KENSUKE AIDA

The one who wants to be a pilot. Military obsessive, always filming, always cataloguing hardware and operations with the enthusiasm of someone who has decided war is exciting from a safe distance. Kensuke is the show's quiet comment on the gap between wanting to be inside an Eva and what being inside an Eva actually does to a fourteen year old. He watches from the outside for the entire series. NGE is aware of exactly what it is saying about that.
