[edit] Profile
A hot-headed, rough and tumble karate girl, Makoto was born into the prestigious Rindoukan (Bellflower) Karate dojo. She has a very tomboy type personality and speaks with an uncommon Tosa dialect. Although she's still young and a bit short, her black belt isn't just for show; her karate form is very impressive. Her trademarks are her father's white gi and a yellow headband (which she wears like a scarf around her neck).
Makoto's fighting style is Rindoukan karate. With calmly performed special moves, rapid movements and punches or kicks that have her full body weight behind them, she has a lot more power than expected from her small body. She displays the "total victory with one hit" essence of karate. With her Tanden Renki, she demonstrates emotional strength in controlling her ka.
[edit] Story
The prestigious Rindoukan karate dojo was reduced to a shadow of its former self when Makoto's father and instructor Masaru passed away. With her brother an untrained office worker and the only other master martial artist in the family her elderly grandfather, Makoto had to step up to her newfound responsibilities.
Makoto threw herself into the street fighting world to spread the name of Rindoukan around the world, and to bring business back to her deserted dojo.
[edit] Trivia
She makes a cameo in Capcom Fighting Evolution, at the Japanese Street stage, climbing a bus right behind Dan.
During the conception stage, Makoto's character was planned on being the younger sister of Ryu, but this was changed.
It is possible that she is friends with Ibuki and Elena, since there is official artwork showing the three young women together dressed in school uniforms.
