Description
Naoto Suzukawa is a character from the anime Aikatsu! who initially serves as the groundskeeper of Starlight School. He is also the vocalist and leader of the indie rock band More Than True, and is the younger brother of Tiara Yumesaki. In later story arcs, he transitions into a teaching role, becoming a new teacher at Starlight and the homeroom teacher for students Rin Kurosawa and Madoka Amahane.
His personality is reserved and observant. He is often seen as quiet and detached, and he does not readily share personal information or show overt interest in the daily affairs of the students. Despite this aloof exterior, he genuinely cares about the well-being of the academy and its students, and he is known to assist them when they face problems. He gave Aoi Kiriya his rare Aikatsu cards Futuring Girl, and he frequently offers words of advice to Ichigo Hoshimiya and her friends. Naoto is sometimes incredulous of Ichigo’s energetic and impulsive nature, but he grows accustomed to her personality over time.
His motivations are not explicitly spelled out, but his actions suggest a desire to support the next generation of idols while pursuing his own musical career. He maintains a secret life as a performer, and his band More Than True gains popularity after signing with a production company. Naoto’s dual life as a groundskeeper and rock vocalist underscores his preference for a low-key role at school while expressing himself through music elsewhere.
In terms of key relationships, Naoto interacts most frequently with the main cast. He develops a mentor-like bond with Ichigo, initially guiding her with his experience. Later in the series, the dynamic shifts, and Ichigo herself offers advice to Naoto, highlighting his own growth and the mutual respect between them. He shares a friendly rapport with Johnny Beppu, tolerating Johnny’s energetic antics and the nickname Coolkawa without taking offense. His relationship with his sister Tiara is a familial connection that adds depth to his background.
Naoto undergoes notable character development across the series. He transitions from a quiet groundskeeper with little personal involvement to a teacher who takes on more responsibility for students. His interactions with Ichigo and others mature, showing that he becomes more open to receiving help and acknowledging his own growth as a person and performer.
His notable abilities include strong musical talent as a vocalist and band leader, as well as practical knowledge of Aikatsu cards, which he passes on to others. He is also shown to be perceptive and capable of giving sound advice, both about idol activities and personal matters.
