Nagisa Kaoru Age: 15 CV: Ishida Akira First appearance: Episode 24

Nagisa Kaoru was sent directly to NERV Headquarters, as the replacement of Souryu Asuka Langley, for the pilot of Eva-02. He was referred as "The fifth children". Due to unusual synchronization data, Kaoru was found to be the 17th Angel, i.e. the last one. When he first came, he made friends with Ikari Shinji, and Shinji liked him too. Unfortunately, when Shinji found he was an angel, he had no choice but to kill him.

Once when he approached Ayanami Rei, he said that she was the same as him, and Rei seemed to agree with him. Does it suggested that Rei is also an angel? NO!!! That is a huge mistake many NGE followers make, ask Dirac about that one if you're confused or want to know why. Also, Kaoru came off a little... gay. Was the intended? probably. What reason? beats me, probably to show us that only gay people like Shinji ^_^ nah, just kidding.
