Nakahara was once the mentor of Joe Musashi, but he had another persona; the Masked Ninja in charge of the Zeed Crime Syndicate. He had his soldiers kidnapped the children of the Oboro Ninja School, prompting Joe to save them. His plan was to send the world back into war, so that the Ninja could have a second chance at glory, but he was defeated by Joe.
