Spoiler for Naru (it's ok to read this, Manju, since I'm pretty sure you agree with what I'm going to discuss):

From the various discussion posts, I think we're all in agreement that Kazuya Shibuya is not Naru's real name.

Theorizing that Naru is lying about his name, do I still hold to my comment that Naru doesn't outright lie but sidesteps the actual answer and lets people jump to their own (usually incorrect) conclusions? The answer is yes.

I know too many people who use a different name professionally for me to think of Naru's fake name as a lie. (I'll bet that everyone on this forum is not using their real names for that matter.) Although the fact that Naru told everyone a different name is a lie, I don't consider it as a reason for dropping my belief that Naru doesn't lie. I consider him using a different name professionally as a special case.

I figured I ought to clarify my opinion before someone points out that I seem to have majorly contradicted myself.

Spoiler:

Ive never really tied the fact that Shibuya isnt his real name to the fact that he doesnt lie, I more took it as this is who he is now as the pres of the SPR. Plus no one has out right asked him if Shibuya is his real name so why would he say any different. (ya'll follow?) When someone is introduced to you you assume thats there real name. And remember Mai automatically assumed Naru was a nick name that he had already, never asked how he got it. (gah I want to know the significance of that)
If the lack of name on the door is soley to not have ppl learn his real name then I guess Naru can lie just this once but I tie dont this in with that at all.
