'Perceived mass' is just another name for energy, and the contribution to that from kinetic energy specifically depends on relative motion of body and observer.

Mass by definition is the amount of matter contained in a body. But for a relativistic object its relativistic mass is greater than the actual rest mass. If accelerating a body increases its mass then by definition it is increasing the amount of matter in a body.
So my question is where does this extra matter come from?
