He has since appeared in number of episodes giving Butch and Cassidy their mission briefings, though this was only as a vocal role in all except Oaknapped. He is believed to be in his 50s or 60s. His name is often mispronounced, and he has a short temper.
Namba may be named for Namba (also known as Minami) a district within Osaka, Japan.
History
Little is known about Namba. It can be speculated that since he does order scientists and agents within Team Rocket, he is either very knowledgable about his field or that he has been with the group for a while, climbing the corporate ladder at Team Rocket.
Relationships with other members
Aside from the already mentioned fact of him ordering a cadre of scientists and agents, two notable agents that he orders are Butch and Cassidy
Note on spelling
The name is romanized as "Namba" according to the original version of Hepburn, and "Nanba" according to the modified and revised versions of Hepburn. The English language versions use "Namba", and therefore Bulbapedia will use "Namba".
