Doesn't matter, because the character for '4' is in their name. Japanese and Chinese people will automatically associate that with 'death'. The company 'Four Leaves technology' doesn't have the character or number for '4' in its name - it's in English, and it's pronounced 'four', so there's far less of a stigma attached.

And maybe their father and aunt (who I assume are the ones who have hired and retained Aoki) are happy with his work and his attitude?

Nope. But that's not the point that the show/story is raising, is it?
