He was helpful to his family by cooking meals for his whole family. Aoki would be forced to leave the family because his father got very sick and ended up running his family ramen shop called "Iwata's Chinese Noodles", making use of the natural cooking talent. The ramen shop expanded to three stores thanks to his recipes. Aoki used his money to fund his sibling's school fees and never thought twice about helping his siblings. Aoki had a delinquent past with his long-time friend and schoolmate Tatsuya Kimura. During high school, the duo were playing baseball in the Little League. In a summer tournament, they won against Kiyota and Kuwahara, taking what was most precious to them due to a bet: dirt from the Kōshien Stadium and throwing it off a bridge. Aoki and Kimura left baseball as they thought it was too easy due to not having any competition at the time. Together they would also pick fights and wreak havoc frequently until he met and attacked Mamoru Takamura in an arcade. Takamura was given a concussion by Aoki by kicking his head into an arcade screen, but Takamura retaliated and defeats Aoki, leading him and Kimura on a path of revenge- their goal being Takamura in the end. After several failed attempts Aoki and Kimura found their way to the Kamogawa gym where they find Takamura. There, they were introduced to boxing, and trained with a single goal of defeating Takamura in mind. Upon their winning of their individual debut matches the two realised that Takamura was no longer just their 'goal' but their inspiration and idol as well. Sometime after a KO loss, Aoki was told by Kimura that he lost because of his weak jaw. Aoki then began wondering what he can use against another's jaw. A frog then jumped on his hand, which Aoki noted how, just like him, frogs can not fly. However, if it tried hard enough, maybe it would grow wings. He then thought of the Frog Punch, which gave him confidence and used it in his next match. During his time as a boxer he would devise a wide variety of unorthodox techniques mainly used to trick and confuse his opponents. Despite his tricky nature he still finds himself winding up in “mud fights” where both him and his opponent are barely swinging at each other) Techniques: (frog punch: the frog punch involves ducking under an opponent and then lunging upwards with a powerful uppercut mimicking the leap of a frog. This punch is often used as a follow up to the look away, surprising the opponent with the added momentum of the jump. The frog punch is in fact a dangerous technique, as the momentum and the motion of the punch adds tremendous power to the punch. Despite its effectiveness, the Frog Punch has several weaknesses. It is only useful at close range and the wind-up is fairly obvious to anyone, making it easier to anticipate. The trajectory of the punch is also predictable, which makes it easy for an opponent to counter. + The double punch: the double punch is the throwing of right and left straight simultaneously. By launching both punches at the same time, it can catch an opponent off guard. While the technique may be effective in disrupting the opponent's focus, it lacks the necessary power to deliver a knockout or serious damage. Because the force of each punch is divided between both fists, making it less effective in causing real harm. While it’s a good tool for surprise, it’s not a reliable knockout strategy on its own. + The look away: The "Look Away" technique involves suddenly stopping your movements and glancing to the side, which makes the opponent instinctively look in the same direction. This brief distraction can create an opening for an attack. The main advantage is that it breaks the opponent’s focus, giving you a chance to strike. However, it comes with risks: if the opponent catches on, it leaves you open to attacks, and if something behind you catches their attention, the trick won’t work. It’s a high-risk, high-reward tactic that requires perfect timing and awareness. This is actually a strategic psychological move because it relies on their natural reaction, creating an opening for you to take advantage of. This technique is best used when the match has been ongoing for awhile and when your opponent is tired. + Playing dead: The "Playing Dead" technique involves acting like you're tired or hurt, tricking your opponent into thinking they have you on the ropes. This gives them false confidence, causing them to throw harder, more powerful punches, thinking they're about to knock you out. However, this leads to them tiring themselves out as they use up energy, while you conserve yours. Once they start getting exhausted, you can shift gears and fight seriously, taking advantage of their fatigue. + Pretending to be alive: the “pretending to be alive” technique is a psychological trick where the user acts as if they are fully energized and at peak health, even when they're actually fatigued. By maintaining an appearance strong vitality, you create doubt in your opponent’s mind. They begin to question whether their punches are having any effect or if they are even capable of hurting you. This uncertainty can throw off their rhythm, making them second-guess their strategy and leading to hesitation in their attacks. The technique works by subtly shifting the opponent’s focus from offense to doubt, giving the user an advantage in controlling the pace of the fight. + Dragging them into the swamp: Aoki tires out his opponents by throwing out his various tricks at them getting them into a semi no oxygen state letting him get the jump on them as a way to get ahead in points or even knock them out + Spinning corkscrew: a typical corkscrew punch with the only difference being Aoki is facing another directing rather than facing his opponent directly)]
