Rohan Kishibe is a fictional character from the Japanese manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It is likely that he's a self-insert of Hirohiko Araki

Story

Rohan is a mangaka in the Jojo world and an important character to the plot overall. He first appears as an antagonist [much like half the cast] to Koichi and Toshizaku when they go to his house for an autograph. After they try to sneak a peek of the new issue of his manga he uses his stand Heaven's Door to make neither of them able to attack him. Then he reads their memories and in doing so finds out about Josuke, Okuyasu and everyone else in the story so far, but only according to how Koichi sees them. Then he decides to use them as materials for his manga. After using Koichi as his personal "inspiration" Okuyasu and Josuke find out about where Koichi has been going by following him. They Defeat him and leave him in the hospital for a while.

Trivia

  • There are several parallels between Rohan and Hirohiko Araki – one of the most interesting one is that Hirohiko Araki himself claimed that his favorite character is Josuke, while Rohan has an unparalleled hate to him.
  • As if to signalize his occupation as a mangaka, he has a pen nib theme as a part of his fashionable identity. He wears pen nib earrings, buttons shaped like pen nibs and other pen nib shapes incorporated into his extensive wardrobe.
  • In the Japanese dialog he uses the polite type of speech usually used by young boys.
  • The magazine in which his manga is serialized in is Weekly Shounen Jump, the same magazine in which the JJBA series ran in (before moving to another).
