Mako Mankanshoku

Mako Mankanshoku, also known as Underachiever, is one of the main characters from the Kill la Kill series.
== Charactah Account ==
A second-year No-Star student at Honnouji Academy who becomes Ryuuko's best, and only, friend as soon as the two meet. She is a complete and utter airhead whose odd and overly-energetic antics never cease to baffle everyone around her. Nevertheless, she has a good heart and provides Ryuuko with invaluable moral support.
Mako is a hyperactive, carefree and loving girl who seems to cling to anyone she befriends, emphasized by how she becomes inseparable from Ryūko very quickly. 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 Ira Gamagoori should wear pajamas in bed instead of being in the nude.

== Trivia ==
* Mako's surname Mankanshoku means "full, fullness, enough, satisfy" (man), "ship, warship" (kan) and "decorate, ornament, adorn, embellish" (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.
* Mako's Two-Star uniform is based on common visual tropes regarding Japanese high school delinquent stereotypes.
