He was influenced by Japanese yankee manga while abroad and because of his own experiences and mangas, he is always full of chivalrous spirit.
Naoya arrives to spend a year in a high school in Japan. He attends a technical high school which emphasis on the location being center of "water polo supremacy" but is on the verge of closing down.
