Professor Nakayama is the primary antagonist of Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt, the 3rd DLC campaign for Borderlands 2. A wiry mad scientist with a bad combover and a shrill voice, he has Eridium crystals sticking out of his body and a large gun over one shoulder.

Obsessed with Handsome Jack and the idea of cloning him; Nakayama has an inflated sense of his own villainy – insisting that he has a reputation as “Hyperion’s Scourge” and begging for the protagonist to come and do battle with him. However, Nakayama is actually shown to be incredibly cowardly and has difficulty keeping control of his own emotions – frequently screaming and shouting in an important rage.

When you finally come to do battle with him, after all of his taunting, Nakayama gloats about his guns, his intelligence and his ship – all of which he will use to defeat yo- Oh, no, wait. He trips and falls down a flight of stairs, killing himself. Talk about taking yourself outta the game!
