Naotsugu

Overview
Naotsugu is Shiroe's friend and another player trapped in the fantasy world. He is a lighthearted warrior and an important part of Shiroe's team along with Akatsuki.

Appearence
Naotsugu has short, light brown hair. He wears heavy armor.

Personality
Naotsugu is an 'open-pervert' meaning he freely talks about his perverted thoughts and is often proud of that fact. This often leads to Akatsuki hitting him out of irritation.

'The Warrior of Panties', Naotsugu is the cheerful big brother character of the team, albeit one subjected to frequent physical abuse from Akatsuki. Two years older than Shiroe, Naotsugu is also a member of the Tea Party, and first met the latter four years before the main story. The two has been close friends since then and has even met offline a number of times. Due to work, he was absent from Elder Tales two years ago, and had the luck to be caught up in the mess on the very day he returned to the game.

A good person and a reliable tank, Naotsugu's greatest fault is his incessant need to crack off-color jokes, especially those on panties. Ironically, he's surprisingly shy when he's on the receiving end of such humor.

Episode 1
For the first time in three years, Naotsugu logged into Elder Tale at the start of the expansion update only to become one of the 30,000 Japanese players to get trapped inside it. He eventually meets Shiroe in front of a large tree.
