Mayu did not snub Aoi, finding her charming and well-mannered. Unlike the other would-be suitors to Kaoru, Mayu does not move into the cottage he uses while keeping secret his relationship with Aoi Sakuraba (Michelle Ruff), presumed to be his landlady. Years later, while attending a university that she considered beneath her, Mayu had the pleasant surprise of spotting Kaoru, with whom she immediately began to strike up their old friendship, while almost deliberately snubbing his friends Tina Foster and Taeko Minazuki (Philece Sampler). Intelligence-wise, Mayu proved to be a prodigy and moved through school quickly. Since Kaoru was a few years her senior, Mayu saw him as a much older man and fell in love with him, and was somewhat saddened when her parents moved overseas and they had to part.

When her parents would attend functions on the Hanabishi estate, Mayu would come along, and there she was befriended by the Hanabishi heir, Kaoru Hanabishi (David Wittenberg), who went out of his way to make Mayu laugh. But very often, the absence or inattention of her parents cause her great pain, especially as a small child. Mayu enjoys the finer things her wealth buys her, no questions asked. She is voiced by Karen Strassman in the American English dub, who also voiced Rouge the Bat in Sonic the Hedgehog series, Kitana and Mileena in Mortal Kombat series, Helena Douglas in Dead or Alive series, and Poison in Street Fighter X Tekken. Mayu Miyuki is a regular supporting character in the anime/manga romance series, Ai Yori Aoshi. She's rich and can be nice.when she isn't rhyming with rich.
