Asato Ai is one of the characters from the Japanese manga and anime series Kochikame by Akimoto_Osamu. She is a patrol officer from the Transport Department of the Katsushika Police Headquarters. She is most often addressed as 'Maria', which is an alternative reading of her name as a whole (ma, ri, a(i), 麻-里-愛). In the manga, her name Maria is typeset in the katakana alphabet (マリア) the most often.
Maria is best known for the fact that she was a transgendered character; in the manga, she officially becomes female and is no longer a male. In the anime however, 'she' remained as a transgender newhalf in all episodes.
