Koichi Hirose (広瀬 康一, Hirose Kōichi) 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 changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
In the English localization of the game, the name of Koichi's Stand, Echoes, is localized as "Reverb", the same name used in the original All-Star Battle.
Yuki Kaji reprises his role from the Diamond is Unbreakable anime, replacing Romi Park. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Koichi were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Koichi has 900 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Echoes, dynamically changing his moveset in the process.
This section requires expansion.

Of note is that this skill will not lose its Middle-hitting property when Stand-Rushed, allowing Koichi himself to assail a defending opponent with crouching normals while ACT3 simultaneously attacks from above, resulting a high-low offense that is difficult to defend against.
Attack type: Middle
Damage: 7 × 6 + 25 (67) / 7 × 7 + 30 (79) / 7 × 8 + 35 (91)
Attack type: Unblockable
Attack type: Throw
Damage: 100
This HHA deals considerable Guard Gauge damage, dealing about half the Gauge, making it very easy for Koichi to get guard breaks if he so desires.
If this HHA hits Yoshikage Kira's GHA, Sheer Heart Attack, it will cause both it and Kira to be affected by 3 Freeze, causing SHA to slow down, use a unique voice line, and Kira to perform a special animation where he holds his hand while crouching.
Attack type: High
Damage: 5 × 14 + 120 (190)
This GHA inflicts the 3 Freeze effect for 5 seconds.
Due to how high ACT1 is when it throws the sound effect, this GHA will miss against crouching and short opponents when used point blank.
Attack type: High
Damage: 318 / 381 / 477 (depending on HH gauge)
Attack type: Middle
Damage: 91
