HISTORY:

Naota is one of three brothers born into the main branch of the Kageyama family. Though his family couldn't be classified as wealthy, they were still quite influential. Naota comes from a long line of highly-disciplined samurai warriors. He is the youngest of three brothers, and though his older brothers were sent away from home at the same time to train under Inazuma Seigo, a famous master of swordsmanship, he didn't follow after them until three years later, due to his mother's reluctance to send him away from home. He joined around the same time as Rin, and at first, he thought that she was weird and scary. Eventually, she finally began to speak, and Naota and Rin became friends. For a few more years, things would remain peaceful at the Inazuma Dojo, and the four of them would become inseparable... that is, until disaster struck. Assassins from an organization that seemed to be connected with Rin in some way attacked the Inazuma household, and only she, Naota, Yuuta, Kenta, and two others would survive.

After this tragedy subsided, Rin, Kenta, Yuuta, and Naota began to travel together in search of the ones responsible for mudering their master and fellow students. Wherever Rin went, the Kageyama brothers were never too far behind.

PERSONALITY AND QUIRKS:

Out of the three brothers, Naota is the youngest, and therefore the most childish. Be that as it may, he is also the warmest, kindest, and most sensitive out of the three. He is the easiest to get to know, since he is very honest and up-front about everything. Everything he feels he shows it either in his facial expression or in his gestures, and it is very difficult for him to hide anything from anyone, unless it's a treasured secret from a good friend. He's very loyal to his friends, so he's an easy friend to make and keep.

Naota has a weakness for sweet things and cute things. This is very embarrassing to him, since he comes from a long line of very masculine swordsmen.

Naota has a talent for sewing, and loves wearing stylish clothing. This is also very embarrassing to him, due to the masculine nature of his heritage.

Older women love Naota. They find his childish appearance and personality very adorable, so he often receives gifts from them.
