[[folder:Mana Kirishima]]
!!!Voiced by: MegumiHayashibara
[[quoteright:186:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ManaKirishima.jpg]]

From ''Girlfriend of Steel'' / ''Iron Maiden''. Mana is a new girl in Tokyo 3 who immediately becomes close to Shinji, inciting Asuka's jealousy. As her relationship with Shinji grows, it is revealed that she is a pilot for the TRIDENT project, a giant mech program in competition with NERV. Shinji must evaluate his feelings for her all while deciding how to rescue her when her mech goes haywire.

!!Associated tropes:

* AscendedExtra: She's one of the very few non-canon characters to reappear in another spin-off (''IkariShinjiRaisingProject''), and has prominent roles in the {{Fan Fic}}s ''FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'' and ''FanFic/NobodyDies''.[[note]]The latter point is raised only because those two fics have received their own TVTropes pages.[[/note]]
