>>4349390Kaji was supposed to be the positive male role model for Shinji, working in opposition to Gendo. Though their mannerisms were similar (Like most of the Eva cast, they were both somewhat detached from others), Kaji tried to do good despite his situation and was comfortable with himself. He tried to behave like a father figure for Shinji, especially in the later episodes like 17,18 and 19.
