When Taiya visits Raita to apologize for his package getting stolen, Raita brushes it off and tells him to not dwell on it. He also tells Taiya that the package contained a metal piece from outer space, and shows him a collection of drawings made by children all around the world in retribution for Taiya and the Boonboomgers' help.

Right as Taiya and Bundorio Bunderas have finished creating the Champion Carrier, Raita calls Taiya and asks him to deliver the Boonboom Cars to a children's event sponsored by him. As the Hashiriyans intervene and delay the Boonboomgers, Taiya calls Raita to explain this. Raita accepts his apologies and tells them to not hurry, but then calls Tokoyari and updates him on the situation. TV STORY-Bakuage 34: Cars That Carry Dreams

Personality[]
Raita Naito is a cheerful businessman who isn't above using his wealth to help people in need. He's also very proud and grateful of Taiya, whom he keeps calling "young boy" even though he's an adult, and entrusts him in secure deliveries. He's also very humble, as whenever Taiya tries crediting Raita as the one behind his success, he shrugs it off and tells Taiya that children around the world are happy because of him and the other Boonboomgers.
Later however, he is revealed to be a heartless and cruel person, his previous kindness a façade as he calls out Taiya’s idealism on why should he help people from screaming if someone else gets to benefit from their expense. Demonstrating this mindset as Waruido Spindo beats onto Taiya mercilessly and he shows no emotion. His cruel side further shown when he revealed that when he previously entrusted Taiya with delivering the BoonBoom Cars with the champion carrier for children, he secretly modified some to be vulnerable to a Car Jack from the BoonBoom Danger. And much like what he said before, he congratulates Taiya for selling out all his assets to Lightning Tech laughing evilly before the transaction began.
