Jotaro Kujo

Jotaro Kujo is a character from Hirohiko Araki's manga and anime metaseries JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. He is the main protagonist of Stardust Crusaders, making him the third main Jojo in the series. Jotaro possesses a "Stand" named Star Platinum, which manifests as a large, muscular man with immense punching power, speed, and toughness, but is limited to close range combat. His stand later permanently gains the ability to stop time for several seconds while fighting arch-enemy DIO near the end of the story.

After Part 3, Jotaro later appears as a major character in Diamond is Unbreakable (Pt. 4), appears briefly in Golden Wind (Pt. 5), and then returns in Stone Ocean (Pt. 6) as the father of its main protagonist Jolyne. He is considered the face of the JJBA franchise due to having the most recurring appearances out of the entire cast.

Profile
Strong, stoic, and stylish, the lead Stardust Crusader is one of the most popular Jojos, and has become well known for his signature stand cry and catchphrases, not to mention the series' propensity for producing many internet memes. However, he has a history of struggling in the major saimoe contests that this wiki primarily documents.

In the r/anime brackets, Jotaro is the second-most popular Jojo after Joseph. He typically performs better in the Best Guy contests. In the 6th Best Guy tournament he made history by taking down the over-seeded #1 Mumen Rider in the fourth round, which is the earliest exit for a top seed in all of r/anime character contests to date.

On the other hand, Jotaro is the franchise's primary representative in the International Saimoe League. He has appeared in several editions, establishing himself as a mediocre filler contestant as a result of multiple early exits in the regular season. His performance reflects JJBA's relative unpopularity among the competition's voters. However, with Part 6 anime confirmed to be in the works, Jotaro's chances in the contest may go up in the near future.
