Design for upcoming Mari figurine

Mari 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 shown for a mere two cuts in the preview for 2.0 at the end of the first Rebuild 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.[1]
  • 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.
