It’s still kind of hard to believe, but Japan is getting a Takashi Miike-directed live-action adaptation of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable this August. The official website and Twitter for the films have been gradually revealing in-costume visuals of the cast members, and it’s finally time for a look at Jotaro Kujo.
Jotaro first brought his intensity to Hirohiko Araki’s series as the protagonist of the third arc, Stardust Crusaders, and as a result he’s one of the most well-known characters. He’s featured prominently in Diamond is Unbreakable alongside his uncle and arc lead Josuke Higashitaka, and you can see how 40-year-old actor Yusuke Iseya looks in the role below.
