Mariko Izumo (出雲真理子, Izumo Mariko) is one of the teachers at Tsujido High School and a major character in the first part of Shonan Junai Gumi. She and Ayumi Murakoshi first meet Eikichi Onizuka and Ryuji Danma at a Yoronshima Island resort, where both the boys and girls lie to each other about being college students. Mariko and Eikichi almost hook up, but Eikichi has bowel trouble and has to run off. The boys and girls are shocked to find out that they're students and teachers at the same school when they get back.
Her father is in the yakuza, and she borrowed two of his goons to get back at Ryuji and Eikichi when they tried to blackmail her and Ayumi. She eventually reconciles with the Oni-Baku and cares deeply about all her students.
