Created in 1987 by the mangaka [[Hirohiko Araki]], the series is famous for its original and unique art style, intricate plot, and creative battles. It also features a huge number of allusions to Western rock music, including characters named [[Ronnie James Dio|Dio]], [[REO Speedwagon|Speedwagon]], and [[Led Zeppelin|Zeppeli]], just to name a few. Although ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' has not been able to receive recognition like other imported manga and anime, it is still very well received by fans all over. And with such insane plots as exploding people, 15-year-old gangsters, and epic Rock, Paper, Scissors matches, is it any wonder?
Western audiences are likely more familiar with the [[Memetic Mutation|memes]] the series has produced because of the series' general theme (read: [[World of Badass|badassery]]), as well as the [[Fighting Game]] from [[Capcom]] released in 1999 and the 10-episode OVA. Speaking of the fighting game, a leaked Xbox Live Arcade release list has revealed the existence of an HD port of it, which came as a big surprise to many as [[Capcom]] had lost the license after their endeavors with the series shifted to adventure games which did not sell well in Japan.{{not current}}
