However, in May 2022, the name “Rei Kamiki” was officially unveiled. The surname “Kamiki” (神木) was chosen by the SOD production team. The given name “Rei” (麗) was actually Kamiki’s own preference; she had always wanted a two-character name. When combined, the name cleverly reads as a pun: Kami-kirei (literally “hair beautiful”), referencing her famously lustrous, long black hair. — Rei Ayanami, Neon Genesis Evangelion If you
