Upon his departure, she asked why her mother did not follow him to Japan. Mamoru explained that it was never their intention to abandon her, but given her mother's present state of mind, they chose to leave her in the able care of her grandmother.

Personality[]

Mako is a brave and kindhearted young woman who fights for her ideals. She loves children and worked at a kindergarten before becoming Shinken Pink. She dreams to have a normal and happy family, and to be a wife and mother someday, just like every other girl.

When faced with 'broken' or 'sad' individuals, she wishes immediately to help them through their pain. As an example of this, she dislikes vulnerable men as she is unable to resist the desire to 'fix' them. However, once their problems are solved, she regards their sentimental behavior as annoying.

Mako was light on her Samurai training before joining the Shinkengers, similar to Chiaki. But Mako proved to be slightly more diligent in her studies compared to him, who was the weakest of the five. While she does not share Ryunosuke's passion to serve Takeru without question, she does not outright dismiss him either, and keeps her opinion of Takeru neutral.

Despite all of Mako's skills, she is a terrible cook. One of her dishes even renders Takeru unconscious. Except for Kotoha, who looks up to her, the entire Shiba household becomes panicked whenever she decides to cook a meal. Once she discovers their opinion of her cooking, Mako takes it upon herself to sample her own cooking and admits she has room for improvement. When Kotoha is injured by Dayu Usukawa, Mako decides to give up on cooking, believing it made her careless of their situation with the Gedoshu. However, Hikoma refuses to allow her to give up, stating that she would become inflexible without it to differentiate herself.

Shinken Pink[]

As Shinken Pink (シンケンピンク, Shinken Pinku), Mako is the Samurai of Sky (天の侍, Ten no Samurai) and can use the Inromaru to become Super Shinken Pink (スーパーシンケンピンク, Sūpā Shinken Pinku).

Shinken Pink's insert theme is Nadeshiko Shinken Hana Fubuki.
