Description
Kijima Naito is a seventeen-year-old character from the anime Sacred Seven: Shirogane no Tsubasa, a film that reinterprets the original television series from his perspective. He shares a birthday on November 7th and has B blood type. His physical appearance is marked by red hair and red eyes, and his name, Naito, is a phonetic reference to the English word "Knight," hinting at his combative and chivalrous nature.

Naito is a user of the Sacred Seven power, a type of superhuman ability. He belongs to a unique category of individuals who can transform into a monstrous "dark stone" form while fighting. What sets him apart is his reliance on a special serum to maintain his self-control and sanity during this transformation; without it, his condition can deteriorate rapidly. This dependency is a core part of his existence and a primary driver of his actions throughout the story.

His background is rooted in trauma and exploitation. He was confined and subjected to research at a laboratory run by a man named Kenmi Yuji, who is depicted as a former superior and tormentor. Naito eventually escaped this facility and now lives on the run, harboring a deep and bitter grudge against Kenmi, whose life he seeks to claim as a form of retribution for the experiments performed on him. In his fugitive life, he is accompanied by a companion named Fei, who cares for him.

Driven by a powerful desire to be free, Naito is willing to fight against powerful organizations like the Aiba Foundation to secure his liberty. He is positioned as a primary rival to the protagonist, Aruma, whom he considers to be of a lower class than himself. This rivalry is not born of simple malice but from a shared experience as test subjects; Naito warns Aruma about Kenmi’s inhuman treatment of Sacred Seven users, attempting to convince him that they are seen merely as experimental subjects. To achieve his goals of both freedom and revenge, Naito has been known to take drastic measures, such as kidnapping the character Ruri Aiba to manipulate Aruma and pit him against their common enemy, Kenmi.

Naito possesses distinct and formidable abilities. As a user of the Sacred Seven power, he can transform into an alternate, more powerful form, and his transformation is distinguished by two horns, unlike Aruma's single horn. His primary power allows him to freely alter and control the shape of matter around him. This ability is versatile enough to let him reshape objects into weapons and even to phase his body through solid objects by controlling his own physical form. His weapon of choice is known as the "Dark Stone," which he can shape and use in combat.
