Jobin Higashikata

"Even for someone like me... someone fortunate enough to be born as the eldest son of a wealthy family, I need to keep climbing higher... or I will never be happy. It's all relative."

- Jobin Higashikata in

Early Life
Not much is known about Jobin's early life. At age 12, he received the rock disease that plagues the firstborn of each Higashikata generation and his mother cured it using unknown means.

Every Day is a Summer Vacation
In 2011, some time around August 19, Jobin briefly meets Josuke who is coming to live with his family before leaving on a trip to Vietnam and the Philippines. He eventually returns and gifts Josuke a stag beetle. Josuke challenges Jobin to three stag beetle fights. Josuke wins the final fight and in return gets the keys to Jobin's golden Lamborghini Gallardo.

Vitamin C and Killer Queen
Jobin's acquaintance, Damo Tamaki attacks Jobin's family, but Josuke and Hato defeat him. Jobin witnesses his death at the hands of Josuke. Shortly afterwards, Jobin's mom, Caato, gets out of prison and begins helping Jobin defeat Josuke.

Blue Hawaii
Jobin enlists the help of Dolomite to attack Josuke. Jobin then helps himself by using his stand, Speed King, to knock out Yasuho Hirose, who is helping Josuke.

Personality
Jobin is very childish. He plays with toys and obsessively collects stag beetles, but he also is a fan of the poet, Aida Mitsuo and has a philosophy that whatever standing in life one starts at, that is "zero" for them and everyone seeks to raise their position regardless of where their "zero" is.

Powers and Abilities
Jobin's stand is called Speed King. It can raise the temperature of anything it touches by a few degrees Celsius, though it is believed that this is only a fraction of its true potential.
