Kujo Jotaro is a Japanese criminal with Japanese ancestry on his father's side and half-British, half-Italian ancestry on his mother's side. Jotaro lives an ordinary life until the Joestar family's old enemy, DIO, returns. After seeing his mother Holy fall ill due to DIO's awakening, Jotaro sets out on a journey around the world with his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, and a group of friends to save his mother and defeat the Vampire once and for all. Wielding the all-powerful Star Platinum, Jotaro is the first JoJo to be introduced with a Stand. Jotaro is a 195 cm (6 ft 5 in) tall and muscular man, often described as attractive by other characters. He has dark hair that is consistently paired with a hat, a strong jawline, bold eyebrows, and greenish eyes. His trademarks are an ornate peaked cap that is torn off at the back and blends into his hair, and a roughly mid-calf-length coat with a stand-up collar and attached chains. Jotaro wears a modified gakuran/tsume-eri long cloak with a high, stiff collar, pierced on the left by a gold chain. Underneath his clothes, he wears a fitted sleeveless shirt and a pair of form-fitting ¥20,000 pants that are very short, sharply flared, held up by two thin belts, often different colors, with a pattern of alternating multi-colored mosaic triangles. He also wears a pair of leather boots (presumably) without socks. Jotaro's iconic cap features a gold button in the center and a rectangular gold plate on the left with an image of a flattened palm. Jotaro is presented as a rough, violent criminal, but has a soft heart and is loyal to those he likes. He is very perceptive, intelligent, and quick-witted, while maintaining a consistently cold, slightly neutral, or disinterested attitude. He has a habit of muttering to himself "Give me a break..." (やれやれだぜ, Yare Yare Daize) to express his annoyance at trials and other events that occur around him, to the point that it has become his catchphrase.

Jotaro's most notable personality trait is his seemingly aloof nature. He is often content to express himself in short phrases. He thinks that anyone can recognize his emotions just by looking at him, and believes that further effort into portraying his feelings would be a waste of time, leading others to perceive Jotaro as cold-hearted. Due to this, Jotaro is an extremely cool-headed person, able to maintain his composure even in the most dire of situations. Jotaro is both fierce and gentle, displaying these traits in various scenes. Jotaro hates people who hurt women or children in a fight, even if the woman or child in question is evil, and will be especially cruel to them; Furthermore, Jotaro is blunt and foul-mouthed, and has no problem being cheeky towards his mother or any other authority figure. The teenager prefers witty one-liners, often ridiculing those who are the target of his wit and offering absurd reasons for his exploits. Jotaro is interested in a wide range of subjects, such as sumo wrestling or the Columbo series, from which he claims to have acquired his deductive skills. Jotaro also has a quirky and distinctive sense of fashion, along with a strong attachment to his clothes. STAND PLATINUM STAR Main article: Star Platinum One of the strongest Stand users in the series, Star Platinum has superhuman senses, strength, endurance, precision, and speed. Like other physically strong (or at close range) Stand users, it is worth noting that Star Platinum suffers from a narrow effective range of 2 meters, beyond which its strength and speed are greatly reduced. MASTERY Jotaro's natural battle sense and flexible thinking make him extremely proficient at using his Stand, which is facilitated by how powerful it is in the first place. At its most basic usage, Star Platinum will punch through almost any obstacle Jotaro encounters, but he can also be very imaginative when applying its physical prowess, such as stretching Star Platinum's limbs for extra range.

Jotaro often uses his Character's superhuman qualities to enhance his abilities. He can use Star Platinum's enhanced vision to see distant objects on his own, and like other Stand users, can block attacks aimed at him with his Stand. Jotaro often defends himself by channeling Star Platinum from within his body, which also allows him to use its enhanced strength to propel himself into the air. As a member of the Joestar Family, Jotaro bears a Star Birthmark and is associated with the supernatural. Intelligence: Jotaro is a skilled tactician, using a combination of direct brute force and unexpected tricks to gain the upper hand. With Star Platinum's immense power, Jotaro can either force his way out of any sticky situation or use unexpected tactics, such as tunneling towards an enemy or using his lungs to negate fog. Jotaro has occasionally used the environment to his advantage, stuffing his clothes with thick books.

As such, he mercilessly attacks unrelated civilians and adopts a powerful mindset. However, he reveals himself to be a righteous, albeit crude, man. Kakyoin is ruthless towards his enemies, but loyal to his allies. His reason for joining the Joestar Group is that they both fight evil, as it mirrors Jotaro's own explanations for saving his life. Kakyoin is an "honest student type", and can therefore be described as arrogant and somewhat withdrawn. Although he usually maintains a polite and somewhat formal demeanor, Kakyoin is a rather cold and proud man. He dislikes bowing or sucking up. The humiliation of being weak enough to bow to DIO was part of his motivation in seeking redemption and revenge throughout Stardust Crusaders.

Likewise, Polnareff appears to be arrogant and can be quite impulsive. He is very proud of his Silver Chariot, and with good reason as he has trained hard with it, but his over-confidence unfortunately means he is ill-equipped to deal with cowardly Stands in his path as he does not anticipate their moves.Polnareff is also the least serious member of the group. He is arguably the one who chats the most with his companions, casually joking with Kakyoin, Joseph, and even Jotaro. Being very extroverted, he has no problem expressing joy or sadness, and is therefore the most compassionate of the group, being the one who mourns his comrades openly. This trait pushed the team to not reveal to him that Avdol had survived, as they were afraid that he would reveal the secret. Polnareff is somewhat easily distracted, and constantly finds a way to lighten the mood.Polnareff fancies himself as a ladies' man. This is partly due to his mild narcissism, where he often considers himself a handsome man and is particularly proud of his hair.
