Gender: AFAB, She/Her Ultimate Photographer After Mahiru won numerous photography awards while attending Light Forest Institute, Hope's Peak scouted and enrolled her in Class 77-B as the Ultimate Photographer. Mahiru was one of the few students in her class who regularly attended, despite attendance not being mandatory for Ultimates. At the time, she had already formed a close friendship with Hiyoko Saionji, the Ultimate Traditional Dancer. She then helped her homeroom teacher, Chisa Yukizome, to bring her classmates together so they could build strong relationships, and "hope" among each other while further honing their talents. In addition to Hiyoko, Mahiru got along well with her eccentric classmates, particularly Mikan Tsumiki, the Ultimate Nurse, and Ibuki Mioda, the Ultimate Musician. She later introduced these three to Sato. She also admired Chisa, who was very kind to her and even took note of her friendship with Sato, though Mahiru thought of her as an oddball from time to time. It was mentioned that Mahiru had a large circle of friends even beyond Class 77-B, thanks to her reliable and caring nature.
