Nagone Mako ((なご)()マコ) is a vocal synth character created for the UTAU engine released on August 20, 2008.

Her voice is provided by her creator, Makonaka.

Concept[]

Etymology[]

Her family name Nagone (和音) means Chord Sound, Harmonious Sound; it could also be read as Japanese Styled Sound, appropriate since Mako is often illustrated as a kunoichi. Mako (マコ) and Makoto (マコト) have no meaning.

Appearance[]

Mako does not have a definite appearance, although Makonaka usually depicts her with long black hair that is usually held in a pony tail.

Mako does not have an "official" outfit. Fan have been known to change her outfit in almost every video- although the underlining "ninja" feel is a consistency with all of her appearances. One example consists of ninja style garb with a short netted shirt and white scarf, over which she wears a black robe with a giant red obi. Her arms are bandaged, mimicking VOCALOID arm gear.

Makoto's character is largely based off of Mako's down to the profile and appearance. The only difference between the two is their gender.

Personality[]

Mako is shown to be a kunoichi for hire, and while competent with her job, is lazy and often slacks off with her work and spends her free time singing. She's been into gaming videos lately.

  • Nagone Makoto - Official genderbend and male derivative by pitch manipulation.


Trivia[]

  • For a while, her name was read by western fans as Waon Mako, Waon being a misreading of her family name Nagone. The author clarified it was read as Nagone after the misunderstanding continued.
  • Amane Luna is treated as her common singing partner and fellow member of Tenhou ((てん)(ほう)) unit and the Double Yakuman trio. Tenhou is taken from the "Ama" part of Luna's last name (天) and the "Nago" part of Mako's last name (和).[1]
  • Kasane Teto is a fellow member of the Kasa-Ama-Nago ((かさ)(あま)(なご)) unit also known as Double Yakuman (だぶるやくまん).
    • Double Yakuman and Tenhou are references to mahjong terms.[2][3]
