==Early Life==

During the night of August 13, 1983, his [[Rohan's Parents|parents]] had an important thing to attend to and so Rohan was left with Reimi. He was saved by Reimi at the cost of her own life from the serial killer [[Yoshikage Kira]], but was in shock and couldn't serve as a witness.

Three months before the events of [[Diamond is Unbreakable]], [[Keicho Nijimura]] shoots Rohan with an [[Arrow]], awakening a Stand ability in yearshim.
 
==''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' (1999)==
At some point during his childhood, Rohan, while playing on the beach, fell onto some rocks and broke ribs on the left side of his body. Because of that injury, he experiences pain in that area if he finds himself wherever there is extremely low atmospheric pressure.<ref>{{TSKR|Manga|7}}, p. 4</ref>
By 1999, Rohan Kishibe is now a famous manga artist whose series, "[[Pink Dark Boy]]", is a success among children and adults alike. His series is also published in Taiwan and in several European countries, but not in English.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 371}}</ref>

[[File:Rohan_and_Nanase_intimate_moment.png|thumb|right|Rohan & Nanase]]
Years later, Rohan met a woman named [[Nanase Fujikura]] at his grandmother's inn. Rohan, at the age of seventeen at the time, becomes intrigued by her and attempts to use her as a model for his drawing. Nanase shows interest in his drawings and asks to read his work once he finishes it.
 
Days later, Nanase tells him the story of [[Nizaemon Yamamura]], who created the "Under the Moon", which Nanase describes as "the darkest painting in the world." She leaves the room to answer her phone briefly, but when Rohan goes to check on her, she appeared to be crying about her divorce and goes running out of the house.
 
A week later, she returned and Rohan knocked on her door. She opened the door and embraced him while crying. Rohan attempts to show her his drawings of her, but she suddenly becomes enraged and begins stabbing the drawings. She runs away crying again, only this time she doesn't come back.

===[[Let's Go to the Manga Artist's House (story arc)|Meeting the other Stand Users]]===
 
[[File:DU_ep14_rohan.png|thumb|Rohan's first appearance]]
One day, [[Koichi Hirose]] and [[Toshikazu Hazamada]], both fans of his work, attempt to ring at his doorbell to meet him. Rohan mistakes the youngsters for pranksters at first, but the misunderstanding is cleared. Rohan is happy to meet his fans and invites the two boys inside with the intention of reading into their lives as inspiration. He brings the pair to his office and explains how he works to them. When he spots a spider, Rohan identifies it, guts it and licks its innards to gather the most information possible about the spider, which freaks out Koichi and Hazamada find offputting. When Hazamada pukesvomits, Rohan tries to use this as an inspiration, but he stops when he notices Hazamada is exaggerating his pukingvomiting on purpose.
 
[[File:Rohan reads Koichi.png|thumb|left|Rohan reads through Koichi's life experiences]]
Rohan leaves the room under the pretense of making tea for his guests. He purposefully lets the drafts of his next chapter in the open so that Koichi and Hazamada are tempted into looking at it. Soon enough, both are turned into books by the power of [[Heaven's Door]]. He returns and reads the bio of a horrified Koichi, learning about his experiences and the other [[Stand]] Usersusers in town. Fascinated by Koichi's colorful life and admiring Koichi's character, he decides to make the boy his muse. For his safety, he writes a command on Koichi forbidding him from doing Rohan any harm. Indeed, [[Echoes]] is forced to miss all its attacks. However, he is appalled by Hazamada's personality and refuses to use his life as material. When Koichi asks him why he's using such extreme methods to gather inspiration, Rohan angrily tells him that he's working to be read and that he's addicted to the rush of completing a chapter, meaning he will get his handhands on material no matter what. Immediately after, Rohan rips several pages from Koichi. He then lets the boys leave with an autograph and a sketch, but secretly commands Koichi to come back. Moreover, Koichi still cannot harm Rohan and forgets about the incident every time he wants to call for help.
[[File:Okuyasu_under_Heaven%27s_Door.png|thumb|Rohan defeats Okuyasu]]
====Battle Against the Joestar Group====
During the night, his new material inspires him so much he's practically completed a chapter in a few hours. When Koichi comes back in the morning, Rohan finishes his chapter and rips another page from Koichi's bio. When [[Okuyasu Nijimura]] and [[Josuke Higashikata]] knock at his door, Koichi crawls to the door and opens it. However, Rohan's command still makes Koichi unable to tell his friends about Rohan and the mangaka patiently waits for Koichi to return to his office. When Koichi returns, he again regains his memories. However, Josuke and Okuyasu have guessed that something is wrong because of an injury on Koichi's hand. Okuyasu threatens Rohan, but he uses Okuyasu's bio to his advantage and psyches him out. When Okuyasu attacks, Rohan shows him his latest page and turns him into a book. Rohan now awaits Josuke (who was right outside the office) to act.
[[File:Rohan_punched.png|thumb|left|Rohan punched]]
To force Josuke to stay, Rohan orders Okuyasu to burn himself if Josuke leaves, forcing Josuke to step into the office. Josuke opts to keep his eyes closed and run into the general direction of Rohan. Somewhat impressed, Rohan throws pen nibs at Josuke's face, who keeps his eyes closed despite the pain. Then, Rohan decides to taunt Josuke about his hairstyle, knowing that he'll lose control of himself. Josuke approaches Rohan and summons [[Crazy Diamond]]. Although Rohan is faster than Crazy Diamond and shows his art before Josuke's Stand can land a punch, Josuke proves to be immune to Rohan's art because he is literally blinded by rage. Crazy Diamond pummels Rohan into his bookshelves. Despite everything, Rohan hears Josuke's tragic backstory and is inspired into etching more manga. However, Josuke finds him and violently beats him up again. Rohan is sent to the hospital. Rohan's manga, Pink Dark Boy, is suspended for a month as a result of his defeat.
 
====[[Rohan Kishibe's Adventure (storyStory arcArc)|Reimi Sugimoto's Ghost and the Killer]]====
 
[[File:Rohan_asks_Koichi_for_help.png|thumb|Rohan meets Koichi again]]
Upon leaving the hospital, Kishibe finds a lot of respect for Koichi, in whom he confides, and at the same time holds an extremely deep hatred towards Josuke. One day, Rohan feels some nostalgia about his childhood. Convinced that an artist should be in touch with their childhood, Rohan decides to revisit the neightbourhoodneighborhood he lived in when he was 4, although he was few memories of that place. On his way, Rohan meets [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] again and pressures the boy into following him. The two spot an [[Ghost Girl's Alley|unmapped alley]] and decide to explore it. Soon enough, they realize that the alleys in there are abandoned and that the path loops on itself, despite the impossibility of it. Suddenly, a girl greets them. Rohan uses [[Heaven's Door]] on her, reading her bio in detail. He learns her name, [[Reimi Sugimoto]], but when he gets too personal, Koichi tells him to knock it off. Rohan decides to erase Reimi's recent memories to have a proper introduction.
Reimi presents herself and nicely tells the pair to follow her to the exit, pretending that they are simply lost. When Reimi tries to play at pocky horoscope with them, Rohan dismisses it. SuddenlyAs payback, Reimi decides to tell the two the horrifying story of a girl that was assassinatedmurdered in one of the houses nearby. One night, a girl heard a disquieting dripping sound coming from her parents' room, but she knewtook comfort in knowing that her dog was by her bed, as it licked her hands when she putmoved itthem down. When the dripping sound continued, the girl gathered the courage to check on it but saw with terror that her dog washad deadbeen killed, its throat slit, and hanging from a coat rack. The killer revealed himself from under the bed and killed the girl. After theReimi storyfinishes speaking, Rohan sees the dog from the story, [[Arnold]], and realizes that he's been talking to the ghost of the murdered girl.
 
[[File:Reimi%27s_plea.png|thumb|left|Reimi asks Rohan & Koichi to find her killer]]
Rohan and Koichi try to flee but are still stuck in the alleys. Reimi eventually calms them and explains herself. She says that she's a revenant because she isn't at piecepeace, knowing that her killer is still mudering people. Reimi begs Rohan and Koichi to bring the killer to justice, to which the two acceptsaccept, although Rohan tells her he is more interested in the case as an inspiration. Reimi thus tells the pair how to exit the alley but warns them about spirits that will take them away if they turn back. As they approach the exit, Rohan and Koichi nervously keep walking as they hear and feel things behind them. When Koichi is tricked into turning back, Rohan thankfullyquickly uses Heaven's Door to command Koichi's to fly towards the exit. Reimi tells the pair that she will be waiting onat thethat spot and salutes Rohan, whichwhom she calls "Rohan-chan".
 
When Rohan investigates the cemetery to confirm Reimi's story, he meets a local monk who not only confirms her story, but also informs him that he was present at the time of the crime. Reimi was babysitting him and threw him from the window to keep him safe from the killer when he attacked her.
 
===[[Yoshikage Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly (storyStory arcArc)|Pursuing the Killer]]===
When [[Yoshikage Kira]], Reimi's killer, kills [[Shigekiyo Yangu]], the Stand Usersusers in town are alerted and gather at Reimi's place. They all agree to work together to find the killer.
 
Although [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] acquire a solid lead thanks to a button Shigechi left the heroes, Kira unleashes an automatic sub-Stand on them. After a fight, Kira is seemingly cornered but he manages to flee. Worse, he uses [[Aya Tsuji]] to change his face with an anonymous salaryman. The heroes lose track of Yoshikage Kira, who has changed identity.
 
====[[JankenRock-Paper-Scissors BoyKid Isis Coming! (storyStory arcArc)|Battle Against Ken Oyanagi]]====
[[File:Rohan playing Jankenpon.png|thumb|Rohan plays Jan-ken-pon]]
The ghost of [[Yoshihiro Kira]] decides to create as many [[Stand]] Usersusers as possible in an effort to kill the heroes. One of them, [[Ken Oyanagi]], is a boy who decides to defeat Rohan to make a name for himself. While Rohan takes photographies of every commuter in [[Morioh]], Ken confronts him and asks him to play rock-paper-scissors. Rohan uses [[Heaven's Door]] to confirm he isn't an enemy and then ignores him as he believes Ken is an ordinary boy. However, when Rohan calls a taxi, Ken overtakes him into the car and forces a first round. Rohan wins with a "rock". At a café, Rohan sees [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]], [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] and [[Yukako Yamagishi|Yukako]] sitting together; although they invite him, Rohan looks down on each of them and decides to sit alone. However, Ken steals his seat and makes a scene, forcing Rohan to play again. Rohan wins the second round with "paper". At a bookshop, Ken again takes a book Rohan was interested in. Angry, Rohan punches Ken in retaliation but loses the round because he technically played "rock" against Ken's "paper".

Line 60 ⟶ 65:
Furious, Ken takes Shizuka hostage and forces a new game. Determined, Rohan wins easily. To neutralize Ken, he decides to write a command preventing Ken from ever playing rock-paper-scissors. Desperate, the boy throws himself in front of a truck. Amused, Rohan also throws himself in front of the truck. Luckily, Yoshihiro's photo blocks the view of the driver, forcing him to swerve. Rohan and Ken survive. Ken recognizes his defeat and Rohan merely tells him not to use his Stand. However, they have lost Shizuka and must look for her even though she's invisible.
 
====[[I'm an Alien (storyStory arcArc)|Playing Cee-lo]]====
[[File:Rohan furious at his bad luck.png|thumb|left|Josuke is obviously cheating]]
When [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] finds a shapeshifting alien named [[Mikitaka Hazekura]], he concocts a plan that will allow him to win big. Josuke rings at Rohan's doorstep and begs him to play Cee-lo with him. Despite his contempts, Rohan accepts. As a precaution, the mangaka refuses to play with the dice Josuke has brought and uses his own. Unbeknownst to him, Josuke has planned for this and planted Mikitaka beforehand in Rohan's drawer. During the first round, Josuke wins five times his wager with a triple 6. Then, Rohan has the worst possible result. Suspicious about the results and Josuke being visibly panicked, Rohan takes the dice, goes inside his home to take a magnifying glass, and calls [[Tamami Kobayashi]]. First, Rohan examines the dice but doesn't see the trick thanks to Josuke's lies. During the second round, while Rohan has a seemingly normal result, Josuke gets a triple 6 again.
[[File:Rohan's house on fire.png|thumb|Tamami informs Rohan of the fire]]
Humiliated, Rohan cuts his finger with a pen and declares that he'll discover how Josuke is cheating by the next round. If he does, he'll take Josuke's pinky as punishment. With Tamami's help, Rohan forces Josuke to cheat again. Mikitaka's dizziness threatens to undo his disguise and Josuke is forced to throw the dice with Mikitaka on the verge of being discovered. However, a fire starts in Rohan's house and the mangaka is distracted. This allows Josuke to flee after he quickly heals Rohan's finger. Rohan's hate for Josuke increases.
 
====[[Highway Star (storyStory arcArc)|Highway Star's Pursuit]]====
[[File:Rohan sees Kira in a room.png|thumb|left|Rohan sees a room in a tunnel]]
Some time later, Rohan crosses path with Josuke again in the bus. Rohan's passive-aggressive behaviour makes Josuke uneasy. Inside of a tunnel, Rohan sees a room in the walls of the tunnel, where someone is cutting off a woman's hand. Rohan tries to warn Josuke but he isn't believed thus Rohan checks on the room alone. Driving his motorcycle in the tunnel, he soon finds the room but realizes that something is pursuing him. Rohan flees on his motorcycle and manages to keep the enemy away as long as he drives above 60kmph. Forced to slow down because of a passing truck, Rohan is caught by the Stand [[Highway Star]]. Highway Star proceeds to sap Rohan's lifeforce and takes him out. Josuke comes back and also sees the room, where Rohan is kept. Highway Star promises to let Rohan go if he lures Josuke inside, but Rohan refuses out of principle. The mangaka warns Josuke to stay away. When Josuke still steps inside the room, an angry Rohan calls him out on his stupidity. When Highway Star attacks, Rohan makes Josuke fly out of the tunnel and warns him about Highway Star's limitations. To shut him up, Highway Star takes the last of his strength.
Line 72 ⟶ 77:
After Josuke finds and defeats [[Yuya Fungami]], Rohan is found and recovers although his opinion about Josuke doesn't improve.
 
====[[Cheap Trick (storyStory arcArc)|Battle Against Cheap Trick]]====
[[File:Cheap Trick 1st.png|right|thumb|Rohan discovers Cheap Trick has transferred to his back]]
During his investigation, Rohan notices the strange behaviour of a boy named [[Hayato Kawajiri]] filming someone in one of his photos. Because his house has been burned down, Rohan makes an appointment with an architect named [[Masazo Kinoto]] to appraise the cost of repairs. When Kinoto appears, Rohan uses [[Heaven's Door]] to confirm Kinoto is not a Stand Useruser and even writes a command on him. Sure of his safety, Rohan lets Kinoto free. Intrigued by Kinoto's obsessive fear of having his back exposed, Rohan traps the architect to take a look. At first disappointed by Kinoto's ordinary back, he sees the back open and Kinoto dying. [[Cheap Trick]] then appears on his back.
 
Rohan cannot use [[Heaven's Door]] without hurting himself and cannot run from the enemy Stand. As it tells him to burn the photos, Rohan decides to call [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] as he trust him. However, Cheap Trick is invisible to Koichi and Kinoto's body has shrunk to the size of a toy. The boy thinks that Rohan is messing with him and thus leaves. Rohan examines the photos once again, but falls asleep from exhaustion. Cheap Trick almost kills him by ordering several deliveries. As they open the door to his living room, they bump into his chair and wake him up just in time.
Line 82 ⟶ 87:
Rohan seemingly loses his mind out of desperation and shows his back to Koichi and Cheap Tricks turns around to possess Koichi. However, Rohan reveals that they are in [[Ghost Girl's Alley]]. The malicious spirits of the alley take Cheap Trick away and to seal its fate, Rohan commands the enemy Stand to go to hell. Out of the alley, [[Reimi Sugimoto|Reimi]] looks at Rohan's scattered items and sees the photo of a certain [[Kosaku Kawajiri]].
 
====[[Another One Bites the Dust (storyStory arcArc)|Another One Bites the Dust]]====
[[File:Rohan learns of his death.png|left|thumb|"Rohan Kishibe was also killed."]]
During the final investigation of Yoshikage Kira's new identity, Rohan narrows it down to [[Kosaku Kawajiri]] after finding a suspicious photograph of Kosaku being tailed by his son, [[Hayato Kawajiri]], holding a video recorder. Rohan manages to meet with Hayato and uses Heaven's Door to find out more about his father. As Rohan opens contents of Hayato's body book, he discovers a warning on Hayato's pages to not read further. Rohan eventually discovers that Kosaku is actually Yoshikage Kira in disguise. His excitement of this revelation is cut short when a miniature Killer Queen appears, revealing that Kira has unlocked a new Stand Ability, [[Killer Queen#Bites the Dust|Bites the Dust]]. By discovering Kira's identity through Hayato, Bites the Dust marks Rohan. Wounded, Rohan feebly attempts to call out to Koichi and Jotaro who were just a few blocks away from him and is promptly killed by an explosion, which, coincidentally, reminded him of his first time with Josuke. Bites the Dust loops time back an hour and in the second version of the hour, Rohan is killed again as he was already marked by Bites the Dust in the previous time loop, despite not meeting Hayato in the current time loop. In the third and final time loop, Kira is forced to deactivate Bites the Dust in order to protect himself when Josuke discovers his identity, sparing Rohan just seconds before his fate.
Line 88 ⟶ 93:
Later, Rohan arrives with Jotaro and Koichi, as the gang manages to corner Kira. As Kira attempts to use Bites the Dust to escape, the group witnesses Kira's last moments as the serial killer is crushed by an ambulance.

When the group finds the painting they are attacked by a ghost mob of their relatives and everyone save Rohan is killed the same way the ghosts died.

In order to finally work on his manga in silence, he accepts to use [[Heaven's Door]] on the [[Rika Tachikawa|waitress]]. He learns her name is Rika Tachikawa, a 20 years old college student from downtown. Rohan reads on but doesn't find anything about Okuyasu, so he changes her back to normal and asks them not to bother him further. Rika awakens without remembering what just transpired and happily attends to Rohan, who asks for a coffee and gives her an autograph.
In the light novel ''JORGE JOESTAR'', an incarnation of Rohan lives in the 37th universe. Rohan has the same appearance, personality, and Stand as his original universe counterpart. He is friends with [[Koji Hirose]], [[Muryotaisu Nijimura]], and [[Fukashigi Nijimura]], but considers them annoying because they always bring trouble with them every time they appear at his house.
 
[[File:Jorge 4-01.jpg|thumb|left|Rohan and friends]]
===Background===
Rohan had a manga called ''[[Pink Dark Boy]]'' in serialization for twenty years, and had recently started part eight of the series. In January 2012, Rohan purchased the [[Arrow Cross House]] after his previous house burned down. The original owners of Arrow Cross House couldn't be found, and the house had appeared on a hill out of nowhere, so it was going to be torn down before Rohan stepped in to buy it.
 
Rohan found a girl named {{JJ|Reimi Sugimoto}} there, who he decided to let stay as a guest after discovering that she has amnesia. He attempted to use [[Heaven's Door]] on her but couldn't find out anything about her past.<ref name="JORGE4">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 4}}</ref>
 
[[File:Jorge 6-06.jpg|thumb|right|Almost killed by Kira]]
At some point, Rohan found {{JJ|Yoshikage Kira}} and was almost killed.<ref name="JORGE6">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 6}}</ref> [[Bites the Dust]]'s effect was put on Rohan but Reimi's ability allowed her to keep Rohan in a suspended state between life and death beneath the Arrow Cross House, preventing other Stand users from being able to see him. As there was no oxygen in that area, he would not explode. Due to his state of being an "astral projection", Koji, Muryotaisu, and Fukashigi assumed that he was missing for two weeks in July.
 
On July 24, Rohan found [[Tsukumojuku Kato]]'s corpse mounted to a stuffed polar bear in his study room. Despite being a light sleeper, the corpse and polar bear somehow appeared there without him noticing. On that night, Reimi and Rohan mixed up their bedrooms and slept in each other's rooms.<ref name="JORGE4" />
 
===Detective Murder Case===
[[File:Jorge 4-08.jpg|thumb|left|Using Heaven's Door on Jorge]]
Rohan meets Detective [[Jorge Joestar (Joji)|Jorge Joestar]], who arrived at his house to investigate the case. He is frustrated that his house was already used for a murder like some cliché story. Rohan then lectures Jorge that he should only call him "Rohan" rather than "Kishibe-san" or "Kishibe-sensei". Jorge hesitates so Rohan uses Heaven's Door to prevent Jorge from calling him anything else besides Rohan.
 
Rohan describes the mystery of the Arrow Cross House. He also mentions how more than one detective was murdered in Morioh recently. The first was [[Sachiari Hakkyoku]], whose body was found seated on a giant stuffed sea turtle, designed to resemble {{W|Urashima Tarō|Urashima Taro}}. [[Nekoneko Nyan Nyan Nyan]] was next and was found near Angelo Rock, surrounded by stuffed dogs, cats, and pheasants. Her death resembled the {{W|Momotarō|Momotaro}} folk tale.
 
Rohan takes Jorge to the scene of the locked room murder. The police had taken away Tsukumojuku's body, but the bear was left behind as it was too large. Rohan shows Jorge copies of the crime scene photographs that he had the police leave behind, leading Jorge to wonder how Rohan was capable of having everyone listen to his orders as if he could bend the world to his will. The two wonder how someone managed to bring a giant polar bear into the room without Rohan noticing. Later, Rohan tells Jorge about {{JJ|Reimi Sugimoto|Reimi}}. Rohan shows the exact locations of each murder case on Jorge's map, and Jorge realizes that the triangle of dead detectives matched the exact shape of the {{W|Bermuda Triangle}}.
 
[[File:Jorge 4-10.jpg|thumb|right|Rohan's reaction to Jorge's deduction]]
As an experiment, Jorge borrows Rohan's hair clippers and cuts the fur of the stuffed polar bear. Rohan whines that he could never use those clippers again. After Jorge points out how Rohan could have theoretically not noticed the polar bear due to its white fur in the white room, Rohan reacts with a bizarre noise that causes Jorge to burst out laughing.
 
Rohan explains what Stands are and what his Stand could do, explaining that Morioh has several Stand users who are drawn to one another. Jorge tries to mention Kira's name, but suddenly forgets it. Rohan had used Heaven's Door to prevent Jorge from saying the name aloud or else Jorge would explode. Suddenly, the doorbell rings and Rohan asks Jorge if he can get his visitors to leave. He flees the room, asking Reimi to come with him. At the door, Jorge is greeted by Muryotaisu, Fukashigi, and Koji, who confront Jorge assuming he did something to Rohan. After Fukashigi mentions Kira's name, Reimi uses Arrow Cross House's ability to protect him from exploding like Rohan.
 
[[File:Jorge 4-17.jpg|thumb|left|Reimi and Rohan]]
Jorge deduces that Reimi is actually a humanoid Stand who could control the Arrow Cross House and used her ability to hide Fukashigi. Rohan is intrigued to learn that she is actually a Stand and not a human. Accepting Jorge's request, Rohan uses Heaven's Door on Jorge so that he could see Stands. Jorge then asks Rohan to use Heaven's Door on Muryotaisu and Koji, allowing them to see "astral projections" like Rohan and Fukashigi. Jorge also realizes that each arrow on the house could rotate, explaining why Rohan did not notice anything happening after Tsukumojuku's murder.
 
Suddenly, Morioh has an earthquake and a chasm opens along its borders. Koji flies into the air with his Stand and reports that Morioh somehow detached off of Japan and became its own island, sailing on the sea. Just then, Rohan also reveals that he had read Jorge's pages from Heaven's Door. All of Jorge's adventures as a detective were listed under a heading titled "Forgery". Behind Jorge's left ear, Rohan found his true story. He was born in 1889 in the Canary Islands, became a pilot, fought in World War II, and then was murdered in 1920 by an air force general.<ref name="JORGE4" />
 
===Mass Hysteria===
[[File:Jorge 4-20.jpg|thumb|right|Morioh's earthquake]]
Separated from Japan, [[Morioh]] travels south at an insane speed of 100 knots (185&nbsp;km/h). Rohan draws a map of Morioh for Jorge. They assume Morioh became an island from the powers of an individual and plan to head to Budogaoka Academy, because the school was located in the center of the dome. Reimi reveals that Kira had canceled the effect of [[Bites the Dust]], so Fukashigi and Rohan were now safe and freed from [[Arrow Cross House]]'s protection. Suspicious of the timing, Rohan wonders if Kira is the one who is moving Morioh.
 
A loudspeaker in the distance declares that Morioh will have an emergency meeting at the Budogaoka gymnasium and all citizens must attend. Rohan says his temporary goodbyes to Reimi as she could not come with them and the Nijimuras and Koji tease him for flirting with her. Jorge questions whether he should come with them because he isn't a Stand user, but everyone convinces him to because he's the detective and has to solve the case.
 
[[File:JorgeGrandBleu.jpg|thumb|left|Riding on Grand Blue]]
Muryotaisu summons his Stand [[Grand Blue]], manifesting as three dolphins which carry the group and fly away toward the school like rockets. By the time they reached Jozenji, they found the temple had burned to the ground. The remains of the walls and floor were covered in drawings of [[Mothman|moths]] and the citizens there had set themselves on fire. Jorge and Rohan realize that since this place had some sort of mass hysteria, it might also happen at Budogaoka gymnasium where all of Morioh's anxious citizens were gathered. They quickly head to the gym on Grand Blue, finding thousands of people pouring gasoline on each other when they arrive. They acted like zombies, constantly muttering "scared" in a trance. Rohan tried using [[Heaven's Door]] but everyone's books were filled with the word "scared" and there was no white space left for him to write any orders. Jorge realizes they could probably alter the conditions of the hysteria by destroying the locked room, so Koji uses [[Blue Thunder]] to destroy the gym's walls. As the locked room disappeared, everyone had come to their senses, wondering why they were covered in gasoline.
 
Rohan and Jorge wonder if there was anyone there who could be Kira. He would have to grab someone on the way to the beauty parlor but Kira was a careful man who couldn't rely on coincidences like that. Rohan states just standing around watching people won't get them anywhere so he heads to Koji.<ref name="JORGE6" />
 
Rohan flies back to Arrow Cross House with Koji's [[Blue Thunder]], stating that he'll protect Reimi himself. Jorge follows him back to Arrow Cross House anyways. However, Reimi states that [[Cube House]] is the safest place for her to be as nothing would affect its walls. Jorge decides that they should all escape into Cube House, but Reimi is unsure whether its old power still exists since it transformed into Arrow Cross House. Jorge then demonstrates that Cube House simultaneously exists with Arrow Cross House, revealing the hidden door below Rohan's rug. Jorge reveals that someone might be hiding down there and asks Rohan for anything he could use as a weapon and escape gear. As Rohan gives Jorge a golf club, Reimi warns Jorge that it's a bad idea to go into Cube House as it's meant for a single occupant. If two people are running around in different rooms there then it could cause severe contradictions, leading to one person possibly being trapped in a parallel universe. Rohan worries about what may happen if they go in now, but Reimi assures him that since she is the owner of Cube House, she can decide where the floors, ceilings, and walls are. The three safely descend into the first room of Cube House and then Jorge goes further into the rooms below to investigate. Eventually, Jorge checks every room but they are all empty. Reimi then screams after checking the camera, as [[Tsukumojuku Kato]] is on the screen. Despite being dead, he walks up to the camera and laughs, saying that he guesses his life entirely belongs to Jorge Joestar, before he then vanishes.<ref name="JORGE8">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 8}}</ref>
 
===Passione''[[Vento MurderAureo]]'' Case(2001)===
Rohan uses [[Heaven's Door]] on Koichi so that Koichi can understand Italian for his trip to Italy.
After [[Passione]] takes over Morioh, [[Team Bucciarati]] stays at Arrow Cross House. {{JJ|Yoshikage Kira|Kira|t=2}} (actually {{JJ|Kosaku Kawajiri}}) and {{JJ|Diavolo|t=2}}'s bodies are mysteriously also found in Rohan's study with a time of death at 8 AM, despite Rohan and Jorge having been in the room at that time. They find the original universe [[George Joestar II|George Joestar]] injured on the ground outside and bring him in so {{JJ|Giorno Giovanna|t=2}} could heal him. Rohan makes it so everyone in the house could speak English, Italian, and Japanese.
 
===''[[Stone Ocean]]'' (2012)===
[[File:Jorge 15-08.jpg|thumb|right|Angry about blood on his bed]]
When [[Made in Heaven]] speeds up time to the point that one work day seems to last less than five minutes, one manga artist complains to his editor that no one can make deadlines in such circumstances. He is then told, to his astonishment, that Rohan Kishibe has been making his deadlines.
When George is conscious, Giorno introduces himself and explains what Stands are, revealing that Rohan also made it so George could see Stands. Rohan introduces himself by stating that the only reason he's helping is because he wants all of them to leave as soon as possible, angry that they got George's blood on his bed. Giorno and Rohan explain how they learned George's history by reading everything about him, and decided that he is the best man to solve the mystery of the two deaths. They also reveal to him that Tsukumojuku had died there and another [[Jorge Joestar (Joji)|Jorge Joestar]] was in charge of that case. George is informed of Jorge's adventures and what the current situation is like now in London.
 
==''[[Eyes of Heaven]]''==
[[File:Jorge 15-14.jpg|thumb|left|Yelling at Mista]]
{{Non-Canon|eoh}}
Rohan's Heaven's Door had tried turning the two bodies into books, but the pages were filled with the word "death" in different languages. He then tried using Heaven's Door on the holographic recordings of [[Videodrome]], but only their names and information about their Stands were written on the pages. After Rohan mentions how he had a clock in his study but someone had stolen it, {{JJ|Guido Mista}} replies that he should just buy another one. Rohan angrily rebukes Mista saying that he has affection for his own items, so Mista backs off. From that hint, George deduces that there must have been a reason for the clock being stolen, with "time" being the key word. He realizes that time must have been sped up, even though their bodies were moving normally.
 
When [[Heaven-Attained DIO]] starts to overwrite reality, Rohan is one of the heroes who are altered to become his servants. Thus, Rohan and a similarly brainwashed Okuyasu attack [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] and [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] in the streets of Morioh. Incidentally, Josuke and Koichi have just met [[Jotaro Kujo]] from 1989 who's just appeared in their era with the help of a [[Saint's Corpse]]'s part. Josuke and Koichi defeats them, then Jotaro uses [[Star Platinum]]'s time stop to prevent Rohan from escaping and successfully restores him. However, Okuyasu escapes.
[[File:Jorge 15-16.jpg|thumb|right|Reminiscing about how he used the thermometer]]
George asks Rohan for a thermometer so that they could do autopsies. {{JJ|Leone Abbacchio}} and [[NYPD Blue]] are reluctant to take rectal temperatures until George convinces them to by saying they shouldn't let an amateur handle it. Grossing Abbacchio out, Rohan describes how he used the thermometer on various wild animals such as birds, cats, and a boar, but he assures that the thermometer is well sterilized. The two officers take the temperatures and then examine the inside of Kira and Diavolo's mouths and eyes. Abbacchio asks if George figured anything out, but George ignores him. Abbacchio throws the thermometer at George, but the latter dodges and the thermometer shatters, angering Rohan.
 
Rohan accompanies the party to look for the Corpse Parts. At Boyoyoying Cape. They face a few enemies and Rohan specifically teams up with Koichi against a seemingly berserk [[Yukako Yamagishi]]. They defeat her but she disappears. Eventually, Jotaro finds the Corpse's left arm and entrusts Josuke with it.
[[File:Jorge 15-18.jpg|thumb|left|Apologizing to Reimi]]
Following George's request, all of the clocks in the house are brought to the study by Rohan, Muryotaisu, Fukashigi, and Koji. The Nijimura twins are creeped out at how all of Rohan's clocks are exactly in sync with even the second hands matching, but Rohan argues that he isn't as sloppy as them. George then asks Reimi about the Cube House. Rohan explains how Stands can unexpectedly evolve, so it's natural that Reimi doesn't have her old memories. Noting how Reimi looked depressed after what Rohan said, George asks the manga artist if he ever felt the fear of forgetting what he lived through. Rohan denies by saying he's thrown his whole life into drawing manga so there's nothing frightening about it to him. Koji and the Nijimura twins scold Rohan for his rudeness to Reimi, leading Rohan to finally realize his thoughtlessness. Rohan apologizes and says that he's not trying to be conceited but he just expects too much from people. The Nijimura twins and Koji laugh about his arrogance. George interrupts their banter and explains that he doesn't think Reimi evolved because a Stand forgetting their User would be a problem. Rather, he believes that something traumatic happened and Reimi was inflicted with a [[Wound]].
 
Rohan stays in Morioh to make a report on the strange phenomena appearing in town due to the enemy messing with the space time continuum. At one point, the heroes consult it, but then they find themselves unable to cross a light rift which only permits some to enter.
George explains his final deductions to everyone. Meanwhile, NYPD Blue and Abbacchio notice that Diavolo's pages from Heaven's Door were not in order; his body only had odd pages, meaning that Diavolo had an alternate personality and someone else had the even pages. Rohan discloses that he used Heaven's Door on everybody except Giorno who could already speak Japanese and Italian, and Doppio, since he arrived late. They notice that Doppio is no longer with them so Muryotaisu summons Grand Blue to go find him. The dolphins quickly retrieve him from Cube House below the study, where he angrily points out that he was on the phone. Rohan was suspicious of Doppio from the beginning because of the crazy things he had been saying. However, Heaven's Door reveals that Doppio has both odd and even-numbered pages, so he is a normal person who is just a bit peculiar.
 
Eventually, DIO springs a trap and Rohan is among the 36 souls that DIO absorbs to attain even greater power. Fortunately, Jotaro manages to defeat DIO once and for all, altering fate for the better.
{{JJ|Enrico Pucci|t=2}} arrives and reveals himself as Diavolo and Kira's killers, but Giorno quickly defeats him with [[Gold Experience Requiem]]. With Giorno off guard, Rohan uses Heaven's Door on him. They verify that his body has the even-numbered pages. Giorno finally reveals his betrayal and appears in Diavolo's body after healing it. The gangsters and the Japanese group try protecting George but they are all easily defeated by Diavolo, who kidnaps George and jumps into Cube House.<ref name="JORGE15">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 15}}</ref> In the end, Rohan assists Bucciarati's gang with Jorge's requests.<ref name="JORGE16">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 16}}</ref>
