In the previous article, the blogger introduced the origin of the names of the four characters Ayanami Rei, Asuka, Mikibo, and Katsuragi Miri in "EVA", especially the part of the ship name contained in the name. Friends who have not seen it are welcome to go up. Read, this issue will still introduce other characters in "EVA" based on the ship name.
Akagi Ritsuko (Akagi Ritsuko):
In "EVA", Akagi Ritsuko, Akagi Naoko's mother and daughter have an indescribable relationship with the protagonist's father, Ikari Gendo. Ritsuko's mother and daughter are NERV scientists, old smokers, and their smoking frequency is only lower than that of blessing Ryoji. Seeing the surname Akagi, many people should think of Akagi Takeken in "Slam Dunk", but the origin of Akagi's name is from the homophone of あかぎ (akagi) Akagi, that is, the Imperial Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier Akagi.
The name of the Akagi comes from Akagi Mountain in Gunma County, Japan. It is also an interesting topic to have the opportunity to share with you the naming rules of the Imperial Japanese Navy warships. Akagi Mountain is a Hugh volcano, but Akagi is not a Hugh. Aircraft carrier, this cargo is not a good thing at all. After the July 7th Incident, the aircraft carrier Akagi launched air raids on the Yangtze River Basin, South China, and Hainan. In the Pearl Harbor incident, the first wave of 49 horizontal bombers also took off from the Akagi. Yes, until the Battle of Midway Island, the Akagi was blown up by a dive bomber from the USS Enterprise and floated on the sea. This plot can be seen in the movie "Midway Island", which is also a classic moment in the history of naval warfare. He sank under the order of the original, and Akagi in the original ended up being shot and killed by Ikari Gendo.
Winter Moon Farming (Fuytsuki Kouzou):
Also known as Fuyuki Kozumi, he is the deputy commander of NERV. He is both the right-hand man of Ikarigendo and the rival of Ikarigendo. The character is very calm and objective. The name also comes from the Imperial Japanese Navy. The No. 8 ship, but since the Winter Moon, the ship's hull design and anti-aircraft firepower have been strengthened, so it can also be regarded as the lead ship of the Winter Moon class, which belongs to the anti-aircraft destroyer produced in response to naval air raids . In "EVA", Fuyuki Kozo and Ibuki, Aoba, Hyuga and others finally turned into LCL (orange juice). After the post-war Fuyuzuki destroyer undertook the work of evacuating overseas Chinese and prisoners, it joined forces with the Ryuzuki and Yanagi. The ship's superstructure and sealed compartments were dismantled together, and the empty hull of the hull was poured into cement and gravel, which became part of the breakwater of Kitakyushu Port, which still remains today.
In the theatrical version of "Q", several of NERV's core supporting characters, in addition to Fuyuki Kozo, joined WILLE led by Katsuragi Misato.
Ibuki Maya (Maya Ibuki) :
In "EVA", Maya Ibuki is the second-class lieutenant under Ritsuko Akagi of the Technical Bureau of NERV Headquarters, and is Ritsuko's schoolgirl. He is in charge of the operating system MAGI. In the setting, he likes Ritsuko Akagi. He has a lace edge attribute, which is rare in supporting roles. Double ship name configuration. The name Ibuki is named after the two old Japanese Imperial Japanese Navy battleships that participated in World War I and World War II. The name comes from Ibuki Mountain, which is located between Shiga and Gifu prefectures. The former is a battle cruiser, the second ship of the Kurama class, and the latter The other is a Suzuya-class heavy cruiser (almost named Kurama, the name is not enough), it was converted into an aircraft carrier after the Battle of Midway, but it was not completed until the surrender of Japan.
Maya is from the No. 4 ship of the Kaohsiung-type heavy cruiser. The other three ships are Kaohsiung, Atago, and Chokai. These four heavy cruisers are all SSR-level cards in the mobile game "Azur Lane", which is The four canine sisters, Maya's name is taken from Maya Mountain in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It was completed at the Kawasaki Shipyard, which is the predecessor of the current motorcycle company. The construction of this ship coincided with the world economic crisis. Kawasaki The shipyard almost went bankrupt, and if he died in childbirth, of course, there would be no Kawasaki Green Ninja 400 roaring on the street now.
Shigeru Aoba (Aoba シゲル, Shigeru Aoba):
The role of Aoba is also a second-class lieutenant, who is responsible for communication and intelligence analysis on a daily basis. The appearance has changed in the old and new theatrical versions. The name Aoba comes from the first ship of the Aoba-class heavy cruiser of the old Japanese Navy. The former type is the ancient Eagle class, and the latter type is the Miao advanced. It also comes from the tradition of naming mountains, and it comes from Aoba Mountain in the Maizuru Naval Port. The Aoba participated in the Battle of the Solomon Sea and the Battle of the Coral Sea, suffered heavy losses during the counterattack on Guadalcanal Island, was torpedoed at the Port of Manila and dragged back to the Port of Kure for repair, and was finally sunk by the U.S. air strike at the Port of Kure.
Makoto Hyuga (Makoto Hyuga):
The character name of Hyuga comes from hyuga, which is an ancient place name in Japan. It is now part of Miyazaki Prefecture. Friends who are familiar with the history of the Warring States Period should know that the famous military commander Akechi Mitsuhide was called Weiren Hinata Shou after he was given the surname Weiren. The introduction in Wikipedia The origin of the character's name is "Hyuga frigate" is obviously wrong. The Hyuga frigate started construction in 2006 and launched in 2007. Anno Hideaki will not have this kind of predictive ability. Refer to the naming rules of each character, it should also be from World War II. The old Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Hyuga, so the ship also has a branch shrine from Miyazaki Jingu. It was only later inherited by the frigates of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. The battleship Hyuga was equipped with a flight deck in the middle of the Pacific War and was transformed into an aviation battleship, which could carry Zuiyun water reconnaissance aircraft and comet carrier-based bombers. The air raid of Wugang ushered in the fate of disintegration after the war.
The above are some of the supporting roles with important roles in the work. In addition, an anti-NERV organization WILLE appeared in "Evangelion New Theatrical Edition: Q", mainly for the members of the AAA wunder battleship under the leadership of Katsuragi Misato, and Ritsuko Akagi. Incarnation of the deputy captain, due to the limited role, the blogger does not intend to give a slightly detailed introduction.

In addition to film and television works, there are also several new characters appearing in games or comic works such as the game "Evangelion 2nd Impression" and "Evangelion Steel Girlfriend", and the naming method is also in the same vein as the previous characters. Just say it again.
Kirishima's real name (Kirishima マナ きりしま マナ):
A student of No. 3 Shin-Tokyo No. 1 Middle School, his true identity is a juvenile soldier of the Strategic Self-Defense Force. Kirishima's name comes from the battleship Kirishima. The real name is pronounced as mana, so it is also translated as Kirishima Mana, and when it comes to Kirishima, some friends should think of the battleship Haruna. Liu, the source of Mana's name is said to be the animation work "Wang Li Universe Army".

It is also a juvenile soldier of the Strategic Self-Defense Force. The name comes from the battleship Musashi, which has nothing to do with Miyamoto Musashi.
