Nakamura bears a one-sided crush on Hirose and is always aspiring to get closer to him. During the beginning of the story, Nakamura is very self-conscious around Hirose, fearing that Hirose will avoid him if he makes some sort of mistake. Due to this, he hides a lot about himself such as how he loves octopus and how he likes reading BL books. Nonetheless, he cares a lot about Hirose, worrying when he had a stomach and risking his life to protect Hirose from the delinquents.

Nakamura admires Hirose quite a lot, perhaps to the point of obsession. When drawing him, Nakamura carefully observes every part of Hirose, claiming how attractive he is. Nakamura is also seen observing Hirose often from a distance and is very jealous of his friends for being close to Hirose.

During Nakamura's time as a grade-schooler, he had already developed his love for octopuses and is seen admiring them for their unique traits. This was met by judgment from his peers and was most likely one of many reasons why he did not have any friends due to their views. He was also shy and clumsy when young, as seen in a flashback where a teacher picked up a lost underwear and asked whom it belonged to. Out of embarrassment, Nakamura couldn't say that the underwear was his.
During the high school entrance ceremony was the first time Nakamura lay his eyes on Hirose. Falling in love at first sight, Nakamura sits in the corner of class observing Hirose and learning about his hobbies by eavesdropping. After many months, Nakamura begins to take action in the hopes of becoming friends with Hirose. This would eventually lead to him encountering various people in his school indirectly helping in his goal and having Nakamura miraculously getting closer to Hirose in unexpected ways.

One of Nakamura's major characteristics is his shyness. He struggles to interact with people, to the point where he fails to properly communicate his thoughts despite practicing in his head. Because of this, he tries to avoid social situations and confrontations at all costs due to his fear of being judged and chastised by others. Nakamura displays a lot of insecurity and low self-esteem, talking down to himself quite often for being a "total loser" and not believing that Hirose and him could become friends. This mindset breaks however when Hirose's friends are put in the picture, in which Nakamura sees them as rivals or in Oomori's case, an inferior. This behavior indirectly shows that he can be easily jealous or irritated around people who get in the way between him and Hirose.

Another notable part of Nakamura is his clumsy personality, often getting himself in the comedically embarrassing situations the series is known for, such as when he stepped on Hirose's napkin in an attempt to pick it up for him first.

One unique trait he has is his overwhelming love for octopuses, having multiple figurines of octopuses in his room, and even owning one himself. When developing an interest in BL manga as a way to get love advice, Nakamura takes notes in a very serious manner, treating a work of fiction as a dating guidebook.

Nakamura has short black hair with curled-up bangs that often hide his eyes. He has narrow, monolid eyes with tiny dotted pupils. Nakamura is light-skinned, and he has a slender, tall body.

Nakamura is typically drawn wearing a traditional gakuran or other various types of school uniform, usually all buttoned-up.
