The protagonist of ''Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final''. A member of the Hunters, he is killed during a mission, only to be resurrected by a mysterious demon.
----
* AscendedExtra: In the original ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'', Akira was a minor character who you only hear about in the backstory of the main universe, and whose counterparts serve as {{Quest Giver}}s in the {{Alternate Timeline}}s you visit. In ''Final'', his reincarnation has become the main character.
* CameBackStrong: After being resurrected, he gains the power to negotiate with and summon demons and his race changes from Human to God Killer.
* CanonName: In a noticeable aversion to tradition, Nanashi is official to the point that it's in the voiced dialogue.
* ContinuityNod: After becoming a "God Killer", he gains markings on his body similar to the Demi-Fiend, who was himself empowered by a demon to kill a god in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne''.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Before his death, his eyes and hair are both brown. After being empowered by Dagda, his eyes turned green to match his markings.
* DealWithTheDevil: Made a pact with Dagda to become a LivingWeapon in return for being resurrected after he died.

* FirstEpisodeResurrection: Gets killed off at the start of ''Final'', only to be brought back by Dagda.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Due to being the protagonist, the deep cut he received on his cheek upon dying has been replaced with a clean, attractive looking green tattoo rather than a scar.

* HeroicMime: Wouldn't be SMT without one.
* InvincibleHero: [[spoiler:Manages to kill off pretty much everybody opposing him with little effort due to being ThePlotReaper in the anarchy ending, as well as the peace ending.]]
* MeaningfulName: If you don't give him a name, the game defaults to Nanashi, which in Japanese can be read as "no name".
* PowerTattoo: Has a green tattoo on his left hand which matches markings on Dagda.
* PsychoticSmirk: Seems to be his default expression since his resurrection. [[spoiler:In the final scene of the Peace ending this is replaced with a more happy and almost goofy smile.]]

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: [[spoiler: He gets these in the Anarchy Route ending, cementing his status as the new Creator.]]

A powerful angel created by the merging of Lucifer and Merkabah. Satan tests Nanashi's party in battle before facing YHVH.
----
* AntiVillain: Law, Chaos, Neutral don't matter to him. What matters is obeying the creator of the universe. That said he does not care ''who'' the creator is and would serve an entirely different creator if YHVH were to be replaced.
* BarrierChangeBoss: About halfway through the battle with him he will start changing his resistances back and forth.
* BigBad: This game reveals that Satan was the true Big Bad of ''IV'', as Merkabah and Lucifer are simply parts of him.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Inverted. Satan as a fusable demon breaks the level cap at 120.
* EleventhHourRanger: Joins Flynn's party on the Anarchy Route.
* FusionDance: Satan is the true form of his halves Lucifer and Merkabah, with Merkabah itself being the combination of the Four Archangels.
* HealThyself: After the halfway mark in his battle he will heal himself to full.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: A dragon angel with seven grotesque heads.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: A giant black dragon with seven red heads growing from his neck and nails stabbing his wings. The longer necks are more draconic while the shorter ones are more human like.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Knowing that YHVH's death would result in his own, Satan helps the party to defeat him and dies in the process.
* SplitPersonalityMerge: The fusion of his halves Lucifer and Merkabah restores him.

* FinalBoss: Of the Peace/Anarchy Routes only.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Dagda on the Anarchy Route realizes that part of why YHVH was such a cruel and tyrannical god was due to having no equal to share his role as creator. The isolation as his role of TopGod made it impossible for him to see any living thing as anything more than pawns for his eternal battle.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''IV'', having set up the Forever War in this set of universes. He doesn't do much otherwise, letting Satan's two halves run the show.
* HPToOne: Has a move that reduces the entire party to just one HP. He also has a move that does the same to just one but also taking quite a chunk out of the MP as well.
* LightIsNotGood: He appears as golden shining heads and is as malevolent as ever.
* MesACrowd: His first fight is a horde of himself made of millions of YHVH heads. As damage is dealt, the heads keep dying, decreasing his press turns until all that's left is one head on a black background.
* MythologyGag: Many of His animations are direct references to his sprites in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII''.
* OneWingedAngel: He transforms into a hideous beast covered in blue, black, and purple in his second form.
* PlayingBothSides: He controls both Law and Chaos through his proxies Merkabah/Archangels and Lucifer, trapping everything in a ForeverWar that he has no intention of ever ending.
* SlasherSmile: Whenever He get's a smirk, He flashes one wicked grin.
* TheUnpronounceable: Whenever characters in the game tries to pronounce his name it comes out garbled and unrecognizable as anything human vocal cords could possibly produce.
