**Nanami Kensaku** (七海検索 *Nanami Kensaku*) is the 13nth heir of KENsakU, a prestigious and well-known company that builds and sells electronics. KENsakU was given to Nanami by his father after reaching death due to sickness. Nanami is also a detective working alongside the Public Safety Devil Hunter. He is the older brother of Haruki.

As a young boy, Nanami had an opposite life than Haruki, due to his intelligence and being easily-determined and motivated unlike his brother, he always has been the center of attention in his family. He was given all the praise for his intelligence and was said to be a "Perfect Child". Nanami didn't like the compliments at first but soon started to grow with it.

After his father's death, Nanami took the heir of KENsakU. He then joined the Devil Hunters and became a detective, he uses a large Japanese broadsword given to him by his father. It bypasses physical toughness and cuts directly at the soul.

At November 6, 1972, Nanami signed a contract with the Typhoon Devil, enhancing his abilities and making him more strong. His current goal was to beat his brother, Haruki, and kill him.

## Appearance

Nanami is a well-built man with slicked-back black hair and small green eyes. He possesses a sharp face with a thick neck and wide eyebrows. He wears the KENsakU vest but opts not to overlay it the standard company coat. Underneath his vest is the typical white collared shirt and red tie. His ID hangs from his right breast. Nanami's belt is notably different from the other of his workers, and rather than being fitted with several silver frames, has one large, golden buckle in the middle.

## Personality

Nanami is a very prompt man, only doing what he is told. He speaks bluntly and concisely, never mincing his words. He is noticeably emotionally distant, never emoting and never involving himself in anything unless ordered to. He seems to lack an awareness of the world around him, mainly regarding the welfare of others. Meursault often fails to see the importance in other's emotions, failing to mention, or offer a hand when they are visibly stressed. He was quite feared for his intimidating and big appearance, but in the inside, he is the complete opposite of that.

After his younger brother escaped from home, Nanami felt a bit of guilt for Haruki having been abused so much and not having enough attention as a child but also felt angered because he left him. Nanami had a weird obsession with Haruki, he didn't like seeing him leave and being far away from him. As a kid, Nanami treated Haruki like someone he loves very much. He would share his toys with him and play with him, even protecting him from his father's abuse, but at times, Haruki would decline Nanami's kindness and would often scold him about it, which causes a rivalry between the 2.

As time goes on, Nanami learned to let go of Haruki and decided to go on with his life, he met a woman whom he fell in love with and the 2 are a happily married couple, (wife's name is currently not yet announced by the creator). Nanami is gentle with everyone, especially children, he wished to start a family one day, but since he's so busy, he doesn't have time. Even if he looks stern, Nanami has some fatal sides to him, he doesn't like the feeling of death, nor getting injured. That's why he's so careful and observing during battle.

## Relationships

### Haruki

His younger brother whom he used to care deeply about, but after he declined his kindness, the 2 started developing a rivalry. No matter how many times Nanami tried to be nice to Haruki, Haruki would always just push him away and call him "Stupid" or "Dumb". Nanami wanted to satisfy his brother more than his father, he wanted Haruki's attention so bad but it just won't work no matter how many times he showed affection towards him.

After figuring out that Haruki is working with Makima, this angered him, he didn't like when Haruki was near dangerous people, but he realized that he was starting to get obsessed with Haruki again, so he acted like he didn't care. Instead of saving his brother, he started to make a plain to kill him.

### Makima

A fellow rival of Nanami, he always hated Makima. During their 1st encounter, Makima almost hypnotized him with her beauty, Nanami almost fell on her trap but realized it and started to avoid her. Also one of the people he is determined to kill, he hated seeing her and Haruki together, it made him both annoyed and sad. One of the major people that Nanami is focusing on killing.

### Pochita

They didn't interact, but during chapter 302, while Nanami was walking alone to go to the convenience store, he saw a small little chainsaw sticking out, he was confused at first and wanted to check it out but hesitated as he was too nervous or afraid that he might be killed or injured. Nanami walked back home, mind still focusing and thinking of the little chainsaw dog.
