Yamato Naoe

**Yamato Naoe** is one of the 5 "subjects" who underwent a clinical trial to sure their neurological disorders. He was a college student that attended Reinan's Senjukuha Program until he was expelled after the events of his sophomore year.

Yamato stays enrolled at Reinan University in order to stay close to the Shimazu residents. He goes on to become a member of the House of Representatives and marries Nozomi Lie having 2 kids with her.

## Appearances

Yamato is a lean male with dark brown hair and rarely seen brown eyes. He is fairly fit with a calm composed look on his face.

Yamato's most prevalent physical feature, however, is a pair of sunglasses he wears religiously whenever at Reinan. This was done to hide the fact that his eyes glowed gold whenever he used his ability.

## Background

Yamato is the only child of Naoe Kagekiyo; a successful entrepreneur and Naoe Saki, who was the daughter of the oyabun of the Ashikawa-gumi syndicate before becoming a housewife. His parents died in a car accident when he was only four months old, and since his father was disowned for marrying Saki his only family consisted of his aunt, Atsuko and her waka gashira, Yoshifumi Nitta for most of his life. During that time Atsuko diligently trained and groomed Yamato to eventually take over as oyabun.

This training consisted of martial combat, both armed and unarmed, manipulating and reading people, cracking security systems/code cracking both the digital and old-fashioned, and how to do proper research.

## Personality

Yamato is highly intelligent, adaptive, and manipulative. While at Reinan, Yamato takes on a persona of the class clown, downplaying his keen intelligence and tactical mind. He is more sarcastic than anything else. He has shown astounding loyalty to his fellow Shimazu residents, even willing to put his life on the line for them.

Unlike most of the Shimazu crew, how Yamato presented himself to other people changed very little over the years they spent together. The true change was in his values and priorities, shifting from an uncaring manipulator that viewed almost everyone as an "asset" to more of a caring trickster.

Though should be noted that even after his change of heart Yamato is still not above lying or taking morally questionable actions for the sake of his allies.
