Game Appearances
THE iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars
Mai is the mother of Ai Hidaka. She is 29 years old, which means that she became a mother at the age of 16. She was once a legendary S Rank super idol who won the Ultimate Idol, though was only active for 3 years before retiring. One of her image songs, "ALIVE" was extremely popular, which she later allowed her daughter Ai to use when she became an idol. Later in Ai's story, she comes out of retirement with Manami Okamoto as her manager who she met by chance in a restaurant.
THE iDOLM@STER Arcade
In 2010, when the arcade game was revealed to be taken offline, a promotional event started where she and several other characters were added to the game as rival NPC's. Because she had no character model, she was represented by a unit comprised of 765PRO idols.
THE iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL
Mai appears as a rival in the S1 Rank Up Festival, where she displays her skill, ちょくげき重戦車！(Heavy Tank Direct Hit!), which multiplies her appeal score by 10 during her rival burst. She appears in name only, as she does not have a character model, an image song, or an in-game voice. Mai's position as the arguably toughest character in-game refutes her position in Dearly Stars.
