Mac Windy (マック・ウィンディ Makku Windi?) is a member of Cosmo Academia's New York Branch who is skilled as a master of boxing & aikido. Mac was chosen by the Dragonfly Insect Medal to become the first of the New Beetle Fighters, named Beetle Fighter Yanma (ＢＦヤンマ Bī Faitā Yanma?). He posed as an exchange student at Kouhei's school, becoming his rival as a result. He eventually revealed himself as a Beetle Fighter when the three were attacked by the Beetle Crushers, making an enemy out of Mukadelinger & losing to him until Kabuto comes to his aid.
After giving Kouhei his Tonbou-Gun, Mac left for America after telling the Beetle Fighters of the three other Insect Medals.
