Īt the end of their first year, Kirishima, Pon and Mako encounter Bandou Hideto. Kirishima, Pon and Mako would try and take on the man Katsuragi said was stronger than himself, who they call Rindaman. In the reboot version, the Ebizuka Trio lent their strength to GPS (to help their senior, Izaki Shun) in their battle against Serizawa Army. Mako also once challenged Genji to fight just to what kind of a man he is but lost. They were then invited by Izaki Shun to join GPS which they declined. He alongside with Hiromi and Pon, won the Freshmen War. It was the first time they met Suzuran's infamous, Genjirou Katsuragi. After looking at them, Katsuragi turns to Odajima's brother and says to him '' Odajima, what the fuck do you think you are doing fighting middle schoolers?!'' Odajima and the rest of the Suzuran students apologize and run in fear. Katsuragi stopped and asked what's going on and looked at Hiromi, Pon, Mako and Gunji. When Odajima's brother and the Suzuran students saw him walking by, they began to panic in fear. Before engaging them into a fight, Hiromi's speech caught the attention of Genjirou Katsuragi, who was walking by. When Hiromi, Pon and Gunji arrived to help, Kirishima tells Odajima's brother that Suzuran can kiss his ass and that they aren't anything special because they are two or three years older than them.

At this time, Hiromi considered not going to high school. When they find out about Odajima, Hiromi stated that it didn't matter what happens from now on. Unknown to the Ebizuka Trio, no one fights with Odajima since he has an older brother from Suzuran that backs him. They took out Sahara and his guys from Seta Mid and Odajima and his guys from 3rd Mid. Mako, along with Pon and Hiromi, would fight other middle schoolers from outside Ebizuka. Many of the middle schoolers wanted to join the Ebizuka Trio but they did not take any followers. Mako, along with Pon and Hiromi, would become well known around the district as the Ebizuka Trio and were the strongest at Ebizuka. Mako attended Ebizuka Mid along with Pon and Kirishima and would become friends. He claimed that he enjoys sitting alone quietly at the very back of his class, enjoying the sunlight and falling asleep while thinking about love. It was stated by Pon that Mako likes spicy foods. Regardless of Hiromi's leadership, Mako is considered the strongest of the Ebi Trio,this makes him the Harumichi Family's second strongest fighter after only Bouya himself. This even led to a one-on-one versus Housen's Hideyuki Bitou, which was a fight that Mako won. Mako has even accompanied Bouya more than once when the latter had to confront a whole gang of enemies by himself. Because of this, Mako's inner chatterbox came out and the two became fast friends, even if they ended up fighting all the time. Mako used to be a man of few words, until he became friends with Bouya.
