Rohan Kishibe's grandmother

Her name is never revealed, and the stories offer few firm details about her looks, presenting her simply as an aged Japanese woman. She is most vividly shown not as herself but as a spectral figure amid a ghostly mob that assaults Rohan at the Louvre.

By Rohan's account she led a contented life beside her husband as co-owner of their inn. She ran the place by an exacting code, imposing a long list of prohibitions on tenants: no smoking, animals, cooking, instruments, personal furniture, hairdryers, or motorcycles, with couples and children barred and the doors locked by ten at night. She also appears to have grasped something of Stands, or at least of how her Gucci bag's power worked.

Little is documented about her early years beyond her role as co-owner of an old inn in the S City quarter of Morioh, a place Rohan cherished for its calm and its hot-spring water. Once her husband passed, she shut the inn down and began leasing its rooms out by the year. In Rohan at the Louvre she takes in Nanase Kishibe as a guest and asks Rohan to keep watch over her, and she later seems to haunt him at the museum, though this apparition proves to be a creation of Nizaemon Yamamura's cursed painting, shaped from Rohan's own memory. The one-shot Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci later names her as the earlier owner of the Stand-holding Gucci bag she passed to Rohan, by which point she has died, around 2005.
