When Chin Ho gets kicked out of the department, she is one of two people who believe he’s not guilty. Now, Steve McGarrett has put together a team called Hawaii Five-0, a new law enforcement team that answers only to the governor. On Chin Ho’s recommendation, Kono is recruited. She’s the youngest member and the only woman, but she is a valuable member, completely fearless.
Personality: lively, athletic, and funny. Kono still enjoys surfing, and she has a lot of energy. She jokes with her coworkers, and is up for anything. She is also extremely loyal, and doesn’t forgive herself easily when she makes mistakes. Because she’s still learning, she does occasionally mess up, but she is a capable cop, and her fellow Hawaii Five-0 members believe in her.

Hawaii Five-O is an American police procedural drama series produced by CBS Productions and Leonard Freeman. Set in Hawaii, the show originally aired for 12 seasons from 1968 to 1980, and continues in reruns. Jack Lord portrayed Detective Lieutenant Steve McGarrett, the head of a special state police task force which was based on an actual unit that existed under martial law in the 1940s. The theme music composed by Morton Stevens became especially popular. Many episodes would end with McGarrett instructing his subordinate to "Book 'em, Danno!", sometimes specifying a charge such as "murder one".
