Satoru Nakae (中江 悟, Nakae Satoru) is a tertiary character featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable. During the investigation, Hayato Kawajiri witnessed him and his girlfriend Minako Okura being killed by Yoshikage Kira.
Appearance
Satoru is a tall 22 year old man of muscular build. He is a third-year student at S-City M Community College,[1] sporting a buzz cut and his attire consists of a long sleeve, striped crop-top shirt, baggy pants, circular earrings and glasses.
Color Schemes
Personality
Satoru, much like his girlfriend, is seemingly quite rude and quick to make bold assumptions about others. He and his girlfriend, Minako Okura, are quick to assume Kira is a thief despite the latter merely pushing Minako's bag off his lap. They are also willing to quickly shift blame onto Kira for them bumping into him despite their carelessness being the cause. Despite their attitude, they're both intimate with each-other as a happy couple.[2]
History
Diamond is Unbreakable
Satoru Nakae is introduced as a young man who is seen riding the train Kira takes home from work, being complained to by his girlfriend Minako Okura, about her supposedly overbearing father. As she tells the story enthusiastically to her boyfriend, they are unaware that Kira is sitting next to them, trying to control his killer instincts. Bothered by her bag being on top of his leg, Kira pushes it away, prompting the couple into accusing him of trying to steal it.
As they get off the train, Satoru and Kira bump into each other, knocking Kira's belongings to the ground. Satoru yells at Kira again, and he and Minako proceed to mock his bowling pin nail clippers. Tired of the repeated confrontations, Kira follows the couple home.
Entering their apartment, Satoru promises to Minako that he'll buy her a new pair of earrings. Just then, Kira barges into their apartment, blowing up a surprised Satoru instantly with Killer Queen, and doing the same to his girlfriend (but not before hanging her boyfriend's ears on her own).[2] Unbeknownst to Kira, Hayato was recording the whole scene with a camera.[3]
Jotaro Kujo visits Satoru and Minako's apartment during his investigation of reported missing people soon after Kira leaves. At the crime scene, he finds Minako's bag and traces of Satoru's blood.[1]
The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp
A year after the events of Diamond is Unbreakable, Kaoru and his mother move into the same apartment that Minako and Satoru were murdered in.
