Private Nakagawa: A good young guy with gigantic sideburns.
Even today, he tosses his opponents around
with his Justice Fist, a violent straight punch!

Private Nakagawa: The former strongest karateka in the USA.
He suffered a defeat in the first match of the All-American Martial Arts Tournament, though.
His opponent was Ken Masters.
Ken said to him "After all, you're only a big fish in a small pond!¹",
and misinterpreting his words, Allen decided to become "The strongest fish in the World²".
He's a constantly curious and likable person.
Since his loss to Ken, he pays attention even to his moves's naming.

And even today, we have comments from our senior colleague!

NIN: "Oh, sideburns!
I remember I thought of making him
a very aggressive projectile character.
Subsequently, I thought it would be nice
having a foreign karateka."

Notes
¹ Literally, "A frog in a well", taken from Japanese proverb "A frog in a well does not know the great sea". That explains his dislike of frogs, translated as "being called a big fish" in English adaptations until now.
² "The strongest frog in the World", obviously.
