Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)

Grew up… in a Tokyo under attack. When


she was fourteen, Misato accompanied her
father on a research expedition to the
Antartica. The expedition, however, went
terribly wrong when a catalsymic event
called Second Impact happened, leading
to massive flooding and widespread
death. Misato survived, but only thanks to
her father's quick thinking. Fifteen years
later, humanity has rebuilt, if not quite
recovered, but they now face a new threat:
the monstrous, alien Angels.

Living… with Shinji Ikari, the newest


member of the Evangelion project.
Although only fourteen, Shinji has been
selected as an Evangelion pilot.
Evangelions are giant robots, and the only
things capable of killing Angels. It's not an
easy job, but Misato tries to make it easier
by taking Shinji in. However, it's uncertain
whether Misato's own insecurities—along
with her inability to shop, clean, or cook
anything other than instant ramen—make
her a fit guardian for the shy teenager.

Profession… operations director at NERV,


which oversees the Evangelion project.
Captain Katsuragi might be not be able to
keep house, but she has a keen mind for
tactics, and it's often thanks to her quick
thinking that mankind narrowly avoids
destruction.

Interests… alcohol, junk food, and


partying. Misato might be nearly thirty, but
she still lives like a college student. Beer is
her drink of choice, and she calls a cold
can one of the small things in life that
"make it all worthwhile!"

Relationship Status… complicated. Misato


dated Ryoji Kaji in college, and while
they've been exes for years, she clearly
still has feelings for him. However, Kaji's
playboy nature and Misato's own
tendency to jealousy make it hard for them
to rekindle anything resembling intimacy.

Challenge… defeating Angels while


battling her own inner demons. Misato
might seem cheerful, but she still has
deep scars from witnessing Second
Impact. It doesn't help that Misato's father
is dead, leaving his daughter to grapple
with her mixed feelings towards him with
no sense of closure. And in the midst of a
seemingly inevitable apocalypse, it seems
that NERV may have more secrets than
they pretend.

Personality… professional with a wilder


side. At NERV, Misato is the perfect
captain: level-headed, smart, and
collected. At home, however, she's
another story, never without a beer in her
hand or her pet penguin by her side. But
beneath both personality, there are hints
that Misato's true personality lies closer to
her summation of human relationships:
"The hedgehog’s dilemma...the closer we
become, the more deeply we hurt each
other."
