History[]
Nagumo's early life and adolescent is currently unknown, but he comes from a family of spies who have been in the intelligence world for generations. [1]
JCC Days[]
When he was old enough, Nagumo enrolled in the Japan Clear Creation of the Japanese Association of Assassins. He was originally in the Spy department because of his family's long roots in spying but transferred to the Assassin department as it looked more fun. While attending, Nagumo met Taro Sakamoto and Rion Akao, who wanted to jump him by picking a fight. Nagumo became close with the two students as they became inseparable and well-known troublemakers together.

He also met Boiled a hardboiled student with attitude but dorky sense of style as the two became friends through Sakamoto, a senior student named Hyo and his teachers Etsuko Satoda, a retired assassin famous for her martial arts and Yamada, the vice principal who found his, Rion, and Sakamoto's antics continually frustrating.

Nagumo, Sakamoto, and Rion regularly got into trouble together, causing even more problems during a field trip/paintball game. Sick of all the mayhem that the trio caused, Yamada decides to expel all three of them as they damaged faculties, ignored class rules, used weapons without permission, etc. which made them infamous in the school[2] and didn't have enough credits to pass anyway.
But the vice principle arranged for an extra assignment that would determine whether they could pass that year which was advocated for making special exception from their teacher Satoda. The assignment - kill the target in the envelope. Casually accepting it, the trio left the office not aware of the true intentions of the assignment.
While deciding on who gets to do the homework for the mission, Rion bumps into another student who excuses himself and declines her offer in wanting macho-style rock paper scissors. The trio in the midst of getting ready to leave are stopped by the vice principle who places another teammate for the mission named Kei Uzuki, a third-year student from the same department as them. [3]
The group arrive at a department store in the city and Nagumo explains that the target is a leader of an illegal weapons manufacturing ring called the "Steel Dragon" with intel stating that he hides there. After dealing with an assassin in an elevator, they learn that the Steel Dragon runs the entire store and that they're already being watched. Splitting up, Nagumo and Sakamoto go to the third floor of the electronics department.
They hide behind a register while handling and taking out assassins. They encounter a man named Kindaka who appears behind them. Nagumo and Sakamoto attack Kindaka, but the old man surprises the two with his overwhelming speed.
Life in Order[]

Three days after Uzuki and Rion disappeared, Nagumo and Sakamoto visit Kindaka in the hospital. They meet Satoru Yotsumura who is also visiting Kindaka who has fallen into a coma. Nagumo asks the current status of the investigation on Uzuki but Yotsumura's crypticness and suspicions towards Rion angers both him and Sakamoto as the latter tries to hit him but is quickly stopped by Hyo who tells him to calm down. Surprisingly, Yotsumura offers them both membership into Order and tells them that if they want to find Rion and Uzuki, they should look for themselves.
A year into joining Order, Nagumo contacts Sakamoto and tells him that he's found out Uzuki's whereabouts with information from a friend and sends Sakamoto his location. Nagumo tells Sakamoto not to kill Uzuki before finding out where Rion is. Nagumo would later hear about the situation and learn out about Rion's death.
Nagumo, in the next unknown number of years before the present day, continues to work as an assassin and hitman as a member of Order. He would sometimes work with the other members like Hyo and others in a number of missions. He also got to know Shishiba, Yotsumura's student and partner, in this period.
Nagumo and Sakamoto, at one point, destroyed a smuggling ring together and saved a little girl named Nao Toramaru in the process.
On another such mission, Nagumo alongside Sakamoto, Hyo, and Kamihate were in some foreign, war-torn city. As he, Sakamoto, and Hyo found themselves in a pinch, surrounded by at least 10 enemy snipers aiming to kill them, they watched on as Kamihate, hidden someplace away, shot down all opposition for them in rapid succession, sealing their victory.
