Personality
The president of a production company, Maiko is a mother figure to the Mirage Masters. Maiko is sharp and has quick wits, and cares about her production company comrades more than anyone.

Profile
Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE
Maiko is the president of the production company Fortuna Entertainment that recruits Mirage Masters. Years ago, she worked with cameraman and friend Nobu Horinozawa to create model portfolios called My Complex 1, 2, and 3, though the third volume was never published.
In Chapter 2: Head over Heels for Her, she would try to talk some sense into her kidnapper Nobu Horinozawa who was brainwashed by a Mirage. She ends up unconscious as he takes pictures of her. In the North American version, she is instead controlled by him and forced to pose. After the party defeats Nobu's Mirage partner, Gangrel, and frees Nobu from his control, she regains control again and rejoins the others.
Side Quests
In Maiko's first side quest: "Booze and the Boss," she has a bad hangover from drinking too much alcohol, so she requests Itsuki to ask Tiki to make her a special medicine to get rid of her hangover. After Itsuki gathers all the ingredients from Illusory Daitama and has Tiki make Maiko's special medicine, Maiko recovers from her hangover thanks to the medicine given by Itsuki and grants a new back-up skill.
