Mai Minakami

Mai Minakami is one of the main characters from the Nichijou series.
== Charactah Account ==
Mai Minakami is a rather quiet girl who is also very intelligent. She is seen to be multi-talented, excelling at using projectiles, fishing, wood carving, arm wrestling, modeling and especially pranking.
Mai is expressionless at almost all times, with rare appearances of smile, anger or regret on her face. Her deadpan humor leads other people to wonder what is going on in her head. Mai behaves randomly at times, which confuses her friends. She likes Maitreya statues and, sometimes seen carving them.
Mai uses a wide variety of jokes, which can vary from puns or practical jokes to the usage of rather complex props or borderline bullying. Despite that, she seems to care about her friends, as shown when she smiled after a heated argument between Yuuko and Mio ended with a handshake and a hug. On the other hand, Mai has a habit of often ignoring her friends or leaving them altogether to do other things. She will also never play pranks on children intentionally, including Hakase.

== Trivia ==
* Mai originally appeared as a nameless character with her dogs in the manga Helvetica Standard.
* Mai has two dogs. Pyon, a small white dog, and Oguri, a brown and white dog. She also owns a cat named Chitchi.
* When playing the Stair Climbing Game with Mio and Yuuko in episode 2, Mai (incorrectly) recites the Incantation of Resurrection (i.e. password) from the video game Dragon Quest - "chi yo ta ni ke ra ha to ho ra su te no ha te ki﻿ ra to na ri ha shi te to".
* Mai somehow understands Yuuko's selamat pagi greeting, which means good morning in both Indonesian and Malay, although she (purposely?) responded incorrectly with selamat malam, which means good night.
* On Kumomadori Radio, in response to a chat question, Arawi Keiichi originally stated Mai's birthday to be February 17. However, in chapter 211 of the manga (written many years later), Mai's birthday was revealed to be October 24.
