Noel Makimura is a middle-aged man who serves as the father of Miki Makimura and Taro Makimura and the husband of Akiko Makimura. He is of average height and build, with brown hair, a lighter-colored mustache and goatee, and jungle green eyes. He is a kind-hearted individual who wholeheartedly welcomes Akira Fudo into his home, treating him as a member of the family because of Akira’s long-absent parents. A devout Christian, Noel lives his faith openly: he says grace before meals and frequently recites passages from the Bible to teach moral lessons to his children and to Akira. His belief system centers on compassion, gratitude, and familial love, values he tries to pass on to the young people in his care.

Within the story, Noel’s primary role is that of a stable, nurturing parent figure. His household provides Akira with the only real sense of belonging and normalcy he experiences. Noel’s kindness and acceptance contrast sharply with the escalating chaos and paranoia that eventually engulf the world. His motivations are rooted in protecting his family and maintaining a peaceful, faith-filled home. He does not possess any supernatural or combat abilities; he is an ordinary human.

Noel’s key relationships are with his wife Akiko, his children Miki and Taro, and Akira, whom he regards as a son. He supports Akira’s presence in the family without question and shows no fear or distrust of him even as rumors of demons spread. As society descends into mass hysteria, Noel and his wife become victims of the violence—they are killed by the police, and their bodies are later buried by Akira outside the city. His death marks a pivotal loss that strips Akira of the last remnants of a safe, human life. Noel’s development is minimal because he appears only in the early parts of the series, but his unwavering decency and faith underscore the tragedy of a world that destroys innocence along with evil.
