Kouzou Fuyutsuki

Kouzou Fuyutsuki is the Sub-Commander of NERV, serving as the stoic, experienced second-in-command to Gendo Ikari. A former professor with deep ties to NERV's founding, he provides institutional authority and a moral counterweight within the organization overseeing the Evangelion pilots.

Kouzou Fuyutsuki steps onto the page in the Modern Age manga run of Neon Genesis Evangelion, published by Bonnier Carlsen beginning in 2004 under the creative vision of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and GAINAX. Across his ten catalogued appearances, he moves through a world populated by some of the most iconic figures in manga — Rei Ayanami, Gendo Ikari, and Asuka Langley Soryu among them — lending the series a sense of institutional gravity and quiet authority. His presence is a reminder that behind the chaos of the Evangelion universe, there are figures who observe, endure, and carry the weight of what they know. For collectors drawn to the atmospheric depth of this landmark series, Fuyutsuki is a character whose significance hums steadily beneath the surface.
