Jotaro Kujo (空条 承太郎 Kūjō Jōtarō) is the protagonist of Stardust Crusaders and the main character in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage For The Future. He is the first character introduced with a Stand, Star Platinum.

One day Jotaro claims to be possessed by an evil spirit and locks himself at a prison. His grandfather, Joseph Joestar and his assistant, Muhammad Avdol pay him a visit and explain to him that his evil spirit is actually an emanation of his spiritual power, called a Stand and that its sudden appearance is related to the awakening of Joestar's sworn enemy, the vampire DIO. Jotaro's mother, Holly, also becomes affected by this and develops a Stand that drains her of her life due to her spirit not being powerful enough. After defeating the first two assassins sent by DIO, Kakyoin, and Polnareff, Jotaro saves their lives from removing DIO's flesh buds that controlled them. Now the party of 5 travels to Egypt together to find and stop DIO before Holly dies due to her Stand.

Jotaro is a very powerful close range oriented character with very good normals and fast attacks that can easily cause a Stand Crash. He has a very strong pressure game and devastating supers. A lot of his combos lead to hard knockdowns where Jotaro's true potential lies, as he has some of the best okizeme options in the game. His only major weakness is the fact he has no long-range attacks.
