**Naruyama Seigo** is a character in the ROAD59 franchise and is affiliated with the Shinonome-gumi.

## Profile

The strategist and tsukkomi of the Shinonome-gumi who somehow manages to handle the troublesome members while being overwhelmed by its financial difficulties. Though he complains about Bakuto's outrageous behavior all the time, in the end he acknowledges his charisma. The power from the Jingi's Cup greatly enhances his eyesight and allows him to assist his allies as a sniper in battle. Also, he normally wears glasses because he "sees too much" in his daily life.

## Appearance

Seigo's attire consists of a black suit on top of a black hoodie with blue accents and sneakers. He wears various silver accessories such as ear piercings, a watch, a chained triangle necklace, and his signature glasses. He has relatively tan skin, short black hair and golden eyes.

## Personality

When it comes to work, Seigo, always dedicated to his duties, handles situations with a cool-headed and vigilant approach. But outside of work, he is actually reserved and polite (depending on the person) but can also be quite snarky. However, he becomes very aggressive once he loses his temper, which is usually a result of Bakuto and Takahisa's mischief. Nevertheless, he deeply cares about the Shinonome and even considers them as his own family. While the other Shinonome members seem to have some sort of eccentricity in them, Seigo is perhaps the only member who is the most grounded.

## Abilities

Seigo uses a rifle in battle. His Jingi heightens his vision so that he can properly snipe from impossibly far distances.

## Relationships

### Shinonome

* Yanagi Bakuto: Due to Bakuto's rash nature, he causes many problems for Seigo (such as putting the Shinonome in debt or not listening to his strategies) and is a target of his frustration. Even so, Bakuto will manage to find a way to solve said problems that Seigo would not have otherwise thought of.
* Oimachi Takahisa: Out of all Shinonome members, Seigo is the most aggressive with Takahisa, especially since the latter tends to slack off and tease him. But when Takahisa ends up in danger during the second stage play, Seigo becomes concerned for his safety and even displays a more sincere side towards Takahisa.
* Kirimiya Yuto: The two have a fraternal relationship with one another, and as an older figure, Seigo tends to look out for Yuto.
* Toudou Shigure: Whenever Seigo loses his temper, Shigure usually has to settle him down.

### Hakurou

* Hyuuga Shion: As per being part of opposing yakuza groups, the two are quite hostile towards one another.

## Stage Plays

### 1st Stage Play

Seigo is first shown at the beginning of the stage play ordering a group of Shinonome personnel to seek for Yutsuma Kaya. On the other hand, the Hakurou and the Kurojou are seeking the same target, resulting in Seigo coming across Shion and his personnel detaining Inaba. They end up engaging in a street fight against each other which Bakuto stumbles upon, and as soon as he fends them off for Inaba, the Hakurou departs. Seigo apologizes to Bakuto that he had to get involved in their fight and asks for his name, but Bakuto refuses to acquaint with someone from the yakuza and leaves together with Inaba. Subsequently, another Shinonome personnel informs Seigo that they had already discovered the whereabouts of Kaya.

Later, Seigo returns to the Shinonome's office in an infuriated mood after finding out that Takahisa hadn't accompanied him previously to stand against the Hakurou. Though Takahisa tries to shrug off his hostile temper, Shigure has to settle them down and presents the newfound Kaya to Seigo. Not realizing her presence, Seigo pardons his behavior and formally introduces himself to her. However, when everyone notices that she was feeling withdrawn from them, the Shinonome decide to discuss possible interests that Kaya would be familiar with so she could feel more adjusted to them. Instead, Kaya changes the topic and questions the Shinonome on why she's being pursued by the yakuza organizations and their reasons for rescuing her. Seeing that the members had no ill intentions towards her, she requests them to cooperate with her, which Seigo and the others offer no qualms against. Unexpectedly, the Hakurou later attacks the Shinonome's territory in order to retrieve Kaya, requiring Seigo and Yuto to fend them off. Bakuto, who was with the Hakurou, infiltrates the Shinonome's headquarters and ends up taking Kaya away from them.

While Seigo has to look for Kaya once again, he eventually finds Bakuto collapsed on the ground after he was attacked by the Kurojou. Hearing that they had robbed Kaya away from him, he decides to bring him to the Shinonome's headquarters in order to recover. Later, Bakuto reawakens at their office under Seigo's watch, giving him and the others quite the unfriendly greeting. Bakuto learns from Kiyonobu that Kaya is his daughter, in which he reacts very aggressively to because he had heard from her that her father had neglected her whole life, prompting Seigo and Yuto to hold him back and clear things up. After settling him down, Bakuto changes his demeanor and decides to cooperate with the Shinonome after having a proper conversation with Kiyonobu. Seigo and the others all watch as Bakuto performs his ritual with Kiyonobu in order to bear the power of a Jingi, and they all head out to the battlefield together to rescue Kaya.

In the midst of their mission, the members are halted by a group of PHOENIX personnel ahead. While Seigo tries to come up with a strategy to deal with them, Takahisa expedites the situation by recommending Bakuto to fight the PHOENIX personnel head-on, much to Seigo's appall when he actually does it. While this greatly entertains Takahisa, Seigo reminds him that Bakuto still has a human disposition and hasn't unleashed his Jingi yet, also that he should also act more professional around Kiyonobu. However, Kiyonobu has no qualms against Takahisa's actions and allows him to go ahead to catch up to PHOENIX with Bakuto. In the meanwhile, Seigo and Yuto split up from Kiyonobu and Shigure.

After the climax of the story, Seigo and Yuto returns to the others to find that Bakuto had rescued Kaya safely. Together, they all fondly watch over her reunion with her father Kiyonobu and head back home. They then run into Inaba, who was planning to leave the Tenkai Ward after her store got destroyed and bid her farewell. From there on out, Bakuto and Kaya start their new life living with the Shinonome.

### 2nd Stage Play

「The car that you wrecked! We also have to pay the repair fee for the building that you almost destroyed in a fight!」
Spoiler Alert!*Note that there are unmarked spoilers under the collapsed section. Proceed to read with caution, or don't read at all!*

Seigo makes his first appearance in the Shinonome's headquarters greeting the other members upon their arrival. He inquires Shigure if financial situation changed but is given a disappointed response. Bakuto questions their distraught expressions and is handed a wad of counterfeit bills by Shigure, which he mistakes as real money. He learns about the production of counterfeit money occurring in the Tenkai Ward, and that the Shinonome is currently being affected by it. On top of that, Seigo states that they also have to pay for large expenses in which Bakuto was unaware of.

Exasperated by his ignorance, Seigo loses his temper on Bakuto, reminding him that their expenses came from Bakuto himself: a repair fee for a car and building that he destroyed in a fight. Much to his chagrin, Bakuto tries to make up an excuse, but Seigo adds on, stating that their expenses also came from the fee for the amount of drinks that he's consumed. Kiyonobu therefore concludes that Bakuto's share of the month will be given to Seigo, which the others gladly approve of. To contend against this, Bakuto suggests that catching the manufacturer of the counterfeit bills would solve Shinonome's fiancial isue. Kaya notes that it wouldn't help Seigo's debt, but Seigo and others decide to go along with Bakuto's plan and tend to their own business.

Scenes later, Seigo and Bakuto find Yuto gravely injured after he and Kaya were ambushed by the Kurojou and PHOENIX. Once they escort him back to the Shinonome's headquarters to get treated, Takahisa returns from his mission holding a large duffel bag and tosses it to Seigo. He assures everyone that the counterfeit bills were already taken care of and that the culprit was killed, then taking his leave after Kiyonobu's approval. Meanwhile, Bakuto asks what could be inside the bag, which Seigo has no idea of. Regardless, Bakuto happily rejoices on the end of their counterfeit situation, yet the other members are still bitter towards him for causing their debt in the first place. Rather than rejoicing along with him, the members all leave Bakuto behind, even Yuto who had apparently recovered quickly. Before the scene ends, Seigo takes a quick look at the contents of the duffel bag on his own and finds a mysterious envelope.

At the Shinonome's headquarters once again, the members are worried on Takahisa's whereabouts until Kaya receives a phone call from him. However, Benedict picks up the phone instead, who reveals to have captured Takahisa and requests the Shinonome to trade in Kaya in order to free him. While the members are in a dilemma, Shizuka suddenly breaks into their headquarters, disposing of Shinonome personnel right in front of them. Putting herself into a dogeza position before all of them, she reveals that her sister Suzuka had also been captured by Benedict and desperately pleads to Kiyonobu to lend his daughter in order to free her as well. Despite having a minor dispute against her, Bakuto eventually encourages everyone in the Shinonome to help her out and team up to confront Benedict.

Eventually the group catches up to Benedict. In the midst of their trade-off, they are able to safely retrieve Suzuka, who warns the Shinonome to be careful of Takahisa since something was wrong with him. Suddenly, Takahisa puts Kaya at gunpoint much to everyone's shock, and before they can take action, Takahisa pulls the trigger on himself. Initially alarming the Shinonome, it turns out that he was just tricking everyone into gaining an advantage over Benedict, much to their relief. Angering Benedict, he turns the tables on them by summoning Irina, who stabs and shoots Bakuto multiple times. While Bakuto is on the brink of death, he makes his final wishes despite Seigo and the others pleading for him to stay alive. To prevent the unwanted situation, Kaya ends up using her Jingi to resuscitate Bakuto. Though the Shinonome are unsure of what Kaya had done, they focus on defeating of PHOENIX.

In the end, the Shinonome defeats PHOENIX, forcing Benedict to withdraw with Maria and Irina. While the Shinonome make their way home, Seigo calls on Takahisa, telling him that he doesn't need his "property". He shows the others what he had found in the duffel bag Takahisa lent him, which was an early picture of the Shinonome when they both first joined. Bakuto points out that even in the picture that Seigo and Takahisa were already quarreling in the past, but Takahisa jokingly remarks that the two were always close and gives out a fist bump to him. To everyone's surprise, Seigo returns the fist bump, and requests that they should take another picture in commemoration of their new family members. Ending off the story, the Shinonome members all take a picture together beneath the falling cherry blossoms.
