Unpleasant is an elderly humanoid with a long beard and moustache going to his lower chest, with a long mane going to his lower back. He has dark gray skin like the other Wicked Executives, though the only visible skin is his left hand, as the face has a black shade, only showing his oval-shaped caramel eyes with red sclera. He also sports a pair of horns on the sides of his head. Like his peers, he follows the color scheme of the Wicked Clothing, with a dark purple robe which sports a lighter shade of purple bird-like tattoos on the leg section behind, with a milky pink layer of clothing underneath. He also carries a ebony black staff on his left hand and sports the trademark Wicked flame on top of his head. He was born from Dame Dedtime’s distrust.
In Psychic Specters he can be found and befriended through the quest Unpleasent: Origins, started on the 3rd Floor of Nocturne Hospital, which becomes available after clearing Directator's quest Tamer of Time, which can be started in the stage of Gera Gera Land.

Etymology[]
"Nankai" is a pun on "nankai" (Japanese: 難解,"difficult"), with the latter kanji being replaced by "kai" (Japanese: 怪,"mysterious" or "strange"), which is a part of all Wicked Executives and Wicked Servants' names in Japanese.
"Unpleasant" is taken directly from the English word, and notably starts with "Un-", like all Wicked Executives' names in English.
Trivia[]
Unpleasant is the only Wicked Executive who is absent from the American and European cover art of Psychic Specters.
