==Biography==
Naoto was the first Earth Tribe Gransazer to be awakened. He initially assumed the Gransazer power was for him to fight to see who was the strongest and began picking fights with the other Gransazers. However, after Tenma saved him from an attack by the Wind Tribe, Naoto developed a respect for him and slowly began working with the other Gransazers. After the other two Earth Tribe Gransazers were awakened, Naoto joined with them to awaken their Chouseishin Guncaeser. Once the Wind Tribe joined the rest of the Gransazers, Ryoko began helping Naoto to open up more and the two grew close.
Following the destruction of Karin Saeki, he first met a young boy named Kenta Sakamoto and took him in as his apprentice after being heard that he wanted to get stronger so he wouldn't get bullied anymore, while reminding him that power can be used to protect his loved ones instead of hurting others. While fighting against Lucia, he became horrified of witnessing Kenta getting hurt in the battlefield which he got sent to the hospital as result. Despite this, Naoto returns to fight alongside his fellow Gransazers and help them fight against the Impactors.
After the conflict with Warp Monarch ended, Naoto married Ryoko in a wedding that the other Gransazers and Professor Horiguchi all attended.
After Shouta Date got a job at Jet Set Delivery, Naoto was one of the customers he delivered to. He later showed up to give Shouta a pep talk after he lost his Riser powers, during which he noted Shouta's similarities to Tenma. When Shouta regained his InLoader and joined his comrades in battling Doctor Zora and General Bachuss, Naoto helped them by fighting the Zakoal that had been summoned to assist the two villains.
