Results Of The Favorite Asuka Poll

Tuesday, July 03, 2018
I added an Opinion Stage poll to this post where I talked about characters from two different series who happen to share the same first name. The name in question is "Asuka". The characters are Asuka Kazama from Tekken and Sohryu Asuka Langley from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a mecha anime series produced by Gainax and Tatsunoko Production and written and directed by Hideaki Anno. Sohryu Asuka Langley (#ad) is one of the main characters from this show. She is designated as the Second Child and the pilot of the Evangelion Unit 02.

She is 14 and was born in Germany to an American father and a Japanese-German mother, which makes her 3 quarters German and 1 quarter Japanese. She comes across as proud, vain, and arrogant. She is extremely confident, but she has insecurities and issues that she tries to hide from everyone else.

On the other hand, Tekken is a fighting game series, which can be played on several different platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, and Wii. The franchise was created, developed, and published by Namco or Bandai Namco Entertainment. Asuka Kazama (#ad) is one of the playable characters from this video game. She was first introduced in Tekken 5.

She is a 17-year-old high school student who is actually related to Jin Kazama, the main character of the Tekken series. Like Evangelion's Asuka, she has a very confident personality. She's a brilliant fighter who has no problems starting fights, but she does try to break fights between other people.

Anyway, for reasons that I'll talk about in another post on another one of my blogs, I've decided to delete the Opinion Stage poll and replace it with one from SurveyMonkey instead. The poll in question was created on 12 Jun 2015.
