He was voiced by Kisho Taniyama in Japanese and Philip Reich in English.
Biography[]
As a motorcycle racer, Yuya got drunk and crashed his bike, landing him with severe injuries. Upon being taken to the hospital, he was shot with the Bow and Arrow by Yoshihiro Kira and given the Highway Star Stand.
He first sets up an illusionary house in a highway tunnel with Highway Star and lures Rohan Kishibe inside. Highway Star then springs out of the "wardrobe" chasing Rohan out of the tunnel and begins to suck his fluids dry. Josuke is then lured into the "room" finding Rohan nearing the point of becoming a withered husk. Highway Star then attempts to use the manga artist as bait, but Rohan blasts Josuke out of the tunnel ordering him to seek out Yuuya.
Highway Star then begins an intense battle against Josuke around the city. While Josuke calls up Koichi, Highway Star ambushes the Crazy Diamond user. Josuke is nearly stopped by traffic lights that are red but propels himself and bike over a stroller just in time. Desperate, the schoolboy steals a cell phone and tells Koichi to find out where Yuuya is at, Grapes Hill Hospital.
Yuya's Stand chases Josuke to the harbor but Crazy Diamond breaks some concrete for a shield. Highway Star continues to chase Josuke through a drainage pipe but is trapped on a parked car, only briefly.
When Josuke reaches the hospital, Yuuya is reported to be resting in room 525. Just as Josuke closes in, Highway Star begins to suck him dry. Yuya gloats his triumph being healed of his injuries and has a keen sense of smell. When he asks his three female nurses who is angry, Josuke answers, having drank some IV full of vitamins. With this, Crazy Diamond breaks Yuya's leg who tells its unwise to hit an injured man. After Crazy Diamond heals him, the Stand rapidly punches multiple times, and he lands into the hospital's fountain as Josuke declares it a fair fight. Yuuya is left to be hospitalized while Josuke heals Rohan.
Much later, Josuke enlists Yuya's help in saving Koichi from Terunosuke Miyamoto and at the end of the Yoshikage Kira crisis, bids Reimi farewell.

To start its hunt, Highway Star makes a faux room with only a handful of furniture. When the victim steps inside, Highway Star will acquire the scent.
