Description
Chairman Nando is the president of the Demon Corporation, a massive and powerful company that seeks to dominate the world through advanced computer technology. He is an anime-original character who appears from the very first episode of the series. Physically, Nando has a distinctive and unusual appearance: he is short in stature, with an abnormally large bald head, a pale white face, and he is consistently dressed in a green suit.
In terms of personality, Chairman Nando possesses a dual nature. As the head of a sinister organization, he is a calculating antagonist who has set his sights on achieving global control using computers. He is also shown to be highly intelligent, as he specifically targets the genius-level intellect of another character, Daimonji Satoru, hoping to use his abilities for his own purposes. However, he also displays a more playful and endearing side; for instance, he affectionately calls his secretary by a nickname. He is also notably poor at playing video games himself, despite frequently challenging others.
Chairman Nando's primary motivation is his ambition for world domination, utilizing the vast resources of the Demon Corporation. His role in the story is that of the main antagonist and a persistent obstacle for the protagonist, Ishino Arashi. This conflict is often driven by Nando's personal desire to steal Arashi's most prized possession, his Invader cap, which he repeatedly challenges Arashi to win in gaming competitions.
Key relationships define his position in the series. His most immediate subordinate is Erika, his beautiful secretary who also serves as a skilled programmer. Erika is a master of disguise, often using this talent to assume various identities and directly oppose Arashi and his friends on behalf of her boss. Chairman Nando also has a significant connection to Daimonji Satoru, a wealthy and athletic genius who supports Arashi. Because of Satoru's intelligence, Nando seeks to capture and exploit him for his own evil schemes.
Regarding his development, he is established as a central antagonist from the beginning. One of his notable abilities, aside from his corporate power, is his skill at disguise, though this is a trait more frequently demonstrated by his secretary, Erika. While he is clever and manipulative, he is notably unskilled in actual video game play, which is a significant weakness when he personally confronts the protagonist.
