Mingko

Mingko is the het ship between Mako and Ming-Hua from The Legend of Korra fandom.

Canon
Mako and Ming-Hua met during the latter's attempts to kidnap the Avatar Korra. Ming-Hua was part of a group known as the Red Lotus that wanted to destroy Korra, and Mako happened to be a good friend of Korra's. Mako first met Ming-Hua in Zaofu when he awoke to find the Red Lotus running away with Korra. Mako immediately ran out and attacked them. He helped Lin and Su get Korra back, and Ming-Hua and the others escaped.

Mako and the others later watched over Korra while she was in the Spirit World. Ming-Hua arrived with Ghazan and tried to capture her. Asami left with Korra while Mako stayed behind to fight Ming-Hua. Ming-Hua pinned Mako against a wall and punched him in the face. She and Ghazan managed to capture Mako along with Bolin. They were dragged to Zaheer and brought to Ba Sing Se.

Korra was later captured by the Red Lotus and poisoned by them in an attempt to kill her while she was in the Avatar State. Mako eventually arrived to save her. He stayed behind to face Ming-Hua so that she could not harm Korra. Mako fought her for a while, gaining the upper hand when she lost her water arms and ran out of water to bend. Mako insisted that their fight was over, but Ming-Hua ran down a hole. She found a large pool and was ready to attack Mako, but he jumped out of the water and bending lightning at her. Ming-Hua was electrocuted and killed.

Fanon
The ship between Mako and Ming-Hua became popular when a trailer for the second half of Book Three was released. It showed Mako and Ming-Hua fighting and Ming-Hua pushing Mako against a wall while smiling. Many fans thought that the look on her face was very seductive. Mingko still has some supporters despite the fact that there is a significant age difference, they have always been enemies, and Mako ended up killing Ming-Hua. Some fans insist that she may have survived the electrocution and was instead killed by the cave-in. Mingko is often portrayed as a love-hate relationship.
