Kouta Nakanishi (Japanese:
Appearance[]
Nakanishi has wavy, neck length green hair and green eyes. He usually wears his uniform purple suit and a Copotain hat which he hides his birds in.
Personality[]
Nakanishi is terrible with money, as shown when he spent 1 million yen on a trick box. He is also demonstrated to be very determined and hard-working as when shown that all his efforts were to win back his ex-wife Nendou Midori. At one point, Midori kicked him in the gut to reclaim his bank card after hearing his intentions to spend a large sum on something friviolous.
Background[]
Kouta used to be a businessman but got fired after he made a mistake. While drowning his sorrows in a cafe, he was approached by a waitress named Midori. She cheered him up, and he decided to get back out there. He continued to see Midori, the two got married, and he became Nendou Riki's stepfather in the process. However, their marriage hit a rough patch and she divorced him soon after.
History[]
He's a homeless magician who first appeared playing tricks in the street with his partner Michael. Chouno goes back and forth between being homeless and unemployed and being a semi-successful magician. Saiki helps him out every once and a while on a whim but doesn’t think very highly of him. Chouno has seen some of Saiki's powers, but misinterprets them as stage magic. Because of this, he treats Saiki like a veteran illusionist and even calls him "master". When he was at his most successful, Chouno had a weird comedy magic act going on.
Trivia[]
- He used to work at a very famous publishing company.
- His catchphrase is “Amazing!”
- Nakanishi Kouta (中西 宏太) -> Naka ni Shikonda -> hidden within (ie- like hidden up a magician’s sleeve)
- His stage name is a pun on "supernatural power" (超能力 chou nouryoku).
- Saiki questioned his sanity at one point, as Kouta'a mental picture of Midori is an attractive woman; rather than an unattractive copy of Nendo.
- He is the only character not disgusted by the looks of the Nendou family.
