Biography[]
Naoto Tagashira was born in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. He became a member of the Hirose-gumi subsidiary of the Yomei Alliance's Masuzoe-gumi, and, in 2016, he became friendly with Haruka Sawamura when she came to Onomichi. When Kazuma Kiryu came to Onomichi to search for Haruka, Tagashira revealed that her suspected lover Shu Tatsukawa had moved to Kabukicho, Tokyo to become a host, allowing for Kiryu, Yuta Usami, and Tsuyoshi Nagumo to begin their search for Tatsukawa in that city. After Toru Hirose kidnapped Haruto, Tagashira joined his friends in rescuing Haruto, but he was later angered at Kiryu's suggestion that Hirose was involved in Tsuneo Iwami's conspiracy. He later accidentally discovered the "Secret of Onomichi" during the final confrontation with Hirose at an Iwami Shipbuilding facility, pulling a lever that revealed the Yamato-class battleship.
