Age Unknown (roughly 24)
Birthday May 5

First Lieutenant Shigeru Aoba is one of the three main computer technicians at NERV HQ, along with Makoto Hyuga and Maya Ibuki.

Profile

Aoba is an avid guitar player, and has been seen carrying a guitar case when in civilian life (Episode 11). Even in Nerv Headquarters, Aoba has been seen to play air guitar when he is not on duty, as well as read guitar magazines.

Aoba is a bit of a nihilist and a little cynical, scoffing at Maya Ibuki's absolute faith in the technology of the age (11, again), and having no second thoughts about firing on JSSDF soldiers in Episode 25'. But he gets along well with his co-workers.

During Third Impact, the transition guides appeared to everyone around the world as a person they loved or trusted, their touch transforming the person into LCL. Aoba, however, experienced only a horde of naked Rei Ayanami, which he cowered from under his desk until he was touched, implying that there was no one that Aoba truly loved or trusted.

Notes

  • His surname comes from the name of the Aoba class heavy cruiser.
  • Aoba's personal name, "Shigeru", makes his full name the same sound similar to Aoba Shigereru, a movie directed by Kihachi Okamoto, which was intentional.


This article bears the unpleasant designation of "Stub." This is a Bad Thing. Provide a great service to NGE fan-geeks everywhere by making it awesomer!
