Editing Jolyne Cujoh (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) (section)

== Family background and mixed heritage ==

Jolyne was born around 1992 in the United States to Jotaro Kujo (空条 承太郎) and an unnamed American woman. 

Her mother is portrayed as a white American (often interpreted as Italian‑American in secondary material), while her father is half‑Japanese and half European through the Joestar line, making Jolyne a Japanese‑American of largely European and Japanese descent. 

Through Jotaro, Jolyne is the great‑granddaughter of Joseph Joestar and Suzi Q and the great‑great‑granddaughter of Jonathan Joestar, tying her to the British origins of the Joestar family and its Italian branch. 

On her mother’s side, she grows up with American citizenship, English as her first language, and a daily life steeped in US culture, especially in and around Florida. 

Jolyne’s parents divorce while she is still young, and her father’s long absences as a traveling marine biologist leave her effectively raised by her American mother. 

As a result, her Japanese heritage is something she knows primarily as “my dad’s side of the family” rather than an everyday cultural experience, adding another layer to her sense of distance from Jotaro.
