When you say household name, do you mean that Kimimaru/etc. got actual
mainstream attention & media coverage for Re-Take? I know it was
popular among Eva fans in English, but that's not necessarily saying
very much how it did in Japan. (No doubt there are pornographic
doujins which are well-known among Eva fans but one would not call the
author a 'household name'.)
