Throughout the world, Imai (イマイ , Imai , Имай , along with others...) is quite a rare epicene forename. The forename Imai is characteristic of Greece, where it is a rare male name, India, where it is a rare primarily female, but very seldom boy's name, and Japan, where it is a very rare male name. In absolute terms, it most frequently occurs in India, China, and Indonesia. Much less frequently, Imai is the last name as well as the forename.
Imai is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Imai Katsutoshi , character in Kyō Kara Ore Wa!!.
