Aoi Ichikawa (市川 葵, Ichikawa Aoi) is a fictional anime character within the world of Nijiyome Academy Z-Cune Aoi. She serves as the basis for the gear used by the Akibarangers.

History

Aoi started fighting crime in order to protect her best friend, Satomi Funabashi. The anime became popular very quickly; there’s even a movie of the anime coming out. Her series (in the world of Akibaranger) has such a huge fanbase that Nobuo and Yumeria's interest in Super Sentai, in many cases, is overtaken by it. Her design inspired the MMZ-01 and decals of her cover the Machine Itashar. She is voiced by Shuri Toyozuki, later revealed to be an alias for Hiroyo Hakase (being an anagram of her real name, Hiroyo Tsuzuki).

By the events of Season Tsuu, her series had already released several films with Aoi herself having a new design.

Notes

• Aoi Ichikawa is drawn in a style reminiscent of Sailor Moon. Both Super Sentai and Sailor Moon are made by subsidiaries of the Toei Corporation,
