Mikasa Asuka Langley – Evangelion the media char and cosplay char
Asuka Langley is the fiery and complex Eva pilot from the Evangelion franchise, known for her aggressive personality, tactical brilliance, and emotional vulnerability.

Alternate outfits from school uniforms to tactical gear offer variety, with fan art expanding her visual range. Her blend of beauty, rage, and brilliance makes her a standout at conventions and online showcases.
