Mari Makinami Illustrious

"The Eva series? It's been completed?" This article is either about a production that hasn't been released yet or some aspect of an unreleased production. Information will be added as it becomes available. Please debate the legitimacy of this information in the discussion.

Mari (＊＊＊・マリ・＊＊＊＊＊＊＊) is the new character to be introduced in Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance, a brunette with glasses and long pigtails who seems to be in the same age group as the Eva pilots. She was disclosed for a mere two cuts in the preview for 2.0 at the end of the first movie.

Her full name has not yet been disclosed: in the official movie poster, it is furnished as "*** Mari *******". The three-part name is reminiscent of Asuka's and may indicate a similar mixed heritage (i.e., both Eastern and Western surnames).

Mari is speculated to be the pilot for Eva-05, although no official statements have yet been made on the matter. Circumstantial evidence is provided by 2.0's first theatrical trailer, which shows a girl in a plugsuit, her head completely covered by a visor that reads "EVANGELION-05".

Notes

• Her first name was revealed in the Nintendo DS Petite Eva@School game.
• Before her actual name surfaced, Mari was known exclusively among fans as "Glasses Girl" (めがねのこ in Japanese).
• Mari's glasses and long, dark hair has invited much comparison with the character Mayumi Yamagishi from the Sega Saturn game Neon Genesis Evangelion: Second Impression, although the two characters have distinctly different appearances.
