Mai Shiranui, also known as The Alluring Ninja Girl, is the granddaughter of Hanzo Shiranui, the heiress of the Shiranui clan and a skilled ninja. She always received excessive attention from men but ignored them, seeking the favor of Andy Boggart. Andy, who initially ignored her interest and treated Mai more like a little sister, eventually accepted her love despite his introverted nature and focus on combat training.
Mai is a founding member of the Women Fighters Team and also maintains a respectful relationship with Terry Boggart, Andy's older brother, and Joe Higashi, despite finding his habits silly.
Mai personifies the ability to keep herself and maintain her beauty, familiar to the Japanese mentality, despite a slightly frivolous temperament. She is also proud of her training as a fighter and is happy to share this knowledge with her teammates.
Mai fights with Shiranui-Ryuu ninjutsu, throwing paper fans and fire powers. These skills allow her to control the battlefield at medium and close ranges, easily breaking through defenses and using various throws when approaching the enemy, turning any encounter into a calculated dance.
Mai knows how to present herself and attracts public attention with her grooming and love for light kunoichi outfits. Despite seemingly impractical clothes at first glance, the girl uses this advantage to be more maneuverable than any of her opponents and calculate their movements in advance.
