Gendo Ikari

Gendo Ikari is the commander of NERV and the estranged father of Shinji Ikari in the Evangelion franchise. Cold and manipulative, he uses NERV and the Evangelion units ostensibly to serve SEELE’s Human Instrumentality Project, but in truth he pursues a personal goal: reunion with his wife Yui Ikari, whose soul resides in Evangelion Unit-01.

Gendo appears across Neon Genesis Evangelion, The End of Evangelion, and the Rebuild of Evangelion films.
