Touma says:
"Oh, Lord... it's not his turn, is it? Well,
what is there to say about Naotoki that countless psychiatrists wouldn't leap at the chance
to say first? Let's just say he might benefit from a few decades in a nice, padded room. In
addition to being half-demon, this guy is completely nuts. There's nothing Naaza
liked more than to cause pain and suffering, and his master gave him every opportunity. In his
own defence, I should point out that he was under Arago's mind control, so he may have calmed
down a little now that he's been released from it. With the virtue of obedience, Naaza was one of
the very last of the Masho to turn against Arago, but he did finally manage to shake himself free
of the Demon Lord and help the Samurai Troopers, so it's safe to assume he's not all bad.
Still, I'd probably sleep a little better knowing he was in a straightjacket or ten..."

Naotoki's armour was bonded to the spirit of
an Asian snake demon/god called Naga. It was from this that he took the name Naaza,
which he tends to use while fighting. As the Masho of Doku, Naaza's entire body secretes
lethal poisons when he is in his armour, and he has the speed and strength of a striking cobra.
He can survive indefinitely underwater, and the element seems to make his toxins even stronger.
His choice of weapons is six katana swords, which he can juggle quickly enough to use all at
once. His battecry of choice tends to be "SUFFER!" |

In addition to being the Masho of snakes and poison, Naaza represents
the season of autumn. The first warning sign of his approach tends
to be for trees to lose their foliage and plantlife to wither and die.
