Josuke Higashikata

"Excuse me... What did you say about my hair?!"

- Josuke Higashikata

Josuke Higashikata (東方 仗助,) (助, "suke", may also be read as "Jo") is the main protagonist of Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.

Josuke is a high school freshman residing in the town of Morioh. Part IV begins as Jotaro Kujo searches for him on behalf of Joseph Joestar, his aging, absent father.

Appearance
Josuke is a tall, handsome young man of fit or average build. He has bold eyebrows, and wears a small stud in each ear. Black-haired, of his entire look, the feature most important to him is his grand, well-maintained pompadour (styled after that of an unknown man who saved his life as a child. ).

Josuke wears a modified dark Japanese school uniform. His jacket conforms to his body, extending to the top of his thigh, and he wears very baggy or wide-legged pants. His collar separating slightly, he keeps the chest of his jacket unbuttoned and pinned aside, revealing a light undershirt with a short zipper on each side of his chest.

Josuke wears a number of metallic/golden emblems. On the left of his collar he wears a modified anchor, and on his right a row of three small hearts. Pinning his open jacket to his chest, on his right he keeps a peace sign (☮), and on his left a heart (occasionally enclosing a palm, like on Jotaro's hat). He wears a gold band at both wrists, above his sleeves (under more elaborate pieces in several illustrations).

Valuing footwear, Josuke wears a pair of Mr. Junko original socks and ¥25,000 black Bally shoes.

Josuke's most common color scheme consists of a dark blue uniform (like that attributed to Jotaro in Part III) and a green undershirt.
