Her father, Mr. Shiranui, was the son of Hanzo and Grandma Shiranui, and her mother, Mrs. Shiranui, was a shoemaker and had a resemblance to her daughter. When Mai was 2 years old, her dying beloved mother gave Mai a handkerchief with urine and ordered her to escape. Mai agreed and ran out. A 6-year-old girl named Panni saved Mai's house by putting out a fire with her water powers, even though Mai's parents died. Panni then took her to meet Hanzo and Grandma Shiranui and left her there.

===Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture===
Mai is first seen eating chips when she is watching Joe get ready for the tournament. She is next to Andy. When Joe is blocking Hwa Jai's punches, Mai calls out to him to hit him back and asks Andy if he doesn't think it's because of Joe's injuries. Andy states that he is just warming up. When Joe wins the tournament, everyone, including Mai, cheers for him. In the reception room, Mai gives Andy a blue necklace which Andy, at first, resists at this moment, but decides to let her put the necklace on. Joe calls out to them, telling them that the reception is his and that next time, they will have a wedding reception. Mai says:
as she elbow-punches Joe's stomach, and Joe opens his fan. Andy thinks about where Terry is. Joe answers that Terry has called from the airport and said he is running a little late. Andy wonders why Terry didn't call him and doesn't know he is in Japan yet. He states that he won't mind picking him up.
At the party, Mai, Andy, and Joe talk to Kim Kaphwan, who tells them to see if he wants to see if Joe is fine. Terry arrives at the party and Kim tells him that he trains hard since they last met. Kim introduces his family to Mai and the others when suddenly, Cyber Cheng crashes the party and starts hurting Kim, shocking Mai and Joe. Until Kim gets revenge on Cyber Cheng by defeating him with Hou'Ou Kyaku. Everyone cheers for him. Later, Mai agrees to help a young girl named Sulia since she pleads with Terry to help her.
The journey starts on a plane to Rhodes Island. Mai hears the story of Alexander the Great's life and how he struck a truce with Gaudeamus. Mai, along with Andy and Joe, finds Terry and Sulia trapped in a dark place and they arrive near a waterfall. While entering a secret room filled with paintings, Sulia tells them that the fourth and fifth pieces were in Antakya, Turkey, and Baghdad, Iraq, respectively. When Andy decides to split into two groups, Terry tells Andy and Mai to go to Baghdad, while he, Joe, and Sulia take Antakya. Mai agrees.
In Baghdad, Iraq, in a nearby hotel, Mai takes a shower, when she thinks that she has never slept in the same room with a boy since elementary school. Meanwhile, in a bedroom, Andy waits for Mai when she arrives in a purple bathing robe with light purple lines, with cats all over her robe since she loves cats when she was little. She asks what he is doing, and he answers that he is thinking they can't sleep in the same bed. Mai reassures him, saying that nothing likes her what's she is asleep. She tries to sleep, but is unable. She watches as Andy does push-ups. Andy tells Mai that he will work out a bit, then he will crash on the couch, and warns her not to wait up until he finishes. Mai agrees and wishes him a good night. Andy sighs in relief and continues to do push-ups while Mai is asleep during the night.
In a museum, she shows Andy the box, and he wonders why Laocorn could be here until Joe arrives. Andy, Joe, and Mai sit by a fountain, talking about the Armor of Mars, Tung Fu Rue, and Jubei Yamada. Mai proceeds to call Jubei, while Joe talks with Andy about sleeping in the same room with Mai. After hearing about Jubei's disappearance, Andy knows how Laocorn could have done that fast.
Arriving at the King of Dancing nightclub, Mai sees the nightclub "cool", while Andy wonders why Master Jubei has asked them to come there. Mai exclaims that she is on fire before going to Andy to ask him for a dance. Andy mishears her and asks her if they should split up and look around, not before a bartender named Richard Meyer appears to greet Andy. Mai performs in front of everyone, with fans starting to like her. Suddenly, her performance is interrupted when Hauer appears to meet her. She tells him that he is not as cute as Andy, prompting Hauer to tell him that the next time they meet, they will see who is the stronger, and the most beautiful before disappearing.
The next morning, while waiting for Andy, Mai's outfit is ripped by one of Hauer's wind razors and transforms to reveal her identity in front of him. After a battle, Mai is held hostage by Hauer after a second-round defeat. Andy is extremely worried about Mai being in danger, so he decides to listen to what Hauer says in exchange for saving Mai's life. After Andy is sent backward, Mai tries to run to reach him, but Hauer grabs her and taunts Andy before kissing her, enraging Andy. Andy is furious at Hauer's feelings towards Mai and yells at him to stop, but is beaten, shocking Mai. She looks at an injured Andy and flicks his hair.
Mai and a now-recovered Andy are in a secret room again with the group, discussing the final piece not being revealed until Joe accidentally presses a button, which reveals a light on the wall. Sulia inserts her pendant into a light, and it shows that the final and sixth piece is in the Dead Sea in Israel.
In an apartment, Mai and Sulia sit by the pool and talk about relationships, particularly Mai and Andy's and Sulia and Terry's, and Mai explains to Sulia what happened with Lily. After they were about to go to bed, Panni appears behind them and is about to attack them, when Mai pushes Sulia and throws Panni from the fence and through the outdoors, making Panni sit like a cat. Hauer and Jamin appear in front of Mai with Terry and Joe unconscious. Mai agrees to give Sulia to Laocorn in exchange for her freedom.
After Jamin disappears with Sulia, Mai is choked harder from behind by Panni, who calls her a "pretty, pretty ninja girl". Hauer is ready to prepare his power when Andy stops Hauer and Panni from hurting Mai. She flips Panni and collapses to her knees, coughing, thinking that Panni has choked her to death.
Seeing that Andy is in danger after he is about to get killed by Panni, Mai uses Kacho-sen to protect Andy and strike Panni hard in the back. She then uses Chou Hissatsu Shinobi-Bachi to kill Panni. Andy wonders if Mai is the one who rescued him from being killed by an enemy. After Panni's death caused by Mai, Hauer also gets killed by Andy. Mai asks him if he is dead, to which Andy apologizes for being late. Mai tries to apologize, but is wrapped in the arms by Andy, who warns her not to say anything. Mai starts to love him more, and both begin their sex by sharing a kiss.
While heading to the temple, Mai fights the goon monsters summoned by Laocorn, and Andy saves her by defeating one. She, along with Andy and Joe, fights God Laocorn, but is no match for him. After Terry is recovered, Mai is told by Terry to take Sulia and get out of there. Mai reluctantly agrees. Mai reassures Sulia that she will believe in Terry before going to fight God Laocorn. Andy saves Mai before she could hit the pillar, and she tells him that she and Andy are a team and warns him not to get killed on her before pretending to be dead. Andy agrees to listen to Mai.
After God Laocorn transforms back into himself, Mai, recovered, walks towards Terry. Thanking each member of the team before dying, Sulia tells Mai (who almost cries) not to be so hard on Andy. She watches Terry kiss Sulia before her tragic death. When Mars awakens, Andy wonders if this is the true God of War, while Laocorn wonders if Gaudeamus is using him all along, using him to collect the armor. Mai is almost struck to disintegration by Mars, while Andy decides to protect her, but Laocorn jumps in front of them, taking the blast. Terry uses Sulia's strength to defeat Mars and ends its territory once and for all.
After Mars is defeated, peace was restored. Mai asks if it's all over, to which Andy replies it is. They manage to return home, ending the film.
