Uh...what? She's unnamed. -- 76.31.137.85 ( talk) 01:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Some more Googlingresearch indicates that it's a fanon name - for some reason or another, it's become the most common name given to her in fan fiction. Similarly,
Mrs. Tendo appears to have somehow acquired the name "Kimiko." Don't ask me how. As for "Mari," it's been used in
Shinji and Warhammer40k,
Neon Genesis Evanjellydonut, and
Higher Learning, just to name a few, but I can find no official source. --

The word seiyu has different spellings in this article; seiyuu and seiyu. Can someone with better knowledge of its correct usage confirm this inconsistency is necessary or appropriate? Also, I feel we should link the first use of the word to its own article since I don't believe it's even an English word and as such direct reference to its meaning is important. Ninestories ( talk) 03:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Sadamoto designed her to look British, and added glasses as a 'simple yet effective way to set her apart from the other characters'
It points out only clothes. Her character makes middle-aged father in Japan a base. 221.184.34.189 ( talk) 02:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
The source is a pamphlet distributed in the movie theater. The origin of her character surely has the explanation , saying that "Father at the Showa era(昭和の親父)". 221.184.34.189 ( talk) 02:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
When the source is seen, her name is falsified by mary and the name of the Britain style. It is dangerous to make the amateur's translation a source. 218.230.180.77 ( talk) 18:16, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Gwern returned the article without objecting to the name of the imitation of the Britain style. What you believed was an imitation. An informal source where such a false information is explained is not admitted. 60.40.8.165 ( talk) 16:25, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
I've asked the rest of the taskforce for advice here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Evangelion#NGE: Sadamoto's out of universe quotes are being challenged by anon. Japanese IP -- Gwern (contribs) 17:35 25 January 2010 (GMT)
Gwern stopped waiting for advice and took arbitrary actions. Your behavior is thoughtless. 61.119.136.56 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC).
Is an image of the school uniform really so necessary? In fact, it looks fan-made and we already have a picture of the characters who already wear the uniform. Bread Ninja ( talk) 18:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
above? The number of users against something does not matter in wikipedia as it is not a democracy. Tintor2 ( talk) 00:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
1)the image is a poor representation of the school uniform and we have not seen any winter or summer uniform yet, so thats OR. ALso assuming that this is official merchandise from gainax is OR as well unless you can prove it.
2)You have not supported why it should stay other than for the sake of it staying there. Sorry, but i'm going to say your faliing under WP:ILIKEIT. Bread Ninja ( talk) 21:52, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
ALso you cannot accuse someone for WP:IDONTLIKEIT if you have been accused of WP:ILIKEIT and haven't defended why it should be kept. The accusation si not pure OR, it's specualtion. You haven't defended the image, and i'm not the on ly one here, so don't focus the argument solely on me. there is also tintor2 and dreamfocus. Bread Ninja ( talk) 23:40, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
I think we should change this to Main Character, Supporting Character, and other. There isn't much reason to keep it in this format. Bread Ninja ( talk) 02:07, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Is there any reason why katakana is used for the personal names of ALL the characters? The reason I ask is because many, if not all, (i.e. Rei, Yui, etc.) have real Japanese names as personal names, so wouldn't it have the associated kanji instead? Bwing55543 ( talk) 04:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
The Angels really don't need 50kb to describe them. One introductory paragraph and a brief, bulleted list limited to a few sentences per Angel on the character list would be plenty. TTN ( talk) 19:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
There is no place here for spare characters from Rebuild of Evangelion on this page. We need another page for them.
If i did't need ouno changes of one username, who just now learn to speak with others, i could change they to ZimaPasocom ( talk) 08:27, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Don't you dare trying to hide talk-page, coward ZimaPasocom ( talk) 07:47, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
Do what ever you want, i don't care anymore. Marlin Setia1 ( talk) 10:31, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

The Russian Evangelion articles appear to feature more outofuniverse information about the characters, sketches and more citations (see Rei's here). Since translation between Russian and English is easy to make (just Google Translate seems useful), I would recommend adding the extra information. After all, this is allowed by the Wikipedias. Tintor2 ( talk) 16:21, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
I've noticed the Reception section here is horribly outdated and only really mentions a 1996 Animage poll. This is fine by itself, but misses representing the changing views and popularity of the characters over time. I'll try and include a lot more sources there, and would appreciate any indications - I know I can scrape the character articles for at least a decent amount, and I also have access to the new Newtype ones post-3.0+1.0. I do have to wonder if it'll look good without that table, but maybe the Animage poll is undue weight at this point. Again, I appreciate any suggestions.

Have we all forgotten what site we're on? This is an English article on the English Wikipedia. Cited sources need to (a) meet Wikipedia's reliability standards, (b) be written in English, and (c) be something that we can actually confirm the existence of. This means that you need to name a book, magazine issue, etc. that a person can buy or a website that a person can browse. If I type "ISBN 4-8074-9718-9" into a search engine and I only get three results, two of which are Wikipedia pages about Evangelion and the third of which is written in Spanish, then ISBN 4-8074-9718-9 is not a valid source.
Also, for the record, English dub actors are not reliable sources of information. Anyone who has listened to the "Commentaries of Evil" knows just how wrong they can be. 73.70.13.107 ( talk) 10:29, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
