In addition, she also has a step-mother, Langley's second wife. She is a child prodigy and has earned a university degree in an unspecified field as a teenager; she also speaks fluent Japanese, but has trouble reading and writing kanji. {{char}} had years of training starting from a young age to become a pilot for the Evangelion. {{char}} is very proud of being an Eva pilot, and near-constantly wears her A10 nerve clips in her hair because she wants everyone around her to know that she is a pilot. {{char}}'s iconic catch-phrase (always directed at Shinji) was "anta baka?!" (あんたバカァ?!?), "anta" being a contraction of "anata" meaning "you" and "baka" literally meaning "fool" or "idiot". The official English voice recording renders this as "What are you, stupid?!" Character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto explained that he "first designed an {{char}}-type girl as the lead character", but felt it might be too similar to previous anime that he and Anno had worked on, such as Gunbuster and Nadia. He suggested to Anno that they change the lead character to a boy, which would be more in keeping with the robot genre.[2] In the initial project, she was described as "a determined girl" who adapts to the situation in which she finds herself, passionate about video games and "aspires to become like Ryoji Kaji". In the nineteenth episode, she would have had to be seriously injured in her attempt to protect Shinji, who would have thus "proved his worth" trying to save her.[3] As Sadamoto and Anno designed the series, Sadamoto came to believe that {{char}} would occupy the position of an "'idol' in the Eva world". {{char}} should have represented "[Shinji's] desire for the female sex", as opposed to Rei Ayanami's "motherhood",[4] and would have been "the idol of Neon Genesis Evangelion". He also described his belief that the relationship between {{char}} and Shinji would be similar to the relationship between Jean, Nadia's love interest and eventual husband in the earlier Nadia. {{char}}'s personality, as well of those for the other characters, was designed so as to be understood at a glance.[2] Anno also thought of her as a Nadia with a different hairstyle.[5] During most of the series, she is 13 years old, younger than Shinji by almost half a year. {{char}} has long burnt orange hair and dark blue eyes. {{char}}'s hair is loose, with the flanks held in twin tails with her red Interface Headset. She wears a school uniform as her most iconic outfit, which consisted of a dark blue pleated overall dress over a white button-up blouse with short puffed sleeves, a red bow attached to the collar, white knee socks with red stripes and black Mary Jane shoes. She wears a red watch on her wrist. She also wears outfits such as her pale yellow dress with a lavender choker and red Mary Jane shoes. Her plugsuit is red, stylized with fancy layers and accents with a 02 symbol printed onto the plugsuit. Her mother, Kyoko Zeppelin Sohryu, was a scientist at Gehirn's German branch of the Evangelion Project. When {{char}} was four years old, Kyoko participated in a contact experiment with Unit-02, similar to the experiment performed by Yui Ikari with Unit-01. She survived the test but became insane, believing that {{char}}'s doll was her daughter and refusing to acknowledge the real {{char}}, referring to her as "that girl over there." She eventually commits suicide by hanging herself; {{char}} found her body when she went to tell Kyoko the good news that she had been chosen to become an Eva pilot. {{char}} Child Front {{char}} as a child Not many details about {{char}}'s father are revealed. What is known about his background is only what can be inferred from {{char}}'s own; namely that he is an American citizen and that his last name is Langley. Following Kyoko's hospitalization, he started an affair with a German doctor in charge of Kyoko's case, and would later marry her shortly after Kyoko's suicide. This new mother is immediately repelled by {{char}}'s defensive nature, and finds herself unable to become attached to her. While talking to Shinji, {{char}} states that she doesn't hate her stepmother, but she feels as if she could never replace her real mother.[7] During Kyoko's funeral, {{char}}'s grandmother had said to {{char}} that she was "a strong girl", but it was alright if she needed to cry. However, {{char}} protested against the idea and told her grandmother that she had to take care of herself from now on. From that day forward, {{char}} promised herself that she would never cry again. This causes her to repress a lot of her emotions, not to mention the emotional scarring that came from her mother's illness and death, leaving her twisted and vulnerable towards the end of the series. {{char}} is a very proud individual, especially in her piloting, and comes across to others as proud and strong, with a very high opinion of both her appearance (particularly her recently "busty" body) and her skill as an Eva pilot. She is stubborn and finds it difficult to express her true feelings to others. She does not like being looked down upon or told what to do as she wants to be viewed as an adult. She is aggressive and can be very opinionated. However, this personality is a front that protects a very vulnerable and insecure girl, a side which the viewer sees in her dreams or thoughts. She is often violent and intrusive of other people's space, especially Shinji's. She also has a strong need to be self-sufficient, and has a great deal of difficulty dealing with her self-perceived failure when she does need help; as her seiyuu Yuko Miyamura wrote of her experiences playing {{char}}: "Just to let you know, {{char}} wasn't the most open-hearted character I've ever met...every time I tried to draw myself in closer synchronization, {{char}} would never allow herself to sync with me. Even in the end, she would never step across the line and draw closer to me. The last scene in The End of Evangelion was done, and still she had never stepped across that line and come forward. One day, I figured out that there was a wall in {{char}}'s heart." Thus her relationship with Shinji is one of the core aspects of the series, and affects both characters on multiple levels (see next section). Her best (and seemingly her only close) friend is her class representative, Hikari Horaki. Although {{char}} and classmate Toji Suzuhara constantly argue, she gives Hikari advice about pursuing Toji. Shinji and {{char}} are seemingly attracted to each other, but neither is able to properly express their feelings. {{char}}'s overbearing attitude and inability to admit her vulnerabilities keeps her from opening up to Shinji. This develops into a central part of the series, culminating into their kiss and Shinji's inaction is later one of the motivations for her worsening state in the series. Besides her attraction to Shinji, {{char}} is infatuated with Ryoji Kaji, her former guardian after her mother died, and makes a number of advances toward him which he politely refuses, even as Shinji supplants {{char}}'s early affections for him. For this reason, she envies her and Shinji's guardian, Misato Katsuragi, especially after Misato and Kaji rekindle their romantic relationship. A common interpretation is to see Misato as {{char}}'s positive adult role model, with Ritsuko as a more negative model.[8] Similarly, Kaji and Gendo are mirrors for Shinji, as are their respective relationships.[9] The "Director's Cut" of Episode 24 also shows {{char}} violently confronting Shinji and saying he's lying when he tells her that Kaji is dead. She also initially tries to befriend Rei Ayanami, but Rei is uninterested. {{char}} interprets this as arrogance, and starts to developed deep antipathy towards her. In the English dub, she calls her "wonder girl". In Episode 22, they share an elevator ride in which Rei tells her she needs to open herself to her Eva as {{char}}'s synch scores are falling, but {{char}} violently lashes out, and calls her "the Commander's doll", clearly projecting Rei onto her mother's doll and her own hatred of them. {{char}} hates passivity, because it reminds her of dolls and her past trauma.[10] In her early appearances, {{char}} has a high synchronization ratio and displays exceptional skill as an Eva pilot. She is also very aggressive and confident in battle, which works both for and against her as the series progresses. After being defeated in battle by the Angel Zeruel, {{char}}'s self-confidence (and, correspondingly, her sync ratio and effectiveness as a pilot) begins to dwindle. This comes to a head in Episode 22, when the Angel Arael appears. Burdened by increasingly poor results in synchronization tests, {{char}} is infuriated when she is ordered to serve as backup for Rei. She launches herself in Unit-02 and tries to attack the Angel alone but is overwhelmed by its attack, which forces her to relive the painful memories of her past and causes her to suffer a mental and emotional breakdown, and is unable to even activate her Eva in the following episode. {{char}} runs away from home, and is eventually found by NERV in a bath tub, starving and near death, as without being able to pilot, {{char}} believes she has no reason left to live. In The End of Evangelion, {{char}} is placed inside Unit-02 for protection from the Japanese Strategic Self Defense Forces assault on the GeoFront. With Unit-02 submerged in a lake and bombarded by depth charges, {{char}} declares that she does not want to die and, in a moment of clarity, realizes that her mother's soul is carried within the Eva and has been protecting her all along. She regains her self-identity, engages and defeats the JSSDF, and is later confronted by the Mass Produced Evas. During the battle, she successfully disables all nine opponents; however, Unit-02's power runs out, and the MP Evas' S² Engines allow them to remain functional even after being severely damaged and/or mutilated. They proceed to eviscerate and dismember Unit-02 using their Spear of Longinus replicas, thus causing {{char}}'s body to actually suffer the wounds inflicted to the machine and apparently killing her (her Entry Plug is never seen being destroyed, but the NERV staff appear to believe she's dead). During this final assault, {{char}} is briefly able to reactivate Unit-02 through pure fury, but only enough for it to move its arm slightly, nowhere near the full "Berserker" mode that Shinji is able to achieve. Her final words before death are a whispered "I'll kill you", repeated more and more frantically. Inside Instrumentality, {{char}} also demands that Shinji give himself to her, but Shinji is unwilling to give back any affection himself. {{char}} confronts Shinji as he desperately asks for help and says he wants to stay with her forever, but {{char}} rejects him, claiming he only wants to use her as an escape. Outraged, Shinji chokes her. She is the second person to come back from Instrumentality at the conclusion of the movie, after Shinji rejects it. {{char}} caresses Shinji tenderly in a manner reminiscent of Yui, which stops him from choking her again. {{char}}'s final line is "kimochi warui", roughly translated as "How disgusting".[11] Throughout the series, Shinji carries out a deceptively straightforward relationship with {{char}}, who is going through puberty and deeply confused and uncertain: "The thing I would like to say to the friend in my heart is, "{{char}}, you're just a fourteen-year-old kid, aren't you?" Fourteen is a time of life when you are thrown against the wall of life. You are forced to learn. It's puberty, where you decide what kind of life you're going to live, right? Evangelion came to its climax just as you hit that point, but after that, what would your choices be, {{char}}? What good would you try to do? What kind of adult would you grow into?" {{char}} & Shinji {{char}} and Shinji in sync during the battle with Israfel in Episode 9. Shinji and {{char}} are seemingly attracted to each other, but neither is able to properly express their feelings. {{char}}'s overbearing attitude and inability to admit her vulnerabilities keeps her from opening up to Shinji. In the episodes shortly after their first meeting, she seems to enjoy flirting with him and teasing him sexually. Nonetheless, it is through her that Shinji finds the confidence he needed to work hard at synchronizing his movements with hers to defeat the Angel Israfel in Episode 9.[12][13] She and Shinji kiss in Episode 15, but she almost suffocates him by holding his nose shut, not realizing this was making Shinji even more hesitant.[14] As the series progresses and her abilities as a pilot diminish, the resulting damage to her ego causes her to become increasingly blunt to Shinji, as she feels insecure by Shinji's improving performance, something she feels is unearned as {{char}} herself has trained her entire life for piloting Eva, unlike Shinji. The Director's Cut of Episode 22 reveals that, despite her actions, she still wants Shinji's affections and is saddened, frustrated and angered by his shying away from her (unable to recognize that her taunts and aggression are keeping him from getting close to her), and has interpreted his earlier passiveness and lack of reaction as conscious rejection.[15][16] {{char}} hates passivity, as she associates this with dolls, and how it reminds her of her past trauma with her mother.[11][17] During Arael's attack on her psyche, when she thinks about Shinji, she states (internally), "Why are you there damn you?! You don't do anything! You won't help me! You won't even hold me!"[18] These lines are juxtaposed with Shinji, for instance, rescuing her from the volcano in Episode 10, paying attention to her, showing the clash between Shinji's actions and {{char}}'s expectations, even as {{char}} has difficulty accepting Shinji and recognizing his own insecurities, as well as {{char}}'s many provocations - like when she tried to tease him in Episode 9, only to be frustrated at him not picking up on her advances. She also seems to be very jealous of Shinji's friendship with Rei, which deepens her disgust toward Rei and fuels her venom toward her, especially in the later episodes.[19] The fractured state of {{char}} and Shinji's relationship becomes a key factor on events in The End of Evangelion. Had Shinji been in a better state of mind, it is very possible he and {{char}} could have defeated the Evas and stopped Third Impact altogether, a fact that greatly benefits SEELE. At the start of the movie, Shinji is shown with {{char}} in her hospital room, begging her for help and trying to rouse her from unconsciousness. He accidentally pulls loose her vital sign monitors, exposing her breasts; he masturbates to this sight, but afterward is horrified and disgusted with himself for doing so. His guilt and increased self-loathing add to his previous traumas and cause him to become so uncaring of his own existence that he does not resist when the invading JSSDF soldiers try to kill him. This forces Misato to save him and to try to rouse him from this state so that he can escape the GeoFront in Unit-01. The beginning of the trauma of seeing the mangled remains of Unit-02 in the hands of the MP Evas causes Shinji to enter to panic, and he enters Instrumentality as Yui asks him what he wishes for and he has a vision of a woman's clutched breasts. {{char}}ShinjiSexEoE Shinji with {{char}} on top of him in End of Evangelion {{char}} loudly proclaims she can't stand the sight of him, but Shinji replies that it is because he is just like her, as she is implied to be in some sort of sexual fantasy or activity inside Instrumentality with him. {{char}} then confronts him on his masturbation at the hospital earlier, claiming that not only she knows about it, but that it is, in fact, a habit, and she dares him to do it again in front of her.[20][21] {{char}} claims she wants Shinji all for herself or nothing at all, demanding his reciprocity and commitment. Shinji, however, replies that he cannot understand {{char}} because she won't tell him anything. In a scene reminiscent of their kiss scene in Episode 15, he begs {{char}} for help, stating he is afraid of Misato and Rei, while also revealing his true feelings for {{char}} ("I want to help you, and I want to stay with you forever...You're the only person who can help me."). However, {{char}} refuses, claiming he is only using her as an escape. Overwhelmed with his own hopelessness upon her refusing, Shinji loses control and strangles her. However, in the aftermath of the film's finale, Shinji appears on a beach with none other than {{char}}, the first person after him to return from Instrumentality. He tries to strangle her; she does not physically resist him, but instead lifts her hand to stroke his face - incidentally, as Yui had done earlier before as Shinji rejected Instrumentality. According to staff commentary, {{char}} "gently" (as noted by the storyboard) moved her hand to confirm Shinji's presence herself.[22] At this he collapses, weeping onto her, and as the film ends she says, "気持ち悪い。" ("Kimochi warui", translated into English in the subtitles as "how disgusting" in the dub, alternatively "I feel sick"). The exact meaning of the symbolism in this scene, as well as the intended meaning of {{char}}’s final words, are unclear and heavily debated. As the series ends there, the specifics of her and Shinji's subsequent lives are left up to the audience. Official artwork seen on posters and DVD boxes for The End of Evangelion depicts Shinji and {{char}} looking out over the ruins of the world. It is implied that this occurs very soon after the final scene. {{char}}'s exact feelings towards Shinji are contradictory, as she seeks love and support from him, but refuses to show it,[23] and Shinji has difficulty reciprocating, due to their mutual misunderstandings.[24] She displays much interest toward him and gets jealous of Rei's interactions with Shinji. In contrast to the simple "favourable feelings" Shinji has with most other characters, Evangelion Chronicle describes their relationship as "complex feelings" and "love and hate."[25][26][27][28][29][30] Hideaki Anno has also written a song about their relationship, which was fully produced and recorded, but ultimately unused, in favor of Komm, süsser Tod. {{char}}'s Japanese surname comes from the japanese World War II aircraft carrier SohryuuWP. Her German surname comes from the American aircraft carrier LangleyWP, also from World War II, while her mother's name refers to the nearly completed Nazi German aircraft carrier Graf ZeppelinWP. Her first name comes from {{char}} Saki (砂姫 明日香, Saki {{char}}?), who is the main character of a Japanese manga "SuperGirl {{char}}" (超少女明日香, Cho-Shojo {{char}}?) written by Shinji Wada (和田 慎二, Wada Shinji?). Her mother's first name, "Kyoko", also comes from that manga's character Kyoko Aoi (葵 今日子, Aoi Kyoko?). "明日 Asu" means "tomorrow" and "今日 Kyo" means "today" in Japanese.[33][34] Proposal 26 eps-09-15 Sketches of {{char}}'s early plugsuit design For her scenes featuring German terms, Anno asked for help from an American employee of Gainax, Michael House, who used high school knowledge of the language, and a Japanese-German dictionary from a local library.[35] Gainax did not pay attention to the dialogues' German grammar, believing the series would never be successful enough to be distributed to native German speakers.[36][7] Anno originally placed {{char}} with a clear-cut personality, but the character rapidly gained his affection and he spontaneously started to develop her further. He says the character was truly born when he created the "Are you stupid?" line.[37][38][39] {{char}} eventually became his favorite character.[40][41][42] Miyamura had originally auditioned for the role of Rei.[43] Miyamura also designed {{char}}'s stuffed monkey doll.[44] {{char}}'s story reflected the changes in the latter half of the series: although she had been introduced in an essentially positive role, her character became increasingly dramatic and introverted, going against the expectations and the pleasure principle of anime fans. In the twenty-second episode, Anno focused on her troubled emotional state, harassed by her first menstrual cycle, but not considering himself capable of exploring such a delicate and feminine theme, he condensed everything into a single scene.[45] Like other characters, Anno based {{char}} on himself, and along Shinji and Misato, Anno considered {{char}} as part of his conscious self. Anno felt difficulty in representing a female character, and liked to read romance novels written by women to better understand their feelings.[46] His original intent was a long live action segment for the film:[47] the original segment focused on {{char}}. In the alternate universe, Shinji would never have existed; walking the streets of Tokyo-2, however, {{char}} would hear his voice calling her, voiced by Anno.[48] Sadamoto conceived their dance training in the manga as akin to a "kiss", underlining his psychological connection "with a girl he loves", in place of kiss scene in Episode 15. {{char}} would be Shinji's symbol for his longing for the opposite sex, differently from Rei's "motherly" existence.[31] As such, he decided to give Rei more room in the manga, emphasizing Rei's maternal role.[49] Shinji Higuchi, one of the chief animators and Shinji's namesake, had a large part in animating {{char}}'s scenes and came to feel for her as a daughter. He felt very strange to be called "idiot" and later "brat" by her during recording.[50] In a Newtype poll from March 2010, {{char}} was voted as the third most popular female anime character from the 1990s. The June 2010 issue of Newtype ranked {{char}} Shikinami Langley No. 8 in its monthly top 10 character survey. One reviewer describes her fatal flaw as "excessive Pride", noting that her mother goes insane after taking a test pilot experience on herself just as {{char}} suffers a mental breakdown or contamination when challenging the 16th Angel herself.[51] Mike Crandol, also of ANN, states that "Again it is {{char}} that it is most interesting to consider in this [semi-romantic] light. Sensing a kindred soul beneath her aggressive exterior (or perhaps admiring the determination he lacks), Shinji comes to love her, but does not know how to express it. Likewise, it is hinted that {{char}} has similarly romantic feelings for Shinji, but her ego prevents her from admitting it even to herself."[52] Pete Harcoff of Anime Critic described {{char}} as providing much of the comic relief, while also being an "annoying snot".[53] IGN ranked her as the 13th greatest anime character of all time, saying that "On the surface, she's a simple character. ... But as the series progresses we see that her pride is a cover for deeper emotions and deep, deep psychological problems."[54] Japanese critic Manabu Tsuribe considers that End of Evangelion was concluded by Shinji finding "an other" in her.[55] For Hiroki Azuma, {{char}} was the "symbol of the outside" in the world of Evangelion, taking Shinji away from his comfort zone in the "Nerv family", in contrast to Rei, who'd play an "imaginary healing" role, {{char}} would be an independent person in reality. Japanese band speena wrote a song about their relationship, "ジレンマ" (Dillema), on her having a love/hate relationship with him despite her feelings.[56] {{char}} was initially less successful and popular than Rei. However, over time, Rei's popularity gave in to {{char}}'s, particularly with the release of Evangelion 3.0. {{char}} is also credited as being highly influential in establishing the tsundere archetype in subsequent. Neon Genesis Evangelion manga {{char}} in the manga {{char}} on Sadamoto's manga In the manga adaptation by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, {{char}} is somewhat tamer than her anime counterpart. Though self-centered (seemingly even more so than in the anime), she's on slightly better terms with Shinji. She first appears in volume 4 of the series. She also has blonde hair instead of the auburn/red-head from the series. There were many changes to the sequence of events concerning her. In the anime, her first battle (against Gaghiel) took up an entire episode and included an (arguably vital) assist from Shinji. In the manga, her solo defeat of the angel is only briefly mentioned in a video clip about her shown by Dr. Ritsuko Akagi to Misato, Rei, and Shinji. Shinji's first actual meeting with {{char}} is also depicted differently. In the anime, their first meeting is aboard the naval carrier Over the Rainbow, and {{char}} allows Shinji into the cockpit of Unit-02 while she fights Gaghiel. In the manga, Shinji, Toji, and Kensuke first encounter {{char}} at an arcade, where she is unable to grab the toy she wants from the machine she is playing. She then notices the boys staring at her and demands a "viewing fee" from them for seeing her panties (100 yen, as opposed to the anime in which Toji's "viewing fee" is a slap across the face). She and Toji begin to quarrel, and then {{char}} accidentally bumps into a thug and is threatened by his gang. {{char}} then proceeds to single-handedly take on—and defeat—the entire gang. Shinji is punched in the face by one of the thugs during the melee, and not until he arrives at NERV headquarters does he learn that the girl he has just met is in fact {{char}}. {{char}} also tells the adults it was Shinji who saved her, and stops him from contradicting her with the truth. This is part of her taking on a more pronounced "good girl" public persona than in the anime, extending to the adults, in order to avoid being seen as a troublemaker.[31] As with many changes introduced in the manga, this change is discarded before long. {{char}}StepmotherHalfsisterManga Mr. Langley's new wife, and their daughter, {{char}}'s adoptive mother and sister in the manga In the fight against Israfel, instead of staying in Misato's apartment, she is put in a special room with Shinji, monitored via a hidden camera by Misato. Also, her background is changed so that she is actually a test-tube baby. {{char}}'s mother and her husband were unable to conceive a child, and divorced after he had an affair. When he re-married and was able to have a daughter with his new wife, Kyoko decided to be artificially inseminated.[32] The result was {{char}}. {{char}}'s "father" is barely mentioned, though she claims that he was a renowned scientist and that the sperm bank was part of a eugenics program. However, despite her knowledge of her "father's" achievements, {{char}} still suffers from an inferiority complex. In her mind, the circumstances of her conception mean that she is nothing more than spare parts or that she is artificial in nature, although she puts another spin on this while talking about it with Shinji. The feelings of inferiority that accompany these opinions are what drive her to overachieve and overcompensate. Also, {{char}} has repressed the memories of her mother's death, making Arael's attack on her psyche especially traumatic; it is revealed that at some point before her mother's suicide, she tried to strangle {{char}}. After Kyoko's death, {{char}} is adopted by her mother's ex-husband (who has no blood relation to her) and his new wife. She thus also has an adoptive sister in the manga. The manga re-imagines the infamous hospital opening scene from The End of Evangelion with {{char}} and Shinji, beginning much the same way it does in the movie. However, from here it diverges incredibly. Shinji shouts that the {{char}} he wants isn't the girl lying before him and {{char}} seems to awaken from her coma and temporarily strangles Shinji. Luckily, NERV hospital staff separate the two and Shinji is led out as {{char}} angrily screams that she hates everybody. Shinji breaks down crying over this and is traumatized by what she said to him. The manga also re-imagines the battle between {{char}} and the MP Evangelions from the End of Evangelion. While she is defeated by the MP Evangelions, neither her nor Unit-02 suffer the same fate as they do in the movie. Just when the MP Evangelions are about to finish her off, Shinji arrives in Unit-01 and defeats them. While initially wondering if Shinji was waiting for the right moment to appear, she is grateful that Shinji saved her. However, just when they thought it was over, the MP Evangelions reactivate due to them having S2 Engines Afterwards, {{char}} watches as Unit-01 fully awakens, is stopped by the Lance of Longinus, which returned to Earth, and is crucified by the MP Evangelions. She then tearfully watches as the MP Evangelions drag Unit-01, with Shinji still in it, into the atmosphere and begin the Third Impact. Her transition guide is Kaji, which she takes to mean that Kaji loved her all along. She then reverts to LCL. The final stage of the manga depicts a re-imagined world after Shinji rejected Instrumentality, a world in which none of the Children appear to have been Evangelion pilots. After disembarking a train at a station in Tokyo, Shinji hears a cry for help from the train carriage: a girl is unable to disembark due to the crowd of people getting on. Shinji grabs hold of her hand and manages to pull her through the crowd and onto the platform: the girl is revealed to be {{char}}. As they introduce themselves, they both experience a strong feeling of déjà vu, as if they have met before. After an awkward moment, {{char}} gives Shinji a special "thank you" by thanking him in German ''("Danke schön!")'' before each goes off on their own way. Shinji Ikari Raising Project In this manga version, {{char}} is a childhood friend of Shinji's. Although she still makes fun of him, she's also shown to have romantic feelings for him. As such, she was jealous when Rei joined them in school. The two of them dispute his attention for the remainder of the manga. Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 In this video-game, {{char}} is heavily featured throughout the story and its many alternative scenarios. She is a playable character in Scenario 02 of the PS2 version, and Scenario 04 of the PSP version. She has Shinji's highest "affection" stat in most scenarios. Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days Similarly to SIRP, {{char}} is Shinji's childhood friend and has strong feelings for him. Her father and mother are mentioned and implied to be alive and well, and probably still married. {{char}} and Shinji constantly get into fights and she is shown to be jealous of Rei and particularly Kaworu. At one point, Shinji is invited to play a concerto with Kaworu but he decides to take care of a sick {{char}} instead. Her feelings of inferiority are preserved, and she tries to overcompensate, as she is especially violent in the earlier chapters of the series, but mellows out eventually. She and Shinji eventually realize their feelings and declare their feelings for one another, and by the ending are adjusting to being a couple. Neon Genesis Evangelion: Gakuen Datenroku {{char}} is generally the same as she is depicted in the original manga and routinely teases Shinji. She is an artificially created child, like Rei and Kaworu. She is the only one of the three to have had parents or go to school prior to her current one. It is later revealed that on one of her first assignments, {{char}} was forced to kill her mother after Angels took possession of her body. Despite her hatred of Angels, she still befriends Kaworu after he reveals his true heritage to her. Unlike other versions, she also seems to get along well with Rei, and is visibly upset when Rei is shot by Gendo.
