Background

Mako lives with her family in the slums of Honnō City. She spends her days as a no-star student at Honnōji Academy. She befriended the transfer student, Ryūko Matoi, when she first arrived in the classroom. After Ryūko tried to assault the head of the student council, Satsuki Kiryūin, and fled the scene, Mako was captured because she was seen socializing with her. The Disciplinary group took Mako as a hostage but she was saved by Ryūko before she was deep-fried in a tub of scorching oil.

After the battle between Ryūko and the Boxing Club Captain, Takaharu Fukuroda, Mako met up with Ryūko when her family took her in. The next day, she invited Ryūko to stay with her and her family as they walked to school. She was unfazed despite being relentlessly bombarded with a barrage of tennis balls to the face. Mako was apprehended by the tennis club captain, Omiko Hakodate, for missing practice the day before, despite the fact that she was being held hostage at the time. Ryūko saved her as she was being tied up to a post and pelted on all sides by tennis balls. Mako made arguments against Uzu Sanageyama when he tried to fault Ryūko, which resulted in a tennis match between Ryūko and Omiko. Once the match was won, Mako fled with Ryūko under the cover of improvised steam.

When Ryūko was fighting a losing battle against Satsuki, Mako intervened between them and made a speech about how Ryūko should have no reason to be ashamed of showing her body, as well as commented that she and her family was talking about Ryūko’s body the night before. The speech motivated Ryūko to embrace wearing Senketsu and was finally able to maximize her potential.

During the event known as the “No-Late day”, Mako argued back to Gamagōri when he was questioning Ryūko's choice of current attire, and the argument later ended with how he should be wearing pajamas; instead of sleeping in the nude unless he wishes to get sick. As Mako and Ryūko attempted to get to class, they met up with the supposedly injured Maiko Ōgure and allowed her to join them out of kindness; however, she later betrayed them and stole Senketsu as it was being delivered by Mako's dog, Guts. After Ryūko beat up Maiko and reclaimed Senketsu, they both learned that they were tricked once again by Maiko's “fake school” trap. They were only able to make it into the school in time by crashing into the classroom after commandeering a cable cart.

She was made President of the Fight Club after Ryūko was intimidated by all the paperwork involved. Mako proved quite capable and competent in handling the day-to-day runnings of the Club and with Ryūko's many victories she was able to wrestle a 2-star ranking and with it, better living conditions for her family, quite easily. She was willing to fight Ryūko to keep that ranking and very nearly defeated her, although Ryūko did refuse to fight back against her friend. She stopped after seeing how all the luxury and standing had affected herself and her family. Mako disbanded the Fight Club and demoted herself back to No-Star so that they could all go back to enjoying their old life.

She is also quite lazy, as shown in how she goes to sleep as soon as class begins, humorously clashing with her hyperactivity. Mako is quite fearless and has scarcely shown to be intimidated in potentially threatening situations. She also has respect for the authority figures of the school but will voice her opinion about topics such as how Ira Gamagōri should wear pajamas in bed instead of sleeping nude. If Mako is properly motivated, she is capable of working hard and productively. During her time as president of the Fight Club, she showed a high level of competence and professionalism, as well as the ability to do complex papers and work. Having been poor for her whole life, Mako and her family tend to obsess about wealth. This trait was, at one point, even pushed so far that it caused her to turn against Ryūko temporarily, the latter trying to stop her greed.

Although she is a very kind and caring person, she doesn't seem to mind her Father's crimes, namely him accidentally killing his patients due to blood loss)

Later down the line, Mako gave all her energy in order to help Ryūko Matoi boost her power to defeat Ragyō Kiryūin)

Inside of her Uniform holds a vas variety of weapons that she can use to hurl at her opponents all at once or she can use the uniform to replace broken weapons or create weapons as well.

Golden Bat

As a close combat weapon, she uses a golden bat wrapped with bandages with nails stabbed into it. Mako was able to use this bat in order to match Ryūko Matoi in strength during their fight. It was also able to beat down Nui clones reliably.

Golden Spike-Ball and Chain

Mako can use a chain to bind her opponent and slam the opponent around. She used this against Ryuko during their fight to trap her and toss her around on the ground. She can also use the ball and chain to deal more damage to the opponent.

Mako Missiles

Inside of her golden bat, Mako has a missile that she can deploy at her target in order to cause a massive explosion. She used this attack against Ryuko to catch her off guard and to finish her off for good before snapping back to her senses

Brass Knuckles

Other

Standard Tactics: While Mako has her Goku Uniform on, she will start off the fight by rushing down her opponents and try to overwhelm them by throwing a variety of weapons at them. She will also try to retrain the target with her chains or repeatedly slam them on the ground with it over and over again. Mako uses her bat to overpower her opponent and send missiles at them. If all else fails, Mako will use her Brass Knuckles in order to land many hefty blows on the target, doing massive damage to them. If Mako does not have her uniform, however, she will start to panic and run away. She often waits for Ryūko Matoi to come and save her

Weaknesses: Her Mako is defeated, her Goku Uniform will be completely destroyed and she will be left powerless. If she doesn't have her uniform, she has no combat strength and will be left defenseless

Trivia

• Mako's surname Mankanshoku means "full, fullness, enough, satisfy" (満) (man), "ship, warship" (艦) (kan) and "decorate, ornament, adorn, embellish" (飾) (shoku), which literally means "full ship decoration" altogether.

Mako was originally going to have black or blonde hair along with pigtails or a ponytail.

• According to Creative Director Shigeto Koyama, he initially was going to give Mako's Two-Star Uniform a design that he described as a "giant Hulk-like Mako" which would have been dubbed, "The Invincible Mako". The design was going to be based on the World War Hulk comic book mini-series. While this concept was scrapped, the WWH sticker on the side of Mako's boogie board in the second closing was inserted as a nod to the design.[10]

• Mako's Two-Star uniform is based on common visual tropes regarding Japanese high school delinquent stereotypes.
