The Oni-Baku encounter Ayumi and Mariko at Yoron Island in volume 1. Eikichi views it as an opportunity to 'get lucky' and continually tries to grope Mariko.
Upon discovering that the two women are not students, but actually teachers at their new school, Eikichi initially seeks revenge on Mariko. However, they eventually start getting along. When Ayumi leaves, Mariko remains an occasional member of the SJG cast, often helping the pair out of difficult situations.
Mariko is also the daughter of a Yakuza boss and a former member of Kadena Nao's 'Purple Haze' gang.
