Naoji is the sole character without a rank and is not a noble. He was born in Japan into a prestigious family. His father sent him to Kuchen to ensure he became educated and experienced, but also to shield him from the impending war in Japan (WWII). Unbeknownst to him, his father submitted a Kuchen citizenship application in his name, a fact that upsets Naoji greatly. He resides with a man named Foster, who was like a father to Naoji's mother. His grandmother was born in Kuchen into a Dukedom and was described as a true lady with a perfect education. She met Naoji's grandfather while he was studying abroad and essentially eloped with him to Japan. Throughout the anime series, Naoji is the only one who speaks the common Japanese dialect, whereas the other characters use an extremely polite and somewhat archaic dialect to distinguish themselves.
