Joestar Family

“
I can tell since I watched those three men who
carried the blood of the Joestar Family in their
veins back in Morioh. The three of them emanate
righteousness from their hearts as if it gave them
energy... [...] Without a doubt the blood that @ows
through Giorno's veins also carries the will of the
Joestars.

KOICHI HIROSE,

The Joestar Family (ジョースター家 , Jōsutā Ke) is

the main family featured in the JoJo's Bizarre
Adventure series, which each of the protagonists of
the series is a part of. It was a powerful family with
English roots; most of its members attract particular
trials and tribulations when confronting the
supernatural. The Joestar Family is also notable for its
members possessing exceptional moral compasses
and courage.

Description

The Joestar family has had a rich history and each of

its members have had wildly diHerent lives from each
others. One of their key features are a star-shaped
birthmark above their left shoulder blade, a feature
that was hijacked by Dio Brando when he stole
Jonathan's body.

The Main Joestars of the Series

Jonathan Joseph Jotaro Josuke Giorno

Joestar Joestar Kujo (Part 4) Giovanna
(through
Dio
Brando)

Jolyne Johnny Josuke Jodio

Cujoh Joestar (Part Joestar
8)

They began as a noble and well-oH family of British

society, residing in a luxurious mansion in England,
thanks to George I's trading business. However, his
son, Jonathan, burned down the mansion in an eHort
to slay the vampirised Dio Brando, who had been his
adopted brother, and the family has lived elsewhere
since then, their homes occupying diHerent countries
depending on the generation. The family has also
abandoned its roots in nobility notwithstanding most
of the descendants having prominent occupations.

The Joestar line has English and even Scottish roots,

however, its members became more diversiPed with
time, starting with Joseph marrying and having
children with Italian and Japanese women. This trend
has continued with his descendants, such as Joseph
marrying Suzi Q and moving to America, Holy
marrying a Japanese man and then living in Japan,
as well as Jotaro marrying an Italian-American
woman and going to live in the United States. Thus
the Joestar Family are also connected to Italy, Japan,
and the United States.

The family's archenemy is Dio Brando, his evilness,

immortality, and worldwide inUuence leading to the
Joestars battling the vampire and his followers for the
majority of their recent history, with the Stand User
Jotaro Kujo Pnally killing the vampire in 1989. But even
so, Dio's legacy persists and the Joestars continue to
battle Dio through his successor (Enrico Pucci). Due
to the exceptional circumstances of Dio Brando
stealing Jonathan's body, the Brando Family is deeply
connected to the Joestars, and several members can
be considered to be both children of Jonathan and
Dio in a way (as well as other women).

The Joestar family is considerably connected to the

supernatural, several of its members meeting with
supernatural creatures and combating fantastical
threats with varying degrees of willingness. They also
have a predisposition for having supernatural abilities.
The family's earlier members can count among them
a high number of Ripple users, but Joseph was their
Pnal representative. Afterwards, each of the Joestars,
starting with Jotaro, becomes Stand users, all
blessed with powerful Stand abilities.

Although the family's members are largely referred to

as the Joestars, the family name itself died out early
in the series with Joseph, his children having taken
diHerent names such as "Kujo" and "Cujoh". The high
number of illegitimate children in the family also
results in names such as "Higashikata" or "Giovanna".
The most prominent members of the family
throughout the generations have had a tendency to
have alliterative names, earning them the shared
moniker of "JoJo" amongst their respective friends
and/or family.

Second Continuity

In the second continuity introduced in Steel Ball Run,

the Joestar Family's root in British nobility are
represented, with an emphasis on a horseriding
tradition, the Joestars counting several famous and
gifted jockeys among them during the 19th century.
Their connection to the United States is also
reinforced by making Johnny Joestar living in the
country for a long period of time. However, the
tradition also died out with Johnny marrying Rina
Higashikata, tying the Higashikata Family distantly to
the Joestar family.

With Johnny going to live in Japan, some of the

mainline members became primarily Japanese. Holy
Joestar married into the Kira family, and due to other
exceptional circumstances, the JoJolion Protagonist
Joestar , Josuke, is part Kira, part Kujo and is adopted
within the Higashikata Family.

The history of the Joestar Family in the second

continuity is much less detailed, the story skipping
from 1890 to 2011 without exploring most of what
happened to the members living in-between, Outside
of a story arc exploring Joseph Joestars youth in the
1940s and the fact that he is a Stand user as
Johnny's grandson.

The JOJOLands features the Grandchildren of

Joseph, Jodio Joestar and Dragona Joestar, The
Protagonist Jodio's main goal is becoming Plthy rich
in the subtropical islands.

The Joestars retain their link with the supernatural,

with Johnny becoming a Spin User, and his
descendants being Stand Users as well.

Trivia

Many members of the Joestar family, starting

with Mary, had lived tragically short lives due to
fatal encounters with supernatural foes.
In the original timeline of the Prst six parts ,
the obcial Joestar bloodline technically
ended with the deaths of Jotaro and Jolyne,
not counting Giorno or Josuke being
illegitimate. However it should be noted that
Joestar bloodline still lives on after the
Universe reset, evident by Irene .
