His teacher was Suzuki Goro. Nakayama started as a game recorder for professionals after World War II to make money and got interested in the game. His skill at writing a kifu is amazing, he writes a whole game from memory at lightning speed.

There is a picture on his [ext] Nihon-Ki-in webpage.

Anecdotes

This was written by AvatarDJFlux on another page:

Nakayama is well known as one of the professionals that most toured the West to spread and teach Go. A delightful person, he's always ready to play amateurs (he even played me - a one-to-one game - during the European championship in Terschelling!). He's never hard-spoken when confronted with our stupid mistakes, but always says something encouraging, like: "Ah! New Joseki, neh?!", or: "Oohh! Stroong move! But maybe... this (playing his move...) better!!!"

MarkD: Actually I managed to get a big smile and a "Ohh very bad move" from him. After that he showed me a great variation. He is very friendly and helpful.
