Nando (Japanese: ナオシ Naoshi) is a recurring character from the Pokémon anime. He is voiced by 中井和哉 Kazuya Nakai in the Japanese version and by Billy Regan in English. He is a wandering minstrel who loves music and as such carries his golden harp with him always, which is shaped like a Mew.
He made his debut appearance in Dawn of a New Era. At the time, he was confused as to whether he should battle gyms or become a Pokémon Coordinator and didn't know what path to take. He battled both Ash and Dawn with his Budew, which evolves into Roselia during his battle with Ash. After the battle, Nando decided to become a Pokémon Trainer as well as a Coordinator.
He later appears again in A Secret Sphere of Influence!, where he is falsely accused and arrested due to Jessie, James, and Meowth's stealing of the Adamant Orb.
Nando most recently appeared in Dawn's Early Night where he entered the Hearthome Contest, which he won by defeating Zoey.

Trivia
- Unlike many other characters with specific catch phrases for sending out a Pokémon, the one time Nando was seen sending out Pokémon (in DP049) this phrase was altered in translation. He used toujou desu in Japanese, roughly translating into "enter" or "entry," while in English he used the phrase "make your mark" instead.
