Description
Naoto Matsuzaka, also known as Sazer Tawlon, is the leader of the Earth Tribe among the twelve GranSazer warriors. Before his awakening as a Sazer, Naoto was a highly accomplished fighter who achieved an undefeated record in competition. He eventually retired from the spotlight and dedicated himself to teaching self-defense techniques to younger individuals, preferring a life away from the public eye. His personality is marked by a strong sense of individualism and emotional restraint; he is a lone wolf who often trains and lives in isolated locations, believing that strength and self-reliance are paramount. This stoic and detached demeanor stems from a past where he devoted himself entirely to fighting, having thrown away other aspects of his life.
His motivation for fighting is initially personal, focusing on his own strength and solitude. However, after witnessing the battle between the giant mecha Garuda and Dolcrus, his Sazer powers are awakened. He transforms into Sazer Tawlon, the warrior represented by the zodiac sign Taurus, clad in yellow armor shaped after a bull. As a member of the Earth Tribe, he wields the Bull Cannon, a pair of shoulder-mounted cannons capable of firing a charged energy attack known as the Matador Burst.
In the story, Sazer Tawlon serves as the leader of the Earth Tribe, which also includes Ran Saotome as Sazer Visuel and Gou Kamiya as Sazer Tragos. Initially, Naoto operates independently, often clashing with his fellow Sazers due to his solitary nature. As the series progresses, he gradually learns to trust and cooperate with his tribe members, developing a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. This growth is a key part of his character arc, moving from a detached loner to a reliable leader who fights alongside his comrades to protect Earth.
His notable abilities include enhanced physical power and endurance befitting the Earth element, as well as the use of his Bull Cannon for long-range attacks. He can also summon and pilot the Earth Tribe's giant robot, the ChouSeishin Ganshiisa, and combine his power with his tribe for formidable team attacks.
