Rumor has it, that many of the last names of the Eva "cast of characters" are taken from World War II Imperial Japanese Navy battleships. To wit: [Misato "Katsuragi"<-Unryu Class Aircraft Carrier Katsuragi] [Rei "Ayanami"<-Fubuki Class Destroyer Ayanami] [Asuka "Soryu"<-Soryu Class Aircraft Carrier Soryu] [Ritsuko "Akagi"<-Akagi Class Aircraft Carrier Akagi] [Kouzou "Fuyutsuki"<-Akizuki Class Destroyer Fuyutsuki]
