Touji Suzuhara

Driven by a fierce protective instinct, this athletic student initially harbors deep resentment toward Shinji Ikari, blaming him for the injuries sustained by his younger sister during an Angel attack. His early hostility toward Shinji and his constant friction with Asuka eventually transform into a meaningful bond after witnessing the immense psychological toll of Eva piloting. This resilient young man evolves from a bitter adversary into a loyal friend, navigating the heavy burdens of combat and personal loss.
