Affiliation(s): NERV
Rank: First Lieutenant
Birthday: May 5
Shigeru Aoba works as a computer technician at NERV with the rank of First Lieutenant. He's best known for fitting the metal head stereotype—complete with the attitude to match. A self-described nihilist, he plays guitar and has a habit of air-guitaring when the mood strikes, which fans often note adds to his laid-back, slightly detached vibe.
The series doesn't really dig into his character much beyond these surface traits. He's there doing his job, playing his instrument, embodying that apathetic rocker energy—but the narrative never gives him much depth or development to work with.
