Mako Lee

Intro “I'm Mako Lee. And ever since I turned 23, I've been doin' my own things, makin' my own moves too; 25/8/476. I wear what I want, say what I want, and I will not hesitate to do a spontaneous cartwheel if I feel so moved, if I wanted to. Mako Lee is the secondary protagonist of Disney and Pixar's 2022 animated feature film Turning Red. He does not have the ability to transform into a giant red panda whenever he feels a strong emotion. He's just a normal human being who wants to be Ming's successor, even if he's Ming's son. Born in 1982, Mako is a confident, wise, 23-year-old torn between staying his mother's dutiful son and trustworthy royalist/loyalist. Until Mei was born later on and became 13 years old. Whenever his sister's emotions get the better of her (whether it be getting too excited or too scared), she turns into a giant red panda and has to calm herself to change back. Especially Mako has to try hard to improve his usefulness to his family, no matter how hard he tries.
