Description
Mai Fuyuki is the mother of the protagonist Minami Fuyuki in the anime Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!. Born on August 16, 1987, she is 36 years old and became a mother at the age of 20 when she had her eldest daughter, Minami. She lives with her husband and her two daughters, Minami and Momoko Fuyuki. At a height of 162 cm, Mai is known for her very youthful appearance, which often leads people to mistake her for Minami’s older sister rather than her mother. She has flashy, bright orange long hair and a curvy figure that is even more pronounced than her daughter's.

Mai has a cheerful, lively, and fun-loving personality that aligns with the gal subculture. Her personal motto is that her heart stays in her teenage years, and she consistently acts younger than her age. She speaks with a strong Hokkaido dialect and uses playful nicknames for people close to her, calling Minami "Mii," Tsubasa Shiki "Tsuba-chi," and Rena Natsukawa "Rena-chima". Her way of speaking and behaving is very similar to her daughter Minami's, though she is even more easygoing and lighthearted.

Within the story, Mai serves as a supportive and understanding parent. She does not pressure her daughters excessively about their studies, believing that forcing them to learn is not effective and that happiness helps them grow. Instead, she encourages Minami to spend time with her friends and supports her personal development. She is generous and known to treat her daughters and their friends, such as taking them out for barbeque when she earns extra money from selling items online.

Mai quickly forms close bonds with Minami's friends. She takes a particular liking to the male lead, Tsubasa Shiki, because his personality reminds her of her own husband. From their first meeting, where Tsubasa initially mistakes her for Minami's older sister, Mai approves of him and supports her daughter's romantic interest in him. She often teases both Minami and Tsubasa about being a couple and does what she can to help them, such as giving Tsubasa a ride to school during a blizzard or driving him home late at night. During one ride, she thanked Tsubasa for helping Minami have a happy Valentine's Day after she had been worried about her daughter. Mai is observant of her daughter's growth and notes that Minami is maturing faster after she starts spending more time with Tsubasa.

Notable abilities of Mai Fuyuki are primarily social and domestic. She works as a department store employee and enjoys shopping and cooking. Her most defining ability is her naturally youthful looks and energetic spirit, which allow her to connect with her daughters and their friends on their level. She is also a capable driver, often ferrying the children around, especially in poor weather conditions. Mai is a caring and supportive presence who values family, friendship, and maintaining a joyful, lighthearted perspective on life.
