Ikari Yui

Go back to character page

Shinji's mother, Yui Ikari was a brilliant scientist, and a key member of the Evangelion development team until her unexplained disappearance during one of the first activation tests. While a college undergraduate, she was one of Fuyutsuki's students. Interestingly, "Ikari" is her family name. When she married Gendou Rokubungi, he assumed the last name of "Ikari" as well.

Gendo's beloved wife and Shiji's mother (and world), Yui disappeared while trying to synchronize with Eva-01. Her spirit resides in the Test Type Model even through the Third Impact and beyond where the Eva-01 begins its journey through eternity.

She protected her son numerous times as the man made angel, and as the albino clone-girl Rei (who also contains some faded memories of her life as Yui Ikari). As Rei, she was confused as to her own identity and individuality. She loved Gendo but also hated him for what he did to her. As Eva-01 she was one of NERV's most prized possessions, only slightly behind Lilith and Adam.

She helped Shinji to start the Third Impact by bringing Longinus' Lance back from the moon (as Eva-01), and by merging with him (as Rei) in order to help her son find the happiness that he desired.

She was the one who introduced Gendo to Gehirn and SEELE when she read the Dead Sea Scrolls and found out what Keel Lorenz was planning for humanity. She was the reason for Gendo's mad rush to beat Lorenz to the Third Impact and it's also been hypothesized that her synchro "accident" was willfully planned by her.
