Kawasaki, Maki

川崎マキ

Maki Kawasaki leads Team Warrior. She receives cases from the top brass and deploys the rest of the team. Maki is serious most of the time (don't cross her when she's serious), but she also has a sense of humor. She also seems to know how to push the right buttons. At least, Team Warrior doesn't seem to have much trouble when it comes to favors (especially money).
Maki has a past about which the rest of the team knows almost nothing. Some years ago, a policeman named Masato saved her from an attacker. Falling in love with him, she decided to become a cop herself, and the two married after she graduated from the police academy. However, Masato disappeared soon after their marriage while pursuing a case involving black diamonds. She wanted to pursue the case, but the police chief said she was needed to head a crack SWAT team to take on the toughest cases: Team Warrior. Thus, the issue of the black diamonds was put aside, at least for the moment (however, the case will come back into focus in Excess). Maki cut her hair and put on glasses when she became captain of Team Warrior.
