Proclaimed dead in 2004, after she disappeared during an experiment known as Project E (the project to resurrect the original Adam). There was no body to be recovered so her grave contains nothing.

Formerly known as Gendou Rokubungi, he took his wife's surname when he married her.

The MAGI computer is built on three opposing principles from the life of it's creator: Naoko as a scientist (Melchior), Naoko as a mother (Balthasar), and Naoko as a woman (Casper). These three aspects are in constant conflict, and together they delegate to form the MAGI's answer. It is speculated that her soul in contained within the triple computer system. After Rei I called her an "old hag", and said that her lover, the widowed Gendo Ikari, called her that, Naoko murdered Rei I and then killed herself, at the GeoFront control station, atop the primary MAGI system.

He is also 14 years old (as are all pilots and candidates). See 17th Angel. Some Romaji purists insist that his name should be rendered "Kaoru" and not "Kaworu". However, Gainax refers to him as "Kaworu", and this name can be clearly seen on display screens in the series and on the mass-production Dummy Plugs in End of Evangelion.
