Makoto wears a white dōgi and a yellow hachimaki around her neck, intended to demonstrate her speed and trajectory. Voiced by Makoto Tsumura in Japanese, Makoto speaks in Tosa dialect, which was accomplished by the development team hiring a professional to supervise the sound development.

However, after his death, attendance dwindled, and with her brother pursuing a career in business, she is forced to increase the dojo's popularity.
Makoto is a young female karate master from the rural Tosa Province of Japan introduced in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. She returns as a playable character in Super Street Fighter IV in which her father Masaru (マサル) was the previous master of the once prosperous Rindōkan (竜胆館) karate dojo, which has greatly dwindled in attendance ever since the death of Makoto's father. With her brother having chosen not to follow the path of a martial artist by focusing more on the career of a business man, Makoto is left with the sole task of reviving her school's popularity. In her ending, Makoto becomes a young martial arts prodigy after defeating Ryu and numerous other fighters, attracting countless numbers of students interested in learning the art of the Rindōkan school. In Super Street Fighter IV, Fei-Long acts as Makoto's rival.
