Just for those hardcore otakus out there, most people already know that most 
of the characters' last names are derived from battleships, destroyers, and 
cruisers in Japanese history, many from World War II.  However, a lesser 
known fact is the origins of the name "Gendo" and "Fuyutski".  *Anxiously 
looks around to see if he spelled Fuyutski wrong....*.  Anyway, Gendo is 
derived from "Genda", who was the best air fleet commander on the cruiser 
Akagi.  Fuyutski is derived from "Fujita", who was a torpedo bay commander, 
I believe.  Genda and Fujita both had to be replaced before the battle of 
Midway because Genda was sick with influenza and Fujita had some sickness.  
Just thought you guys would like to know where Gendo and Fuyutski came from, 
in case you didn't know already.

"Yes, I know I spelled something wrong.  Can't I just say I'm sorry?  Why 
not?  But everyone makes mistakes!  Oh, come on.  You're not serious.  Put 
that down.  You're going to hurt someone with that thing. NO!  NOT THE SHARP 
ONE!  AHHHHHHHHHH!"
