Gendo Ikari is a fictional character in the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. He is the commander of NERV, a fictional research-and-development and paramilitary organization under the command of the United Nations. While all of the English versions romanize his given name as Gendo, Gainax's website romanizes it Gendoh, and some fansites romanize his name as "Gendou", which accords with the traditional romanization of the Japanese katakana.
