Nobuteru Taniguchi

 "I hate to lose" -Nobuteru Taniguchi's motto.

Nobuteru Taniguchi is a Wanderer in the events of Shutokou Battle 01. He is based off his real life self, and drives his own unique car: The Nissan NOB Silvia S15.

Basic Profile
"He hates losng in a big way. He will never recognize a loss and he will only challenge an opponent against whom he thinks he can win. He takes care not to approach cars that are obviously tuned machines"

Vehicle Profile
"He has arrived at his current driving style after extensive research of various styles. However, if he thinks he is going to lose, he flings everything away and transforms into a crazed driving style."

Trivia

 * Although the NOB Silvia appears in the following Kaido Battle games (Although not playable in the first), Taniguchi himself does not make an appearance.
 * He does not appear in Shutokō Battle, therefore it is impossible to say for sure what Taniguchi's age is. Presumably it would be 32, as this was his age back in 2003.
