Aoga (青鹿, Aoga) is a Shinigami of the 4th Division of the Gotei 13, having survived horrific injuries during a Hollow attack when he was a 6th year student at the Shin'ō Academy.
Appearance[]
Aoga is a tall man with short black hair and a long thin face with small eyes. He wears the standard Shin'ō Academy male uniform and he has his Zanpakutō on a strap across his back. After surviving the Hollow attack on the ill-fated training exercise he led, Aoga gained a large scar on the left side of his chin that extends up to his neck.
Upon becoming a member of the 4th Division, he wears the standard shihakushō with the medical backpack for said division.
History[]
Aoga was a classmate of Shūhei Hisagi. As such, he was a mentor to Momo Hinamori, Renji Abarai and Izuru Kira. Along with Hisagi and Hotaru Kanisawa, he helped lead a group of academy students on a training mission to the material world to practice performing konsō.
When Hisagi was about to end the day's training, Kanisawa was killed by a huge Hollow. Aoga immediately tried to avenge her, but he was injured by the same Hollow before he could attack it.
Aoga survived the ordeal and, realizing that he was not suited for combat, would go on to join the 4th Division of the Gotei 13.
