OVA
Description
Maya Jingu is a main character in the anime Burn Up W and a member of the special police unit known as Team Warrior. Born on November 29, she is in her early twenties and has distinctive short green hair and pink eyes. Her background sets her apart from her teammates: she comes from a family that runs a criminal syndicate in Osaka, making her the black sheep for choosing to become a police officer in Tokyo instead of following the family business.
Maya’s personality is defined by an intense passion for firearms. She loves guns of all kinds, from handguns and sniper rifles to heavy weaponry, and her primary motivation for joining Team Warrior was the opportunity to shoot at criminals. She is consistently described as trigger-happy, often growing impatient when missions require waiting or when she does not get enough chances to fire her weapons. This frustration can lead her to threaten quitting the police force to become a mercenary, though she remains loyal to the team. Her enthusiasm for combat is matched by her skill: she serves as Team Warrior’s lead sniper and primary weapons expert, able to handle any firearm with precision.
In the story, Maya is a core field operative. She frequently partners with her teammate Rio on missions, providing cover fire and tactical support. Her role often involves taking out key targets or providing heavy firepower when the team faces heavily armed opponents. Notable abilities include her marksmanship and her familiarity with a wide range of weapon systems; during one mission she uses a custom gun that is lighter yet more powerful than a tank cannon. Her expertise makes her an essential asset in the team’s reckless, high-destructive approach to law enforcement.
Maya’s key relationships center on her teammates. She works closely with Rio, the team’s loose-cannon brawler, and the hacker Lilica, forming a trio that gets jobs done despite frequent collateral damage. Her dynamic with Rio is one of mutual reliance in combat, though Maya’s single-minded focus on shooting sometimes contrasts with Rio’s more impulsive physical style. There is little personal development shown in the OVA itself, but her background as the daughter of crime bosses adds a layer of complexity: her choice to become a cop highlights a desire to break away from her family’s criminal legacy, even if her methods remain chaotic. Overall, Maya is a highly capable, gun-obsessed officer whose love for firepower drives both her effectiveness and her comedic frustrations.
