Okuyasu Nijimura (虹村 億泰, Nijimura Okuyasu) 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.
Being Okuyasu's one and only voice actor, debuting in Ultra Jump CM and later voicing Okuyasu in All-Star Battle and the Diamond is Unbreakable anime adaptation, Wataru Takagi reprises his role in this game as well. As with a majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Okuyasu were either added or re-recorded.
Okuyasu has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with The Hand. During a fight, he can use various moves from his appearance in Diamond is Unbreakable.

The Hand charges a large amount of its power into its right hand before wiping out an extremely wide area in front of Okuyasu with a downwards strike, dealing heavy unblockable damage that knocks the opponent down. This HHA also has a vacuum effect that is determined by whether or not The Hand is active when executed:
User Mode: Okuyasu will teleport straight above after the strike.
Stand Mode: The opponent will be pulled towards Okuyasu after the strike.
The attack executes slowly to offset its unblockable nature, but can strike downed opponents as well as be delayed for a few seconds with a held input. Its massive horizontal range allows it to easily hit opponents who attempt to Dodge out of the way of the attack.
Attack type: Unblockable Damage: 158
All this thinking is hurting my brain!
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND
Furious at the opponent for making him think harder than he has to, Okuyasu sends The Hand out to aggressively strike them with its right hand. If it connects, The Hand begins repeatedly attacking the opponent with its power using swipes at different angles, slowly erasing them from existence. Charging up for a final swipe, The Hand then eliminates the opponent completely as Okuyasu satisfyingly grins. Suddenly, a random flowerpot flies from out of nowhere due to The Hand's vacuum effect and strikes Okuyasu square in the face, knocking him backwards and inflicting a small amount of silver damage (making him the only character in the game who can damage himself with his own GHA). The opponent reappears at the same time and is sent flying. The silver damage is incapable of KO'ing Okuyasu, and he may regenerate the lost health over time, but only if he does not receive damage again during the process.
A two-stock assist. Okuyasu lands in and summons The Hand to erase space with three successive swipes close to the ground while advancing forward. He then dismisses his Stand before posing and jumping back off-screen.
