Rohan Kishibe (岸辺 露伴,Kishibe Rohan) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer. [1]
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 tweaks that All-Star Battle brought.
Replacing Rohan's previous voice actor, Hiroshi Kamiya, is Takahiro Sakurai, who has voiced him since the Diamond is Unbreakable anime adaptation. Because of this, and like the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Rohan were either added or re-recorded.
Rohan has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド,Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Heaven's Door. During a fight, he can use various moves from his appearance in Diamond is Unbreakable.
