Bio/Background:

A young and highly respected Judo prodigy from Japan, Makoto excelled in the form since she was a child. She is a blackbelt (or "First Dan"rank), as evident by her belt. Makoto is even referenced as being the “current Gold Medalist in the 50kg class.” This is likely in reference to the 2004 Olympics- making her the Women's (48-52kg) Champion.

Despite all of her accomplishments, Makoto enters the Rumble Roses Tournament in order to 'avenge' herself against a girl (Aigle) who defeated her in the past. Learning that Aigle had entered the tournament was reason enough for her- the young champion desired only to be able to finally confront and defeat her mysterious adversary.

Along the way, Makoto would become friends with fellow competitors Reiko Hinomoto and Aigle. Makoto and Nomadic Aigle would go onto form a successful Tag-Team called The Great Beautiful Strong Pair.

 

Personality:

Makoto is a young, energetic, and cheerful girl. She's eager to prove herself and her skills to the world by winning the Rumble Roses Tournament.

With most of her time spent in Judo dojo, she is somewhat naive about some things. Despite her young age, she's very much aware of her responsibilities as an athlete and 'celebrity'. Makoto is outgoing and friendly with others, and quickly forms close friendships with Reiko Hinomoto and Aigle, forming a successful and formidable partnership with the latter.

As one of the youngest contenders (and one of the smallest), Makoto possesses a youthful personality and looks. As such, her femininity is much more downplayed than many of her competitors. She seems content to portray herself as "cute" rather than sexy.

She appears to have some interest in becoming a singer one day, a desire that she backs up by incorporating singing and dancing into her introductions. Her bright and energetic personality is reflected in both her music and her singing during her intro and walk to the wring.

 

Fighting Style:

Makoto's initial striking power and physical stats are comparatively low. However, she makes up for this with her superb agility and speed, as well as some of the best reversing abilities in the game. If the player takes the time to improve her striking power, and building up her muscle and body mass, then she can become one of the best fighters in the game.

These limitations should still be considered during matches... Even with her strength and endurance built up, Makoto is not a head-on fighter. She's extremely agile and quick on her feet, and is arguably the best at reversing her opponents' attacks. Clumsy strength-based fighters (such as Aisha) will be at an extreme disadvantage against her, as Makoto can easily outmaneuver them in the ring. With mastery of timing, she can reverse her enemies into formidable holds and throws that can make up for her comparatively weak strikes.

Conversely, Makoto can only take so much body damage before she sustains an injury. This obviously becomes a serious liability to her in a match. Her small size and stature makes her vulnerable to the body blows and holds of strength-based fighters (like Dixie Clemets). She's not best served in regular fights... However, her reverses make her extremely well suited for Pure Humiliation Matches.
