Naobita Zenin

Naobito was a contradictory character. On the one hand, he was arrogant and aloof, raised in the traditionalist values ​​of the Zenin clan, which led him to reject those he considered weaker than himself, even members of his own family. He clashed with his niece, Maki Zenin, threatening her through her sister and using his influence to prevent her from advancing in the ranks.
On the other hand, in critical situations, he maintained composure and strategic thinking. However, Naobito was prone to alcoholism—he often asked for drinks and, during incidents, would become distracted by this instead of actively helping his allies. He also openly expressed his dislike for Satoru Gojo, stating that he wouldn't mind seeing his clan fall. During missions, he often mocked both allies and enemies.

Naobito is an elderly man of tall, lean build, but well-muscled. He has medium-length gray hair (usually combed back and reaching just below his neck), gray eyes, long, thick eyebrows, and a thin, English-style mustache that extends beyond his cheeks.
In everyday life, he wore an olive-green yukata, belted with a turquoise sash, and kept a red gourd filled with alcohol nearby. For missions, he wore a dark blue yukata under a light gray haori, black hakama, white tabi, and brown zori sandals. His character design was inspired by Salvador Dalí.

Naobita has a Projection Sorcery technique: it divides one second into 24 frames—he moves strictly within these frames, and anyone he touches is also forced to move with an accuracy of 1/24 of a second. This effectively "slows down" the opponent. He also possesses a secret art called "Falling Flower Sensation," a countermeasure against territories (special magical zones).

The 26th head of the Zenin clan, one of the three great clans of magicians.
Naoya Zenin's father, and also has a conflict with Maki Zenin, who challenges the clan's traditions.
An experienced and powerful mage of advanced age (he is about 71 years old), but also hot-tempered, arrogant and a follower of strict clan traditions.
