"The president. She frightens me sometimes. She'll manipulate her children in any way if it will help the business. To her, her children are just more assets."
—Nishida talks about his boss[src]

Nishida (西田 (にしだ) ) was the personal secretary of Kaede Domyoji, president of Domyoji Group. He frequently traveled between New York City and Japan to complete Kaede's orders.

Nishida makes a report to Kaede

Kaede: "Nishida, wipe that stupid grin off your face. Hurry up and get me the documents for tomorrow's meeting."
Nishida: "Yes, ma'am."
— Nishida smiles when Kaede leaves Tsukasa and Tsukushi alone[src]

Nishida traveled to Japan with his boss for the birthday of her son, Tsukasa. An incident occurred which required Nishida to do research on Tsukushi Makino, whom was involved with Tsukasa. He reported his findings to Kaede within a few hours. She then declared that she must put her plan into action.[1] He asked her if she meant the plan for after Tsukasa's graduation. She told him "I won't allow [the Domyoji fortune] to be destroyed by Tsukasa's whims." Nishida later told a coworker that Kaede frightened due to the way she manipulated her children for business.[2] In the morning, he accompanied Kaede to Tsukushi's house. She attempted to pay off her family but Tsukushi's mother rejected the offer.[3] The next night, Nishida delivered a letter to Tsukushi from Kaede. He then escorted her to The Maple Hotel.[4]

A few days later, Nishida reported to Kaede that Tsukasa and his arranged fiancée Shigeru Okawahara were meeting two to three times a week. When she asked about Tsukushi, he revealed that Shigeru was regularly meeting her.[5] After the engagement was broken, Nishida likely followed Kaede to London for her business trip.[6] He returned with her several days later. When she came home, she discovered that Tsukasa was involved with Tsukushi again.[7] She had Nishida gather information on Tsukushi's friends, Yuki Matsuoka and Kazuya Aoike. It was used to hurt Tsukushi by putting her friends in dire financial straits. Nishida arranged it all in three hours.[8] The same day, Nishida watched Tsukushi approach the house and announced it to Kaede. She asked him to leave the room while she spoke to Tsukushi.[9]

Kaede wanted a contingency plan to keep Tsukasa and Tsukushi apart. Nishida was ordered by her to offer a deal to Amon Kunisawa, who looked strikingly similar to Tsukasa. He accepted the offer.[10] Sometime later, Amon called Nishida to tell him that he and Tsukushi were a couple. He also reiterated that he did not want any money.[11] A few days later, Nishida gave Kaede a report he received from the Domyojis' secret police whom were tasked with watching Tsukasa and Tsukushi.[12] Sometime later, Nishida congratulated Kaede on her negotiations with another company. She walked pass him without saying anything.[13] Later, when Tsukasa was injured and taken to the hospital, Nishida went to Japan with Kaede. He grinned when Kaede finally decided to leave Tsukasa and Tsukushi alone.[14]

Physical appearance[]

Nishida was unassuming man with no particularly distinguishable features. He had had short black hair, which he slicked back with some sort of hair product. Nishida was never seen not wearing a suit, which was likely his uniform.

Personality and traits[]

He was a loyal employee to Kaede, always following her orders perfectly. However, he displayed some hesitancy at the orders regarding her children. Nishida was frightened by the way Kaede seemed to treat her children as "more assets." Nevertheless, he followed through with the orders without giving his opinion. Nishida was happy when Kaede decided to let Tsukasa and Tsukushi be together.

Etymology[]

Nishida (西田; にしだ) contains two kanji. The first translates to "west" or "Europe"[16] and the second "paddy" or "field."[17] Due to rendaku, (田) is read as da instead of ta.
