Jun Aoi

Jun Aoi is a fictional character in the anime and manga series "Martian Successor Nadesico".

A talented military officer of the UEAF, Jun is a stickler for rules and regulations, as well as stating the obvious, he is the executive officer aboard the Nadesico. He can often be found beside the beautiful and bubbly Captain Yurika Misumaru, whom he has had a serious crush on for years when her family moved from Mars to Earth ten years prior to the Jovian War. In fact, he cares about Yurika so much that he practically gave up his military career so that he could serve aboard the Nadesico with her. [Of course his love goes unnoticed by the oblivious Captain.]

He stands ramrod straight so much that one would think he's got a steel bar for a spine. He is a trained Aestivalis pilot, though one wouldn't think so after he nearly broke his neck rushing to the aid of the other Aestivalis pilots. He is also a skilled organizer, since he was the one who wrote the lyrics and music for Yurika's talent contest entry. (He probably designed her costume, too)

He is a rather mundane guy, and the only thing he has a passion for is Yurika, for whom he gives 110% all the time. But she's too infatuated with Akito Tenkawa to notice. He is in no way a risk taker, and always preferes to play it safe. He is generally well-liked, but doesn't have the depth to be a major character of this series.

In "", Jun becomes a captain himself. However, he is still pretty much a doormat since Yukina bullies him into getting her in on the Nadesico mission to save Yurika.
