Evangelion Character Designs

This article bears the unpleasant designation of "Stub." This is a Bad Thing. Provide a great service to NGE fan-geeks everywhere by making it awesomer!

Meant to be a full page listing the design features of each of the characters, ranging from their physical height to their clothing.

Shinji Ikari

Shinji's character design features him being unusually short for his age at only four feet and nine inches, given that both his parents were certainly tall by Japanese standards, with Yui being five and a half feet tall and Gendo being six feet tall.

He is usually seen in his school uniform

Asuka Langley Soryu

Asuka stands at four feet ten and a half inches, which, although the tallest of the children, is still rather short for a thirteen year old.

Asuka is seen in a formal dress when she goes out for a blind date in Episode 15.

Rei Ayanami

Rei, at four feet and seven inches, is the shortest of the Eva pilots. Although her height is probably due to her artificial growth, it still seems anomalous in comparison to her "mother", Yui Ikari, who stood at a solid five and a half feet in height.

Rei is seen in her school uniform, school swimwear, plugsuit and a hospital gown, giving her the least clothing choices among all the Evangelion characters.

Gendo Ikari

Gendo Ikari is first seen wearing a black turtleneck, a green jacket and blue trousers (or jeans). He is later seen with a red turtleneck and black trousers, which are paired off either with a lab coat (Gehirn era), a UN inspector's uniform (with Fuyutsuki in the Arctic post-2I) or later with his unzipped uniform jacket, a character design element taken from Commander Straker in the British TV series UFO. Chronicle illustrations reveal that Gendo is very thin and small-waisted, and wears suspenders under his uniform jacket while at Nerv.

Ritsuko Akagi

Although Ritusko is often seen in her lab coat with the zip-up shirt underneath it, she has a very broad wardrobe when seen in Episode 21.
