Who is the man in the suit in the Fullmetal Alchemist series?


Does anyone have any clues on the man in the suit? He appears in both FMA and
FMA:B.

After searching everywhere for the day looking this up before someone else
finds the answer, he appears to be Mobuta Mobuo. He is actually a background
character that was actually placed in their as a joke as said in an interview
with Arakawa Hiromu in the Perfect Guidebook (Hagaren Kenkyujo DX). He was
also a gag character in the Mangas and hardly anyone seemed to notice him.

I am absolutely sure this is him.
