Biography:

Naotoki was born into a low-ranking samurai family in Satsuma. At that time, the Shimazu clan was strong in Satsuma, and a low-ranking samurai like Naotoki’s family could not dream of a successful career. Naotoki took on the expectations of his family and tried to make a name for himself as a mercenary in the navy of the Kono clan, which was competing with the Mouri clan in the Seto Inland Sea. At that time, the Kono clan was on the verge of extinction, and there were not many people willing to become mercenaries, but Naotoki dared to take a gamble by throwing himself into a disadvantageous battle. As a result, he lost the bet and was attacked by the enemy while he was outnumbered. At that time, Naotoki cursed himself for his naivety. He cursed his folly in thinking that his achievements would shine brighter among the powerless. And that thought led to Talpa/Arago. Naotoki was able to transform the Yakushi1 armor because of his inherent obedient nature. Talpa/Arago had brainwashed Naotoki to turn his mind to himself only, and to oppose all others.

  1. Yakushi Nyorai is the Medicine Master Buddha and the altruistic hope for all people to find the ideal physical body to achieve enlightenment. Yakushi commands the 12 Warrior Generals and is the chief Buddha for helping to alleviate fears.
    (Basically, Kaos instilled Doku with a healer/doctor inner strength to it aka the healing Buddha Yakushi.)

(Translation by Dawn Sanada of the URWWS from page 172 of Memorials, book 2, with some notes on Yakushi by XMezumiiru.)

Physical Age: Somewhere between the age of 11 to 14 when he became a Dark Warlord/Mashou. So between 15 to 18 during the TV series.
(Became a Dark Warlord/Mashou between 1563-1565. He’d be 11 at the youngest if he joined before his birthday.)
1 year in the Netherworld/Youjakai = 100 Earth years.
