Nobutaka Osanai

Nobutaka Osanai (長内 信高,) is the former 8th Moebius president.

Appearance
In his teenage years, Osanai had the standard bleached delinquent pompadour. He had narrow and menacing eyes and sported a smirk as his standard expression. His prominent feature is a diagonal scar across his forehead. He wore a standard Moebius uniform.

In the present, Osanai's hair goes back to its natural black color. His eyes become more mellow and he is missing some teeth. He puts on weight and develops a hunchback. Due to his job as a construction worker, he wears the uniform of his profession.

Moebius Arc
Hearing that Tokyo Manji Gang is looking for a fight, Nobutaka finds Mikey and few other members and mocks them for being younger. Pah-chin gets angry, but Nobutaka easily beats him and then calls his gang who surround the Toman members.

In the present, with Ken Ryuguji's death, Nobutaka's life has turned bad and he works as a construction worker. After being late for work and scolded again, Takemichi Hanagaki and Naoto Tachibana find him and wish to talk with him. After explaining they are there to talk about Toman's fight 12 years ago, Nobutaka initially refuses to talk, but denies Naoto's accusations that he ordered Ken's death. Shaken, Nobutaka reveals that all was planned and he used as the incident led to Toman's internal conflict. Before leaving, he reveals that he wished Ken to not have died as that ruined his life.

Fighting Prowess
Osanai, in his heyday, was a very competent fighter. He led Moebius through sheer might and fear alone, hinting that he was the strongest in the gang at the time. He was able to easily defeat Pa-chin, whose skills were even lauded by Draken. Although strong, he still fell to Mikey in a single blow and was effortlessly subdued by Draken.
