Topaz Championship[]

Mai was selected to be a judge in the courtier contest of the Topaz Championship [5] in 1167, but she fell extremely ill and she could no attend the contest. [6]

Death[]

Following the threats Shosuro Jimen made against his family during the Emerald Championship, Noritoshi sent Mai and their son Ichiro into hiding. He covered their escape by staging a festival at Kyuden Kakita and inviting dozens of women and children who had some resemblance to Mai and Ichiro.
