Appearance[]
Nishida has short hair and thick eyebrows. He is almost always seen wearing a Majima Construction hard hat, with the exception being during Yakuza Kiwami 2's Majima Saga. He wears both blue and violet dress shirts.
Personality[]
Nishida is deeply loyal to Majima, sending emails for him to Kiryu and helping with Majima Construction along with defusing bombs.

Yakuza 2/Yakuza Kiwami 2: 2006[]
Majima Saga: Nishida helps bring a wheelbarrow full of money to the Tojo Clan Headquarters's boardroom when instructed to do so by his patriarch.
After the Majima Family disbands and Majima Construction is formed, Nishida joins alongside other ex-Majima Family members. Much to Nishida's chagrin, all the advice that Majima offers with regards to running a construction company is to "look shit up on the internet and start building".
Nishida, alongside other members of Majima Construction, aids the Tojo Clan by defusing the Jingweon Mafia's bombs hidden in Tojo-controlled businesses across Tokyo. Nishida is receiving instructions on which wires to cut while defusing an explosive. Much to his horror, Nishida soon realizes that Majima is giving him instructions entirely based on instinct. Nishida speaks about his mother, who lives by herself in the country and would be devastated if anything were to happen to him. In spite of relying entirely on guesswork from their leader, Majima Construction succeeds in disabling all the bombs.
Afterwards, Nishida is seen giving Majima a back massage at the Kamurocho Hills construction site when Majima informs Kazuma Kiryu about the success of his bomb disposal. Later, Nishida and Majima wait outside Kamurocho Hills for Kiryu to finish his final showdown with Ryuji Goda.

Worried for Majima's safety, Nishida goes to Nele Island with Daisaku Minami.

Notes[]
- ↑ Nishida's listed age for Yakuza 5 is 26 due to him only appearing in the 2010 flashback. Had he appeared in the game's "present" time period, his age would be 28.
- ↑ The given height of 177 cm (5′ 10″) is based on the character model's scaling factor within Yakuza Kiwami 2's data.[2] For Dragon Engine games, this method is believed to be very accurate (±2 cm). However, this is intended as an estimate, not a substitute for an official statistic.
