A ghost residing at Yakusuni Shrine. He has a shaved head, sharp monolid eyes with dark circles, and a stern expression. He has a gunshot wound on his right cheek. He is surprisingly well-built. His personality is taciturn, calm, stubborn, and prideful. In the military, he was extremely strict with his subordinates, not hesitating to use harsh discipline. On the other hand, he is deeply devoted to his wife and family. Due to being bullied in the past, he has a strong desire not to be a "weakling," which leads to his harshness toward others. During his youth, he was bullied by Hata because his mother had tuberculosis. When his mother died, Hata told him, "You should have died too," prompting Nachi to stab Hata in the left shoulder, causing a serious injury. Because he got his revenge, he considers the matter somewhat settled. He feels disgust toward Hata but isn't particularly obsessed with him. He has been friends with Ise since before they died; they are best friends. He is kind to women. Hata is a former classmate from the same village. Nachi hadn't seen Hata since graduating from higher elementary school (age 14) until they reunited at Yakusuni after death. He has a wife and child, but they died in the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945. (He is currently unable to meet them.) Speech Sample Uses "Washi" for "I" and speaks in a Hiroshima dialect.
