Overview
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. In NERV, Gendo is responsible for the research done on the Evas and the Human Instrumentality Project. He is the father of the Third Child, Shinji Ikari. At the start of the series, he is the only person having an effective connection to Rei Ayanami. In the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, the Human Instrumentality Project , mankind complementation/completion plan) is the goal of the secret society SEELE. It is sometimes translated as the Human Enhancement Project or the Human Complementation Project. ...

Gendo is a brilliant scientist and politician (the master of puppets in the series), but an extremely cold and distant father towards his son. His last lines in The End of Evangelion reveal his regret and the true motivations for his ruthless behavior. He intended to use Third Impact to bring Yui back to life. However, he realizes that his efforts are in vain and that he ignored the real wishes of Yui. She intended to bring about a brighter future for their children, which Gendo has sacrificed in order to bring her back. In essence, Yui's dreams and principles were violated to resurrect her. Shortly after, Eva Unit 01 is shown grasping Gendo in her hand before decapitating him, clearly rejecting Gendo's actions (however this death sequence is questionable, due to its surreal appearance).

It is worth noting that there are some distinctive similarities in looks between Gendo and the series' director Hideaki Anno. Hideaki Anno (庵野秀明 Anno Hideaki, born 22 May 1960 in Ube, Japan) is a Japanese animation and video director. ...
Background Gendo Ikari was born as Gendo Rokubungi (六分儀, meaning sextant). During study, he met Yui Ikari, with whom he started a relationship. Some people thought that the only reason for this was the organization SEELE, to which she was aligned. However, looking at his plans for the Third Impact, it seems that he truly loved Yui (and still did, though his affairs with Naoko Akagi, and his implied relationship with her daughter, Ritsuko, raise questions about this, its also implied that Gendo didn't really care about Naoko or Ritsuko but was just using them). Thanks to Yui's connection to SEELE, he also came in contact with the organization and started to help them with their plans for the Second Impact. He later married Yui at the beginning of the 21st century (wherein he changed his surname to Ikari), and in 2001 their son Shinji was born. They both also worked together at GEHIRN, from which Gendo became the leader. After the failed activation test of EVA-01 and Yui's "death" during this event, Gendo became very cold (even towards Shinji -- who he sent to live with a teacher), and now he only tries to bring forth his own version of the Third Impact. A sextant is a measuring instrument generally used to measure the angle of elevation of a celestial object above the horizon. ...

The gloves that Gendo wears, along with his cold stare behind the orange-tinted glasses, can be considered his trademark. Initially, the reason for him to wear the gloves appears to be to hide the burn scars he received trying to save Rei during a failed activation attempt of Unit 00. Rei's entry plug was ejected, and Gendo pried the plug's door, which was overheated, open with his bare hands. However, the more likely reason he wore gloves was to mask the obvious physical evidence that he had fused Adam into his right hand. // In the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, Angels are the beings which attack Tokyo-3 over the course of the story. ...
Plans Although Gendo pretends to follow SEELE's orders without question, he has his own agenda and tries to outmanipulate the committee. His final outspoken rebellion towards SEELE comes from his desire to initiate Third Impact under his complete control. He implants Adam's embryo in his hand (only shown on Evangelion Death and Rebirth, and the Director's Cut Edition) and tries to merge with Rei to achieve this purpose. Other fans speculate that he tried this merging as an attempt to revive his dead wife. This is a glossary of terms from the anime and manga series Neon Genesis Evangelion. ...
Shinji Ikari Raising Project In the manga adaptation of the game, Gendo is shown in a humorous light, much unlike his anime counterpart. During a blackout at NERV, he shines his torch in a scary way, which promptly earned him a smack from Yui.
Also, the perceived "father-son rivalry" between Gendo and Shinji in Evangelion fandom is parodied here, as both men decided to "compete" to see who could pedal the fastest. (The contest was actually a way to generate electricity for NERV HQ, which had been hit by a blackout. The incident also pays homage to the original anime, where Gendo helps in the manual launching of the EVAs against the invading Angel.) Interestingly, both Fuyutsuki and Rei were shown to put in their share of work before dropping out due to fatigue.
