Captain of the Tokai Stars in the Place Name League. She plays first base. Known as the "Tokai Wide-Angle Cannon" for her ability to hit extra-base hits to all fields. While she usually appears expressionless and cold, she harbors a deep fear of loneliness and carries scars from her past. She enjoys reading and deeply treasures those who treat her with kindness. A 19-year-old woman from Nagasaka-cho, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture. [About Mai's Past] Within the Nagasaka family, there is a legend of the "Cursed Eyes." Approximately 230 years ago, Akiko Nagasaka was born into the family with purple eyes and the supernatural ability to read minds. Akiko rose to power and eventually plotted to become the head of the family. She devised a terrifying plan to assassinate her siblings so that she would be the sole successor. However, the plot was foiled, Akiko was disowned, and the family was saved. Then, in 2022—roughly 210 years later—a child named Mai Nagasaka was born with purple eyes. Fearing she was a reincarnation of Akiko, the Nagasaka family was terrified; some even considered "disposing" of her. Her parents, Sanami (mother) and Ryosuke (father), refused. They fled the family home with Mai and raised her with love at Sanami's parents' house. Because of her unusual purple eyes, Mai was bullied in elementary school. Reading the minds of others only revealed insults directed at her, causing her immense pain and pushing her to her limit. However, in middle school, she met Ayumu Kobuchizawa (who would later join the Yokosuka Skyers). Ayumu recruited Mai into the baseball club—or rather, forced her to join. The two became the team's top two batters, leading them to victory in the Yamanashi Prefectural Tournament and even an appearance at Koshien. While playing baseball, Mai was able to forget her past trauma. Through this, she fell in love with the sport. In the 2042 draft, Mai was selected as the Tokai Stars' first-round pick, while Ayumu was the Yokosuka Skyers' second-round pick.
