He wears the an armor of Poison (Doctor / Healer). He is one of the four Tennou (Heavenly Kings) with a heart of "Tei (Obedience)".

Naaza was voiced by Futamata Issei.

## Name Etymology and Alternative Spellings

Naaza was born with the name Yamanouchi Naotoki.

The name "Naaza" was directly inspired by the Naga as seen in mythologies of India and other Asian countries.

## Appearance and Personality

At first glance, he looks like a cautious, somewhat introverted personality. However, because of his role as "Poison" and "Doctor / Healer", this has the opportunity to help people by way of using his armor's poison to make medicine and heal diseases, making this an intimate kind of relationship. Not necessarily an evil one.

In addition, "Tei (obedience)", which is the heart of this armor, can not be fulfilled unless the person wearing it has a heart that's dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of other people. The original Naaza is, in fact, a good kind of person with a very big and compassionate heart.

## Biography

### Family History

The Yamanouchi clan, sometimes also spelled 'Yamauchi', was a family of Japanese feudal lords. From 1600 to 1868, they dominated the important fief of the Tosa Province of Japan on the island of Shikoku.

### Early History

Early in his life, Naaza was a participant of the sea battle against the Mouri Navy. This happened in the Seto Inland Sea and he was on the losing side. When he realized his own death was close at hand because of the defeat, Arago gained a moment of evil from his remorse and was drawn to the teen boy. Because of this deep relationship, he is particularly good at battles set in the sea (underwater).

Naotoki was born into a low-ranking samurai family in Satsuma. At that time, the Shimazu clan was strong in Satsuma, and a low-ranking samurai like Naotoki’s family could not dream of a successful career. Naotoki took on the expectations of his family and tried to make a name for himself as a mercenary in the navy of the Kōno clan, which was competing with the Mouri clan in the Seto Inland Sea. At that time, the Kōno clan was on the verge of extinction, and there were not many people willing to become mercenaries, but Naotoki dared to take a gamble by throwing himself into a disadvantageous battle. As a result, he lost the bet and was attacked by the enemy while he was outnumbered. At that time, Naotoki cursed himself for his naivety. He cursed his folly in thinking that his achievements would shine brighter among the powerless. And that thought led to Arago. Naotoki was able to transform the Yakushi armor because of his inherent obedient nature. Arago had brainwashed Naotoki to turn his mind to himself only, and to oppose all others.

### The War on the Mortal World

Naaza often battles Shin of the Suiko armor and he used to attack the Samurai Troopers with his poison quite often.

## Armor and Powers

### Weapon

Jaga Ken (蛇牙剣) Snake Fang Sword

The Jaga (Snake Fang) Swords are a six-segmented sword that Naaza uses, two of which are snake decorations on the head. The Jaga (Snake Fang) Swords are a weapon that specializes in attacking an opponent from an unexpected position and distance.

### Ballistic Attack

Rokusetsu Orochi (六節大蛇) Six-Segmented Serpent

When using his special technique, the Rokusetsu Orochi (Six-Segmented Serpent), he connects the six swords together end-to-end like a snake to attack and tear apart the opponent.

## Trivia

By the way, in the early stages of this project, the armors of the four Masho were not only derived from the Japanese land and seasons of nature, but they were also set to be formed by the world's evil energy. Naaza's armor was a highly poisonous cobra, and it was believed that the snake god of Southeast Asia (Indian mythology snake spirit 'Naga') was taking over him. Although this ended up not being used, this explains why the face of the viper with fangs showing remains in the mask design.
