Aomori Hajime is the president of the talent agency Gene Production. At forty-three years old, he is a divorced man who maintains a long-standing professional and personal connection with the protagonist, Yoshio Hatakeda, having known him for a decade. Aomori is visually distinctive due to his mohawk hairstyle, which he currently styles to resemble that of the famous comedian Kogiku Katsura; however, this is a change from his past, as he used to wear his hair in an afro. His role in the story is primarily as an authority figure and employer within the entertainment industry, providing a link to the professional world that the other characters navigate.
