Aoga (青鹿, Aoga) is a Shinigami of the 4th Division of the Gotei 13,[1] having survived horrific injuries during a Hollow attack when he was a 6th year student at the Shin'ō Academy.[2]
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.[1]
Upon becoming a member of the 4th Division, he wears the standard shihakushō with the medical backpack for said division.[1]
History[]
Aoga, Hisagi, and Kanisawa prepare to leave on the mission.
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.[2]
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.[2]
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.[1]

Trivia[]
- The mission with Aoga lead for the first years differed between the manga and the anime. In the anime, the students were practicing killing Hollows using dummy-Hollows.[3]
