Standing 168 cm tall, Makoto Kino is the tallest Inner Sailor Guardian. Her wavy chestnut or auburn hair is typically pulled into a ponytail secured by a green hair tie, consistently adorned with pink rose earrings. Her imposing stature and strength often lead others to mistakenly perceive her as a delinquent, contrasting sharply with her true nature. Living independently since childhood after her parents died in a plane crash – an event that instilled a lasting fear of flying – Makoto honed exceptional skills in cooking, gardening, and household management. She aspires to open a combined flower and bakery shop and desires marriage, reflecting her appreciation for domestic and romantic pursuits alongside her athletic capabilities and martial arts proficiency. Transforming with phrases like "Jupiter Power, Make Up!" and later "Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up!", she becomes Sailor Jupiter. Her powers center on electrokinesis and plant manipulation, wielding attacks such as "Supreme Thunder," "Sparkling Wide Pressure," "Jupiter Coconut Cyclone," and "Jupiter Oak Evolution." Her tiara's gem extends into a lightning rod during electrical attacks. In battle, she serves as the physically strongest Inner Guardian, frequently utilizing her superhuman strength for direct confrontations. Her Sailor Guardian uniform evolves significantly. The base form features a dark green sailor collar, skirt, boots, and choker, accented by light pink bows and white shoulder pads. As Super Sailor Jupiter, modifications include a single white collar stripe, a heart-shaped brooch, translucent shoulder pads, and an elongated back bow. The Eternal Sailor Jupiter form, attained using the Jupiter Crystal, presents a star-shaped tiara gem, a V-shaped choker with a yellow star, knee-length white boots with green star accents, light green bubble sleeves, a two-toned skirt, and extended gloves with green wristbands. She debuted this form during the conflict with the Dead Moon Circus in "Sailor Moon Eternal," receiving the Jupiter Crystal from Guardian Jupiter under attack by Hawk's Eye and the Amazoness Quartet. Makoto is the present-day incarnation of Princess Jupiter from the Silver Millennium era, who resided in Io Castle on Jupiter. Supplementary materials and "Sailor Moon Crystal" suggest a past romantic connection with Nephrite, one of Queen Beryl's Four Heavenly Kings, though "Eternal" does not explore this deeply. In her civilian life, she often experiences unrequited romantic interests, including a notable rejection by a senior student before transferring to Usagi Tsukino's school, contributing to her initial solitude. Despite her intimidating exterior, she forms close friendships, showing particular protectiveness towards Usagi and camaraderie with Ami Mizuno. She exhibits a strong sense of justice, frequently intervening against bullies and using her strength to defend others, as seen when confronting students harassing Ami over academic rumors. During the "Sailor Moon Eternal" films, Makoto plays a critical role against the Dead Moon Circus. Targeted by Hawk's Eye, who exploits her nightmares to trap her, she overcomes this psychological attack. She transforms using the Jupiter Crystal to become Super Sailor Jupiter and later Eternal Sailor Jupiter, participating in the collective effort to defeat Queen Nehelenia and restore peace to Elysion alongside the other Sailor Guardians.
