History

Backstory

Very little is known about Aoyama's origin. He is said to be a time-cop from another place in space-time, sent to the 25th Ward with Akama to carry out a mission. At one point the two joined the 25th Ward Heinous Crimes Unit.

The 25th Ward

Aoyama first appears in #02 good looking guy, working as part of the investigation into the death of Yasushi Kamijo. He and Akama were tasked with digging up information from Kamijo's workplace, and was intoduced to the new member, Uehara.

Aoyama would not appear again until the beginning of #05 electride, being briefed by Hatoba on the death of Yuki Ishimura, who may have a connection to the divers and Kosuke Kurumizawa. He and Akama were given orders to look into the identity of the victim.

Red, Blue, and Green

Aoyama is one of the main characters of Red, Blue, and Green. He first appears in Red Out, meeting with Akama at the Union Hotel during the events of #05 electride. They discuss Akama's orders to eliminate Mokutaro Shiroyabu. They agree that he has become to dangerous and has to be dealt with, despite him being their friend. Akama agreed to go after Shiro, and Aoyama went after Hatoba.

In Blue Out, Aoyama meets with Hatoba, claiming to have been sent by Akama to protect him. He broke the fourth wall to bemoan his status as a supporting character with very few lines. He critizied Hatoba for putting Akama in danger, and swore that if Akama gets killed, he would go after him. He then called Midori Midorikawa, telling her that she had a job at Room 303 of the hotel, where Shiroyabu was said to be staying. He then called the Union rep, Kurumizawa, to inform him about the job. He asked for a car to be sent for him, and said he was going to check on Shiro.

In Green Out, it was shown that Aoyama was the one who scouted Midorikawa for Union. He noticed her at a train station after one of her cleanings, and said that he could smell blood on her. At the end of the story, Kurumizawa speaks to Aoyama, telling him that the cleaning is over, and to make contact. Aoyama asked if he could visit Kurumizawa in the tropics, and he agreed.

black out

Aoyama and Akama appeared once again in #07 black out, immediately following the shootout between Hatoba and Michiru Kosaka. They said that they were listening in, and asked what was going on. Hatoba told them to dispose of the body, but the two instead held Hatoba at gunpoint. They went on to make jokes about the film Taken, a movie from the future. They claimed to be executioner-cops sent there by their boss. After Shinko Kuroyanagi arrived to defend Hatoba, the three entered a stand-off. They agreed to allow Uehara to choose the outcome of the fight.
