The glasses he is currently donning are just aesthetical to his appearance; he used to wear actual glasses that improved his eyesight, but his eyes became better in his life. The lenses won't affect how he sees since he replaced them with fake ones. Short Bio: Makoto was born to a Japanese-American family that was living in America for the most part due to business in the states that his mother who was Japanese attended to. His father was a chef who owned his own restaurant and half of his childhood was spent under careful watch of his father or older sister. His sister would often tease him and often strike a heroic pose for the most part whenever her brother was under her care. From what he could easily discern, she must of felt really cool for protecting her younger brother, however in reality her brother did most of the protecting when trouble arose due to her own immaturity. Bailing her out wasn't uncommon to him and he frequently found himself getting dragged into trouble by his older sister. It did leave him with a bitter taste in his mouth, but to say the least he did enjoy it. It wasn't long before the family was drafted to Japan due to their mother gaining a promotion and a chance to work wherever her business was... however, she first consulted her family about this, and most of them agreed for the most part... And at the age of six, his father, his seven year old sister, and mother came to find themselves in Japan. As the boy grew older with his sister, she invited more trouble while gaining new interests in the world of gaming. However, unlike his sister Yui, Makoto wasn't ever considered one for games throughout his life, often finding himself engaging in other activities which didn't involved virtual reality. At a young age, none of it interested him to say the least, much to his older sisters chagrin who often tried to get him into video games. Makoto would often brush her off, calling it nothing more than a mere time waster to say the least. Makoto often spends his time performing Kendo, studying myriads of things to improve himself for the long run, ignoring all distractions that would of otherwise occupied his time for the most part. He acted rather adverse to his friends who would often attempt to trick him into frittering away his time on a program for their entertainment. To say the least, he did applaud their efforts and found it amusing to say the least before letting out a victorious laugh and a cocky smile. Makoto is noted by them to be rather adept at spotting these things in the long run which at the most causes them grief to an extent before they awkwardly join in. Either way, in an nutshell, his school career was fretted with hard work in which he pushed himself to the maximum potential, and he generated crushes to which he never fessed up to. On one uneventful evening, while he was hanging out with his friends they all pressured him to agree to an excruciatingly convoluted and somehow veiled deal. He already knew where this was going and begrudgingly agreed to their little deal, all of them giggling and smiling. He chuckled a bit, knowing full well that they must of had something set up for him that might snare him this time and get him to play a video game for the first time, or a VRMMORPG. The bet was to ask a girl out on a date before their friend Kazuki could, but before they could finish explaining the whole deal, he smugly cut them off, saying it was a deal. Even though he wasn't at all good with talking to girls, he still figured he could manage to appease them and beat them at their little game. His pride got the better of him as he wished he bit his tongue as they said he had to ask Aiko Yui, his sister, out on a date. Makoto immediately rejected the idea, but soon came to realize that he was snaged in their little trap with no way out. Since he was compelled by his hubris, he bitterly agreed to the little coup they manifested and asked them what game it was. Surprisingly enough, his sister popped out from inside a closet, carrying what looked to be very peculiar looking helmets... before tripping onto the rug and scattering out four peculiarly looking helmets. His sister Yui explained what they were and how she got in on the deal to try to finally get him to join in, and enviously shoved one towards him. From what he managed to collect was that helmet would of been for her had he not coolly agreed to the deal. Furthermore, only four out of the ten of them there (his sister being the tenth) could only participate. Once their little meeting was done, they all headed back to their homes to start it up. "... Gone?... That... No, he can't?..." Personality: Makoto is a rather intelligent young man with an efficient persona which he puts up for the most part, taking everything seriously as if it was forfeiting or fighting. He is rather quite adept at spotting inconsistencies and discerning volatile situations, his friends and late friends often commented on this, saying it was an innate ability, to which he coolly brushes them off. He acts with a no nonsense attitude, often chastising either his friends or sister for wasting their time on gaming since it was doing nothing more that decomposing their lives away for the most part. Makoto often finds himself pressured, to which he can effortlessly brush off or crumble under if the right conditions are met. He also thinks things through and never at all acts on instinct, unless it actually comes to him having to fight without thinking. Makoto also has an alleviated ego which can sometimes cause his downfall at times, such as his confrontation with having to perform such a ridiculous action. At times he can keep his hubris under control, and stay his tongue from speaking out. Even with his attitude which is against such folly, he will still have fun and enjoy his time for the most part. He is shown to have increasing loyalty towards his friends and will stubbornly stick with them till the end if their plan is plausible. If not, he will attempt to drag them out of the ongoing situation before it delves into darker territories. He is also very stalwart, and unwilling to back down from anything that dares harm his friends and considers them to be greater than the golden lust of the world. His friendliness to an extent comes from his sister who helped him out through his darkest hours, giving him hope for the future. Once reminded of this, he will unrelentlessly push on forward with no delay, maybe breaking the mold on how he acts. Makoto can also be described as dense at times when talking to a girl, and they can even go as far as to say that he gets a bit scatterbrained when doing so if he has a crush on them. This has lead to many accidental crushed hearts an awkward encounters that he feels guilty for, but he chooses to push on. Due to being in Kendo, Makoto is extremely competitive for the most part, and will often strive to better himself in the long run. If there is someone better than him, he will learn how to cause their downfall fairly without resorting to any dirty tactics that might soil their skills but reputation. The ambitious boy often can reach to far beyond his own expectations, and as a result may fall flat on his face at times. This can sometimes enrage him to the point where he will swear on that person to regain his honor and will hold a grudge against them. This is mainly due to when someone cheats him out of a victory and very rarely happens when someone falls him in a adequate duel. However, he is rather dignified and graceful in his losses, seeing them as a way to improve himself, unless they gloat over their victory... if there is anything worse than seeing a sore loser for him, its seeing a sore winner.
