Josuke is a tall, young man of average build. His most prominent feature is his well-maintained pompadour with two small, curved spikes in the back, styled after that of an unknown man who saved his life as a child. His pompadour has a tendency to become spiky with his mood, such as when he is irritated or angry.

Josuke wears a deep indigo kimono with a golden haori, his habana pants white. Because of his relations to Joseph, a British king, he has gold pins of hearts and peace signs on his kimono, even though it is very looked down upon in Japan.

At first impression, strangers are often intimidated by Josuke's delinquent appearance and hotheadedness, with Jotaro Kujo and Koichi Hirose both thinking Josuke was "scary" when they initially encountered him. Indeed, his "delinquent" attitude is conveyed through his rough language; he does not always display the deference towards adults and authority figures typically expected of a Japanese teenager, opting for a casual and straightforward tone. However, it is immediately apparent that Josuke has a deep capacity for kindness, with his anger simply being an extension of his tendency to display emotions openly and passionately. His outgoing and friendly nature allows him to befriend many enemies throughout the story, converting enemies into allies. These bonds strengthen his resolve to protect the town of Morioh and the people he loves. Overall, Josuke behaves like a teenager and, aside from his general goal of protecting Morioh from any Stand menace, is concerned with more down-to-earth matters, such as hanging out with his friends. As a result, Josuke is rarely seen alone in the streets of Morioh. Josuke passively protects his town and only acts when directly asked by the much more proactive Jotaro or when he directly encounters an enemy. Curious, Josuke is quick to investigate any unusual phenomenon, which often leads him to a Stand user. Sufficiently humble, Josuke confesses to being nervous around famous people, opting not to go with Koichi to first meet Rohan Kishibe due to his great fame as a they royal artist. Josuke also has a fear of turtles and has tried to touch a turtle to get rid of that fear. Josuke isn't shy to admit his limits and has confessed that he doesn't know much about manga, or isn't good at video games, even though he isn't happy to have someone know these factoids. In the same way, Josuke tries to live up to Jotaro, whom he admires, and has been nervous around him due to a fear of not living up to the task Jotaro entrusted to him. He has also shown a mild fear of ghosts (in the beginning), as shown when Koichi wonders if he saw a ghost in the house next to Josuke's, and Josuke nervously tells him to cut it out. Josuke is very prone to openly communicate his feelings and emotions, making him appear to be a goofy individual.

Having inherited his father's mischievous side, Josuke has no qualms about bending any established rules or even breaking the law over his greedy pursuits. He is a loyal patron at a pachinko parlor despite being underage. When he and Okuyasu meet Shigechi, Josuke uses his cleverness and charisma to exploit Shigechi's Stand Harvest to find discarded change and coupons from all over Morioh, and commits a felony by impersonating the original buyer of a winning lottery ticket to redeem the money. Similarly, after meeting Mikitaka Hazekura, he takes advantage of his shape-shifting ability, convincing Mikitaka to turn into dice to cheat money from Rohan, with whom he has a bad relationship.[19] Josuke also steals Joseph's wallet as he departs Morioh, with Josuke cheekily referring to it as his "allowance".

Josuke is hyper-sensitive about his unique hairstyle, reacting violently to anyone who mocks it. Koichi believes this idiosyncrasy is due to Josuke treating it as an insult to his childhood savior that he modeled his style upon. Josuke automatically enters a blind rage, regardless of the circumstances, and doesn't hesitate to attack people he may have deferred to moments earlier, such as an upperclassman who was bullying him, before he joined the monarchy. This "blind rage" is also literal; when Rohan Kishibe openly mocks Josuke's hair in an attempt to manipulate him into looking at his manuscript, Josuke is so enraged that he cannot see it right in front of him and beats Rohan so severely that he is sent to the hospital and forced to put his manga on hiatus for two months.
