Appearance

Each member of Ichigo Berry has a distinct color assigned to them, green being Mako’s. Her signature look includes sparkling black sleeveless crop top, a short green skirt with black fishnet leggings, black combat boots, a black choker with a silver triangle pendant, and a poofy black and green hair accessory. Her hair is shoulder-length and dark brown, and she has brown eyes and several birthmarks on her cheek.

Plot

Mako is a member of J-pop girl group Ichigo Berry, along with Misa Amane and Serina Kudo, and the three young women seem to genuinely get along with each other. When answering their preferred type of guy in an interview, Misa states that hers is Kira. Hearing Misa’s answer, Mako seems to be both surprised and somewhat annoyed.

When Misa is apprehended on suspicion of being the second Kira shortly before one of Ichigo Berry’s shows, Mako and Serina are forced to go out alone. Serina, managing to stay somewhat upbeat, announces to the crowd that Misa was unavailable at the last minute but that the two will still perform without her. During Serina’s explanation, Mako stands silently next to her, visibly upset. In order to explain Misa’s absence, L subsequently spreads a rumor that Misa has gone to Hollywood for auditions. Whether or not Serina and Mako know the truth of Misa’s detainment or were told the same lie is unknown.

Towards the end of the series, Mako, along with Serina, asks Misa to hang out. However, Misa declines, claiming she has something to do but not recalling what.
