Meet the characters from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

Gappy

Gappy is this weirdly endearing mystery wrapped in a leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses that sometimes aren’t even sunglasses. He’s curious, stubborn, and genuinely bounces between heroic and confused in a way that makes you grin — like he’ll solve half a family secret and then forget where he put his hat. There’s a softness under all the oddball gestures, but also this uncanny, silent seriousness when things get weird (which is always). Honestly, he’s equal parts detective, awkward nephew, and walking enigma, and it somehow works.

Bruno Bucciarati

Bruno is the kind of leader who gives you both a warm hand and a strict timeline; he’s calm, principled, and will put his life on the line with poetic seriousness. He’s soft-spoken but has this steel core — will make a speech and then do something quietly dramatic right after. Also obsessed with justice in a strangely maternal way, and yes he probably irons his zippers (don’t fact-check me). He’s loyal to a fault and commands loyalty in return, which makes him tragic and inspiring at the same time.

Gyro Zeppeli

Gyro is showy and weirdly humble at once — hat, spin, and a thousand cryptic life lessons thrown in for free. He’s got charisma for days, this cowboy vibe mixed with a renaissance dude who likes to lecture you about fate while twirling a steel ball. He’s tender in brutal ways; tough but absolutely capable of soft sarcasm and fondness for kids and horses (and maybe pasta? I’m not sure where that came from). He’s the wild mentor you didn’t know you needed, with a tragic backbone and terrible timing for goodbyes.

Johnny Joestar

Johnny is bitter, brilliant, and somehow heartbreakingly vulnerable beneath that perpetual squint and cowboy hat. He’s a complex mess of pride and regret — competitive to the bone but also desperately searching for meaning, which makes him fascinating and sometimes exasperating. There’s this physical stubbornness (like, his body betrays him but his will doesn’t) and you can see him slowly open up if you pay attention. Also has unpredictable mood swings where he’s philosophical one moment and petty the next; human, basically.

Funny Valentine

Funny Valentine is terrifyingly patriotic and disturbingly charismatic in a way that sends chills down your spine, like a polite storm. He believes in a grand, almost sacred mission and will rationalize anything for it, which is both compelling and utterly wrong. There’s this buttoned-up, almost dad-like veneer but don’t be fooled — he’s strategic, cold, and convinced he’s the hero of his own grotesque movie. He’s the kind of antagonist who makes you think twice about morality and then lose sleep about it.

Dio Brando

Dio is pure, deliciously theatrical villain energy — narcissistic, charming, and violent in the most dramatic way possible. He’s charismatic enough to seduce a room and cruel enough to break you for sport, with a flair for monologues and ridiculous poses (yes, the poses). There’s a sneering intelligence behind everything and an utter lack of genuine remorse, but also an absurdly grand sense of destiny — like he was born to yell things dramatically. He’s the canonical show-off bad guy and somehow you can’t help watching.

Yoshikage Kira

Kira is quietly horrifying in that suburban, absurdly tidy way — the perfect neighbor who’s actually a nightmare. He wants a calm life and will meticulously plan everything to keep that peace, but his hobbies are grotesquely specific and maladapted (which is the creep factor). He’s unnervingly polite and methodical, and there’s something almost banal about how monstrous he can be, which makes him worse. Also he likes hands? No, that’s not a joke — it’s a whole thing, and you’ll think about it at 2am.

Rohan Kishibe

Rohan is an obnoxiously brilliant artist who treats people like sketches and also like subjects for the ultimate manga — kind of rude but oddly magnetic. He’s obsessed with truth and stories, to the point of being socially tone-deaf, and yes he’ll probably interrogate you for inspiration. He’s arrogant and ethical in strange ways; will invade your privacy but only because art is “necessary” (don’t ask him to explain). Also has this deadpan humor that sneaks up on you and then you’re laughing and slightly disturbed.

Jobin Higashikata

Jobin is slick, upper-class, and quietly menacing — the kind of guy who smiles while rearranging your life for his benefit. He’s ambitious and infuriatingly meticulous, with a taste for control and a very particular sense of family legacy (which he enforces like a hobby). There’s a venomous politeness to him, like courtesy draped over something sharp, and he’s shockingly pragmatic about unpleasant choices. Also he collects weird things? Maybe antiques, maybe grudges — either way it’s unsettling.

Jotaro Kujo

Jotaro is the classic tough-guy with a tiny heart tucked somewhere under a deadpan stare and that iconic hat. He’s stoic, decisive, and has this ridiculous tendency to be both intimidating and somehow dad-like (he’ll smirk and save everyone, then leave). He speaks little but does a lot; actions over words, always, except when he throws one-liners like rare candies. He’s unfussy, efficient, and somehow cooler than every other character in any given hallway fight.

Guido Mista

Mista is chaotic, loyal, and paradoxically superstitious in the most adorable ways (don’t mention the number four unless you want a lecture). He’s loud, funny, and a bit reckless — like someone who fires first and thinks later, but with impeccable aim and a surprising sensitivity. He’s got a vibe that’s half goofball, half deadly serious when it matters, and his hat is basically another character at this point. Also, he talks to his bullets? No, he definitely doesn’t, but maybe sometimes.
