A second year student who is quite attached to Ryuko. She is often taken hostage or punished by other members of the academy. Because rank in the school determines ones living conditions, Mako resides in the poorer "slums" of the city with her mother, father (who is a back alley doctor), her delinquent younger brother and Guts, the family's pet pug. Mako is a very energetic lady, opting to greet people with an affectionate dive into them.

The ox of the Zodiac, Haru has something of a Yin and Yang personality related to the Ox's personality. He is usually calm, placid, and otherwise an all-around nice guy, but can be goaded into "stampeding," where he's edgy and mean and slightly oversexed. White Haru is conscious during his "black" transformation, but is unable to do anything about it. He just either apologizes or doesn't care. Additionally, Haru has a rather bad sense of direction, he had become lost for three days in another town after trying to find Kyo so he could challenge him. He likes to make fun of Kyo passively and wants to fight with him on a regular basis. He is very protective and caring, especially towards Yuki, Kisa and Rin, and is constantly looking out for these characters. (Source: Wikipedia)
