Character from jojos-bizarre-adventure by Hirohiko Araki
The eldest Higashikata son — a beetle enthusiast with a heat-based Stand who would burn down the world to save his family from the curse that was killing them.
Jobin Higashikata is JoJolion's most tragic antagonist. He is not evil — he is a father and son desperately trying to save his family from the Rock Disease, a curse that slowly petrifies Higashikata family members. His alliance with the Rokakaka smuggling operation is motivated entirely by love: the fruit's equivalent exchange can cure his family, even if it means someone else suffers. He collects beetles with obsessive enthusiasm, treating staged beetle fights with the same intensity he brings to protecting his family. Speed King stores heat in objects that Jobin has touched, releasing it later as devastating scalding — a slow-burn ability for a slow-burn villain. His conflict with Gappy is heartbreaking because both are right from their own perspective.
Handsome, well-dressed man with styled dark hair and sharp features. Wears fashionable suits and accessories. Keeps exotic beetles as prized pets. Speed King manifests as a small Stand that clings to Jobin's body, radiating stored heat.
