Jotaro Kujo

Jotaro Kujo (空条 承太郎 クージョー　ジョータロー Kūjō Jōtarō) is the protagonist of Part 3 and also appears as a major character in Parts 4-6. Jotaro is the third and most recurring JoJo of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. Jotaro is a delinquent who lives an ordinary life until the Joestar Family's old enemy, DIO, returns. Jotaro travels to Egypt in order to save his mother and stop the Vampire once and for all. Wielding the incredibly powerful Star Platinum, Jotaro is the first JoJo introduced with a Stand and is among the most well-known characters of the series. Jotaro is introduced as a rough delinquent, but he has a gentle heart and is loyal to those he likes. He is highly perceptive, intelligent, and quick-witted while keeping a perpetually cool, slightly neutral, or disinterested attitude. Jotaro's most noticeable trait is his stoic and seemingly aloof nature. He is a quiet individual, often satisfied with expressing himself in short phrases. His bio explains that he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time, making others tend to perceive Jotaro as callous. Related to this, Jotaro is an extremely cool and collected individual, able to keep his composure in even the direst situations. The best example of his coolness would be against Daniel J. D'Arby, playing a dangerous game of poker during which he successfully bluffs the expert poker player into folding even if he didn't know what cards he had and wagered the souls of every companion and ally involved. While outwardly aloof and crass to the point of being seen as rude, Jotato truly does care for his friends and family wellbeing, as his initial reason for staying in jail was to prevent his stand from hurting anyone. He was also openly distressed at the state of his mother's illness caused by her forced Stand awakening and teamed up with his grandfather Joseph Joestar. Eventually on this journey to kill DIO and save his mother he forms genuine friendships with Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polnareff, Muhammad Avdol, and Iggy. It is due to these friendships that Jotaro is willing to risk his life to save others when the situation calls for it, as seen when he removed a flesh bud from Noriaki Kakyoin despite the two being enemies beforehand, recognizing he was under control. As well as when he diverted DIO's attention to himself in order to prevent Polnareff from being executed by the former. While he was shown to be mildly anxious when something unanticipated happens, Jotaro almost never goes as far as to lose his cool unless pushed to extremes such as when DIO taunted him with Kakyoin's death and by draining his grandfather's blood in front of him. Jotaro also has a softer side when it comes to women and children and will prioritize their safety as shown with Anne and his high school nurse. One of the strongest Stands in the series, Star Platinum possesses superhuman senses, strength, stamina, accuracy, and speed. Like other physically powerful (or Close-Range) Stands, Star Platinum suffers from a narrow range of activity; active only within a 2-3 meter radius from Jotaro. It is similar to DIO's The World, and, as it turns out, can likewise be used to stop time, an ability revealed at the very end of his fight with DIO. The Tarot card The Star, after which it is named, symbolizes hope, above all.
