We study an origin of fermion mass hierarchy based on an extension of the standard model with vector-like fermions, using a bottom-up approach. It is shown that a magnitude of elements of Yukawa coupling matrices can become $O(1)$ and a Yukawa coupling unification can be realized in a theory beyond the extended model, if vector-like fermions mix with three families. In this case, small Yukawa couplings in the standard model can be highly sensitive to a small variation of matrix elements, and it suggests that the mass hierarchy occurs as a result of a fine tuning.
