Po was raised by a humble noodle shop owner, but he has always dreamed of being a Jaeger pilot. When he finds out that his bio parents were killed in a Kaiju attack, that only makes him want to fight against the Kaiju even more. Po's heroes are Ugwe and Shifu, the first pilots ever to kill a Kaiju and survive the battle. They're also the trainers/mentors of the three currently highest-ranking Jaeger teams (the Furious Five + Tai).
But one of their students is mixed up in shady dealings (maybe selling stuff on the black market?) that could cause a huge scandal. Most people in the military and national governments would cover up just about anything to protect a really good Jaeger pilot. Tai's co-pilot Tigress is NOT one of those people. One day Tai loses control of his temper and, along with it, his memories during a mission. By the time the Furious Dragon returns to base, Tigress knows that Tai committed a murder for disgraceful reasons and by particularly dishonorable means. She refuses to work with him anymore and reports him, even though doing so endangers her own career. Now the most amazing team in the world is short a pilot-- soon to be short two pilots and a Jaeger if they don't find a new honorable pilot who is drift compatible with Tigress.
