SHINJI IKARI
The central character to the evangelion series, Shinji Ikari is a rather quiet
and introverted individual. The son of the commanding Gendou Ikari (father), and the
brilliant, but trajicaly deceased, scientist Yui Ikari(mother). He is the third children
assigned to evangelion unit 01. Shinji immdediately comes
comes accross as not the sort of person one would think confident of himself.
Living with Misato, and a little later Asuka, Shinji takes on the role as what
Asuka describes as a "house broken male". He doesnt seem to make friends
very easily, mostly those he's met by fate such as Misato, Touji, Kenske, Asuka,
and Rei (who he seems to be very curious about). However he does make friends with
Touji and Kenske, forming the "three stoges" as Asuka and Hikari put it.

Being 14 years old, mostly keeping to himself and occationally outbursting, Shinji spends most of
his time on his own listening to music and thinking of various events in his life.
Despite his inexperience and dislike of piloting the eva-01, his synch ratio is
high, ( successfully activating unit 01 with only 0.000000001% of a chance also
known as a 09 system ) which makes him the main force against the angels. Being born on
June 6th, with type A blood, his life hasn't been very easy with the early loss of his mother,
abandonment of his father shortly after, and the abrupt "need" that is found for him after over
a decade of living in an apparent exile.
Throughout the series, the events take him from bad to worse, as he slowly
becomes aware of what the evangelion are really about. With Megumi Ogata as
his seiyuu, he first appears in episode 1 Angel Attack! His initial refusal to
pilot the evagelion was only changed when the bleeding and whimpering Rei
was wheeled in as as the only alternative. He is later forced against his will to
confront two of his friends, Touji in eva 03 as angel 13, and Koaru with eva 02
as angel 17. In the movies, he and eva 01 becomes the central figure in the
third impact, and the choice is given as he decides the fate of everyone.
