Mako Shiraishi (白石茉子, Shiraishi Mako) is Shinken Pink (シンケンピンク, Shinken Pinku) of the Shinkengers. She serves in the next generation after her mother.

History[]

Shinkenger[]

As a child, Mako was seemingly abandoned by her mother and father, shortly after the battle against Doukoku Chimatsuri. Heartbroken, the tearful Mako attempts to go after her parents as her father wheels her mother (now a paraplegic) away, but is quickly left behind. She was left in the care of her grandmother where she remained and trained to become a Samurai.

When Dokoku and the Ayakashi emerged from the Sanzu River with the intention to flood the earth, Mako and the other four Shinkengers are called to the side of the eighteenth head of the Shiba House, Takeru Shiba.

Sometime later, her father reappears and asks her to join him and her mother in Hawaii. His appearance prompts questions from the others about her life prior to their time together. Mako explains what happened between herself and her parents when she was a child and is clearly still hurt by the memory of it. Her father continues to insist that she leave Japan and come to Hawaii, and though she hesitated, Mako refused to give up on her life as a Samurai. 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. Mako's understanding of their actions is brought to full circle when her mother finally appears at the airport and reaffirms Mamoru's explanation. Kyoko apologizes for leaving her and the two reconcile in a moment of tears.

After Dokoku's final defeat, Mako decides to go to Hawaii to live with her parents, but continues to join the Shinkengers when needed.

Kamen Rider Decade[]

The Arrival of the Samurai Sentai[]

Arriving in the new world with a strange card in hand, Tsukasa finds himself in the costume of a kuroko before running into Daiki who just stole a squid-like artifact. (See his theft in the final scene in Shinkenger Act 20) Daiki mentions that this world is not like the other A.R. Worlds before running off prior to the appearance of mysterious red fish-like monsters. Tsukasa is about to transform before several other Kuroko show up along with five young men and women who transform into the Shinkengers to fight drive them back into the Sanzu River.

Heretic Rider, Go Forth![]

Later, Decade and Shinken Red fight Chinomanako, who has summoned Kamen Rider Blade to fight with him. The other Shinkengers (including Shinken Pink) and Kuuga manage to destroy the Eagle Undead and Moose Fangire as Decade becomes Complete Form and uses the powers of Blade King Form to attack Chinomanako.

Goseiger vs. Shinkenger[]

Mako later returns from Hawaii when Takeru reunites the team together. She meets up with Chiaki, Ryuunosuke, Kotoha and the five Goseigers at the docks. A brainwashed Takeru appears from his Fire Mojikara and attacks the Goseigers, leaving them on the ground after an explosion. The four Shinkengers watch in horror as Takeru turns to them. Kotoha tries to talk sense into him but to no avail. Takeru uses Kaen no mai on them, and they fall. Takeru was about uses Rekka Daizontou on them, slamming the giant blade onto the concrete, sending a rush of fire to them. But Alata blocks them, but recieves some severe burns. Genta and Gosei Knight show up, retreating everyone. While Alata is treated at Nozomu's house, Chiaki, Ryunosuke, Kotoha, Mako and Genta are all in grief about Takeru's brainwashing, but also the fact that Alata would save them from eternal defeat.

Legend War[]

Months after wiping out the last of the Gedoshu, Mako fought alongside not only her own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them and he gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The Shinken Pink powers are later used by Ahim de Famille via the Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Ironically, the Shinkengers were acquainted with the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker, Tsukasa Kadoya, also known as Kamen Rider Decade, having encountered him before when he visited their world.

Super Hero Taisen Z[]

The five-man Shinkenger team was part of a force of Sentai and Rider reinforcements led by Akarenger and Kamen Rider #1 that came to assist the Sentai and Riders of recent years who were overwhelmed by the revived monster army of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou. The combined forces of superheroes were able to turn the tide against the Madou army. They lined up and used their various finisher attacks to destroy the revived monsters.

After Demon King Psycho was destroyed and the battle was finally over, the Shinkengers appeared standing on a cliff with all the other heroes who appeared to help, to say goodbye to the heroes of recent years before taking their leave.

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).
