So let me start with a question that has been touched on in the past:
Would what Nambu/Anderson did be considered child abuse? And, considering this program was so specialized what circumstances would happen to have the "children" removed from Nambu/Anderson. (This is something I have been wondering about in my AU. I see Mark, and possibly the others, being removed from Anderson's care for a short time but do not see the reason(s) why he/they are removed.) |

In reality, I would always think that it's a terrible thing to send children into combat as soldiers. But, where television is concerned, I can look at it a different way. I think that all the young viewers of Gatchaman/BOTP in the 1970s, children and teens, knew damned well that they, in real life, would never actually be required or allowed to do anything like what the Science Ninjas/G Force were doing on the TV screen, but it would have been exciting to watch characters their own ages actually getting to do dangerous hero-adventure stuff, imagining that they too could do that.
Where Dr. Nambu is concerned, I try to tell myself that he alone, years earlier, saw and understood the growing threat of Galactor, but no one at the UN would believe him or listen to him, so he used his position at the ISO to develop the Science Ninjas, but for some reason he either couldn't get any adults to train with birdstyles, weapons, God Phoenix, and in desperation started training his children (hoping that his fears about Galactor would prove to be unfounded), or he honestly believed that it would be many more years before Galactor became a real threat and they would be older, or he would have had a chance to get older candidates for the team by then.
I confess I've given less thought to Anderson's situation, but I would probably try to justify his use of children by making it such that only children could get the cerebonic implants, he thought he would have more time before they had to start fighting (and the ones who wanted to opt out would be allowed to do so), or that he was being forced by an uncaring government, desperate to do anything to defend Earth from Spectra.

Oh come on, the man is extremely smart, single, in decent shape, has a nice house and, when pushed to it, can wield a rifle quite effectively -he's far from hopeless!  |

Sure. ITA with all of that... but face it, he's not smexy... there's just no desire there at all. And in fact, the mere thought of it makes me feel all squicky.... ugh. 
Maybe it's the big bushy mustache... I've never been turned on by facial hair... |

Is that what it is? I feel the same way about facial hair. Clean, baby face all the way for me .... (at least that is what I always imagine for a D/H. Maybe I am limiting myself too much and that is why I can not find an Eagle.)
Can anyone get their photoshop program working and remove Nambu's mustache so we can see what is underneath? 
BTW LB: thank you for your response to my query. Not that it helps in my AU but it has given me more to think about.

Aaah, Dr. Kozaburo Nambu, let me share some of my favorite pics or poses of Dr. Nambu (warning:all of the pics are not of serious or "smutty" nature, if you prefer those kinds of pics, see pics from other members above,  )
This is a very nice close up of our beloved director, but wait, is that a piece of RAMEN noodle dangling on his sexy moustache????
Oh no, now the ramen is wrapped around his moustache
Now it looks like the ramen is entering his nose!!!
And now the ramen is gone, FANTASTIC, Nambu Hakase, you should have joined the show "Utoland's Got Talent"
And here are some shots from the anime "Nurse Witch Komugi" in which Dr. Nambu & the KNT made a cameo. Here is a pic of Dr. Nambu (with pink hair and ribbons on his hair, how cute, kinda reminding of Sailor Chibi Moon from Sailor Moon) giving his usual lecture on "The Danger Of Bird Missile"
And this is the response from Mugi-maru(the rabbit character)which clearly summarises my feeling sometimes after listening to so many of his instructions.
This is a pic from the infamous "Gatchaman Dansen"Video. Oh yeah, SHAKE DA BUTT, NAMBU HAKASE!YOU'RE THE MAN!
And finally, Nambu Hakase from the OVA, he is wearing a suit that actually should have been worn in the "Gatchaman Dansen Video".The suit will look so much better in the dance floor, John Travolta will not be able to compete with that.Dr. Nambu's hair is definitely the case of too much hairspray,and whatever happened to his sexy moustache???
