He is the student of Chai Kingdom's Dōshi and lives in his temple. He is a short child with a shaved head, except for a braided ponytail.
When Mario and Mekakuribō are chased by a pack of Pionpi, Nan-chan calls for them to hide in a bush with him, making the Pionpi jump over the bush and straight into a pit.

When the Dōshi suggests using the Sky Pop, Nankin explains that his master used to be a pilot, then, with the Dōshi's daughter Minmei and Mekakuribō, gets the idea of using a new seal to make their way to the plane hangar. When Mekakuribō then goes alone in a room to fabricate the seal with some of Minmei's food, Nan-chan and Mario question why a robot would need food, but they immediately stop thinking about it.
Later, a Goombo knocks at the temple's door, asking for shelter from the Pionpi. Nankin removes the seal, which was used as a door latch, and welcomes the Goombo in, but it takes the seal and destroys it, letting the Pionpi inside. Minmei and Nan-chan are the first ones to succumb to the Pionpi's bite, turning themselves into Pionpi as well and managing to infect the Dōshi.
