Asuka Langley Soryu (惣流・アスカ・ラングレー Sōryū Asuka Rangurē) is a fictional character of the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. Within the series, she is designated as the Second Child and the pilot of the Evangelion Unit 02. Her surname is romanized as Soryu in the English manga and Sohryu in the English version of the TV series, the English version of the movie, and on Gainax's website.

She is 1/4 Japanese and 3/4 German, although her nationality is American. Asuka's surname comes from the Japanese World War II aircraft carrier Soryu, her German surname from the American World War II aircraft carrier Langley, and her Rebuild surname from the Japanese World War II destroyer Shikinami. Her first name comes from Asuka Saki (砂姫 明日香, Saki Asuka), who is the main character of the Japanese comic, SuperGirl Asuka (超少女明日香 Cho-Shojo Asuka?) written by Shinji Wada.

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Doctor Finkelstein

Doctor Finkelstein is a resident of Halloween Town. He is the mad scientist and the "father" of Sally.

Doctor Finklestein lives in a large observatory with his living rag doll creation Sally and his hunchbacked assistant Igor.

They all three are trick-or-treaters, with masks similar to their faces(e.g. Barrel's skeleton mask is large and round to fit his face. And has a huge grin on it and he has a near-permanent creepy smile). Their names are a play on the phrase, "lock, stock, and barrel." Though not totally antagonistic, they are usually the comedy relief. They appea
