Mai Takatsukasa

Mai Takatsukasa (高司 舞) is an aspiring pro dancer and a childhood friend of Kouta.

Biography
Before the Yggdrasill Corporation took over Zawame, Mai was the daughter of the priest of the great tree, performing ceremonial dances as a child. After Yggdrasill took over Zawame, Mai decided to join with friends and continued dancing with Team Gaim. She takes care of all of the members of Team Gaim. Though she is particularly hard on Kouta, it is because she is secretly in love with him. She later gains a fangirlish adoration for Oren Pierre Alfonzo, despite the fact that he had caused mass mayhem during his bout with Team Gaim's Armored Riders. During the events of an all team dance-off, she finds herself running into the Helheim Forest and eventually the Sengoku Period World. However, she is confused for as the Priestess of Fate (運命の巫女) by the Nephenthes Inhumanoid. Later She also meets the ToQgers as her new friends (especially Mio &amp; Kagura). In addition, she meets the mysterious girl who resembles her while she and Kaito went to the place where the shrine is, then Kaito leaves. Mai also later confronts Kouta, comforting him and tells him that he doesn't need to burden himself and that he can share the burden with her.

Portrayal
Mai Takatsukasa is portrayed by Yuumi Shida (志田 友美), who also plays the Mysterious Girl. As a child, Mai is portrayed by Shiori Saeki (佐伯 栞).
