Rei Ayanami

Rei Ayanami is the enigmatic pilot of Evangelion Unit-00 in the Evangelion franchise. Emotionally detached and devoted to Gendo Ikari, Rei is later revealed to be central to both NERV’s operations and SEELE’s Human Instrumentality Project. Her identity and connection to Lilith are key to the story’s climax.

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