Makoto Saitō (斎藤 誠 born April 16, 1974 in Nerima, Tokyo, Japan?), better known by his stage name K-ness. (クネス Kunesu?), is a Japanese professional wrestler for Dragon Gate. He is currently working under the ring name Jimmy K-ness J.K.S. (ジミークネスJ.K.S. Jimīkunesu J.K.S.?)

Saitō debuted in Michinoku Pro around the same time as Yoshito Sugamoto, and then went on to wrestle on the Japanese indy circuit.

He joined Tōryūmon in 1999 as MAKOTO, with a vampire style gimmick. As MAKOTO he was a member of the legendary Crazy Max stable. However, he did not get along with TARU, and eventually was kicked out of the stable after losing to TARU in a loser leaves match.

He returned to Tōryūmon as Darkness Dragon, a takeoff on the Ultimo Dragon lineage, joining heel stable M2K. With the help of his stablemates he became a main event performer. He had a bitter feud with Dragon Kid that ended in 2002 with Kid winning the feud after winning a best of 3 falls mask vs mask match. Darkness Dragon unmasked and briefly went face, forming a face stable called Do FIXER with Kid and Ryō Saitō. His face turn, however, was a ruse designed to cause dissention between the faces. He would soon turn heel again, joining the remnants of M2K and revealing that they were the real Do FIXER. He remasked and reinvented himself as K-ness, and engaged in a major feud and rivalry with YOSSINO.
