Mamiya (マミヤ) is a female warrior who is allies with Kenshirō & Rei where she fights using bladed yo-yos, Emeici spikes and a bowgun.
Manga & TV Series
On her twentieth birthday, Mamiya's parents were slain by Yuda and she was kidnapped by him, having his brand (UD) tattooed on her back. She escaped and started a new life, rejecting her femininity and becoming a warrior to lead her village.
When the Fang Clan threatened her village, she hired Kenshiro and Rei as mercenaries for protection. The Fang Clan attack resulted in the death of her little brother Kō, her last remaining relative. Mamiya was initially attracted to Kenshiro, but he did not reciprocate her feelings. She helps Kenshiro to find Toki, discovering that he is imprisoned at Cassandra. Rei falls in love with her and kills Yuda during his dying days to avenge Mamiya's honor. To respect Rei's last wishes, she gives up her life as a warrior and embraces her womanhood.
After this, Mamiya reappears in the manga sporadically, during the Gento arc and again during the final arc of the manga. She reappears in Episode 114 of the sequel TV series.
Appearance
In the story, it is referenced multiple times by characters (like Kenshirō & Toki) that Mamiya bears a "striking" resemblance to Yuria.
In the TV series, Mamiya's hair is red compared to brunette in the manga and she wears an orange-tan warrior outfit with red linings, yellow-armored pauldrons, red sleeves, a red belt, yellow pants and red boots.
