So Nusjuro, unlike the other CDs, has a distinctly Japanese name and manner of dress, which to me indicates that he might be from a different culture than the others.
Now that we know it's possible for someone to become a Celestial Dragon as long as they have the approval of the Five Elders, I think Nusjuro might have been like York where he was born as a commoner, but he ended up being useful enough to the WG and enough of a scumbag that they allowed him to become a Celestial Dragon. And then from there, likely due to a random twist of luck, he got appointed as a Gorosei
