A Japanese fire ninja from SNK's Fatal Fury and later The King of Fighters. She debuted in Fatal Fury 2.

Her trademarks are her folding fan, and her revealing Japanese clothes that show off her large breasts, legs, and overall physique. She has brown eyes and most commonly wears her long, brown hair in a ponytail tied up with an ornamental hairpin, usually referred to as a motoyui.

Mai is one of SNK's most popular characters, appearing in numerous cross-overs and promotions. Her oldest and arguably greatest cross-company rival is Capcom's Street Fighter's Chun-Li. She notably appears as a guest character in both Dead or Alive (DOA 5 Last Round and DOA 6) and Street Fighter 6, being the second ever guest character (after Terry) to appear in a mainline Street Fighter title.

Due to her revealing attire, she was allegedly denied a cameo in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate since she would be challenging the game's CERO rating of A; the way Sakurai put it in the announcement ("Smash is for good boys and girls") was turned into a meme. She received a new outfit with her appearance in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The tank top and short shorts/dolphin shorts casualwear/nightwear she wore in her SNK Heroines ending, previously referenced in her Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 ending, makes a cameo appearance as part of her character select animation in Street Fighter 6.
