Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu is the mother of Asuka Langley Soryu, and was a brilliant scientist involved in Project E at Gehirn's German branch. However, she served as the test subject for a Contact Experiment with Eva-02, which trapped the part of her soul containing her maternal aspects inside of the Evangelion. Kyoko developed a severe psychological illness as a result and needed to be institutionalized.

Kyoko became unable to recognize Asuka as her daughter, while rag dolls (which she alternated between treating tenderly and violently) became surrogate "Asuka-chan"s. One doll was decapitated; Asuka acquired the head and carried it with her as she watched her mother through hospital glass. Kyoko throttled another, and, ultimately, used it to commit a "double suicide", hanging both herself and the doll-Asuka -- a spectacle the real Asuka had the misfortune of seeing.

While Kyoko was confined at the hospital, her husband began to carry out an affair with her doctor. Little discretion was taken, as they engaged in sexual acts in the room adjacent to Kyoko's. People attending Kyoko's funeral provide insinuations that Langley's infidelity was the ultimate driving force behind the suicide itself.

Although Kyoko physically died, the maternal component of her soul, at the very least (see note below), continued to survive within Eva-02. Asuka only learns that "[Mama] was always watching over" her and "protecting" her shortly before the two of them, ironically, do at last die together: Kyoko, as Eva-02, is ravaged and killed by the Mass Production Evangelions, taking Asuka with her.

Also, something about Arael and subsequently shutting away her soul.

Notes

  • In a flashback in Episode 25, we hear the insane Kyoko begging Asuka, "Please die with me!". In the Episode 25' scene where Asuka finds her mother within Eva-02, Kyoko repeats, "You mustn't die! You must live! You're alive!", several times. However, the familiar "Please die with me!" is mixed among her aspirational words. This implies that the remainder of Kyoko's soul was salvaged into Eva-02 following her physical death.
