She usually wears protection goggles over her head.

Personality
Mei is a smart, friendly and easygoing girl, though at times incovenient. She loves creating gadgets, which she refers to as her "super cute babies". She also has the habit of "going straight to the point".

Sports Festival Arc
Mei participates in the Obstacle Race, using her Wire Arrow and Hover Soles to easily get through during the tightrope abyss, as she explains students of the Department of Support have permission to use customized uniforms and gadgets since they don't receive formal combat taining like students of the Department of Heroes. She eventually finishes the race, placing 41st,  allowing her to continue onto the next event, the Human Cavalry Battle.

Mei offers to team up with Izuku and Ochako, startling the former for "being too close", while Ochako notes she's "the weird girl from before". She says she can get a lot of attention from the student who placed first (to which Ochako comment she's very straight) and that this way her gadgets can better get noticed by a company. This confuses Ochako but Mei ignores her. Mei then starts explaining to Izuku about the Department of Support, which has the goal of developing equipment which facilitate the use of heroes' Quirks, and shows him her "babies", among which he recognizes a jet pack based on Buster Hero's Air Jet, and Izuku comments he is his fan too. She is about to tell him what his Quirk is when he decides to search for the last member of their horse. She is then seen in the formation of her team's warhorse along with Ochako and Fumikage.

The event begins and Mei along with her teammates about to be assaulted by Tetsutetsu and Tooru's teams. Mei and her team try to escape but they find themselves stuck in Juuzou's Quirk. Izuku tells Ochako and Mei to look away and uses the jetpack that Mei gave to him earlier, allowing Mei and her teammates to escape into the air. Kyouka attacks but Fumikage uses his Dark Shadow to defend his team. Mei and her teammates land safely thanks to Ochako's Quirk and equipment attached to her legs (courtesy of Mei). Izuku praises Mei and her gadgets for giving them greater maneuverability. Then, Mei and her teammates are attacked by Tetsutetsu's team again but Fumikage uses his Dark Shadow to block them. Suddenly, Mezou and his team attack them.

After landing, Mei and her teammates are confronted by Shouto's team.
