Aman has appeared in court charged with murdering soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London.
A handcuffed Michael Adebowale, 22, spoke only to confirm his name and address during the short hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
He was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on Monday. Mr Adebowale was charged after spending six days in hospital, having been shot by police after the attack on 22 May.
A second suspect remains under arrest. Michael Adebolajo, 28, who is being treated in hospital, was also shot by armed police at the time he was arrested.
On Wednesday, a post-mortem examination ruled that Drummer Rigby, 25, died of "multiple incised wounds" after the attack on a street in Woolwich, close to the barracks where he was based.
Tight security
Mr Adebowale, who has also been charged with possession of a firearm - a 9.4mm KNIL Model 91 revolver - appeared in court with a bandaged right hand and flanked by police officers. He limped as he approached his position in the glass dock, holding his right hand close to his body. Wearing a grey, long-sleeved top, he was told he did not need to stand up in the dock because of his injuries.
Bethan David, specialist prosecutor with the Crown Prosecution Service counter-terrorism division, told the court the charges fell under the jurisdiction of terrorism legislation.
Mr Adebowale, from Greenwich, had arrived at the court earlier in an escorted police van amid tight security.
