BIO:

Mai Shiranui is the granddaughter of Hanzo Shiranui, a master of ninjitsu and Koppo-ken. Mai learned the secrets of Ninjitsu from her father and from her grandfather's old friend, Jubei Yamada. Mai met Andy Bogard when he moved to Japan to further his training. At first, Mai wasn't interested in Andy and thought he was just another callous man only interested in his training. However, when Andy gave her a present on her birthday, she eventually fell in love with him. After they were in a serious relationship, Mai spent much of her time pursuing Andy and fantasizing various daydreams about their wedding. On a side note, the contrastingly ugly Gen-An is rumored to be her late ancestor.

For many years, Mai pressured Andy to enter and form a team with her in The King of Fighters tournament. However, Andy usually chose to join a separate team. Mai, upset with Andy, decided to form the Women Team with Yuri and King. Her teammates changed throughout the years, but she wanted to prove to Andy that he was wrong for not joining her team. In King of Fighters 99, she finally convinced Andy to join her team. However, in the following tournament was asked to sit out so that Blue Mary investigate a case. During King of Fighters XIII, Mai felt that a KOF tournament isn't complete without her, and decided to join with her original KOF teammates.

Mai is SNK's original hot babe with big boobs, which has obviously been her "main draw" as a character design for many years. On that note, she was one of the first (if not the first) fighting game females to have noticeably bouncy boobs (and ass). lol. Mai's fighting style has its cool moments, but isn't one of the most exciting or interesting styles of the FF or KOF series, in my opinion. Her outfit has been consistently sexy over the years, but is also somewhat generic. I personally think Mai's best appearance was in Capcom VS SNK; her 2D sprite looked really good in that game. She's definitely pleasing to the eyes, but she should leave the whole "ninja" thing to the real ninjas if you ask me. Haha. Sorry Mai, but it takes a little more than a hot bod to impress me. Anyhow, I'm definitely looking forward to trying her out in KOF 13... her new 2D sprite is smokin' hot! Best 2D boob jiggle ever? I think so. <3
