Character Outline

Koyo Aoba (葉青葉紅, Koyo Aoba) is a member of the Shimon Famiglia. He previously attended Shimon Middle School, but he and his family transfered 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. Koyo 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 Koyo 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.

Inheritance Ceremony Arc

He first appears with Ryohei when they have difficulty answering questions in class. 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 Adhelheid'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.


Later, Koyo is seen with other Shimon Family 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 Family hideout, when Adelheid proposes protecting the Vongola Family, 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 Family 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.

Trivia

  • Koyo can be translated as Red Leaves, while Aoba means Green Leaves.
  • Despite being an idiot like Ryohei, Tsuna thinks he looks smart.
  • Just like Ryohei, he loves Boxing and calls himself the "Hope of the Boxing World."
  • In the Reborn! Fandom, he is known as 54.
  • His catchphrase is "In the end!"
