History

Onigashima, a denim clothing brand, hired him and he climbed quickly, earning the assignment to build an outfit for a runway show Best Jeanist was staging. Meeting the hero, he explained that the piece waited backstage and that he would come for him once the slot neared. He tried talking shop with Dynamight, noting the Sasori Nimaru piece the hero had on, but drew no interest and went to watch the earlier acts instead.

He returned backstage as Jeanist's turn approached and learned that three villains had slipped into the venue, leaving him afraid the show was finished. They surfaced mid-conversation and attacked Jeanist, and though Dynamight helped put them down, Aoni found his outfit destroyed. He fled the building and watched a monitor outside in defeat, only to see Jeanist walk the runway wearing it. Back inside, he asked how. Jeanist had studied his earlier work and the stitching on the ruined garment, then rebuilt it from the tatters with his Quirk. Aoni thanked him and swore he would reach the top of the industry.
