History[]
[[File:|thumb||left]] Prior to joining the Evolians, Mahoro was a member of the resistance against them along with her brother Mizuho and fiancee Asuka. In the battle at the Invasion Garden Palace, both were captured by the Evolians and brought to the center of the palace, where Dezumozorlya tricked her into believing that Asuka has abandoned her for another woman. Dezumozoryla then impregnated Jannu with his spawn and forced her to give birth to Disciple of Dawn Lije, while brainwashing her into Destruction Messenger Jannu and Mizuho into Darkness Messenger Geildon. Although Lije was her daughter, Jannu did not view her as such and saw her only as a vessel for Dezumozorlya.
Following Geildon's defeat at the hands of the Abarangers, Jannu would, at his insistance, kill him in order to take possession of the Cursed Armor from him.
Jannu would later encounter Asuka again when he recruited the Abarangers to fight the Evolians, but did not recognize him. After Abare Killer became leader of the Evolians, Jannu made Visionary Messenger Voffa invent the Fortress Lifeform Anomalogaris so she could pilot it to destroy the Abarangers. She would also don the Cursed Armor in order to make use of its abilities to control Anomalogaris. During the subsequent battle, Asuka managed to board the ship and went to confront Jannu. During their confrontation, Asuka revealed that he had never left Mahoro and that she was still the only woman he loved, causing Mahoro to resist Dezumozorlya's brainwashing. After Asuka defeated her and chose to wear the Cursed Armor once more, Mahoro was freed from its influence. The Anomalogaris soon exploded from the damage it had sustained from their fight, but both of them would survive.
When the Abarangers found her, they discovered that she had lost her memory. She then got a job working in the Dino House and befriended the Abarangers. However, her memory returned when she saw Asuka's face after he was revealed to be wielding the Cursed Armor. After learning this, Mahoro re-assumed her identity as Jannu in order to free Asuka from the armor and infiltrate the Evolians to rescue Lijewel as well.
Mahoro continued to assist the Abarangers in secret, providing them with clues on how to stop Dezumozorlya. Dezumozorlya eventually figured out her treachery while he was possessing Lijewel. After Dezumozorlya was purged from Lijewel's body, Mahoro rushed over to her daughter as she regressed into Lije, and then an infant. Mahoro then entrusted Asuka to watch over her infant daughter, right before Dezumozorlya possessed her to return to the Invasion Garden and fuse Mikela and Voffa into DezumoVoorla to serve as his temporary host.
After Dezumozorlya possessed the Invasion Garden itself to become Dezumogevirus, he kept Mahoro imprisoned inside of his core. Mahoro was later rescued by Asuka and Ranru Itsuki, but Dezumozorlya recreated the Cursed Armor to attack them again.
After Dezumozoryla was destroyed, Mahoro returned to Dino Earth with Asuka and her daughter, whom she had now named "Mikoto", to start their lives anew. At the end of the final episode, a family resembling Asuka, Mahoro and Lije entered the Dino Curry much to the Abaranger's surprise.
