Kazuo Nakano

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kazuo Nakano (中野和雄, Nakano Kazuo?) is a character in Yudetamago's manga series Kinnikuman. He was a parody of the assistant editor of Weekly Shonen Jump at that time. He is usually referred to as Nakano-san (中野さん?) and typically refers to himself as "Aderans" Nakano-san (アデランスの中野さん, Aderansu no Nakano-san?) (Aderans is a maker of wigs).

[edit] About

Nakano-san is a short, middle-aged man who appears frequently throughout Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Nisei. He is an odd little man who will often skip work in order to see a wrestling match and sometimes tries to get involved in the fight (though he is always knocked away in the next panel). For really big matches, he has been known to sell his wife in order to afford a ticket. Nakano-san is generally viewed as an idiot and a nuisance, although he'll usually be the first to laugh at Kinnikuman's stupidity. In earlier chapters, he seems to like gyuudon as much as Kinnikuman, preferring it served as saranami (meat and rice served separate). He serves as the Color commentator in the anime and in Kinnikuman Nisei. (more to come)
