Makoto is sort of a tom-boy and has the reputation of a violent person. She is taller than than any average teenage girl and has incredible strength for her age. When she first met Usagi, she saved her by beating up some men that were giving Usagi a hard time (see the American Version of this scene). In fact, she trasferred to Usagi's school because she was expelled from her old school for fighting too much. In the first season, Makoto actually fought against Zoisite in hand to hand combat when she wasn't even transformed into Sailor Jupiter!! Ironically for a person of massive strength, Makoto is very skilled at cooking and cleaning. She dreams of having her own restaurent when she grows older. She also enjoys flowers. Almost every attractive man she sees reminds her of her old boyfriend. Makoto is like a mother to the Sailor Soldiers, especially Usagi. Usagi looks up to her and they both have lots of respect for each other.

  As Sailor Jupiter, she has excellent speed and not to mention strength. Her attacks are involved with lightning and thunder and are some of the strongest of the Soldiers. Besides her attacks, she will gladly fight in hand-to-hand karate combat with any oppenent. Though a skilled fighter with strong powers, she makes slight mistakes sometimes in battle and usually gets ahead of herself. She sometimes attacks an enemy before the Sailor Soldiers really know the true danger or conflict behind it. She is very confident of her ability, but sometimes too confident. Fortunately, she is always focused and determined on their mission.
