Mako In Pacific Rim. This was confirmed on Twitter by Travis Beacham Pacific Rims screenwriter. In the finished film Becket is only mentioned in passing in a speech from Jake about heroes from the first war.

His new partner is Mako Mori a Japanese girl who wants to be a pilot to avenge the death of her family. She is also the co-pilot and possible love interest of.
Rinko Kikuchi rocked as Mako Mori.

Her death further irked fans of Guillermo del Toros Pacific Rim because it seemingly served little purpose other than to provide motivation for Uprising lead Jake Pentecost John Boyega. What happened to mako and Raleigh. DeKnight Daredevil regrets how Mako Moris Rinko Kikuchi arc was handled in the film.
