History
[Warning: Several spoilers follow this section!]

Prior to the Tragedy
As a kid, Nidai was born with a heart disease which made him very frail to the point of staying in the hospital. There, he met a kid named Daisuke, who also had the same problem. Nidai noticed that a lot of people visit Daisuke, and it was revealed that he is a manager of a sports team. Sadly, Daisuke didn't manage to see his team's victory and there, and Nidai became inspired to become a team manager and continue his friend's dream.

As a team manager, he trained a lot of good players including figure skaters that can perform 6 revolutions per spin and tennis players that were able to turn an almost-win into a win with a total of 36 hours of playing time.

Island Life of Mutual Killing
Hajime first countered Nidai around the Hotel. With high spirits, he was one of few students who remained calm and not get panicked, it's proven when he accepted Usami's gift happily. Nidai became helpful in solving different cases, providing different information [e.g. when he was about to use the bathroom]. At Chapter 2, Nidai and Soda tied up Komaeda to avoid his plans to continue.

During Chapter 3, Nekomaru Nidai defends Akane Owari from an attack of Monokuma, and is hospitalized due to the severe injuries he sustained. He returns after the third class trial has finished, shouting on how he came back from hell and spouting different words, but his body was in such a terrible state that Monokuma transferred his mind to a cyborg.

Also, Robo Nidai gave himself a lot of new random features:
 * 1) A sleep mode switch at the back of his head/neck.
 * 2) A radio clock that’s incredibly accurate. Comes with an alarm.
 * 3) He can dispense drinks from his eyes.

Owari and the rest were surprised to see Robo Nidai, with Soda going so far as to jokingly ask if he can see Nidai's new internal hardware. He was murdered in the fourth chapter by Gundham Tanaka to avoid starving to death. His remains are used by Kazuichi Soda to create a "mini-Nidai" to cheer up a depressed Owari.

Akane Owari
Nidai is close to Owari due to their desire to improve themselves physically. She was the most shocked to discover that he was a cyborg and was really depressed about his death, never thanked to him because he always defend her. This led Kazuichi Soda to use some of Nidai's remains to create a miniature version of himself to cheer her up.
