[color=FFD700][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Strong-willed and just, Makoto does his best to do what is right. He is on the path of the straight and narrow, always focusing on the goal that is ahead and trying his best to not fall off that path. This can sometimes make him come off as a goody two shoe, but he is just doing it out of his good heart and nature. Mako is a genuine person who cares deeply for his friends and family, willing to do whatever it takes to have their approval as someone who is dependable and strong.

[color=FFD700][b]Fighting Style:[/b][/color]
With excellent reflexes and instincts, Makoto is a natural born fighter. He has above average hand-to-hand combat which allows him to be able to hold his ground in terms of his taijutsu and has a simple yet effective array of ninjutsu skills specializing in defense rather than offense, which is similar to his fighting style. He tends to take more hits rather than give it, but with his endurance and stamina Makoto always comes back knocking. The ninja's genjutsu skills are almost nonexistent and it doesn't help when he is going against it either.

[color=FFD700][b]Abilities:[/b][/color]
[b]Taijutsu:[/b] Makoto has natural instincts and reflexes which help him achieve a strong sense of hand-to-hand combat. He excels in tanking hits as he has a lot of stamina and endurance, taking in all the force and energy given to him and bursting it back to his opponents.

[b]Earth Release:[/b] With an affinity towards the earth element, Makoto is able to use most simple defensive techniques with ease. Most of his techniques are using the earth or rocks to harden his body even more to become a tanking punching bag.
