Appearance
In his younger days, he had black hair and muscular build and looked remarkably like his grandfather Jonathan. In his older age, he wears a hat and sports a yellow shirt and khaki pants, not unlike Indiana Jones' appearance. One of his hands is synthetic, as a result of his fight with Kars. In the OVA and manga based on Part III he has light blond hair while in the TV anime his hair is light grey to reflect his age.

In Part IV, Joseph is also one of the oldest human characters to appear, along with Yoshihiro Kira and Kenzo.

Steel Ball Run
His counterpart is not seen so far in Part VIII: JoJolion, however on the Higashikata family tree, his name is seen as the father of Holly Kira, & the son of George Joestar II. His name is also shown without a death year, showing that he might be alive as well.
