For the character’s name, Anno took inspiration from Asuka Saki, the protagonist of the manga , written by ; for the surname, he merged the names of two ships used in the , the Japanese aircraft carrier and the American aircraft carrier . Despite her multi-ethnic origins, the staff made Asuka’s skin the same color as that of Rei Ayanami. For the terms used in the scenes with Asuka, staff asked for help from an American employee of Gainax, Michael House, who exploited his basic knowledge of the language, acquired in high school, and a Japanese-German dictionary from a local library. According to ‘s May Callum, Gainax did not pay attention to the dialogue’s German grammar, believing the series would never be successful enough to be watched by native German speakers.
