Tsundere - Asuka Langley Soryu - Neon Genesis Evan - Asuka is designated as the Second Child ('Second Children' in the original Japanese versions) of the Evangelion Project and pilots the Evangelion Unit 02. Asuka is only one quarter Japanese, which accounts for her Japanese name but European appearance. Asuka is a native of Germany, having been raised there, though her nationality is technically American. Asuka's native language is German, although she speaks fluent Japanese; in both the series and the manga she tends to curse in German. She is a child prodigy and has a university degree as a teenager, though it is not specified what field her degree is in. She is characterized by her fiery red hair and equally fiery temper. Asuka is very proud of being an Eva pilot, and near-constantly wears her A10 nerve clips in her hair, because she wants everyone around her to know that she is a pilot. Asuka's iconic catch-phrase (always directed at Shinji) is 'anta baka?!', which the official English dub renders as 'What are you, stupid?!' - answers.com
