A scared Mami.
Despite being almost an adult, she has a childlike personality, and easily gets scared, especially of ghosts. She is also trusting of children and is skilled with taking care of them. She is however forgetful, having forgotten that the "ghost" she saw also came with "will-o'-the-wisps". She is quite athletic, running around town with the [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys") to find the supposed ghost. She is overall a curious and adventurous person.

## Plot overview[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mami_Mamiya&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Plot overview")]
### It's a Ghost! (Anime: (/wiki/It%27s_a_Ghost! "It's a Ghost!"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mami_Mamiya&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: It's a Ghost! (Anime: 1173)")]
As part of her part-time job, she started to take care of [Motoko Kanazawa](/wiki/index.php?title=Motoko_Kanazawa&action=edit&redlink=1 "Motoko Kanazawa (page does not exist)"), a 75-year-old retiree living in a spacious two-story house. While going to the second floor of the house on Thursday nights, she started a white figure on the rooftop of a commercial building and seeing that the figure suddenly disappeared, she assumed it was a ghost. However, Kanazawa did not believe her and thought she was being childish. She thus sought out the help of the Detective Boys, who she met at the park.
She brings the kids with her on the second floor on the next Thursday, and all of them (Mitsuhiko, [Ayumi](/wiki/Ayumi "Ayumi"), Genta and Mami) see the supposed ghost. The next day, she treats the Detective Boys to dinner at the nearby Italian restaurant, "TOMO", located on the first floor of the building where the "ghost" appeared. This time, [Conan](/wiki/Conan "Conan") and [Haibara](/wiki/Haibara "Haibara") join the team. After thorough investigation, the Detective Boys figure out the truth and realize the ghost is none other than the restaurant chef, Tomoharu Kanazawa, who opened his restaurant close by to check on his elderly mother. After noticing that Mami started appearing on the second floor instead of his mother, a concerned Kanazawa started making phone calls without speaking and checking on his mother, making the impression that a ghost was lurking around. At the end of the case, the Detective Boys and Mami enjoy a meal at "TOMO" and see that Motoko decided to start working again to help her son.
