MIT is referenced in some Japanese anime: the sci-fi series "Neon Genesis Evangelion" (1995) mentions MIT as the location of one of the replica MAGI supercomputers; and the comedy series "Pani Poni Dash!" (2001–2011) revolves around an 11-year-old student who graduated from MIT and travels to Japan to become a high school teacher. The CIA character "Ed Hoffman" in the action thriller "Body of Lies" (2008) can be seen wearing an MIT shirt in multiple shots.
