Dr. Matoba is a psychopath devoid of any sort of humanity. While initially a supporter of Blue Ship's cause of saving the environment by destroying humanity, as it is revealed, Dr. Matoba was simply a greedy weapons dealer who only partnered up with Dr. Kujo to found the organization and initiate their plan for the sake of profiting off the virus by selling it off to the highest bidder. And for the sake of making money, Dr. Matoba has no qualms subjecting people, no matter how many or what their state, to agonizing death to have the virus tested, and is a complete coward.
