He seems to be the most brash member of the transfer students and also seems to portray a more colder side. He easily becomes enraged at even the slightest negative comment towards himself or his Famiglia. Kouyou showed disapproval of his Famiglia being considered beneath Vongola when Gokudera made said comment, which could have escalated if it were not for [[Adelheid Suzuki]] intervening. Still, Kouyou seems to have bitter relationships with his Famiglia members. One such example is [[Julie Kato]], who he considers lazy when he refuses to partake in his duties. He is not above making fun of [[Enma Kozato|Enma]], who is the boss of the Famiglia. He seems to be more respectful to women, or at least finds them more tolerable as shown within his interactions with Tsuna's mother.

He is later seen on the school's rooftop with the other transfer students and Tsuna's Guardians, watching Hibari fight Adelheid. Koyo even encourages [[Adelheid]]. to "defeat the Nami student." He appears to be surprised that Hibari did not waver at Adelheid's beautiful underwear-showing attack, and that he was able to push Adelheid across the rooftop. Tsuna (who is pushed by Reborn) stops the fight by coming between [[Hibari]]'s and Adelheid's attack. [[Reborn]] says that the Shimon are the Vongola's guests for the [[Inheritance Ceremony]], surprising Koyo with his ability to speak fluently. Reborn even states that the [[Shimon Famiglia]] has been their ally even before the time of Primo, but he did not know of them because they have become weaker over time. Koyo is riled up that Reborn speaks the truth so plainly and asks if Reborn has never heard of sugar-coating his words.

Like [[Ryohei Sasagawa|Ryohei]], Kouyou has a great love of boxing, though he see's it as a means to live rather than just for sport. As such he is not against using foul means to win. He appears cocky when in battle; though, with the abilities he has shown, he has reason to be. On the battlefield, he has incredibly quick reflexes, amazing speed, lightning-fast jabs, and devastatingly powerful punches that can easily break bones. As well as this he has incredible endurance, even after receiving Ryohei's attack at 60% power he was able to fight normally and was still able to stand, for a short period, after another attack at 100%.

* '''[[Simon Ring|Forest Simon Ring]]''': Kouyou possesses one of the seven Simon Rings sealed by the Vongola Sin. When activated, armor covers both his arms and legs, and across his chest. They allow him to use his leaf-shaped Flames of the Forest at full strength. With them, he can manipulate plants such as leaves and vines to cut and restrain opponents.
  +
* '''[[Forest Flame]]''': Kouyou's Simon Ring emits the flames of the forest, which take on the appearance of leaves. These flames have the power to control and grow vegetation. Kouyou can efficiently control the flames at will creating entire arenas of barbed vines or attacking with a blazing storm of leaves that cut rather than burn. When fighting, his main strategy is to use the leaves as a torrential attack in which a tornado of razor sharp leaves surrounds an opponent. Any misstep and the opponent will end up being shredded by the leaves. This torrent also 'blinds' the opponent and allows Kouyou to attack from any direction.
  +
* '''[[Killer Point Vision]]''': Kouyou has incredible eyesight that gives him a heightened sense of his surroundings. Not only this but he can also see his opponents [[Killer Points]] and hone in on them using his exceptional boxing reflexes. However the information processed can cause his eyes to overheat if used for a prolonged period of time. As such when not fighting seriously Kouyou wears glasses that limit his view to that of a normal human.
   
 
== Trivia ==
Later, Koyo is seen with other Shimon Famiglia Members and Vongola Guardians at Nammy's restaurant, discussing how to protect Tsuna in each area of Namimori. Gokudera creates a plan which seperates everyone into groups. Koyo is aggressively against working under the Vongola, since he believes that the Shimon Famiglia should be treated as equals, but he drops it after Adelheid quiets him. Before arrangements could be made, Adelheid decides that she needs to consult the other members of the family. At the Shimon Famiglia hideout, when Adelheid proposes protecting the [[Vongola Famiglia]], Julie states that he is not feeling well, so he will not help. At this, Koyo starts another argument, complaining about how he will only chase women and gamble instead. Koyo also starts to tease Enma for being weak and not trying to win a fight. Adelheid asks Enma to show her the bulky pendant that he has hidden under his shirt, saying that the pendant is proof that he has inherited the title as the next Boss of the Shimon Famiglia.

The Shimon Famiglia decides to guard Tsuna, with the first day being Koyo's turn. Due to their competitive natures, Koyo and Ryohei compete to see who is a better bodyguard. As they could not physically fight, Reborn makes them compete to solve a set of problems the quickest. However, the problems are printed on plates made of extra hard ceramic. Reborn states that the competition would have to be postponed if the plates were to break. The problems are too difficult for either of them to answer, so they try to break the plates. Alone, they could not destroy them. They realize that they must work together, so Koyo holds the plate while Ryohei breaks it by using [[Maximum Cannon]]. Reborn notes that Koyo is able to endure the punch without suffering any injuries and concludes that the Shimon Family is not weak at all.

Koyo and the rest of Shimon Famiglia are later seen at the hospital with the others about Yamamoto's condition after he was attacked in the baseball locker room by [[Kaoru Mizuno]]. Koyo also tells them that they no had leads, but was interrupted by Reborn, who said that he had found a lead. This news surprised the Shimon Famiglia, but Reborn said that he couldn't share it with the Shimon Famiglia since it involved "secret information about the Vongola." This news does seem to spark an interest to the Shimon Famiglia, but Reborn says that the Vongola needed some privacy. He does, however, give them an warning that they also might be attacked. Koyo is later seen at the ceremony with the rest of the Shimon Famiglia. They all were surprised to see Yamamoto well. He is later seen amongst the crowds during the ceremony waiting along with the rest of the Shimon Famiglia, when Tsuna was to receive the [[Vongola Sin]]''' '''from the Ninth. After an explosion, the sin was broken open, supposedly by Enma. The ninth revealed that the Sin in the ceremony was merely a fake. He proclaimed that the real one was in a safe that was impossible to penetrate. Suddenly, the safe is broken open, revealing Koyo and Enma with rest of the Shimon. Enma states that they came to the ceremony to take back "sin" for the Shimon Famiglia, and get revenge on the "Vongola".

Overview
Synopsis

Kouyou Aoba[2] is a member of the Simon Famiglia. He previously attended Simon Middle School, but he and his family transferred to Namimori after an earthquake hit their area. They chose Namimori because it is relatively earthquake free and they are invited to the Vongola Decimo's Inheritance Ceremony. Kouyou uses boxing gloves as his weapon, just like Ryohei. Both he and Ryohei also have the same temper, as seen when they quickly get angry and neither of them want to stop the fight. He is sensitive over his contradictory name (Aoba meaning "green leaves," and Kouyou meaning "red leaves"). He is firm in his belief that, no matter what his first and last name mean, they are still the same leaves.

Appearance

Kouyou's regular attire seems to consist of his school uniform, and despite his appearance, it belies his brash personality similar to Ryohei. Furthermore, it hides his incredibly fit body, which usually appears slender with his top on. He commonly wears small-framed glasses that are pitch black when looked through but seems like regular glasses to anyone looking at him, and possesses green hair as well as red eyes which seems to be a trait shared amongst the other members of Simon. His bespectacled appearance gives off the impression that he is a bright individual; however, it only belies his actual intelligence.

Personality

Kouyou and Ryohei Sasagawa share the same love of boxing. Kouyou even has self-proclaimed himself as "the Hope of the Boxing World." Despite his love of boxing, his hate for Vongola exceeds and takes precedence over it. In fact, he has stated that he has no boxer pride as his fists are a way to live. This contradicts Ryohei, who has incredible respect for boxing and all of his aspects and fights for is friends. In combat he seems to favor anything but a fair fight, preferring to fight allowing everything that is forbidden in sanctioned boxing including "throwing sand in the eyes, kneeing, and any other form of foul play" Another similarity between the two is that both have some kind of catchphrase. Ryohei refers to many instances as "Extreme" while Kouyou tends to end his sentences with "In the end."

He seems to be the most brash member of the transfer students and also seems to portray a more colder side. He easily becomes enraged at even the slightest negative comment towards himself or his Famiglia. Kouyou showed disapproval of his Famiglia being considered beneath Vongola when Gokudera made said comment, which could have escalated if it were not for Adelheid Suzuki intervening. Still, Kouyou seems to have bitter relationships with his Famiglia members. One such example is Julie Kato, who he considers lazy when he refuses to partake in his duties. He is not above making fun of Enma, who is the boss of the Famiglia. He seems to be more respectful to women, or at least finds them more tolerable as shown within his interactions with Tsuna's mother.

Weapons and Abilities

Koyo Aoba Weapon

Kouyou Aoba's Ring Weapon

Like Ryohei, Kouyou has a great love of boxing, though he see's it as a means to live rather than just for sport. As such he is not against using foul means to win. He appears cocky when in battle; though, with the abilities he has shown, he has reason to be. On the battlefield, he has incredibly quick reflexes, amazing speed, lightning-fast jabs, and devastatingly powerful punches that can easily break bones. As well as this he has incredible endurance, even after receiving Ryohei's attack at 60% power he was able to fight normally and was still able to stand, for a short period, after another attack at 100%.

  • Forest Simon Ring: Kouyou possesses one of the seven Simon Rings sealed by the Vongola Sin. When activated, armor covers both his arms and legs, and across his chest. They allow him to use his leaf-shaped Flames of the Forest at full strength. With them, he can manipulate plants such as leaves and vines to cut and restrain opponents.
  • Forest Flame: Kouyou's Simon Ring emits the flames of the forest, which take on the appearance of leaves. These flames have the power to control and grow vegetation. Kouyou can efficiently control the flames at will creating entire arenas of barbed vines or attacking with a blazing storm of leaves that cut rather than burn. When fighting, his main strategy is to use the leaves as a torrential attack in which a tornado of razor sharp leaves surrounds an opponent. Any misstep and the opponent will end up being shredded by the leaves. This torrent also 'blinds' the opponent and allows Kouyou to attack from any direction.
  • Killer Point Vision: Kouyou has incredible eyesight that gives him a heightened sense of his surroundings. Not only this but he can also see his opponents Killer Points and hone in on them using his exceptional boxing reflexes. However the information processed can cause his eyes to overheat if used for a prolonged period of time. As such when not fighting seriously Kouyou wears glasses that limit his view to that of a normal human.

Trivia

  • Kouyou can be translated as Red Leaves, while Aoba means Green Leaves. This is a reference to his Forest Flame and his battlefield being in a forest (where he claimed the vegetation [green] "was regrown after absorbing the blood [red] of the dead First Simon").
  • In the Reborn! Fandom, he is known as 54.
  • He slightly resembles Nobuchika Ginoza, a character from Akira Amano's other work, Psycho-Pass.
