The manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure was created by Japanese writer and illustrator Hirohiko Araki and made its debut in 1987 in the magazine, Weekly Shonen Jump. In 2012, an anime series adapting Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency was released, and several video games around the series have also been created. A live-action film based on Diamond is Unbreakable was released in Japan in 2017.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is divided into parts with individual characters and stories, all following a member of the Joestar family, who share a pink star-shaped birth mark above their left shoulder blade. The first six parts of the series — Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, Diamond is Unbreakable, Golden Wind, and Stone Ocean feature generational conflict stemming from the rivalry between Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando. Steel Ball Run and Jojolion take place in an alternate universe where the Joestar family tree is altered.

As of May 2021, there have been 130 volumes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and it has had over 120 million copies in circulation as of December 2021.
