WHO IS 'NAYA' ? - NON-SPOILER FACTUAL ✨

Hey guys,

How is everyone doing ? I hope all is well. Today I will be sharing facts about Naya, who was mentioned towards the end of the series. Most of these are non-spoilers , therefore please enjoy reading them.

1. Naya is in his mid-twenties and was the first "Black Squad" member. He passed the admission examinations for both Tohoku University and the University of Tokyo by the age of 15. However, at that age, he became interested in the history of the Yakuza and learned about Japan's largest syndicate. The Tanaka syndicate. 

2. Naya has no Yakuza background. Both of his parents are doctors, and he comes from a pretty wealthy family. Naya was named second among the most intelligent children in Japan, behind only Shoto Tanaka, who was ranked first and was just 13 at the time. Naya became fascinated with Shoto after learning about his Yakuza background.

3. During this period, Naya began attending Toho University. Naya found himself bored, realizing he already understood most of the topics under discussion. His parents wanted him to be a doctor, but Naya preferred a more intriguing life. While in university, Naya broke into the Tanaka Syndicate's security system out of boredom. Accessing critical files via their intelligence division. As a result, syndicate members attacked his home, endangering his whole family.

4. Despite lacking combat experience, Naya outperformed more experienced syndicate members by relying solely on tactics and cunning during the attack on his residence. It was amazing that he didn't kill any of them. All he wanted to do was meet Hiro Tanaka personally. The boss. Which was bold.

5. When Naya met Hiro and was questioned. He said honestly, "I was just bored. That is all." This surprised everyone, since he was not affiliated with any competing syndicates or had a Yakuza history. Naya took a step further, asking Hiro to meet Shoto in person. Naya informed Hiro that he wanted to understand more about his son, the kid who had bested him. 

6. When Naya first met Shoto, he requested that he play chess with him. After Shoto defeated him in less than 5 minutes of the game, Naya chose to join the syndicate. Stationed at the Intel division, in the shadows. 

7. After joining the Yakuza, Naya's family disowned him, and he now only communicates with his younger sister. They also removed him from the family registry. Naya was unimpressed and, honestly, did not care.

8. He graduated from Toho University at the top of his class. While attending university, he was also contributing to the development of the Black Squad and Intel Division. This made his life exciting.

9. Naya works in the shadows and is hardly seen by the other members. Only Shoto and Hiro have seen his face. When it comes to bizarre beliefs, he is right up there with Turtle. Naya has always supported Shoto's actions, and he is a true Shoto fanatic. 

10. Because Naya was Shoto's right-hand man, he is now the Intel Division's acting lieutenant. He eagerly anticipates Shoto's comeback to the syndicate.

11. Naya will only take orders from Shoto and Hiro. He also enjoys mocking Yaseiji's pride and ego.

12. He comes off as a sociopath, and because of his wealthy background, he can be quite demeaning without even realizing it. Which is why Turtle and him get along so well since they both like causing mayhem and are pretty skilled at it.

Thank you for reading.
