Mayu Inamori (稲森 真由, Inamori Mayu) is Misa Inamori's twin sister who transforms into the orange-colored Kamen Rider Mage (仮面ライダーメイジ, Kamen Raidā Meiji).
History[]
Background[]
Mayu Inamori is the second child of her parents, and had a twin sister Misa Inamori. When Mayu was in high school, she wanted to study abroad. When she was hesitant, Misa gave her a keychain with patterns imitating the appearance of her whole family, and encouraging her by telling her that the family is always together.
Mayu then went abroad to study until she learned that her family had all listed as missing person. She returned to Japan and continued her studies at Ryosen Academy High School.
Targeted by Medusa[]
Later, Mayu met Kosuke Nito, who initially thought Mayu was Medusa disguised as a high school girl, which attracted the attention of Haruto Soma and his allies. Haruto and Shunpei Nara who sneaked into Ryosen Academy High School also found that one of Mayu's friends, Takako, was a Gate, and they happened to confront Medusa who came to hunt Takako, and resolved the misunderstanding. But it made Mayu feel lucky that her older sister was still alive, and then she returned to her home and met Medusa. Medusa also discovered that Mayu is another Gate, so she decided to force Mayu into despair.
Mayu is in despair
When she learns that Misa died from the creation of Medusa and Misa's heart no longer remained as she had hoped), Mayu feels shock. Medusa then revealed she killed her parents, proven further by Medusa destroying the keychain that Misa gave her to remind her of her family, which is also the one thing that supported Mayu's lonely life, she falls into despair. However, she overcomes her despair and suppresses her inner Phantom much like how Haruto did in the Sabbath. When asked by a baffled Medusa for the reasons she managed to do so, Mayu says that Misa saved her; Mayu seems to have been able to hold on to her hope by remembering Misa saying that she alone decides her beginning and end, refusing to let the monster who destroyed her family destroy her life.
Due to the unusual feat, she is soon contacted by White Wizard and offered to be trained to be a mage like Haruto, which Mayu takes up without hesitation. Afterwards, Mayu and White Wizard teleport away to somewhere, supposedly to begin her training as a magician.
Returned As Magician[]
Mayu returns and transforms to face Medusa once again in order to avenge her late family. She later defeats Medusa using the Holy Ring; given by White Wizard in exchange for Haruto's Infinity ring. She was later asked by Haruto what will she do now. She replies that she will protect people from the Phantoms by hunting them down.
After White Wizard/Fueki was revealed to be Wiseman as well, Mayu becomes one of the targets for one of Fueki's plan for the new Sabbath, thus kidnapped by a brainwashed Yuzuru.
Once the Sabbath is foiled by Beast, later the death of Fueki and Koyomi at the hands of Gremlin, Mayu, along with Yuzuru and Yamamoto joins the fight against Gremlin. When she is about to be killed by an evolved Gremlin due to her long black hair, she is saved by Haruto. After the final battle, she joins a police force under Rinko's guidance.

Notes[]
- Mayu is the first Kamen Rider Mage to wield a WizarSwordGun.
- She is the only in-series Kamen Rider Mage to willingly become a magician, as the other two were forced against their will into becoming one by Fueki.
- Although the episode featuring Mayu's first transformation to Kamen Rider Mage aired (June 23rd, 2013) over a month before the premiere of Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land (August 3rd, 2013), the news of Mayu's transformation into Mage and the many Mages in the summer movie was revealed at the same time, leaving her somewhat overshadowed.
