Commander of Special Agency
NERV. Formerly named
Gendou Rokubungi, he changed his name upon marrying
Yui Ikari, whom he had been seeing since her university years. He served as
Chief of Research at the
U.N. Artificial Evolution Laboratories, which was actually a front for promoting the
E Project. After Yui's death, he devoted himself to the "
Adam Project" and "
Instrumentality Project (
Human Complementation Project)". Backed by
SEELE, he achieved a number of goals including the construction of the
Evangelions. However, his
honeymoon with SEELE lasted only until the last
Angel had been defeated, after which their difference in objectives became apparent and developed into
military confrontation.
