Mai Shiranui (不知火 舞, Shiranui Mai)

Is a player character in both of the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series of fighting games. Mai Shiranui is the granddaughter of Hanzo Shiranui, the now-deceased master of ninjitsu, and an art of Shiranui-ryū ninja hand-to-hand combat, called koppo-ken. In her mind, Andy Bogard, who studied Shiranui ninjutsu with her grandfather since their early teens, is her fiancé; the relationship between the two is often ambiguous (usually on the part of Andy, who at times seems to suppress his feelings for her in favor of treating her like a little sister). Mai has also studied at her grandfather's friend, the judo master Jubei Yamada. She uses a closed fan while fighting and is able to create and control fire ("Shiranui" is the Japanese name for will-o'-the-wisp).

The King of Fighters (ザ·キング·オブ·ファイターズ, Za Kingu obu Faitāzu)

Officially abbreviated KOF, is a series of fighting games by SNK Playmore (formerly SNK). The series was originally developed for SNK's Neo Geo MVS arcade hardware, which served as the main platform for the series until 2004, when SNK retired the MVS in favor of the Atomiswave arcade board. Only two King of Fighters games were made on the Atomiswave platform (The King of Fighters Neowave, and The King of Fighters XI), before SNK decided to discontinue using the platform for the series.
