Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is a Japanese anime TV show that started airing in 2012. The first part follows the storyline of two stepbrothers—JoJo (Jonathan Joestar) and Dio Brando—who must fight each other to control the Joestar fortune.
The Joestar family possesses intense physical strength, which each member uses in different ways. Since the family is cursed with this strength, they encounter difficult challenges against evil forces.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure perfectly blends genres such as adventure, fantasy, comedy, and even action by letting each character showcase their personality types based on how they use the cursed strength.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Characters’ Personality Types
Before we get started, we suggest you take a personality test and find out your personality type to see which Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure character you’re like!
Now, here’s a list of 8 most popular Jojo characters and their personality types:
#1. Jotaro Kujo
Jotaro Kujo is an ISTP, which stands for introversion, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. Known as “virtuosos,” ISTPs rely on their common sense to solve problems.
One fun fact is that the creator of the show, Hirohiko Araki, was inspired by Clint Eastwood while working on Jotaro. Clint Eastwood is also an ISTP! This explains their similarities, such as silently moving around and being aloof.
#2. Jobin Higashikata
Jobin Higashikata is an INTJ. What makes him stand out from the other characters is that this personality type is the rarest, and it is believed that only 4% of people in the world are INTJs.
INTJs are consistently looking for new things to learn and are perfectionists determined to reach their goals no matter what. This trait leads to Jobin wanting to obtain the power of Locacaca to lift the Higashikata curse. He is determined to reach this goal no matter how bad it can affect Morioh.
#3. Jonathan Joestar
Jonathan Joestar’s personality type is ESFJ. His extroversion shows, as he is the main protagonist of the first part of the series. As the protagonist, Jonathan possesses caring and reliable qualities, making him a great leader.
ESFJs focus highly on organizing everything, which helps them remain practical when necessary. We can notice this in Jonathan, as he always strives to make a good impression and become the ultimate “true gentleman.”
#4. Dio Brando
The series’ main antagonist (and JoJo’s stepbrother), Dio Brando, is an ENTJ. ENTJ stands for extraversion, intuition, thinking, and judging. ENTJs are known as “commanders,” and they, therefore, show great strategic abilities.
Dio Brando is the perfect example of an ENTJ, as he is charismatic and innovative, two skills many anime villains possess. Another trait that ENTJs are known for is their lack of empathy.
Lastly, ENTJs are quite arrogant, and Dio is no stranger to this attribute. One of his most famous speeches begins with “I, Dio,” making it clear to everyone that he’s the main center of attention.
#5. Ringo Roadagain
Ringo Roadagain is an INFP. This personality type is usually portrayed with attributes such as empathy and compassion. This is definitely the case for Ringo, as he has witnessed multiple traumatic experiences, especially when a deserter kills his family.
INFPs can also be quite self-critical. Ringo showcases this when he consistently calls himself “incomplete” and is constantly looking for ways to better himself. However, to achieve this, he uses observations and ensures every fight is fair.
#6. Blackmore
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’s Blackmore is an INTP. INTPS are known for their analytical and problem-solving skills. As such, Blackmore utilizes these skills to become the perfect assassin.
INTPs are also quite insensitive to those around them. Blackmore fits this trope, as he is the antagonist of the seventh part of the series. He shows his insensitivity as he shows zero remorse for killing Mountain Tim.
INTPs are pretty private when it comes to sharing things about themselves. This is true for Blackmore, as he is depicted as the most impassive character in the series.
#7. Joseph Jostar
Joseph Jostar is the protagonist of the second part of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and as such, is an ESTP. ESTPs are known as the best leaders, and Joseph is the embodiment of leadership. We see this in Joseph Jostar when he shows his devotion to his friends and family and says he will do everything in his power to protect them.
ESTPs can be quite competitive and insensitive. Joseph shows these traits during his fights. He uses tricks and cheats to beat his competitors, as long as he secures the win.
#8. Kars
Kars is an INTJ and shares the same attributes as Higashikata, as he is the leader of the Pillar Men (Hashira).
INTJs are referred to as the “mastermind,” and Kars is definitely a great match for this title. They’re also known as strong-willed and have great tendencies for innovation. This can be seen in Kars when he wants to advance his powers by trying to improve his Stone Mask.
