Mako is a sweet, but naive, ditzy and absent-minded girl, and the best friend of Ryuko Matoi. In fact, Ryuko is Mako's only friend, aside from the ones who live inside her head. Mako's rather odd way of thinking and skewed priorities (for instance, when threatened with being cut open, she's more concerned about ruining the lunchbox hidden under her shirt than for her life) prompt her to give bizarre speeches with tangential relevance at best to the current situation, bewildering and occasionally enraging those listening as they pause what they're doing to try and follow her thought process. Ordinarily, she has no combat abilities, but when she wears her Two Star Goku Uniform, her strength and speed increase significantly.

Even without her uniform, she is capable of some impressive feats when sufficiently motivated, such as the time she was able to catch all the weaponized money being fired at her in her bare hands (she wanted to spend the money on food), getting her Fight Club promoted to provide for her family, or the time she was able to briefly wear Senketsu to bring a mind-controlled Ryuko back to normal, which is noted to be extremely difficult for an ordinary human to do, especially one as untrained and undisciplined as Mako.

Weaknesses: Although Mako's Goku Uniform is very strong, at least on par with Three Star uniforms, it's balanced by its lack of versatility. Sure, Mako can hit really hard with it, but that's all she can do. In addition, Mako isn't a fighter at heart, so she doesn't have any skills or techniques to fight more smartly than destructive flailing, and can decide to end a fight willingly if she no longer wants to continue, or if an opponent was able to talk her out of fighting.
