Naoki is the second official member of Jinkaku Radio. He's the bassist, arranger, producer and leader of the band. He is kind of mysterious, keeping personal information secret and usually lets Yuuki do most of the talking in interviews. Although he seems quiet and shy, he seems rather straightforward and seems to know exactly what he wants and how to get it. Whereas Yuuki can be somewhat crazy and childish sometimes, Naoki balances this with his quieter nature.

Although most stuff of Naoki's band history seems vague and unconfirmed, it seems he was in the metal band Atomic Tornado around 1992 or so (some other sources say 1994 until 1996). Somewhere between that time and Jinkaku Radio, he was in a brightly colored visual kei band called Lemon Glass. This band seems to be a project of the vocalist of Atomic Tornado, and support drummer Shin was in it as well.

He also created the Lemon Glass logo (at least the one in their last releases). He seems to like to design things and also designed Kasu's booklet and provided the artwork for the Gakubuchi single.

Naoki is a member of the project Anny's Ltd. too, which plays some kind of hardcore/punk music with a theme based on the movie Clockwork the Orange. The project is ocassionally active and has released a few CDs.

Naoki has several basses, but his favorite one seems to be his plain black 5-string one. He's a wonderful bassist, he plays the most beautiful pieces. Just focus on the bass, and you'll hear an interesting melody.

His nickname is "ohji", prince, which is because his calm and sort of 'stiff' posture. He seems to be a fan of the Beatles, and has a dog called Vanilla. Because he's vague in interviews, there's not much to tell about his favorite stuff.
