Koji Takao: Evangelion Character Profile

Evangelion Character Profile Koji Takao Bottom line: Koji Takao is the engineer who makes WILLE’s stolen miracle move.

ContinuityRebuild of Evangelion RoleWILLE medical officer […]
Asuka Shikinami Langley: Evangelion Character Profile

Evangelion Character Profile Asuka Shikinami Langley Bottom line: Asuka Shikinami Langley is not Asuka Langley Soryu with a surname swap.
