Nobuo is a kind and caring guy, willing to stand up for people he cares for and for what he believes is right. When Takumi insulted Hachi, Nobu was disgusted by Takumi's behavior. Of course, Nobu has his own insecurities. His confidence constantly suffers from his short stature (167 cm), as it's often perceived as not cool.
