Mai is a recurring character in the Dragon Ball series, originally introduced as one of Emperor Pilaf’s loyal henchmen. She is a skilled, cool-headed operative who often works alongside Shu in carrying out Pilaf’s schemes, though their plans usually fail. In later Dragon Ball stories, Mai is reimagined as a younger version of herself, becoming an important supporting character connected to future timelines and Trunks. She serves as both a comedic figure and a more serious ally in key arcs.
