Maya Yamada

Maya Yamada is a supporting protagonist in the light novel and anime series Infinite Stratos. She is a veteran IS pilot, a former IS Representative Candidate of Japan and a teacher at IS Academy, She is an assistant homeroom teacher and close friend of Chifuyu Orimura.

She is voiced by Noriko Shitaya in the Japanese version of the anime and Cynthia Martinez in the English version.

Appearance
Maya has short green hair with green eyes, over which she wears an ordinary pair of glasses. While around average height, she has a voluptuous figure and very well endowed figure that usually makes Ichika nervous whenever she is in her IS suit. She is often seen wearing a revealing yellow dress with short sleeves and knee high boots.

Personality
Maya is a very shy and nervous person who is affectionate towards her students; when Ichika accidentally grabbed her breasts during a crash landing, she refused to say anything cruel or mean, instead, she began talking about marriage and whatnot before having a sexual relationship, Ichika quickly backed off due to his somewhat similar personality. She is a sharp contrast when compared to Chifuyu, who tends to be very strict with her students. Despite her tremendous IS abilities, Maya remains extremely modest when being flattered by Chifuyu, stating that it was ages ago and that she never got past being a candidate student. She can be quite teasing though, such as playfully questioning Chifuyu about her brother, which she is always forced to take back.

Despite her shyness, Maya can quickly become level headed and confident when it's time for action. This quick change surprised her students, after she protected Ichika from Cecilia and Rin's anger. She also somewhat playful in battle as well, as she can often be seen smiling when in action.

Maya is also rather inexperienced when it comes to being around males. Often, she's slow to catch on that her large breast would naturally draw the attention of young boys (usually Ichika), especially when she's wearing the skin-tight IS suit. She admits at one point that she has never had a boyfriend, which would likely explain this inexperience.
