Nobutaka Osanai

Nobutaka Osanai (長内 信高) was Moebius's eighth leader.

Appearance
In his teenage years, Osanai sports the standard bleached delinquent pompadour. He has narrow and menacing eyes and sports a smirk as his standard expression. His prominent feature is a diagonal scar across his forehead. He wears the traditional Moebius uniform. On the left sleeve there are the words "Eighth generation president" (八 代 目 総 長)

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.

Personality
As a teenager, Osanai is brusque and violent. He looks down on other delinquents not in his gang and is highly confident in his fighting abilities. He is also quite dim-witted, easily getting manipulated by Tetta Kisaki to do his bidding.

After suffering from life as an adult, Osanai has become a shell of his former self. He turns into a meek and mild-mannered man who apologizes for anything he does and easily gets startled.

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 Pah-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.
