Rohan Kishibe

Koichi Hirose: Even Koichi Hirose, the only person Rohan truly considers a friend, frequently calls him domineering and aggressive, especially when Rohan successfully manipulates Koichi into helping him with his research on several occasions. He even claims that Koichi loves to say his famous catchphrase, "But I refuse" (だが断る, daga kotowaru?). Kishibe has great respect for Koichi, whom he trusts, and at the same time harbors a deep hatred for Josuke.

Okuyasu Nijimura: Okuyasu Nijimura is an impulsive and violent boy, but he also has a kind heart and has proven to be a loyal and reliable person. The word that best describes him might be "childish," as he possesses several traits that suggest a certain immaturity. He is a very extroverted boy and gets carried away, acting, in his own words, "with his heart." Although Rohan would later return as an ally, Okuyasu remained with him in slight disdain.

Jotaro Kujo: Jotaro and Rohan appear to have a relationship based on mutual respect. Rohan seems to regard Jotaro as an expert, and Jotaro trusts Rohan despite their past relationship. They have demonstrated their ability to work together, such as in the final battle against Kira when they are trapped in the time loop. Rohan also has Jotaro's hotel room number written in his address book, implying that they have been in contact beforehand for other purposes.

Josuke Higashikata: The two have an ally-nemesis relationship. Although Josuke is younger and has a proud, lively personality, behaving like any other teenager, Rohan harbors a lifelong hatred for him. When they first met, Josuke assaulted Rohan for mentioning his hair in a negative way. Rohan tried to exploit Josuke's sensitivity about his hair by forcing him to open his eyes and become subject to the Heaven's Door ability, but this backfired when Josuke's anger prevented him from recognizing Heaven's Door in the manga, leading him to punch and shove Rohan without restraint. But as the story progressed, the two became allies, even though they didn't interact much. Josuke is perceptive, confident, and brave, possessing considerable fluid intelligence and a will to win, just like his father, Jonathan Joestar.

Staff Skill and Linework: Rohan is an exceptionally talented artist; if he so chooses, he is capable of completing high-quality manga pages at superhuman speed. He can draw competently without using preliminary construction lines and apply precise shading simply by flicking drops of ink with his fountain pen. Such is his speed that he is able to complete 19 pages in four days,[6] a feat he can easily surpass, as demonstrated when he was still able to meet the deadline for his manga during the accelerated time applied by Made in Heaven.[7]

Others In Kishibe Rohan Gucci and Iku, Rohan inherits his late grandmother's Gucci handbag, which has a Stand that allows its owner to hide items to be retrieved again when needed.

Skills Stand Main article: Heaven's Door Heaven's Door allows Rohan to transform people into "human" books, with written pages peeling away from their bodies. These pages contain detailed information about that person, including their biological characteristics, history, personality, and even details of their Stand and abilities.

Rohan's Stand, Heaven's Door, was acquired when he was shot with the Arrow, and its nature likely originated from his zeal for drawing manga. Rohan states that convincing manga requires a quality that can only be drawn from reality, both because of its sensory variety and the depth of experience that human beings accumulate.[6]

He doesn't socialize much, finding most people "incompatible with his personality" (especially Josuke, whom he dislikes intensely). Even Koichi Hirose, the only person Rohan truly considers a friend, frequently calls him domineering and aggressive, particularly after Rohan successfully manipulates Koichi into helping him with his research on several occasions. He even claims to love using his famous catchphrase, "But I refuse" (だが断る, daga kotowaru?), on those he considers overly self-important. Rohan is also adept at psychological mind tricks. He tends to mask his true feelings with arrogance, though he is not without his sincere moments, as seen when he bids farewell to Reimi Sugimoto's ghost.

Because he's so successful at his job, he has a lot of money—something evident from his multi-million yen house and the Gucci watch he wears. However, he points out that he was never interested in gaining fame and fortune. His only passion is creating manga, and he goes to great lengths during his research to make his work feel as "realistic" as possible, at one point spending his entire fortune to buy a bunch of mountains where he heard a demon resided, causing him to have to spend his time at Koichi's house until he received his next paycheck.

He is eccentric in his mannerisms, and one might even say slightly childish. Although he acts indifferent to the affairs of others, he believes in the forces of good, making him a valuable ally in the pursuit of Yoshikage Kira—especially after hearing Reimi's tragic story, in which he is directly involved.

His Part 9 self possibly has the same personality as the original.

Personality Do you think the great Kishibe Rohan draws comics because he wants money? I draw comics because "I WANT TO BE READ"! That's the only reason. I wouldn't care about anything else! -Rohan Kishibe

Rohan is acutely aware of his superhuman abilities and his success as a manga artist, and as a result, his attitude towards others is often perceived as arrogant. This borders on narcissistic personality disorder, as Rohan generally looks down on everyone in one way or another and genuinely believes there is no one on Earth greater than him, even going so far as to refer to himself in the third person on several occasions as "the great Rohan Kishibe." He doesn't take criticism well and has a deep-seated need to constantly create compelling chapters for his manga, fearing he will be forgotten if he doesn't.
