| The Third Children, and dedicated pilot of Eva-01. He lost his mother in his infancy, and lived until the age of 14 under the care of an acquaintance of his father. He was summoned by his father -- NERV Commander Gendou Ikari -- at the same time as the 3rd Angel's attack, and ended up becoming an Evangelion pilot. He remained in Tokyo-3 thereafter, but due to the deep gap between him and his father from whom he had been separated for a long time, he came to live in the apartment of his superior, Misato Katsuragi. Introverted in character, he is concerned about how he is viewed by others. Further, he is awkward at expressing himself and communicating with others, so he repeatedly evades confrontation and disobeys orders. At the time of the JSSDF attack on NERV, he had fallen into a state of self-loss, which is also the reason why his counter-attack was delayed. Birthdate: June 6, 2001, Blood type: A, Age: 14
