In some missions, she is seen with a group of Earth Art ninjas.
She is in the same class as Yukikaze Mizuki, is the class representative, is well liked, and often keeps the peace in the class.
Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena[]
In the first, Mari is seen in two of her events, one of which is unintentionally affected by Tia's magic. Her Mari had lost her own powers and control of her mind and therefore had built her cave system. She is cured by Tia and Kotaro, and the three go their separate ways for a while.
In the canon event, Mari can be seen in Yomihara. She encounters a fake Yukikaze (Kotaro Fuuma) who was originally targeting Tia. When Mari realizes that this Yukikaze is a fake, she launches her attack and chases him inside a large tunnel system. Kotaro initially runs away with Tia, but is able to touch Mari and steal her powers, and she becomes one of his captives.
Mari later joins the Fuuma Organization after being destroyed by him, but an additional "what if" could also hint at her being released. Mari later reappears in the attack on the Palace of Darkness in 2086, where she was originally to help Kotaro, but she was brainwashed by Edwin Black and needed to be knocked out.
Taimanin RPGX[]
She admires Kotaro Fuuma and wants to join his Independent Rangers in 2082.
Her first appearance was a bit part in The Christmas Grudge, in which she wears bold costumes and works extra hours to earn money.
As part of a solo mission in 2083, she is rescued by the Book Demon and becomes his friend. Mari stops the arriving rogue Taimanin, Kurenai Shinganji, and convinces her not to attack the grimoire-born demon who has the power to grant her wishes. The devil, who was about to die a natural death, wanted to see the world and the party, seeking his wish. Mari urges Kurenai to support him, and the two go to a dark city bar filled with orcs to party. The demon took over Mari's body while in hiding while the others searched for a final wish from him. They encountered several dangers outside, including Li Mayfeng, who tried to defeat the two Taimanin, but both were able to escape. This last night came to an end not long after the book demon acted strangely and refused to leave Mari's body. She is forced to leave, and a battle breaks out between Mari and the Book Demon. It was all just a trick, the demon wanted to fulfill Mari's secret wish to join the Rangers, so he played evil to gain her trust and confidence to join. Although her plan was revealed and the book demon disappeared normally, Mari still had confidence and she was able to later join the Rangers, and she also gained a small amulet monument.
Mari appears in the Paper Demon event in 2084 with Mai Nanase. She appears again as a minor character in 2084's Scientist Incident.
