Character Info
Ritsuko Akagi is NERV’s chief scientist, directing the three MAGI supercomputers and the bioengineering division. Short blonde hair, a white lab coat, and an authentication terminal accompany her diagnostics in Central Command during Angel attacks. The MAGI embody Naoko Akagi as scientist, mother, and woman, forcing Ritsuko to carry technical responsibility beside personal injury. Even when she opposes Misato Katsuragi, she provides the decision logs and shutdown conditions behind her conclusion.
