There was speculation as to the identity of "Ichi".
Has it already been discounted that its actually Unit 01?
Has to be Unit 01. Clues:
1. The Evas are sapient.
2. Ichi has been Shinji's earliest pen-pal. Set-up with the connivance of Yui. Lost contact when he moved. Regained immediately with Yui's approval
when he returned.
My first thought that Ichi was either the first child (Rei) or possibly Asuka. Asuka was crossed out because the times when Ichi and Shinji were communicating
Asuka wasn't near a keyboard and the Ikari's wouldn't be allowing a possible threat to their son to be in contact with him. I wouldn't put it
past Yui to set-up a bond of friendship between Unit 01 and Shinji. Weird as that makes sound, it does make sense. Unit 01 lives vicariously thru Shinji. Unit
01 is a part of Shinji's life and does the world.
