Appearance
Nangou is an old man, with a largely bald head, with some white hair.

Personality
Nangou is a lighthearted person, who often isn't too serious. He is also very wise, as he has gained much knowledge during his long life.

History
Nangou is a war veteran, having fought in World War 2, much like his friend and rival, Ryoma and is as famed as the former. He received the nickname "Flawless" by remaining unscathed during the fierce battles of the southern front. He is also the master of Nene Saikyo, Tohka Todo and Momiji Asagi, teaching them the Trackless Step.

He also participated and won the God of War Tournament, gaining his nickname. He is to this date the only Japanese winner. He also spectated the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival final between his own pupil Nene and Kurono Shinguuji and was the one to tell them about Desperados, along with Ryoma.

Siege, Reunion and Trap
Nangou showed up to the fight between Ikki and Tohka, spectating from the area where Kurono and Nene were. After the match, he commented on Ikki's intensity, having stated that Ikki looked like his old friend and rival Ryoma, during his match against Tohka.

Training Camp and Scheme
Nangou is asked by the Kyomon Academy to act as the special coach for Ikki after the latter defeated all the previous coaches.

After the training camp is over, Nangou finds Kagami tied up in a cabin, where she was trapped by Nagi Arisuin. Nangou helps Kagami to get free, as she then quickly informs the Hagun Academy students of Nagi's betrayal.

Abilities
Desperado: Nangou is a Desperado, a person that has broken the chains of fate. As a Desperado he has far greater magic power than an average Blazer.

Trackless Step: A technique that combines the user's breath control and footwork at the same time to decrease the distance from the user and the target in an instant. Nangou later passes down this technique to his three disciples.

Master Swordsmanship: Nangou is an extremely skilled swordsman, being the person who taught Tohka Todo all her swordsmanship skills.
 * Otogiri (音切): Nangou's signature technique, from which Tohka derived her Raikiri.
 * Kenkyoku · Tsurugi no Mai (lit. "Sword Music · Dance of the Sword"): Nangou's boasted technique. It allows him to endure the enemy attacks until the threat passes by receiving the attacks infinitely with a soft defense and rotating their body as of dancing in order to repel the impact of the attacks. Nene calls it octopus-like dancing.
