So the realistic factory options are:
Tamiya
Kyosho ???
Maybe Hot Bodies are getting serious again.

X-Ray - not terribly likely, I think.
Or will he mix and match sponsors/drives...
My bet is .... Tamiya alongside MR. They seem to be fairly chummy.

Maybe he is tired of processional racing and he will join Team Durango and just be sponsored as club racer
#5
Matsukura racing, touring cars?
#6
Surely needs to be somewhere with 1/12, TC and 1/10 off-road?
TRF would be unlikely I think.
Maybe one of the new brands like VBC?

Maybe he has secretly always wanted to break away from his mentor's electric only success and go nitro racing. Mugen baby

Well Yokomo still has a lot of strong talent in the 1/12 department. There are a handful of young up and coming drivers who are on pace wit Naoto. In a couple years time you'll see a few of them on the 1/12th worlds podium,
I think Naoto will stay with a Japanese manufacture (language barrier). Either HPI, Mugen, Kyosho. I think Kyosho will take him on, their 1/12th department is lacking and they have all classes for him to race.

I think too that HPI would be a good choice.
They could also release a new old Cyclone X12 and he will be all-set !

Sad news.... I have feeling he will join Tamiya. Maybe one of the reasons he left is because Yokomo #1 driver is Volker
