Ayako Okamomo is a young girl that appeared in the first two chapters of the Super Mario Land 3 manga as an enslaved caddie of the Game Boy Club. She is a caricature of professional golfer Ayako Okamoto.
Prior to the story events, Ayako tried to join the Game Boy Club, but unaware of the hidden clause on the registration paper she signed, she accepted the challenge of the mascot, Gorufuman Robo, in which she would have not pay for the registration fee if she won against him, but by losing she became a slave for the Golf Daiō, becoming a caddie.
Mario and Peach also fall for the same trick when trying to join the golf club, but discover of the trap before starting the match, after Mario takes Ayako's defense when Gorufuman hits her after she tried to pass him a golf club (after he demanded it, only for him to realize he can use the one he is carrying). Ayako is then seeing carrying the golf bags for Mario and Peach, keeping track of the scores, keeping down Peach's skirt when a strong wind rises to avoid embarrassing moments, and lowering Mario's pants when he makes a foul (as Gorufuman has to spank him with a Paper Fan as a punishment). Ayako, alongside the club's gardeners (other victims like her), later exposes Gorufuman cheating when he tries to hide Mario's ball, but Golf Daiō zaps the snitches by turning them into Cart Robo, but Ayako manages to dodge the transforming laser.
In the second chapter, after Gorufuman is defeated and Golf Daiō step forward to challenge Mario, she once again avoids another transforming laser that turns the gardeners into American cartoon characters, while Peach is turned into the Peach Robo to replace Gorufuman. Ayako asks Mario to help them by defeating Golf Daiō too, but in an act of jealousy (and following her robotic protocol to sabotage Mario and help Golf Daiō), Peach Robo shoves her away and forces her to be Golf Daiō's caddie in the following match. Once again, Ayako is seen keeping the scores. At one point, while on the last hole, Ayako pleads with Peach Robo to do the right thing and going against the protocol. Annoyed at her attempt, Golf Daiō swings a ball at her, realizing too late he just wasted a shot for this. Seeing Mario close to winning, Golf Daiō tries to stop him by raising a mini-Statue of Liberty from under Mario's ball, near which Mario and Ayako are standing, finding themselves on an uprooted patch of the green on the statue's torch. Ayako tries again to convince Peach to break free of the Peach Robo's costume and it works, with Peach freeing herself from the costume and showing Mario where to shoot his ball to win. After Mario's victory, Ayako and the gardeners (turned back to normal) are seen celebrating and then giggling when Mario tells Luigi that he became the new "King of Golf".
