History Characters / SailorMoonMakotoKino

* AdaptationalBadass: While she is still the strongest, largest, and most skilled in hand-to-hand combat of the Guardians in the manga, she's basically a street brawler with no formal training (as she's shown losing to Haruka in a friendly UsefulNotes/{{Judo}} match). In the 90s anime she is legitimately a practitioner of Japanese martial arts and is shown practice katas, breaking bricks, and other exercises associated with higher belt levels and even exhibits some actual techniques from time to time including in her civilian form against Youmas.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Makoto has her unrequited love for her sempai, and she has a crush on Motoki who has a girlfriend. Averted in the live-action where she and Motoki really do get together.

* CareerVersusMan: Averted. At the start of the series, she is the only one of girls who is determined to have both. Her dream is to open her own flower and cake shop, but she also hopes to get married. In ''Special Act'', she is working towards opening that business and gets engaged to Motoki, and in ''Parallel Sailor Moon'', she succeeds because she and her unseen husband run the shop together.

* DoesNotLikeSpam: Averted. Unlike the rest of the team, she loves all foods.

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted in the manga: Makoto/Sailor Jupiter is the one who is supernaturally strong, and Minako/Sailor Venus merely trains a lot, and the one time they fought due to Makoto being BrainwashedAndCrazy Minako [[OneHitKO knocked her out with a single vicious kick]].

* OneSteveLimit: Averted, at least in the manga. One chapter of ''Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary'' featured a character named Makoto Hanmatsuura. This was the result of a ContestWinnerCameo, though, and the name was just a coincidence.

* BullyHunter: The rumors that she had to leave her previous school for fighting were based on Makoto fighting off delinquents who picked on more vulnerable children. In her introduction in the '90s anime she curb-stomps three delinquents who attempt to mug Usagi; a flashback in the [=SuperS=] season shows that she had enough of a reputation at her previous school that a group of boys tormenting Tomoko scatter at the sight of Mako. In another episode, she nearly attacks some students who are making fun of Ami, stopping only because Ami begs her to.

Now has her own [[SelfDemonstrating/SailorJupiterMakotoKino page]].

* FightsLikeANormal: She is prone to try and just beat the stuff out of her enemies, both as Makoto and as Sailor Jupiter. {{Justified|Trope}} as she tended to get into brawls before getting her powers and is a confirmed martial artist.

Despite her tall and fierce appearance and terrifying reputation, Makoto is a friendly, nurturing girl who enjoys traditionally feminine pursuits like cooking in addition to fighting and working out. Often seen pining for her old ''sempai'', who rejected her in the days before she transferred to Usagi and Ami's school. She's [[TheBigGuy the physically strongest]] of the Sailor Team, and it shows.

* BoobsOfSteel: Not only does she have the biggest bust, she is also the most physically powerful and skilled in hand-to-hand combat of the guardians.

Despite her tall and fierce appearance and terrifying reputation, Makoto is a friendly, nurturing girl who enjoys traditionally feminine pursuits like cooking in addition to fighting and working out. Often seen pining for her old ''[[SenpaiKohai sempai]]'', who rejected her in the days before she transferred to Usagi and Ami's school. She's [[TheBigGuy the physically strongest]] of the Sailor Team, and it shows.

* SenpaiKohai: She had this relationship before changing schools. Actually, she was in love with her sempai, but he rejected her because she wasn't his type and he didn't see their relationship as more than this.

* SmittenTeenageGirl: Well known for falling in love at the drop of a hat with any reasonably good-looking guy who crosses her path. Every time, she claims that her latest crush reminders her of the {{senpai|Kohai}} who broke her heart at her previous school.

Despite her brawny appearance and terrifying reputation, Makoto is a friendly, nurturing girl who enjoys traditionally feminine pursuits like cooking in addition to fighting and working out. Often seen pining for her old ''[[SenpaiKohai sempai]]'', who rejected her in the days before she transferred to Usagi and Ami's school. She's [[TheBigGuy the physically strongest]] of the Sailor Team, and it shows.

* BladeOnAStick: Her Jupiter Spear in the live-action.

* RedOniBlueOni: She can be either depending on who she is paired with. She is a more hot-blooded and boisterous red to Ami's calm and patient blue. She serves as the more laid-back blue compared to Rei's temperemental red, Usagi's ditzy red and Minako's boisterous red.

* UnskilledButStrong: She's physically the strongest of the group before Haruka comes along, but also one of the easiest to take down in battle just because she doesn't have Minako's expertise as a warrior.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Makoto has a deeper (but still feminine) voice than the rest of the inner soldiers, and is the tallest and strongest out of them, and a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak.

* CannotTellALie: 90s anime Makoto is so earnest it means she's ''horrible'' when it comes to subterfuge and easily the worst liar of all the inner soldiers. This is best exemplified when the girls need to protect Usagi's identity from Kaolinite, so they have Minako dress up as Sailor Moon. All Makoto can do is awkwardly, and loudly, declare that Rei's proclamation that Usagi is too much of a clumsy crybaby to ever be a Sailor Soldier is true.

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Her parents are dead, which is used to handwave why she lives alone. It makes it easier to keep up her double life because she doesn't have a family to hide things from.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Makoto[=/=]Sailor Jupiter had pink/strawberry-red hair in early manga art, but in both TheNineties anime and {{recursive|Adaptation}}ly, later manga art, it's brown. ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'' takes the middle ground by giving her light auburn hair. [[invoked]]

* BigEater: Downplayed, though her side story in "Exam Battle Chapter: Makoto's Melancholy" shows her obsession with cooking and eating, and she ends up overeating from stress. Her debut episode in the anime shows her almost ordering a big bowl of curry, then changing her order as she did not want to seem indelicate.

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted in the manga version: Makoto/Sailor Jupiter is the one who is supernaturally strong, and Minako/Sailor Venus merely trains a lot, and the one time they fought due to Makoto being BrainwashedAndCrazy Minako [[OneHitKO knocked her out with a single vicious kick]].

* GiantWaistRibbon: Super Sailor Jupiter, Eternal Sailor Jupiter.

* UnusualEuphemism: One episode had Makoto argue that she was best suited for the main role in a school play, [[BuxomIsBetter because she had the largest breasts]]. When [=DiC=] translated it for American broadcasting, she instead claimed to have the greatest talent. However, [[DubText there was no way for them to remove the rather unambiguous gesture that accompanied the line and its original meaning]]. Since then, SM fans enjoy using the word "talent" or "being talented" for... well, having large breasts.

* BadLiar: As explained in CannotTellALie, 90s Anime Makoto just doesn't have the temperament to lie.

%%* BarrierMaiden: Her future self in Crystal Tokyo.

* CannotTellALie: 90s Anime Makoto is so earnest it means she's ''horrible'' when it comes to subterfuge and easily the worst liar of all the inner soldiers. This is best exemplified when the girls need to protect Usagi's identity from Kaolinite, so they have Minako dress up as Sailor Moon. All Makoto can do is awkwardly, and loudly, declare that Rei's proclamation that Usagi is too much of a clumsy crybaby to ever be a Sailor Soldier is true.

* NeatFreak: In the manga version. At one point, she spends two days cleaning her apartment.

* PrecisionFStrike: In Makoto's debut in the manga, when a ghost bride possessed Motoki to trick her into falling in love with him, she lets one out and hoists the ghost over her head before transforming for the first time. She also does this twice in the live action. She also says "Kuso!" (a common Japanese swear word) at least twice in the ''Sailor Moon R'' movie.

* RunningGag: In the 90s anime, whenever she meets a boy, she will say he reminds her of her senpai (Japanese) / old boyfriend (English). Including a dog, once.

* StatuesqueStunner: Makoto is is tall for a Japanese girl, with her height being easily equal to that of many adult men and is also very beautiful and busty. Unfortunately, most people are more likely to be intimidated by her height than attracted.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Meatloaf and cherry pie (though she does love ''all'' foods).

* TransferStudentUniforms: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]; Usagi's school does not have a big enough uniform for her so she keeps her previous one. Thankfully when they reach high school the school has sizes that can catch up to her.

* TsurimeEyes: An [[ZigzaggedTrope on-and-off]] example in the '90s anime; while her eyes normally have the same innocent rounded shape as Usagi's, when she's angry or especially determined they shift to the narrower, sharper tsurime shape to emphasize the fierceness of her expression. Notably, she's the only character who does this, while everyone else's eye shapes remain consistent, highlighting the duality of her personality.
* UmbrellaOfTogetherness: A purely platonic one. When Makoto's sempai rejects her on a rainy day and she runs away, Shinozaki shares his umbrella with her as he comforts her through the heartbreak.
