Character from Neon Genesis Evangelion by Hideaki Anno / Gainax
NERV's inspector and triple agent — charming, unshaven, and digging into secrets that will get him killed because someone has to find the truth even if no one survives to hear it.
Kaji flirts with everyone, commits to no one, and trusts nothing he hasn't verified personally. He works simultaneously for NERV, SEELE, and the Japanese government's intelligence service — triple agent by necessity, dead man walking by choice. He smuggled Adam's embryo from Germany to Japan aboard the same carrier that brought Asuka and Unit-02. He's the one who shows Misato the truth about Terminal Dogma and Lilith. His watermelon garden is the only sincere thing he allows himself — proof that something can grow in this world without being weaponized. His relationship with Misato is the great unfinished sentence of both their lives. He knows he will be killed for what he knows. He keeps digging anyway.
Tall, lean, unshaven stubble, long brown hair pulled into a loose ponytail. Rumpled suit that looks slept in. Easy grin that never quite reaches his eyes. Carries himself with slouching nonchalance that belies razor-sharp awareness. Tends a watermelon patch on NERV grounds.
Also known as: Kaji, Kaji-san, Mr. Kaji
