Jobin Higashikata

Jobin Higashikata is a minor character in Part VIII: JoJolion.

He is the eldest son of the Higashikata Family.

History
It is known from his son Tsurugi's explanation of the Higashikata family's superstitious beliefs of warding away "demons of sickness" that Jobin, being the firstborn son of his family, was raised as a girl until he turned twelve.

JoJolion
He is mentioned by Joshu Higashikata during the attempt at a family photo, apparently having left shortly before. The mention of his absence is enough for his father to call off the welcoming photo for Josuke.

Fifth Generation
Jobin appears in the Higashikata Fruit Parlor. First, Josuke spills some of his melon parfait on his foot; when Jobin stoops to clean it with a houndstooth handkerchief, quoting Aida Mitsuo; to his father's recognition.

Explaining that he has returned from Vietnam and the Philippines, it is revealed that he has a taste for expensive ornaments, including a golden Lamborghini and a Dorcus titanus palawanicus (giant stag beetle); and that he has a close relationship with his father.

Finally, it is suggested that he knows of the fruit tree that produces the spiky fruit capable of healing the family's disease.
