Mai Tanaka is a supporting character in Princession Orchestra. She is a student and classmate of Nagase Ichijo, one of the main characters. Known as a dancing master, Mai is recognized for her exceptional skill in dance, which has captivated audiences.

In terms of personality, Mai is portrayed as a thoughtful individual who has recently been feeling worried. While she possesses great talent as a dancer, she is modest about her abilities, readily admitting that her singing is not as strong. Her character data indicates that she has type A blood, her special skill is her flexibility, her favorite food is oshiruko, and her hobby is creative dance.

The central relationship in Mai’s life is with her classmate, Nagase. The two share a mutual admiration. While Nagase adores Mai’s dancing skills, Mai, in turn, looks up to Nagase. However, this admiration is mixed with a sense of envy, as Mai admits to feeling envious of the way Nagase shines and captivates an audience while performing. This feeling of being overshadowed by Nagase’s natural brilliance is a key source of her internal worry.

Mai’s role in the story becomes prominent when trouble befalls her, a crisis that is directly related to her connection with Nagase. Her situation serves as a major catalyst for an episode, forcing the central characters to confront a problem stemming from the complex feelings between the two friends. Her primary ability is her mastery of dance, a skill she has honed to a professional degree, though her character arc is defined more by her personal insecurities and her admiration for Nagase than by any supernatural powers.
