Ayaka Matsuda is a fictional character name associated with Evangelion Shin Gekijouban, the Rebuild of Evangelion film series. She is not a major canon character in the core story, and the name is generally treated as a minor or background character reference rather than a central pilot or command figure. In the context of Evangelion, such characters usually help populate the world and support the more prominent emotional and thematic focus on the main cast. Her role is therefore limited, with little direct impact on the main plot.
