Maya Mikuri is a central character in the anime ID-0. She is a student at the Planetary Alliance Academy, specializing in astrogeology under the instruction of Professor Attomy Kinsberg and Romanov. While participating in a mining operation on a remote asteroid using an I-Machine, a giant robot controlled by transferring her consciousness, an explosion occurs and she is abandoned by her superiors. Her I-Machine is rescued by the Excavate Company, a crew of Orichalt miners who operate semi-legally. After her physical body is recovered, she agrees to work with the Excavate Company to repay them for saving her and to clear her name after being falsely accused of leaking classified information. Maya is described as keen and sharp-witted, yet somewhat timid and inclined to let events unfold around her rather than taking assertive action. She has short light brown hair and bright green eyes. Her astrogeology expertise proves valuable to the crew, helping them locate and extract Orichalt deposits. She develops a key relationship with Ido, a mysterious Evertrancer whose consciousness is permanently housed in an I-Machine with no memory of his human past. During a dangerous mission on a planet surrounded by a Miguel Storm, Maya downloads her memory archives into Ido to allow them to operate in a joined mode, successfully extracting a core that contains a young girl named Alice. As the story progresses, Maya learns about the illegal and unethical nature of Evertrancers, the government's secrets regarding Orichalt, and the destructive forces it can unleash. She becomes a full-fledged fugitive after aiding the Excavate Company in escaping from the United Planets Force. Throughout the series, Maya transitions from a naive student to a capable and resourceful crew member, using her knowledge and quick thinking to navigate perilous situations. Her notable abilities include astrogeological analysis, I-Machine operation, and the capacity to merge her consciousness with another user's I-Machine.
