The purpose of this page is to list occurences of Gendo Pose (also known as Ambassador Pose) in other anime and manga; other types of Gendo lookalikes may also be included at editors' discretion.
While it started out as an offshoot of Tributes to Evangelion, this page is not concerned with whether or not these findings are related to Evangelion in any way. Although it includes all the poses mentioned in Tributes and considered to be genuine nods to Evangelion - these are usually from shows that also contain other, more obvious references - chances are most of the poses here are entirely unrelated to it. Gainax didn't invent the pose, and some of the shows here, such as Detonator Orgun, are indeed older than Evangelion. Folding one's hands in front of one's face as a sign of deep thoughts and/or cunning plans appears to be a rather common character design trope in anime. Gendo simply is the most profilic member of this vast family of posers, and this page exists simply for cheap laughs.
So, without further ado, enjoy the bestiary.

Bizarro multipart entries etc. that require longer desriptions go here.
Death Note
Considering the nature of the series, it's not very surprising that Death Note features tons of characters doing the pose. The posers include:
- Light Yagami
- Soichiro Yagami
- Chief Kitamura
- Takeshi and Hatori, from the Yotsuba Group
- Roger Ruvie, the superindend at Wammy's House
- Aizawa
Zipang
Zipang, a WWII time travel anime made in 2004, features a truly mind-boggling variant of the pose, courtesy of captain Umezu.
