Become a Sponsor Today! Asuka is just one-fourth Japanese, which explains her Japanese name yet European appearance. Asuka originates from Germany, having been raised there, although her nationality is technically American. Asuka's native language is German, and in both the series and the manga she tends to curse in German. Asuka was born to an American father (unknown) and a deceased German mother. She is a child prodigy and has earned a university degree in an unspecified field as a teenager; she also speaks fluent Japanese, but struggles with reading and writing kanji. Asuka had years of training beginning at a young age to become a pilot for the Evangelion. Asuka is very proud of being an Eva pilot, and almost always wears her A10 nerve clips in her hair because she wants everyone around her to know that she is a pilot. Asuka's famous catchphrase (always directed at Shinji) was "What are you, stupid?!"
