Biography

Shinji becomes involved in NERV's struggles against the Angels when he receives a letter from his father with an NERV ID card and note saying "Come! -Ikari Gendo", and a cute (if somewhat erotic) postcard from Captain Misato Katsuragi, the commander of the Evangelion team. He is delivered to the GeoFront by Misato, and pilots Unit 01 against the Angel Sachiel out of pity for a badly injured Rei Ayanami. After the battle, Shinji is taken in by Misato, who acts as his guardian. Shinji manages to build a social life where he becomes friends with classmates Toji Suzuhara and Kensuke Aida and something more than friends but not quite something else with Rei. His relationship with Asuka Langley Soryu is very complex, and the development of this relationship is a subtle but powerful driving force in the plot, extending into The End of Evangelion. Despite his best efforts, his relationship with his father remains strained, and Shinji abandons his hopes of reconciliation after the battle with the Angel Bardiel (during which Toji was seriously injured). As the series progresses, Shinji makes strides toward overcoming his psychological and emotional problems, only to regress into an even more damaged state by the end of the series; this also extends into The End of Evangelion.

Shinji's character

After losing Yui, Gendo left Shinji with a teacher when he was a toddler so he could focus on "Project Evangelion." This abandonment has caused Shinji to have little to no self-esteem and to become very reclusive and avoidant of difficult or painful situations, using escape as a shield. He is often shown listening to his SDAT player with headphones, blocking out the world. He appears in some ways to be the opposite of the extroverted Asuka, though not as much as Rei does. He also is shy, timid, and afraid of physical contact, especially from the women around him. Asuka tries to get Shinji to assert himself and even gets him to admit that he tried to kiss her when she was sleeping. In episode 15, Shinji kisses Asuka, at Asuka's insistence; Asuka pinched Shinji's nose so he wouldn't breathe on her and tickle her face, nearly suffocating him. In the original episode, Asuka washed her mouth out thoroughly afterwards; however, the director's cut shows that this was an act, and that the kiss and Shinji's reaction (or lack thereof) mattered a great deal more to Asuka than she let on. Shinji is also somewhat intimidated by Misato (who seems to enjoy teasing him good-naturedly), although her drunken behaviors and slobby housekeeping habits irritate him. In psychology, self-esteem or self-worth is a persons self-image at an emotional level; circumventing reason and logic. ... Digital audio tape can also refer to a compact cassette with digital storage. ... Those women longed for the touch of others lips, and thus invited their kisses. ...


Shinji's relationship with his Evangelion and status as a pilot is very ambivalent. On the one hand, as an Eva pilot, Shinji is very reluctant to go to war, to cause deaths, and to enter battle or to actively do things; on the other hand, he is given strength by his mother (whose soul is contained in Unit 01) and he defines his self by piloting the Eva. Sometimes Unit 01 reaches "berserker" mode - a state in which the Eva is activated without an apparent energy source - helping Shinji in his times of need. During the battle with the Angel Zeruel, Shinji exceeded a 400% sync ratio; he was able to defeat the Angel but was physically absorbed within the Eva, where he briefly met his mother. Shinji himself is unclear why he pilots the Eva, but eventually he realizes he does it for the approval of others: // In the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, Angels are beings which attack Tokyo-3 over the course of the story. ...

"Look at Shinji. Why does he continue to fight as an Eva pilot? The story keeps changing. He said it's because everyone tells him to. Because only he can do it. Because it has to be done to save humanity. Selfless and lofty sentiments for sure, and he believed those reasons to be genuine. Wrong; he wanted his father to approve of him. To say he was a good boy. How selfish of him, really, to be a human being." --Megumi Hayashibara[1] Megumi Hayashibara ), born March 30, 1967 in Kita, Tokyo, Japan) is a very popular Japanese seiyū, lyricist and singer. ...

Shinji's estrangement from his father and his mother literally being inside Unit 01 is believed by some to represent the Freudian Oedipus complex. His apparent attraction to Rei, who is a partial clone of Shinji's mother and Lilith, could also be seen as proof of this psychological aspect of Shinji's character; however, his attempts to gain Gendo's acceptance and love and his attraction to Asuka could be seen by some to counteract this idea. He may also be seen as suffering from the culture-specific psychological disorder taijin kyofusho and, from a Western psychological perspective, generalized social phobia (and developing avoidant personality disorder).[citation needed] Sigmund Freud (IPA: ), born Sigismund Schlomo Freud (May 6, 1856 – September 23, 1939), was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology. ... The Oedipus complex in Freudian psychoanalysis refers to a stage of psychosexual development in childhood where children of both sexes regard their father as an adversary and competitor for the exclusive love of their mother. ... “Lilitu” redirects here. ...

Avoidant personality disorder (APD or AvPD) [1] or Anxious personality disorder (APD) [2], is a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation and avoidance of social interaction. ...


While he is acknowledged later in the series to be a skilled Eva pilot, he is never really shown to have any other notable skills, in contrast to the other children (Toji is athletic, Kensuke has immense knowledge of everything associated with the military, and Asuka is a 14-year old college graduate). It is revealed in episode 15 that he is a cellist, something of which he had made no mention previously in the series. Thereon, the cello appears as a recurring motif in the series, possibly representing Shinji's "identity" - indeed, his musical talent seems to be the only way in which he feels that he can openly express himself. He claims to be untalented, but is shown both in episode 15 and in Death and Rebirth playing Bach's Cello Suite No. 1, a fairly difficult piece.[citation needed] The violoncello, usually abbreviated to cello, or cello (the c is pronounced as in the ch of check), is a bowed stringed instrument, a member of the violin family. ...

Shinji has often been seen as a version or reflection of the creator of Evangelion:

Shinji does reflect my character, both the conscious and unconscious parts," Anno admits. As a pilot of Earth's most advanced weapon, Shinji is far from the archetypical hero. Abandoned by his father Gendo at a young age, he eschews human contact so that he cannot hurt others, or in turn be hurt by them. The comparison, however, isn't to be taken too literally.
"I wasn't thrown out by my father or anything" he laughs. Nevertheless, Anno has referred to the plotline as a metaphor of his life.[2]

Shinji's sexuality

The series has caused debate over Shinji's sexuality. He is obviously attracted to Asuka, as is shown by his attempt to kiss her in her sleep, his arousal at the onsen, and the opening scenes of The End of Evangelion (see next section). However, he is seemingly unfazed by Misato's tendency to wear revealing clothes while at home, in stark contrast to Toji and Kensuke's reactions to simply being in Misato's presence. He also reacts with fear and confusion when Asuka suggestively teases him, and withdraws harshly when Misato attempts to comfort him in the wake of Rei's death in episode 23. His interactions with Kaworu are the focal point of questions about his sexuality, as Shinji is unusually open, emotional, and physically receptive when around Kaworu, more so than with any of the other principal characters. The series gives no indication that anything sexual happens between the two, but its creators have never given any clear-cut answers to the question. [citation needed] This has led to many different interpretations, including Shinji simply being a heterosexual who has an unusually close friendship with Kaworu due to his apparent lack of love from anyone else to Shinji actually being bisexual. Gainax itself has produced some mildly suggestive (though not explicit) official art of the two together, but has never officially endorsed the pairing of Shinji with Kaworu or with anyone else. [citation needed] Outdoor pool, Naruko Outdoor Onsen on Nakanoshima island in Nachikatsuura, Wakayama Prefecture Old onsen in Hakone An private outdoor rotenburo in Gorakadan Guidebook to Hakone from 1811 This rotenburo at Jigokudani Onsen is for Japanese Macaques. ...

Gainax has published several Evangelion-based dating simulation computer games in Japan (unreleased in the United States) in which the player assumes the role of Shinji and decides with whom he will be paired. In one of the most popular of these games, Koutetsu no Girlfriend (Iron Maiden, or popularly known in English as Girlfriend of Steel), Shinji meets a new girl at school named Mana Kirishima and the two strike a close friendship with romantic overtones, making Asuka hotly jealous and leading her to try to sabotage the relationship.

Shinji's interactions with Asuka

Throughout the series, Shinji carries out a deceptively straightforward love-hate relationship with Asuka. They are attracted to each other, but neither is able to properly express their feelings. For the most part, Shinji is friendly but also meek and submissive when around Asuka, especially when she is being abusive toward him. In the episodes just after their first meeting, he occasionally confronts her when her attitude becomes too much to bear, but by the end of the series he is almost completely withdrawn in her presence. Asuka's taunting is a front protecting her real desire for Shinji's affections, but for several reasons, mainly his own inferiority complex, Shinji fails to recognize Asuka's harassment for its true intent, and only thinks worse of himself for her criticisms; this, in turn, upsets Asuka even more, and confuses Shinji. A love-hate relationship is a personal relationship between humans or organizations, or figuratively between a human and an inanimate object, like a computer, a field of study, a body of ideas, or a profession, involving simultaneous or alternating emotions of love and enmity. ...


The fractured state of Asuka and Shinji's relationship becomes a key factor on events in The End of Evangelion. At the start of the movie, Shinji is shown with Asuka in her hospital room, begging her for help and trying to rouse her from unconsciousness. He accidentally pulls loose her vital sign monitors, exposing her breasts; he masturbates to this sight, but is horrified and disgusted with himself for doing so. His guilt and increased self-loathing add to his previous traumas and cause him to become so uncaring of his own existence that he does not resist when the invading JSSDF soldiers try to kill him. This forces Misato to save him and to try to rouse him from this state so that he can escape the GeoFront in Unit 01. The beginning of Instrumentality and the trauma of seeing the mangled remains of Unit 02 in the hands of the MP Evas cause Shinji to enter a schizophrenic fugue state in which he and Asuka are back in Misato's apartment; interestingly, at the exact time where he and Asuka first kissed. Again, he begs Asuka for help, claiming to be afraid of Misato and Rei, while also revealing his true feelings for Asuka ("I want to stay with you...You're the only person who can help me.") Asuka denies his pleas, attacking (in her view) the selfish nature of his perceived motives. Overwhelmed with his own hopelessness, Shinji loses control and strangles her. Several indicators suggest that the depiction of Asuka in this scene is Shinji's perception of Asuka rather than Asuka herself.


However, in the aftermath of the film's finale, Shinji appears on a beach with none other than Asuka. He tries to strangle her; she does not physically resist him, but instead lifts her hand to stroke his face - incidentally, as Yui had done just moments before. At this he collapses, weeping, onto her chest, and as the film ends she says, "気持ち悪い。" ("Kimochi warui", translated into English in the subtitles as "I feel sick", and as "How disgusting" in the dub). The exact meaning of the symbolism in this scene, as well as the intended meaning of Asuka's final words, are unclear and heavily debated. As the series ends there, the specifics of her and Shinji's subsequent lives are left up to the audience. One theory is that she and Shinji assume the roles of the new Adam and Eve, in spite of Yui's revelation to Shinji that all of humanity has the chance to return to physical form if they choose to do so. Official artwork seen on posters and DVD boxes for The End of Evangelion depicts Shinji and Asuka, side by side, looking out over the ruins of their world. It is implied that this occurs very soon after the final scene.

Shinji in Evangelion manga

Adaptation by Sadamoto

The Shinji of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's manga adaptation is considerably different from his animated counterpart. Although Shinji still has issues with his father and his past, and is plagued by self-doubt and feelings of worthlessness, he is considerably more temperamental (even violent at times), and is more apathetic, morose, and sullen than nervous and withdrawn. One of the first things he does after being forced to attack Toji (who is severely injured and crippled in the anime, but actually dies of his injuries in the manga) is to try to punch his father, something he'd never do in the anime. He is also more willing to burst out angrily in protest and voice his opinion - in the manga, Shinji loudly protests when Misato announces her plans to take him home to live with her; he does not do so in the anime. He is also openly spiteful towards his father, and admits to hating him, although deep down he still wishes for Gendo's acknowledgment. Shinji in the manga is also much more smart-mouthed than in the anime. For example, after Toji and Kensuke witness Shinji fighting Shamshel, Toji asks Shinji to hit him as payback for having beat up Shinji earlier. In the anime Shinji obliges, but in the manga Shinji decides not to hit him at the last minute, cheerfully saying, "I'd rather have you owe me one. It's more fun that way." He later embarrasses Toji in front of their female classmates, and calls this Toji's payback. He is also less submissive around Asuka and tends to respond to her insults with sarcastic comments or retorts rather than apologizing. He also openly criticizes Asuka for acting innocent and bubbly around Kaji and Misato, only to revert to her arrogant personality once they leave. Another change is that Gendo left Shinji with one of his uncles instead of a teacher. Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (貞本 義行 Sadamoto Yoshiyuki) (born 29 January 1962, in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan) is one of the founding members of the Gainax anime studio. ... Serialized in Shonen Ace Original run February 1995 issue (December 26, 1994[1]) – (ongoing) No. ...


In addition to the changes to his personality, the manga places a stronger emphasis on Shinji's relationship with Rei. Their initial interactions and Shinji's first impressions of Rei closely follow events in the anime, but as the story progresses, Shinji's kindness toward Rei and concern for her well-being make an enormous impression on her, eventually causing her to fall in love with Shinji. Shinji, for his part, is determined to get as close to Rei as he can, but is unsure of where their relationship is going, or even exactly what he feels toward her. After being asked by Asuka in vol. 5 if they are dating, he thinks to himself:

What I feel for Ayanami...it doesn't go with words...like "like" and "want to go out with." It's as if...she's a part of me that was torn away a long time ago...

After Rei sacrifices herself to kill the Angel Armisael, Shinji breaks down and cries in front of Kaworu, saying "Ayanami...I don't want to lose you..." // In the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, Angels are beings which attack Tokyo-3 over the course of the story. ...


The manga also makes enormous changes to Shinji's relationship with Kaworu. Kaworu reminds Shinji of how he felt about Rei the first time he met her, and he is disturbed by Kaworu's apparent lack of human feelings and tendency to invade his personal space. In vol. 9, Shinji says that he doesn't think he could ever like Kaworu. In vol. 10, Kaworu uses a kiss to stop Shinji from hyperventilating during a nightmare, and makes advances toward Shinji which he flatly refuses. He later leaves Kaworu's apartment with very little in the way of a good-bye, which upsets Kaworu.


Sadamoto initially follows the plot of Episode 25', beginning with the infamous hospital scene between Asuka and Shinji. However, it diverges considerably from the script, ending with Shinji shouting that the Asuka he wants to protect isn't the girl lying before him and Asuka apparently temporarily awakening from her coma to strangle him; NERV hospital staff separate the two and Shinji is led out while Asuka angrily screams that she hates everyone. Shinji breaks down crying outside soon after seeing his father and Rei pass by him almost unnoticed.


Shinji Ikari Raising Project

In this manga version, Shinji is also shown to be more confident than he was in the anime, butting heads with Asuka (a childhood friend as opposed to the anime). Also, he gets into somewhat comical situations with girls, much like the lead male character in harem anime. The story shows him in a probable love triangle with Rei (the newcomer in his life) and Asuka (the childhood friend). Here, Rei is a distant relative, from Yui's side of the family. A harem anime or (more accuratly) harem comedy is a term for an anime or manga story wherein usually one male character is surrounded by — often living with — several female characters. ...


To complicate matters, Kaworu (a SEELE agent here) was seen to be very friendly towards him, which Asuka finds irritating.


Character notes

"Ikari" means "anchor" in Japanese, and can also mean "rage" or "anger." Shinji was named for Gainax co-founder Shinji Higuchi; it can be translated as "child of god."[3][4] Evangelion character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto based his design of Shinji on his design of Nadia[1], the title character of Gainax's popular 1990-1991 TV series, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (also directed by Hideaki Anno): This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ... Shinji Higuchi (樋口真嗣) was born on September 22, 1965 in Tokyo, Japan. ... Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (貞本 義行 Sadamoto Yoshiyuki) (born 29 January 1962, in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan) is one of the founding members of the Gainax anime studio. ...

Speaking in concrete terms, his eyes are a girl's eyes. I drew them exactly as I drew those of Nadia. He's a male Nadia, just as if I had given Nadia a masculine makeover. Lengthen Shinji's eyelashes and change the hair style, and you have her.[5]
