.
* OneLiner: "However, I refuse."
* RewritingReality: His stand, Heaven's Door, has the ability to alter a target's thoughts, memories, and even their physical space. As of Rohan au Louvre, he can even use the ability on himself.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He bought a few mountains in order to stop construction so he could proceed with research for his manga in an undisturbed environment. He went bankrupt in the process, but money is never an object to him anyway.
* {{Shonen}}: Apparently Rohan's editors believed that he needed more [[BuxomIsBetter large-breasted female characters]] for his manga to be successful. It seems that his manga, Pink Dark Boy, is an action story full of young men and was able to become [[AuthorAvatar a massive hit]] [[JoJosBizarreAdventure even without the addition of more female characters.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A
* WriteWhatYouKnow: Like Araki, believes in researching reality to improve his stories. ''Maybe'' unlike Araki, he does some extreme things for that purpose. Early on he tortures a spider to see how it reacts to pain, then kills and ''tastes'' it.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Being able to literally read people like books comes in handy for when he needs inspiration for new characters...
! Reimi Sugimoto
* BigFriendlyDog: Her ghostly sidekick, Anthony.
* CuteGhostGirl
* MeaningfulName: Aside from the ShoutOut below, "Rei" also means "spirit".
* OurGhostsAreDifferent
* ShoutOut: She and her dog Arnold are named after two Syd Barrett-era PinkFloyd singles, ''See Emily Play'' and ''Arnold Layne''.
! Shigekiyo "Shigechi (Fatty)" Yanguu (Stand: Harvest)
* [[spoiler: AnyoneCanDie]]
* FatBastard: While he is one of the good guys, Shigechi is also greedy, quick to blame his friends when something goes wrong and has a tendency to go back on his word. Justified in that he hasn't exactly been treated nicely in the past.
* {{Gonk}}
* [[spoiler:HeKnowsTooMuch]]
! Aya Tsuji (Stand: Cinderella)
* [[spoiler: [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Bridge On Her]] (She gets detonated by Kira so she can't reveal how she altered his features, ''and'' so they won't revert. Notice that detonation occurs ''very'' shortly after the heroes find her after Kira's escape from her shop.)]]
* [[spoiler: [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]] ]]
* MundaneUtility: When Cinderella alters a woman's features, it also amplifies her luck while the features are in effect. This includes gaining Mr. Right.
! Mikitaka (Stand: Earth, Wind, and Fire)
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He claims to be an alien, but it's never confirmed.
* {{CloudCuckooLander}}: Even if he really ''is'' an alien.
* PointyEars
! Hayato Kawajiri
* BadassNormal: No stand power. In elementary school. Catches onto the villain first, escapes his elaborate trap, and throws himself in harm's way in a determined attempt to make sure Kira gets what he deserves. He more than qualifies.
* PapaWolf: Ironic in that, being just a child, he's willing to die, and kill, to protect his mother from [[spoiler: Kira, in the guise of his father.]]
! Yuuya Fungami (Stand: Highway Star)
* HeelFaceTurn: Although he was actually compelled to help by Josuke in order to deal with Enigma.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Villains]]
! Angelo Katajiri (Stand: Aqua Necklace)
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Angelo's fate after Josuke ''melds him into a boulder.'' Although it's probably more a scream of fury than a scream of agony that's building up in him.]]
* MakingASplash: Aqua Necklace's power is a lot like Geb's. The main difference is that while Aqua Necklace can't control as much fluid as Geb could at a time, it's a lot more precise, and can even control water vapor.
** Eh? He passed that ''long'' beforehand. Look at the kidnapping scheme that put him on death row.
! Keicho Nijimura (Stand: Bad Company)
* AntiVillain: He's really only awakening Stand Users because he's trying to find someone who can [[spoiler: put his [[BodyHorror hideously-mutated-by-Dio's-death]] father out of his misery.]]
* [[spoiler: DroppedABridgeOnHim: Keicho was actually doing pretty well even after Josuke defeated him. Then Red Hot Chili Pepper drags him and his Arrow through a power line. This happens to leave the carried things intact, but still kills living things in the process.]]
! Tamami Kobayashi (Stand: The Lock)
* DefeatMeansFriendship
* DrivenToSuicide: If The Lock becomes heavy enough, its victim ''will'' become so guilt-addled, they'll think suicide the only proper thing to do.
* HeelFaceTurn
! Toshikazu Hazamada (Stand: Surface)
* DefeatMeansFriendship
* HeelFaceTurn
* OlderThanTheyLook: After being defeated by Josuke and befriending Koichi, Hazamada suddenly looks quite a bit younger than before, partly because he suddenly looks a lot shorter. On the other hand, Koichi ''is'' the primary point of view, so this may be an indication of Hazamada no longer being a threat to him. The same thing happened with Tamami.

! Bug Ear (Stand: Ratt)
* BodyHorror Prepare to shudder when you see what happens to living things hit with Ratt's barbs...
! Yoshihiro Kira (Stand: Atom Heart Father)
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Think Atom Heart Father sounds weak? He came within inches of killing both Jotaro and Josuke. It's because any person in a photo with him in it is bound by the area that the photo covers, and whatever Yoshihiro does to the people in the image will happen to the actual people, without any way to stop it.
