Nakano is an arms dealer in present-day Tokyo, Japan from the Eternal Champions series. Founder of Nakano Industries, Nakano is suggested to be responsible for the rise of global warfare utilising stolen Bio-Key technology and may be largely responsible for the creation of The Overlord.

History[]

By 1994, Nakano had become one of the biggest names in weaponry, yet he still wasn't happy. The arms dealer wished to make his name known forever in global warfare. Nakano employed Tashida to infiltrate the government and steal plans related to their Bio-Key project. The mission was a success and Nakano now had a start on the software. However, his plans were scuppered when the nine Eternal Champions arrived from the future to put a stop to the research. More annoyed than scared, Nakano fled to his headquarters with renewed interest in the project; if nine warriors from the future were here to put a stop to the plans, did this mean he was successful eventually?

Nakano captured Shadow Yamoto, Jonathan Blade and Slash and used a Brain Scanner to determine the extent of their mission. Frustrated by their lack of knowledge or ability to block the interrogation, Nakano ordered a scientist to increase the power, not caring whether or not it killed them. Unfortunately for him, Slash managed to break out of the computer, so Nakano fled further into his base. He was next seen at the helm of a Bio-Keyed mecha, revealing to the heroes that his vision had become complete. Nakano could launch missiles with a single thought on activate defences with a glance, proving the Champions highly ineffective. However, his boasts of war angered Trident, leading to a one-on-one conflict. Nakano attempted to flee into the ocean, but the former resident of Atlantis followed him and destroyed the mecha, seemingly killing the villain. Once the heroes had returned to Fortress Eternity, a badly wounded Nakano emerged from the oecan.

Some time later, Nakano returned to his work, now with one eye and in a wheelchair. He had found a Bio-Keyed cyber gun in the ocean (brought and used by Trident), allowing him to renew his work on his research. Despite the efforts of the Eternal Champions, Nakano's name would almost certainly still go down in infamy.
