In "Chapter 2: Head over Heels for Her," she would try to talk some sense into her kidnapper Nobu Horinozawa who was brainwashed by a Mirage. She ends up unconscious as he takes pictures of her. In the North American version, she is instead controlled by him and forced to pose. After the party defeats Nobu's Mirage partner, Gangrel, and frees Nobu from his control, she regains control again and rejoins the others.

In Maiko's first side quest: "Booze and the Boss," she has a bad hangover from drinking too much alcohol during some meetings with the big wigs, so she requests Itsuki to ask Tiki to make her a special medicine to get rid of her hangover. After Itsuki gathers all the ingredients from Illusory Daitama and has Tiki make Maiko's special medicine, Maiko recovers from her hangover thanks to the medicine given by Itsuki and grants a new back-up skill.

==Etymology==
The characters in her given name "Maiko" mean "dance child."
==Trivia==
*Maiko is the only major character whose age is not revealed. This may have to do with the sexist Japanese metaphor where women lose their chances for marriage after 25 years of age, as traditionally Japanese women marry early.
*In the original Japanese Wii U version, Maiko's former career was as a gravure idol: in this role, her idol roles would have featured sexually suggestive elements aimed at a male audience. In the English and Switch versions, all references to gravure modeling were removed, with Maiko's former career being as a normal model.
