Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile, tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home
His name pays homage to Mako Iwamatsu, the man who voiced Iroh from Book 1: Water to Book 2: Earth, but died shortly after finishing his lines for Book 2
It’s sad that so many people are criticizing Mako’s character when they named him after such a great man. The creators didn’t expect the fandom to dislike Mako because they put so much effort onto making him in honor of the late, deceased Mako. I hope people will understand how important Mako is to the creators and the whole series itself.
