The self-styled &quot;former idol,&quot; Mako is Hideki's 19 year-old cousin who is originally from Okayama prefecture and still has the distinct Okayama dialect of Japanese (portrayed as a Southern American English in the English dub). She is skillfully able to spend her older cousin's money on her lavish &quot;Dom Perignon&quot; tastes, but often deflects his marriage proposals by saying &quot;the Japanese constitution does not allow it!,&quot; despite the fact that it does. She's attracted to Ichiro even though he does not return her affections and fights over him with Yukika. (Source: Wikipedia)

Hideki, leader of the Nerima Daikon Brothers, has a dream to build a dome in his hometown of Nerima to hold a concert for his band. Together with his cousin, Mako (whom he has a crush on), Ichiro, and Pandaikon (a panda he found in his yard that resembles a daikon), they strive to make money any way they can, and in the process, rid the world of evil-doers and steal their money in the process. With help from a rental guy, Nabeshin, who rents them outrageous items that always seem to help them defeat the bad guys, the Nerima Daikon Brothers sing their way to victory but always manage to lose the money they stole in the end. Even under the investigation of Inspector Karakuri, they never fail to fight for justice the Nerima-Daikon way.

Her original name is Ayano Matsumoto (松本彩乃); she changed to the current name on June 11, 2008.

The somewhat rough Hideki, former idol Mako, and cool host Ichiro live together on a stage in the middle of a daikon field. Their dream is to build a concert dome there to perform blues music to the masses, but they're just too poor to get anywhere.
