Keicho Nijimura (虹村形兆, Nijimura Keichō), along with Bad Company, was confirmed for All-Star Battle R as the third playable DLC character on March 3, 2023,[1] and released on March 24, 2023.[2] For Season Pass and Deluxe Edition Holders, he was announced to release on March 22 for an unspecified time zone but was made available on March 21 PST.[4] Like the rest of the DLC characters, he is included inside the game's Season Pass, and therefore also the Digital Deluxe Edition.[1]
American Launch Times
European Launch Times
For the English versions of the game, Keicho's Stand is localized to be "Worse Company"—a name which has been used since the English dub of the Diamond is Unbreakable anime adaptation and VIZ's English translations of the manga.[5]
Having neither previously appeared in All-Star Battle nor Eyes of Heaven as a playable character, he has an original moveset based on his limited appearance in Diamond is Unbreakable.
Tomoyuki Shimura reprises his role as Keicho's voice actor from the Diamond is Unbreakable anime, with new audio recorded for All-Star Battle R.
Gameplay
Keicho uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Bad Company (バッド・カンパニー, Baddo Konpanī). During a fight, he can use several different attacks of his that were featured in Diamond Is Unbreakable.

Special Interactions
- For his assist attacks, Keicho has special dialogue depending on who summons him. This character is Okuyasu Nijimura, in which Keicho yells his name.
Dialogue
Keicho has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
Due to the availability of certain voice actors, most of these interactions re-use existing dialogue for Keicho's opponents. In this case, only Joseph Joestar, Risotto Nero and Rudol von Stroheim have new dialogue - Joseph because the voice actor returned for his character's "Your next line is..." interaction, Risotto and Stroheim due to the three characters being DLC released close to each other.
Match Entrance- “It feels so good when they're so beautifully together. (美しくそろっているのは気分のいいものだなァ～～っ)”—Default dialogue

殺 さなきゃあならなくなった)”—Keicho - “It seems you had the aptitude to be a Stand user. Make your Stand appear right now, and show me what it can do. (「スタンド」の素質があったようだな……どんなスタンド能力か今…そこで発現させてみろ……！)”—Keicho
