Once they got to high school Najimi appeared as a girl wearing the female uniform skirt, but male necktie as clothing in general.

History

Najimi is known for having exceptional talent when it comes to communication. This paired with the fact that they frequently transferred schools growing up has lead everyone in Itan Private School to being their childhood friend, including Hitohito whom Najimi notably knows the dark secrets of. They became the vice precident of Class 1 because of their talent.
They met Shouko for the first time when they were a second year in elementary school, but due to Shouko's inability to speak, she broke Najimi's streak of making friends; causing them to be bedridden for a week from shock.

In high school the trauma follows them and causes them to shake when making eye contact with Shouko. Initially Najimi rejected Hitohito's plea to befriend Shouko, however, after much begging they reluctantly agreed. When walking home with Shouko and Hitohito, a former classmate confessed to Najimi and attempted to assault them when he was rejected. Shouko noticed that the assaulter dropped his keys and attempted to returned them but was unable to get the words out and unintentionally scared him off with her tense expression. After this Najimi decided that they liked Shouko and would help her to make more friends.

They insist on using the feminine suffix -chan but has been known to switch back to being referred to as a boy when convenient: like when rejecting a male classmate that confessed.
