~Taisho Secrets!~
Naoto's Nichirin Blade is a dark copper color, somewhat similar to Tengen's amber colored swords!

Naoto likes to hum to himself while traveling, usually humming songs he remembers from his childhood or songs that he learned while traveling!

No one knows what Naoto looks like, just Shinjuro and Ruka Rengoku. As much as Tengen has tried, no matter what his plan is, he can never seem to catch Naoto without his mask on! Naoto has held onto the reason why he doesn't take it off is because he is ugly enough to make someone sick, the same thing he told Kyojuro when they were children!

Mio, Naoto's Kusagai Crow, wears a miniature version of Naoto's mask on the top of her head. It was made by Naoto himself! Mio and Naoto have been partners since Naoto became a Demon Slayer at the age of 17.
