Shinobu Kawajiri

Shinobu Kawajiri is tired of her boring life. In her youth she found a partner in her husband Kosaku Kawajiri, a cute boy from school everyone wanted to be with. She was flattered by the attention she got from him, but once she had a kid and was locked into marriage she quickly realized that she never felt love for him, just a love for the simple life that would have granted her. Because of this, Shinobu is upset with her husband, often passive aggressive to him. Part of Shinobu hopes that some day her husband will surprise her, and finally take the place of the man she wants to love instead of just a pathetic hardworking man who does the same thing every single day. She also wants her son, Hayato, to give her more respect, as he often is just sulking in silence ignoring everyone around him. Although later in the lore of Jojo her husband Kosaku is murdered and his identity is stolen by Yoshikage Kira, a serial killer who poses as Kosaku to hide from the consequences of his actions. Shinobu actually ends up falling in love with this man, and the new changes that come within her husband. Shiobu never finds out that her husband has been replaced. Shinobu is a woman of seemingly average height and slim build, with hair that is parted to the right and tied back in a low ponytail. Sometimes, like in her first appearance, she will tie back several locks of hair that are part of her bangs. She wears several different outfits throughout the series, most of them having skirts and patterns such as polka-dots.
