Harusaburo Nanboku
CharacterAn enka singer out of Naruhata whose long-running signature number is a love letter to the ward itself. He surfaces in Vigilantes to take a slot at the rooftop concert celebrating a department store's return from ruin.
Appearance
Brown hair, short and curly, sits above a face in middle age. A purple yukata is his garment of choice.
Personality
Little about him has been established. Affection for his home ward comes through clearly enough, since the song he is best known for was written in its honor.
History
Once the Marukane Department Store finished repairing everything the Instant Villain Ryuichi Gojiyama had wrecked, management marked the reopening with a music event on the roof called Narufest. Harusaburo took a place on the bill and performed "Yearning for Naruhata," the hit that has carried him for years.
Skill as an enka master is his one documented ability, and he sings very well indeed.
