Character

Maya Ibuki

伊吹 マヤ

First Lieutenant Maya Ibuki is one of the three main computer technicians at NERV HQ, along with Makoto Hyuga and Shigeru Aoba, and serves directly under Dr. Ritsuko Akagi. Maya frequently acts as Ritsuko's assistant, particularly with work on the MAGI that control the base, and computer readouts from the Evangelion units. During combat against the Angels she, along with Aoba and Hyuga, operate the primary control stations on the Command Center's bridge level, monitoring the status of the Eva and their pilots in battles and directing support for them. Maya is an optimistic and cheerful though sensitive young woman, who often hides her eyes or retches during the more violent Eva battles. When the JSSDF soldiers stormed NERV headquarters in The End of Evangelion, she also refuses to fire on any of them, saying that she does not have the nerve to kill another human being.
