Mayu Tanaka

'''
Mayu Tanaka (田中 真由 Tanaka Mayu) was the daughter of Kai Midō, the wife of Tsutomu Tanaka and the mother of their unborn son Satoshi Tanaka.

Mayu was considered a very attractive woman by Tsutomu Tanaka. From the back of her head, she had dark hair in two tied up Chinese buns and was seen wearing a karate dougi.
==Personality==
Not much was known of her personality, but she appears to be a kind and polite person, but can be a little bossy. Tanaka claims he's "whipped" by her, indicating she was the dominant one in the relationship. Regardless, it's proven she loves her husband very much.
Mayu clearly showed a strong devotion and love towards her father, which seemed to be her downfall, as after seeing Kensei murder him, she flew into rage and attempted to avenge him. This reveals that a degree of immaturity at allowing her emotions to get the better of her and attempt challenge someone she had no hope of defeating in battle.

Mayu clearly showed a strong devotion and love towards her father, which seemed to be her downfall, as after seeing Ogata murder him, she flew into rage and attempted to avenge him.
This sadly also reveals that she had a reckless side to her, both in challenging a vastly superior opponent she likely had no chance against, and putting her then unborn child at risk. 
==Skills==
Mayu was an extremely gifted individual as even the Elder said she was fairly talented to be a young master in martial arts. Her progress has unfortunately stopped when she died trying to avenge her father.
It's important to note while she had the skill and talent to be considered a master, she still lacked the maturity of one. This is seen in how she allowed her anger to cloud her judgment and foolishly attempt to kill Ogata, an extremely lethal Grand Master who has succeed in killing Mayu's own master, thus it was highly unlikely she could defeat him. 
==Yami/YOMI Saga==
===Titan Arc===
In the middle of Tanaka's battle with Kensei, Tanaka's cell phone rings and he tells his wife on the other end that their trip to the park with their son will be delayed while he deals with some 'personal business.' Kensei kicks the phone out of his hand before he can hang up and the cellphone lands near Kenichi. Kenichi picks it up and tries to tell Mayu that the park is too dangerous, however, he is shocked and confused when he hears not a woman's voice on the other end of the line, but instead a recorded message for an auto-dialing service. It is revealed by Kensei that she and her child are and always have been dead, and that the person calling Tanaka all this time was just a auto-dialing service to make others believe she was alive.
==Battle Log==
*vs Isshinsai Ogata (loss, was killed)
== Etymology ==
* The name Mayu means "real, genuine" (真) (ma) and "reason, case, cause" (由) (yu). 
* Mayu's surname Tanaka means "field, rice paddy" (田) (ta) and "middle" (中) (naka), which literally means "dweller in the rice fields" altogether.
== Trivia ==
*It appears that Mayu's death left Tsutomu Tanaka to be a very emotionally shattered man, seemingly in constant denial over it by setting his phone with a constant auto-dial service to pretend she is alive, which may also have been a means to keep him from losing his sanity and copping with her death.
*It is implied Isshinsai Ogata regrets having killed her after discovering of her pregnancy at the time, but only for killing the unborn child, saying that she chose her path but the child had not.
*Mayu is the youngest Master Class to have been known as well as the youngest to have died.
