Mai Shiranui is a busty female character of The King of Fighters series. Though she's a strong fighter using fans and fire attacks, she's more famous for her large breasts and flirty nature.

She is 21 years old officially.

Series AppearancesEdit

Mai has appeared in the following King Of Fighters games :

KOF 94, KOF 95, KOF 96, KOF 97, KOF 98, KOF 99, KOF 00, KOF 01, KOF 02, KOF 03, KOF XI (console version only), KOF XIII.

Mai is one of the series' most popular female characters (mainly due to her skimpy costume and large breasts). There was internet backlash due to the fact that she only appeared in the PS2 version of KOF XI, and the fact that she did not appear in KOF XII at all. Some people even went on to say that they refused to buy KOF XII, purely because the busty Mai wasn't in it. To combat this, SNK Playmore revealed that the big-breasted ninja girl was one of the first new characters to appear in KOF XIII. She was announced alongside Yuri Sakazaki and King - thus remaking the Women's Team from KOF 94.
