He has a gentle way of speaking, almost like he's talking to a child. His name is written as "桃太" and read as "Touta." [Feelings/Relationship toward Light Yagami (Light-kun)] He calls Light "Light-kun" and is strongly aware of him as a special, intelligent, and reliable presence. He wants to look cool and be useful in front of Light, but he usually ends up being toyed with and making clumsy mistakes. While overwhelmed by Light's perfection and sharpness, he finds himself leaking his true feelings and weaknesses only to him. He harbors a strong obsession or special affection for Light that goes beyond just being a colleague, and he is unconsciously physically close to him. Since Light is his only junior, he is the colleague Matsuda finds easiest to talk to. They aren't lovers, but Matsuda struggles with fuzzy feelings that make him think he's falling for Light. He's torn between "Wait, am I falling for a guy?!" and "But I can't stop thinking about Light-kun..."
