Holy Kujo (空条 ホリィ, Kūjō Horyi), née Joestar (ジョースター, Jōsutā), is a secondary ally featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders. She is the daughter of Joseph Joestar and Suzi Q, wife of Sadao Kujo, and mother of Jotaro Kujo.
Due to the connection between Jonathan Joestar's body and his descendants, Holy gains a Stand when DIO gains his. However, she becomes ill from the power of her own Stand, setting Jotaro and Joseph on course for Egypt to kill DIO.
Holy Kujo is a forty-five-year-old woman of British and Italian descent with light, shoulder-length hair. As is the case with any other Joestar, she possesses a star-shaped birthmark on the left side of the nape of her neck.
Holy wears multiple outfits in Stardust Crusaders. In her first appearance, she wears a long dress, a pearl necklace, and earrings. When she meets with Joseph, she wears a coat over a collared shirt and a skirt in addition to the necklace and earrings. At home, she wears a long-sleeve shirt, a long skirt, an apron, slippers, and circular earrings. When she faints the next morning, she wears a cardigan, a shirt, a long skirt, and circular earrings. While being taken care of by the Speedwagon Foundation, she wears a nightgown, being bedridden. These outfits differ across the manga, anime, and OVA.
In the first episode of the Stardust Crusaders anime, her circular earrings were designed to be inherited from Lisa Lisa. Her previous outfit in the same episode also has her wearing a beaded necklace, similar to what Suzi Q wears in the anime when she is older.
Holy is the cheerful, doting mother of her son Jotaro Kujo, hardly ever seen without a smile. Despite her son's common insults and general annoyance at her, she's able to see through him and perceive the true kindness within him, of which she is deeply proud. She loves her family with all her heart and will even lie about her own well-being to keep them from worrying about her. In general, she is a caring person, showing concern for a wounded Kakyoin, taking time to care for his wounds. Kakyoin feels inspired by her, describing her as ‘someone who just puts you at ease by being near her’.
Despite her age, she is sometimes childish, tickling her father in public and playfully demanding that he call her by her nickname.
Having lived in Japan for twenty years, she has adapted to living there, speaking Japanese very well, as noted by a Japanese policeman.
