Ataru Nakamura

Ataru Nakamura is infamous as one of the deadliest assassins in Japan, able to turn anything into a lethal weapon. However, it turns out that he is merely a con man, with no particular fighting skills.

Grace went undercover as his bodyguard. Nakamura was hired by Gordon Ganza to assassinate someone, and Grace was to find out who the target was. Before she could find out Nakamura tried to leave the country on an airplane, leaving Grace behind. Amy, Sammo, and Terrell arrest him at the airport, where he is exposed as a fraud.

It turns out that Nakamura became famous as an assassin because he was hiding in a kitchen in Japan. Yakuza gangsters made him serve poisonous fugu blowfish to their rivals. Through his actions, Nakamura made an enemy in the Yakuza leader Anakadai.

In order to save himself, Nakamura helps the LAPD to bring down Ganza and the other gangsters. He seems to have a crush on Grace, and jumps in front of a shuriken star that was meant for her.

Nakamura is played by Byron Mann.
