Koji Katori
CharacterAn engineer buried in NERV's Technology Development Department, Koji Katori appears in the Secret of Evangelion game as a cautionary footnote: a disgruntled employee who tries to walk out with the dummy plug activation code and pays for the attempt with his life.
Appearance
Katori is an adult member of NERV's engineering staff whose portrait appears among the Secret of Evangelion character art. The game records almost nothing else about him physically; Ayumu Hasegawa supplies his voice.
Personality
Resentment defines what little the story reveals. Katori belongs to a faction of employees embittered over how NERV treats its personnel, and that shared grievance pushes him past complaint and into outright espionage.
