Old Monk

Manga Debut: Chapter 334: Rohan Kishibe's Adventure, Part 5
Anime Debut: Diamond is Unbreakable Episode 17: Rohan Kishibe's Adventure
Voice Actor: Tarō Kiuchi (Japanese), Chris Smith (English)

When Rohan Kishibe visits Reimi Sugimoto's and her family's grave, he runs into an old monk who is thrilled to see Rohan come back to his hometown. The priest says his grandchildren collects all of Rohan's manga and he reads it as well. Rohan is confused as to how the man seems to personally know him, so the monk tells him about his past connection to Reimi. According to the monk, Rohan's parents were close friends with Reimi's parents so they asked the Sugimotos to babysit Rohan when he was a four-year-old. At some point that night, Reimi tossed the young Rohan out a window so he wouldn't be murdered by the serial killer in her house.

The mention of his grandchildren liking Rohan's manga and his reading of it is omitted from the anime.

Rohan's Parents

Anime Debut: Diamond is Unbreakable Episode 17: Rohan Kishibe's Adventure (Mentioned only)

The parents of Rohan Kishibe. They were close friends with the Sugimotos, as their house was near the home of Reimi Sugimoto and her parents. On August 13, 1983, they had to leave to attend to urgent business, so they left a four-year-old Rohan with the Sugimotos at their home to babysit him overnight. After a serial killer kills the family, Rohan's parents keep the incident a secret from him. When Rohan visits the Sugimoto family grave to confirm Reimi's story, a monk there tells Rohan of his past connection to Reimi. The monk is apprehensive at first, questioning if it's his place to say because he realizes Rohan's parents hadn't told him and understands why they didn't.
