Naoto Yanagi Husbando

Naoto Yanagi is the male protagonist of the Last Game manga. He is the heir to the Yanagi business conglomerate and comes from a rich and influential family. Because of his wealth—paired with his looks, athleticism and brains—he was treated much like a King during his elementary school days. However, he was eclipsed by Mikoto Kujou—a girl the complete opposite of him—in both academics and sports, after she transferred into his fifth-grade class. That was the first time Naoto tasted the feeling of defeat, and after a brief confrontation with her that left him shocked, he vowed to outdo her no matter the cost. For the past ten years, Naoto has been chasing Mikoto to every school she has attended, in order to keep his promise to defeat her. Initially his self-proclaimed rival, she eventually grows into his love interest due to all the positive changes she brought him. In his second year at college, he joins the Astronomy Club along with Mikoto and promises that he’ll always be by her side, but also win one final game with her. Thus, creating the titular “Last Game”.
