Josuke Higashikata (東方 定助, Higashikata Jōsuke) 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 tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought.
As Josuke's voice actor since All-Star Battle, Mitsuaki Madono reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Josuke were either added or re-recorded.
Josuke has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Soft & Wet. As Jojolion was not complete at the time of All-Star Battle's release, and All-Star Battle R did not update his moveset to reflect its completion, Josuke can only use moves from his appearance in the first few chapters of JoJolion.
