Dr. Nambu runs the International Science Organization, the main force fighting the Gallactor Syndicate's grip on the world. He's best known as the mentor and handler of the Kagaku Ninjatai—the five young operatives he adopted and shaped into elite agents.
An astrophysicist by training, Nambu studied at Harvard and Cambridge and carries the weight of those credentials naturally. His expertise in the field is genuine, though his real power lies in administration and strategy. He's a demanding boss who expects results and won't tolerate failure, and his people know better than to disobey direct orders.
What catches people off-guard is how much tougher he actually is than his appearance suggests. Nambu looks like an aging scholar, but he's mentally sharp and physically capable in ways that become clear when things get serious. Fans often note that he's colder and more ruthless than you'd expect from someone in an academic role—he makes the hard calls without flinching. Despite that, or maybe because of it, he commands genuine respect from everyone under him, including the five young agents who owe everything to his judgment and training.
