“
The hell did you say about my hair?![2] (今おれのこの頭のことなんつった！)
”
—Chapter 266: Jotaro Kujo! Meets Josuke Higashikata, Part 1
Josuke Higashikata (東方 仗助, Higashikata Jōsuke), referred to in the game's localization as "Josuke Higashikata 4", was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was 1 of 15 playable characters during the EVO 2022 Demo on August 5.[3]
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
In the English localization of the game, the name of Josuke's Stand, Crazy Diamond, is localized as "Shining Diamond", the same name used in the original All-Star Battle.
Yuki Ono reprises his role as Josuke's voice actor from the Diamond is Unbreakable anime, replacing Wataru Hatano. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Josuke were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Josuke has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Crazy Diamond, dynamically changing his moveset in the process.
This section requires expansion.

ロック じゃあねぇぜ。 魂を感じねぇ！)” - “I declare that I'm gonna blow your brains out, along with your hair. (その大切な髪の毛の、のっかっている頭をブッ飛ばすと予告する！)”

- “The first thing I'm going to do in office is outlaw that ridiculous hairstyle! (なんともひどい髪型だ。 そんなヘアスタイルはわが国民には絶対させない)”
- “Baoh has detected the scent of his foe's hairstyle... And he doesn't like it one bit! (バオーは相手の髪の毛の発する

Commemorative Giveaway
In commemoration of the release of Keicho Nijimura as the 3rd paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Diamond is Unbreakable badges,[7] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[8] The badges in question contained the ASBR render images of Okuyasu Nijimura, Keicho, and Josuke Higashikata respectively.
The campaign started on March 24, 2022, and lasted until April 9 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:
- Follow the @jojo_games_jp Twitter account.
- Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway.
However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.[8]
The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third-party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were announced sometime towards the end of April 2023. The gifts were delivered in mid-May 2023.[8]
