[edit] Pre-Program

Mayumi Tendo is one of the class of third-year students at the fictional Shiroiwa Junior High School. In the novel and manga, almost no details are given in the novel about her life before the program, except for the fact that she was rumored to have partaken in "telephone dating", which caused some to regard her as a slut; Hirono Shimizu knew that Mayumi appeared prim and proper but participated in the dating.

In the movie she was one of many students who bullied Noriko Nakagawa.

[edit] During The Program

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After Yoshio Akamatsu decides to snipe at students from the roof of the school, Mayumi happens to be the next student out of the school. In the novel , Yoshio shoots her in the back with an arrow from his crossbow, thus making her the first student to die in the course of the actual game.In the manga she is shot through the side of the face, apparently having died instantly.

In the movie version, she is shot through the neck, and manages to speak to Shuya Nanahara briefly saying "Nanahara.. What should I do with this?" before she dies.
