Mako’s life has been traumatic due to the death of her family, but this only fuels her desire to prove herself and to fight the Kaiju. However, when she helps Pentecost recruit the former star pilot, Raleigh Becket, the two seem to share an intensely personal connection that might just make them “drift compatible": the ability to share emotions, thoughts, and memories with another person in order to successfully control a Jaeger.Ĭhallenge… overcoming her fears and proving herself a capable pilot. She can barely make friendships or socialize with those she works with, and spends most of her time alone. In the midst of chaos during heightened Kaiju attacks, Mako hasn’t had a lot of time for relationships beyond the close and respectful relationship she has with Pentecost. With the guidance of Pentecost, Mako also trains to become a skilled Ranger, with record-setting scores on the Jaeger simulator. Mako’s job is to repair the old Jaeger, Gipsy Danger, which belonged to former co-pilots and brothers, Yancy and Raleigh Becket. She enrolled in the Jaeger Academy, a program designed to train pilots to combat the invading Kaiju, and quickly became a skilled technician specializing in mechanics and engineering. Profession… Jaeger mechanic, and aspiring Ranger. She and Pentecost live and work at the Pan Pacific Defense Corps inside the Shatterdome in Hong Kong. Mako lives with Pentecost who adopted her after the death of her parents. Just as the Kaiju was surely about to kill her, Stacker Pentecost saved her while piloting his Jaeger, a giant mecha robot designed to kill the Kaiju. When she was just a young girl, Mako became separated from her parents during a Kaiju (massive amphibious creature from another dimension) attack on Tokyo, and came face to face with the enormous Onibaba Kaiju. Mako grew up with her mother Sumako and father Masao Mori, who was a sword maker. Grew Up… in a village in Tanegashima, Japan.
