The collar has two metal pins, one for seniors and another of the school emblem. His dress shoes are dark brown leather cap toe Oxfords. He carries a school issued travel bag with white straps to school, in which he keeps a copy of the ''[[wikipedia:Man'yōshū|Man'yōshū]]'' that he is shown reading in his spare time.

When fused with Aogami, he is covered in a body suit stylized with the white curves representing the spiral, a motif from ancient pre-Christian relgions around the world embodying a sense of reverence for primal life force. The fluid blue hair and suit lines just as the spiral also represent life force as well as the flow of water. This is because since ancient times long hair has been considered a divine source of life force holding transcendent abilities | When fused with Aogami, he is covered in a body suit stylized with the white curves representing the spiral, a motif from ancient pre-Christian relgions around the world embodying a sense of reverence for primal life force.

The boots have a thin platform running along the center of each sole resembling the shape of traditional Japanese footwear. | ||
He is usually inexpressive, rarely showing any emotion and is stated to be an introverted bookworm. Though he tries to make an effort to follow rules he isn't particularly strict in this regard, as shown when he attempts to follow the buddy system put in place after the recent murders and chooses to return to the dormitories alone when he is unsuccessful. He is also someone that often helps others, either happily or begrudgingly depending on the choices of the player. He is an inattentive student, shown day dreaming, and not engaging much with his fellow classmates though he also isn't disliked by them either, having an amicable relationship with [[Miyazu Atsuta]] prior to the start of the game. However, he is also shown to be fearful when confronted with uncertainty, collapsing to the ground when first entering Da'at and nervously hugging his arm prior to the Pandemonic Summit, and is shown to be distrustful or even afraid of Bethel through his dialog choices. In spite of this, he still continues to face the dangers and fight as a Nahobino. | He is usually inexpressive, rarely showing any emotion and is stated to be an introverted bookworm.

The Nahobino is named after figures in Japanese mythology from the Kojiki. These origins also compliment the origins of [[Magatsuhi Skills]]. After Izanagi returns from Yomi, he bathes to rid himself of the impurities accumulated in Yomi. The impurities from his body turn into two gods, [[Yaso Magatsuhi|Yasomagatsuhi-no-kami]] and [[Oo Magatsuhi|Ōmagatsuhi-no-kami]]. The two are associated with misfortune, calamity, disaster, and ruin | The Nahobino is named after figures in Japanese mythology from the Kojiki.
