Josuke Higashikata

Josuke Higashikata is a fictional character from the Japanese manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Josuke is the main hero of Part 4. He begins the series as a new freshman in the city of Morioh. At this time Jotaro is looking for him as Josuke is the son of Jotaro's grandfather, Joseph Joestar.

Story
Josuke makes his entrance into the JoJo universe as a caring, popular, and a bit naieve teenager. Inspired by his police officer granfather's (on his mother's side) sense of justice, he wasn't afraid to fight for those in need. He is confronted by Jotaro with the concept of eradicating evil Stand users in his hometown, Morioh. He first refuses, believing that it was not any of his business to worry about the threat of other Stand users. However, he quickly changed his mind when his grandfather was killed by Angelo, a career criminal and murderer gifted with the power of the water-Stand Aqua Necklace. With a vow parallel to that of Peter Parker, Josuke decides to deliver justice to Stand users in his grandfather's place.

Stand
Crazy Diamond, A melee stand with short range (3m), Crazy Diamond has an ability of "restoration". It can repair damages and heal injuries (apart from Josuke's own injuries) --although it can not resurrect the dead. It can, however, restore an item to its raw materials (eg. a table can be restored to timbers). This ability allows Crazy Diamond to perform a range of interesting feats, including trapping the enemy (by restoring pieces of a broken crate around the target) and tracking (eg. restoring a torn piece of clothing, and it will seek out and reattach to where it came from). Its restoration ability often "malfunctions" when Josuke is angry, causing the object to be improperly put back together. Its physical appearance is similar to that of The World. His stand's name is a reference to Pink Floyd's song, Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Trivia

 * Josuke's hairdo was done to honor a man who had saved both his mother and him in his youth. Whenever someone insults his pompador, Josuke becomes rather violent, brutally punishing whoever insulted his hair and, by extension, the man who saved him.
