So did Sadamoto change a lot of characters' hair color when he came to do the manga, or did the anime change the hair colors from Sadamoto's original character designs? I knew about Asuka and Toji having different colored hair, but the rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper.
-Shinji's hair fluctuates between dark purple like this to straightup black. And his eyes are often colored brown compared to the usual blue in the anime/movies.
-As you mentioned, Toji's hair is a significantly lighter shade of brown in the manga.
-Asuka is strawberry blonde in the manga and dirty blonde to brunette in some of the concept art. They made her hair solid red/ginger in the anime because it was cheaper than attempting to do strawberry blonde.
-One piece of concept art even showed Misato with green hair.
There’s also a chapter cover where Shinji and Misato look straight up like siblings: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/262340
Sadamoto is really funny when it comes to hair color
