Mayu Watanabe Type 3, also known as Mayu Watanabe, Mayu Watanabe CG-3, Android MAYUYU Code-CG-3 and Mayuyu, is a character from the AKB0048 series.
== Charactah Account ==
The cyborg idol. Mayuyu is unique among the Successors for two reasons: She's a cyborg with a rocket launcher in her arm, and she has a stage persona that is noticeably different from her normal self. While in front of an audience she has a big smile and talks with a cutesy voice, she drops all that when just with the other idols.
Mayuyu acts cute in front of the crowds, giving the impression of an energetic and bubbly personality. In truth, she's a relatively emotionless girl, speaking in a monotone voice and has little social contact with the others. However, her emotions are extremely difficult to predict as she has a poker face personality. If there's no more food, she'll threaten Chef Papa until he gets her more food. Whilst it is never explicitly stated, she's heavily hinted to be a cyborg or even an android as she is the only one classified as MK3 Mayuyu .

== Trivia ==
* Mayuyu is based on current AKB48 member Mayu Watanabe. In addition to serving as the inspiration for this character, Mayu is also the voice of Chieri Sono, making her the only member of AKB48 to voice a character in the series and have a character based on them.
* Mayuyu is the 3rd person to hold that name in AKB0048, although her title is Mayu Watanabe MKIII/Type 3
** This is because Mayuyu is more likely an android. In the drama CD contained along with opening and ending song single, she pointed that she was 'made' for the sake of Mayuyu position.
** The real life Mayuyu holds the nickname "Idol Cyborg" / "Cyborg Girl" (CG) because of her expressions, and she is really good at hiding her emotions.
* In Episode 17, she ranked 5th at the General Elections, but was previously ranked 4th in the early rankings.
* Mayuyu is always seen accompanied by Yuki Kashiwagi. The real life Mayu was always accompanied by the real life Yuki as well.
* Both Mayuyu and Chieri own stuffed alpacas, again pointing out the fact that the real Mayu Watanabe voices Chieri.  
* Her missile-arm may be a reference to an episode of AKBingo where Mayu lost a dodgeball game and as punishment, had her arm "cut off" in a prank.
* Mayuyu probably has been a successor for a very long time, as she can be seen on the same stage as Acchan, and is only the third successor of the original Mayuyu.
* In one of the audio dramas, Suzuko Kanzaki show images of MK3, as well as MK2 to the other members of NO NAME, and it's stated that they are identical.
