All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri

""Luck" is on the side of Yoshikage Kira! (この吉良吉影に「運」は味方してくれているッ！)"

Kosaku Kawajiri (川尻 浩作) was confirmed to return for during the game's initial announcement trailer.

His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought.

In the English localization of the game, Kosaku's Stand, Killer Queen, is localized as "Deadly Queen", carried on from its debut.

Replacing Kosaku's previous voice actor, Rikiya Koyama, is Toshiyuki Morikawa, 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 Kosaku were either added or re-recorded.

Dialogue
Outside of, Kosaku has unique dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.

Music
Kosaku's theme is KILL A (ＫＩＬＬ・Ａ), and can be unlocked in-game by landing the "Can I ask your name?" throw in 's Kosaku vs  Extra Battle.

Its name is taken from Kosaku's actual name, Yoshikage Kira, as it's a romanization of "Kira" featured on the cover of Chapter 146 of Diamond is Unbreakable.
