===Attempted Abstergo account breach===
In November 2017, the Templar fugitives Thomas Adler and his wife Alice tried to hack Nakamura's Abstergo account to learn more about Project Rainbow, as the access to the intel about the 1943 secret project was reserved to Inner Sanctum members only. However, the Adlers failed to do so and they instead hacked the account of Alan Rikkin, who recently died and whose account was consequently less protected.Assassin's Creed: Conspiracies – Volume 2: Project Rainbow
===Noa Kim's abduction===
In 2023, Nakamura traveled to the Exitus research vessel in Macau, China to oversee the progress of Doctor Shimazu Sei's mission to locate a Piece of Eden found by the British Assassin Edward Kenway. After the Templars identified one of Kenway's descendants, the Korean-American student Noa Kim, through the WhyYou genealogy site, Nakamura authorized his abduction once Noa had been lured to Macau on the pretense of a vacation prize trip.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple - Episode 1
While Noa was forced to relive Kenway's memories in the Animus, Nakamura oversaw the procedure alongside Sei and commented on the high number of desynchronization errors, believing they could become a problem down the line. However, Sei assured her that this was a sign of the test subject being strongly synchronized with the ancestor and that they had taken all the necessary precautions. Nakamura then reminded Sei of the importance of the mission's success before leaving to return to Abstergo's headquarters.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple - Episode 4
==Behind the scenes==
First introduced by name only in Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Mitsuko Nakamura's first appearance in person was as a man despite having a Japanese female given name, in the now non-canonical modern day storyline of the French Assassin's Creed comic series. This alternative version of Nakamura was responsible for giving direct orders to the Templar agent Vernon Hest. Subsequent entries in the franchise reverted to isolated mentions of Nakamura by name until Assassin's Creed: Heresy confirmed that Nakamura was indeed as a woman canonically.
