'''Noboru Aikawa''' (born on August 9, 1965), better known by the main of his multiple pen names, '''Sho Aikawa''', is a Japanese writer and scripwriter. He's a veteran of the anime scene, having debuted in TheEighties and keeping at it today, but has also diversified into live action and tokusatsu series.

Aikawa might be the most prestigious and prolific anime staff member you have never heard about, except when he has been criticized or caused controversy. He could be considered the anime version of Creator/PaulWSAnderson, the kind of writer you hire in order to make someone else's anime and/or just churn out watchable crap - yet at the same time, he has left his mark in history in the form of dark, nasty and politically provocative plots whenever he has been given the freedom to. His thematic work has been pretty varied, having had a hand in such divergent titles like ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'', ''Anime/AngelCop'' and ''Urotsukidoji'', but as you can note in his resume, he has been quite at home in the ultra-violent 80s {{OVA}} boom.

!!Tropes about his work
* DarkerAndEdgier: A staple of all his works, born in the time where anime and manga were the darkest.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: His MO, according to him.
-->"I think that script writing is kind of like writing a diary. Because you can only write what you felt on that day, you cannot suddenly write something that has nothing to do with present society or your present self or what you feel now. When I read my old works now I notice that, for example, in my younger years, "oh in this work I remember I was very upset about something," or "this work, this was around when I got married, so happy stuff is in it." Everything I feel will influence my work and that will also be the case for my future works."
