Background[]
Aoi's has been interested in animations. In her second year of high school, Aoi was impressed with Ema's drawing in the sports day and imagined how her drawing will be in an anime. Therefore, she formed a club with her four friends.
They created an animation titled "Shinbutsu Konkou SHICHIFUKUJIN", which was shown at their high school's cultural festival. During production, everyone found the roles they are best suited for and contributed to the project. During production, Aoi discovered that she isn't the best at drawing, computer graphics, scriptwriting, or voice acting. However, the other members believed that she's good at implementing and manage ideas. Therefore, they elected Aoi to be a director.
Aoi: I don't have any skill like all of you, but I want to join your dreams. Seriously.
Ema: What did you say, Oi-Chan! Do you know that we can't ever be a group without you? That is your best skill we can never imitate! We finished the anime because of you!
~ From Chapter 8.
Before graduation, the girls made a promise to reunite one day and create another anime together. They set this creed in stone by sharing doughnuts.
After graduating from college, Aoi wanted to join the anime industry. However, she hadn't got any job offers in two months, which depressed her until she got a hire offer from Musashino Animation. Later, she came there to work as a production assistant. After one year, she began working her first anime, Exodus!.
After another year, the company is hired to work on an anime adaptation for a manga titled Third Aerial Girls Squad. At this time, Aoi is promoted by director Seiichi Kinoshita to her new position as Head Production Assistant after her colleague, Yutaka Honda, resigned from the company to pursue his dreams. This puts a great amount of pressure on Aoi as she is immediately overwhelmed by the tasks involved in her position.
After finishing Third Aerial Girls Squad, Musashino went smoothly until producing Time Hippopotamus: Due to the dispute between TRAP and Musashino, the anime producing stopped. This incident dampened all of the employees, including Aoi. Most of the employees quit after the incident, but Aoi is the one who stays.
Chronology[]
Etymology[]
- The name Aoi is written in hiragana (あおい), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (葵 or 碧), it could possibly mean:
- 葵 - "hollyhock, althea".
- 碧 - "green, blue" (ao).
- Aoi's surname Miyamori means "temple, shrine, palace" (宮 Miya) and "forest" (森 Mori).
Trivia[]
- According to the staff, the reason her last name is Aoi is that it sounds more slurp when announcing.[1]
- Various people give Aoi different nicknames, such as:
- Oi-chan (by Ema Yasuhara and Shizuka Sakaki)
- Oi-chan-senpai (by Midori Imai and Misa Toudou)
- Miyamori (by most of her coworkers)
- Meow-mori (by Erika Yano)
- Aoi often has conversations in her mind by imagining stuffed toys coming to life and talking to each other that go by the name of Mimuji (ミムジ) and Roro (ロロ), a Gothic Lolita girl with an eyepatch and a white teddy bear, who appear in the first ending and as decals on her jet in the second opening.
- Her birthday is on March 30th.
- Mizushima, however, states that Mimuji and Roro are real in the anime world. To "Prove" this, he draws a cut which Ai Kunogi sees them in Episode 24.
