Shigeru Aoba

Serving as a computer technician and First Lieutenant at NERV, this heavy metal enthusiast brings a nihilistic edge to the organization. Though his character remains relatively mysterious throughout the series, he is often depicted expressing his passion for music by playing the guitar or even engaging in air guitar performances. While his deep backstory is never fully revealed, his distinct, rock-loving personality provides a unique contrast to the intense atmosphere of the NERV headquarters.
