Rebuild


Maya Ibuki (伊吹マヤ, Ibuki Maya?) is a fictional character from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series. Holding the rank of First Lieutenant, she is one of the three main computer technicians at NERV (Rebuild) headquarters, 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 Evangelions and their pilots in battles and directing support for them.

Profile[]

Maya is a young woman in her twenties. She has short brown hair, as well as hazel eyes. As a member of the NERV, she wears a beige jacket closed by a blue triangular button with a rigid stand-up collar. There are two orange bands on her shoulders. She also wears a matching skirt over white leggings. Underneath her jacket, she wears a dark undershirt.

History[]

In the first two Rebuild of Evangelion films, the story of Maya is the same as the original series with minor changes in 2.0.

Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo[]

In Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, Maya is now fighting NERV alongside her colleagues under the command of Misato Katsuragi aboard the AAA Wunder; she can be seen giving orders during the launch of the ship. Following the events after the Near Third Impact, her personality is shown to be more abrasive towards her WILLE team.

Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time[]

In Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, she appears as leading a team of hackers to activate the Angel-Sealing Hex Pillar over Paris, France to recover the control of the Euro-NERV Paris base when attacked by NERV using a group of Evangelion's Mark.44A, Mark.4B and Mark.4444C series.

After the initial events of Operation Yamato, she and the rest of her team are the last ones to leave the AAA Wunder as they prepare the Spear of Gaius. She is shown to be proud of her team, later boarding the Nekozame-class Orbital Assault Craft and leaving the area.
