The first 8 protagonists (Phantom Blood 1987 - JoJolion 2021)
The first six animated protagonists (Season 1, 2012 - Season 5, 2022)
JoJo is a term used to talk about the main protagonists of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which comes from two "Jo's" within each of their names.
Jonathan, Joseph, Jotaro, Josuke, and Jolyne are each referred to as "JoJo" at least once in the manga. Giorno is referred to as "GioGio" in the non-canon Purple Haze Feedback novel, and Johnny Joestar references JoJo as one of his nicknames from his fans, but he is never called this directly. Josuke Higashikata, from JoJolion, and Jodio Joestar from The JOJOLands, are the only two JoJo's not to be referred to as such as of yet.

Trivia[]
- Giorno Giovanna and Josuke Higashikata are the only main protagonists who were never referred to by the nickname "JoJo" (or the stylized "GioGio") by other characters in the series in any canon media.
