**Naoki Minami** is another former mental patient from Chou Mori Institution in the *Wonderland* series. He too is a tadpole just like Mikado Ryuugamine and the rest. He comes from the second generation.

## Appearance and Personality

### Personality

## Storyline History

### Caged Wonderland

Naoki tries to stay away from everyone and not touch anyone. Megumi Fukao and Naomi Aizawa make contact with him. They meet up in McDonalds and talk. Naoki doesn't trust them. Naomi shows him her powers by changing salt to sand. Megumi tells him about her powers. Naoki finally shows them what he can do by taking a loud salary man's luck and giving it to a sad girl in the restaurant. Megumi and Naomi try to convince him to join their group.

### Black Swan Wonderland

Naoki ends up in another experiment by Tandeki. Now he can't feel pain anymore. After Emily's death, he got a little bit of her power.

### Edge of Wonderland

Naoki is pulled into another experiment where he has this chalky taste in his throat that he can't get rid. He is seen with Chie Sakamoto, Riku, and Risa Ishii at Celty and Shinra's apartment when Aoko Jimbo comes by to look for help. The tadpoles in the room could sense three more coming towards them. Naoki is the one to reveal the truth to Risa. He says that they might as well explain everything to her. That gets interrupted by Erina Kate, Hifumi Ushimaru, and Miya Chang coming into the apartment. Aoko gets upset when she sees Erina and Miya. Shinra has to be the one to defuse the situation. He gets dragged into another experiment where he feels as sick as a dog. He gets better after Masaomi Kida becomes a player in the game and turns back time. As a side effect of the antidote to fix the mutation in his blood, Naoki can now see the final moments of a person before they died in his dreams. He and the others don't know how long it will last.

### Tadpole Diaries II

Naoki calls up Megumi to tell her that they are all having a meeting at Celty and Shinra's apartment to talk about the new co-leaders. Naoki doesn't see the point in sticking close together. Naomi tries to get him to otherwise, but fails. He just gets up and walks out of her kitchen. Naoki finds Megumi leaning outside. He tell that she's bored again. The two talk for a moment. He doesn't like being label as "don't touch me" by Yukio Miwa. Megumi walks off when she is too bored. He waves at her before heading home himself. Naoki comes home to find a postcard addressed to him. He looks at it before putting it away in the kitchen drawer.
