He is also very serious about the working of other robots, calling Dr. Hell's Mechanical Beasts "bad taste" and seeing the Big Daitan as imbalanced and unreliable because of the large amount of weapons it possesses.

Abilities
Prof. Nonaka is known for high class technology, aside from the MA robots he has made Hikaru Makiba's robot dog, Daisuke which functions and behaves just like a real dog. He also customizes the MA robots with equipment needed for the situation. He is even able to fight for himself in battle, able to fend off assassins sent to kill him and Jun Hono.

History
Prof. Nonaka once worked in the same institute as Dr. Hell, until Hell was expelled for his insane ideas. During that time and continued to the present day, Nonaka saw Hell's work as bad taste. Years later, he becomes the head scientist for developing the robots of the Mazinger Angels, all the while being attracted to them. Over the course of the series, he would be of assistance to the team by either modifying their robots or giving advice in battle.

A few years after the defeat of Dr. Hell, Nonaka continues his work with Hikaru working as his assistant. He improves the designs of the robots in order to fight in outer space with help from Juzo Kabuto near the end of the series.
