I think it's Kato. I don't actually think it's going to be like Part 4 where a new villain largely unrelated just shows up to be the main antagonist, or even some behind the scenes mastermind with greater ambitions only somewhat related to the drug trade, because unlike Part 4, Part 8 is one long continuous story about the Rock Humans, Josuke's past and the Higashikata connection. Part 4 is mainly unrelated goings-on-about-town, even after Kira is introduced. I don't think the story is going to take a wildly drastic turn, as much as I would like it to to shake things up a little. The one thing Part 8 really inherits from Part 4 is how low-stakes the fight is, so in the end I think it's mainly going to be all about the family feud between Kato and Jobin versus Norisuke and the rest.
