Musashi Lee Strasberg
CharacterA teenage test pilot created for the video game Neon Genesis Evangelion: Iron Maiden, Musashi Lee Strasberg flies the T•RIDEN•T Land Cruiser for the Japanese Strategic Self Defense Force alongside fellow test pilots Mana Kirishima and Keita Asari.
Appearance
Official material presents Musashi through his in-game portrait art, and the source text preserves no detailed account of his looks. He is fourteen years old during the events of the game.
Personality
Surviving documentation centers on his place in the T•RIDEN•T program rather than his character, so no personality profile is recorded for him. His defining choice in the story, breaking away from the JSSDF with a fellow pilot, is left to speak for itself.
History
Musashi and Keita flee the JSSDF in their T•RIDEN•T units and head for the Hakone area, an escape that pulls NERV into the incident. The Raiden becomes involved as well, and its pilot is badly hurt in a plunge over a waterfall.
The Shinden dodges detection for a time by hiding beneath the surface of Lake Ashi, but a trap built around Mana as bait brings the run to an end. In a joint operation, the JSSDF and NERV send the Evangelion units to shoot the machines down, and an N² bomb completes their destruction.
