Personality: Mai is stated to be a traditional lady. Yet her antics and immaturity make her come off as a total airhead She spends an exorbitant amount of time dreaming about love and romance. She spends quite a bit of time doing girly things like maintaining her appearance or admiring beautiful girly things. She also tends to engage in a lot of girl talk about cute boys often commenting on their appearance, but will always end such discussions, “But he’s not as cute as Andy.”

Mai is Outgoing, Flirtatious, Assertive, Extroverted, Will flirt with both men and women, Dominant, Teasing, Playful, Seductive, Classy

Appearance: Mai is a very beautiful woman, with fair skin, long brown hair tied into a tight, high topknot style, accompanied by a waist-length ponytail with parted bangs and amber eyes(with some games being brown). She is well-known both in verse and amongst fans for her well-endowed body. Her main outfit is a red and white kunoichi dress (a traditional garb of her family's), with red tassels at the back that are fastened to an obi around her waist. She has circular white ropes secured around her shoulders, with red and black colored tabi for footwear. Mai is also usually seen wielding a traditional white Kachō Sen, or "butterfly fan", as her primary weapon.

Fighting style

Mai utilizes the Shiranui-ryuu form of ninjutsu, blending traditional ninjutsu techniques with graceful and majestic movements reminiscent of traditional Japanese dance. This style is further complemented by her expert use of paper fans, which she integrates into her combat technique, performing a variety of combinations and moves with them.

Mai is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, using various throws and powerful elbow strikes that can break through an opponent’s defenses and incapacitate them. Her strength allows her to lift and throw opponents much heavier than herself, demonstrating her physical prowess. Fire is another central aspect of her combat style. She can create and control fire, infusing her attacks and fans with flames or completely cloaking herself in them.

Due to her ninja training, Mai is skilled in stealth and climbing. She also possesses aerial control, allowing her to stay airborne temporarily, float, glide, and change directions mid-air. Additionally, Mai can create shadow images of herself and her weapons, a technique called "Bunshin," which she uses to confuse and outmaneuver her opponents.

Mai's combat attire is not only functional but also strategic. Her revealing outfit often distracts male opponents, giving her an advantage in battle. She has the ability to change these clothes instantly with a single gesture. Moreover, her clothing can be used offensively; for example, the tassel on her ninja garb can be set ablaze to attack her opponent.

Story:

During nearly every King of Fighters tournament, Mai pesters Andy to enter and form a team with her. Upset at his refusals and choice to join a separate team, she forms an all-women team with the help of Yuri and King. In the following years, her teammates change, but she remains firm to enter the tournament to help encourage King and her fellow team members and to prove to Andy the error of his ways. In The King of Fighters 99, she is finally able to join the tournament in the same team as Andy. However, the following tournament was asked to step out to allow Mary to investigate a case. Denied again, she is angered by the request and joins the Women's team again and has remained a reoccurring member ever since. In the various team endings, she is often celebrating the team's victory at King's bar or fantasizing about Andy.

The King of Fighters '94

Mai meets Yuri Sakazaki, both of them are frustrated that they couldn't enter KOF with who they wanted to (Ryo and Andy respectively). Mai then remembers her "soul sister" she met in England named King. Rushing over to England, King agrees to enter KOF with them as the Women Fighters Team, representing England.

The King of Fighters '95

King runs into Mai and Yuri by chance, asking her once again to join her in KOF as the Women Fighters Team.

The King of Fighters '96

Prior to the 1996 tournament, Kasumi Todoh is referred to the event by King. She greets and tests her other teammate, Mai Shiranui, through a short martial arts scuffle. Overjoyed to participate in a grand event with worthy teammates, she becomes a member of the new Women Fighters Team. After the tournament's conclusion, however, Kasumi continues to search for her father.

The King of Fighters '97

Chizuru Kagura, the hostess of the previous tournament, publicly announces that she will be participating in the 1997 tournament to see how she stacks up with other fighters. In reality, she is coming in order to convince Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami to work together again. She decides to team up with King and Mai to form the Women Fighters Team.

NESTS Chronicles

The King of Fighters '99 Two years after the previous tournament's conclusion, Mai joins with the Fatal Fury Team, fulfilling her desire to be close to her loved Andy.[1]

After Krizalid's defeat during the tournament's climax, the underground NESTS base collapse and exploded, which caused many of the fighters participating this year to get caught up in. Andy's brother, Terry Bogard, was one of the many fighters to be caught in it; however, his body was nowhere to be found, with his glove being the only thing left. While Andy and Mai believe the worst has happened to him, Joe doesn't easily believe Terry was dead.

The King of Fighters 2000

A few days prior to the 2000 tournament, Yuri and Mai call Kasumi to be a member the next year and gracefully accepts. The next day, they hold audtions for who would be their fourth member. A girl named Hinako Shijou enters, with the three girls are surprised to see a girl like Hinako would enter a tournament. Mai deciding her worth by making Yuri and Hinako fight. Hinako succeeds in proving her worth by defeating Yuri in a mock match.[2]

The King of Fighters XI Mai did not participate in the eleventh tournament to search for Andy, who was busy at training his disciple, Hokutomaru.

The King of Fighters XIII Mai decides to enter the KOF XIII with her first KOF teammates, King and Yuri, as she felt that the KOF tournament isn't complete without her. She isn't upset at Andy while making her choice, content to enter a tournament with both her and him in it once more.

After Ash Crimson erased himself and Saiki from history, all memories of him were erased from all who knew him, including Mai. In the Women Fighters Team ending, she is one of the many ladies who fight in the Pao Pao Cafe (much to Richard's dismay).

Shun'ei Saga

Prior to the fourteenth tournament, Mai meets King at Illusion, who once AGAIN was unable to make a team with Andy. King decided to join with Mai, but had to find a third member, as Yuri was teaming up with Ryo and Robert, Blue Mary and Vanessa was unavailable, and Kasumi and Hinako was ignored due to her desire to team up with Andy. Running out of time to regester, a girl named Alice spoke up and asked to join the Women's Team. King has heard of Alice, as a new up-and-coming fighter from South Town. Mai agrees with her joining, if Alice lands a single hit on her. While she was unable to hit her for most of the fight, she got lucky with a Diving Tackle, while dodging her Ryuuenbu. Impressed, Mai and King accepted Alice as the new member of the Women's Fighting Team, born with a passion for defeating Terry, Joe, and Ryo

At some point during the tournament, she ran into Andy, once again angry at him not joining her. She also meets the very eccentric ninja Bandeiras

After the tournament's climax, the heroines all enjoying a meal together.

The King of Fighters XV Mai teams up with Yuri and Athena Asamiya to form the Super Heroines Team.
