About Naoki...

Naoki is a senior idol, with his strong point being dance. He moved to Japan from abroad when he was 15 and started working part-time as a model while attending classes and training in dance and vocals. He's very friendly with those around him, and acts like an older brother to his groupmates. He's independent both in and out of work, but is happy to help others. Due to his disposition he dwells on his mistakes a lot, though it just makes him work harder to correct them and improve himself. His parents live abroad still, and he has an older sister who sometimes visits.

About his work...

While he works mainly as an idol and this provides a monthly stipend, he isn't a front member of the group usually and plays a more supportive role behind the scenes, learning dances quickly and helping to teach the choreography. He's more active as a member of a smaller unit, and likes to do solo lives when he has time. Naoki supplements his income by working as a model, primarily for clothing brands though he has also done some advertisements. He enjoys trying lots of new clothes and keeping a diverse wardrobe so he always has an outfit for every occassion. Even though he sometimes gets to keep the clothes from his fashion gigs, he's a shopaholic who drags whoever he can along to try new clothes on.

About his private life...

Naoki tends to keep work and private life separate, so while he has friends in his group, they don't hang out much unless they're working. Thanks to his multiple sources of income, Naoki rents a modern two-floor apartment in the city, with the ground level being a living space and the basement being used for practice and storage. He lives with his boyfriend Utsuho, who helps around the house. He's a skilled cook after living alone for many years and enjoys cooking and entertaining friends who come round. Naoki likes RPGs mostly, though it takes him a while for him to finish any game he picks up. On his days off from work and practice he either goes on a date with Utsuho or hunts for trendy places to get a drink or dessets, which make it onto his carefully curated Inst@gram account. He gets his hair cut regularly and sees a hairdresser to maintain his hair color at least twice a month.
