Description
Makoto Kashino is one of the three male leads in the series. He comes from a long line of doctors, and his parents initially disapproved of his decision to become a pâtissier. A condition for him to remain enrolled at St. Marie Academy is that he must always be at the top of his class. His dream is to become a first‑class chocolatier like his uncle, who inspired him to pursue chocolate confectionery. He is a specialist in chocolate sweets and is recognized as one of the school's Sweets Princes.
His personality is straightforward, unsociable, and prickly. He is highly self‑confident and often blunt in his interactions, which leads him to push others away. Aside from his childhood friend Sennosuke Andou, he initially rejects everyone, including his fellow Sweets Prince Satsuki Hanabusa and the Sweets Spirits. He is particularly cold toward Ichigo Amano at first, finding her clumsiness and cheerful disposition irritating. However, beneath his harsh exterior, he genuinely cares about those around him, especially Ichigo, though he struggles to express his feelings.
His primary motivation is to master chocolate‑making and to prove his abilities despite the pressure from his family. He holds himself and others to high standards and is deeply driven to excel in his craft. His role within the story centers on being a key member of the team that supports Ichigo’s growth. Initially acting as a critical and distant teammate, he gradually becomes more cooperative and emotionally open.
Key relationships include his long‑standing friendship with Andou, which serves as a foundation of trust and camaraderie. His dynamic with Ichigo evolves from antagonism to mutual respect and romantic interest. He also shares a partnership with the Sweets Spirit Chocolat, who assists him in his chocolate work. His bond with his uncle remains a significant source of inspiration.
Over the course of the series, Makoto undergoes significant development. A turning point occurs when he accepts that the team must work together, marking a shift from isolation to embracing camaraderie. He begins to open up emotionally, shows concern for his teammates, and becomes more willing to rely on others. In the second season, he skips a grade due to his top academic performance, continuing his path toward becoming a professional pâtissier.
His notable abilities lie in chocolate confectionery, where he demonstrates exceptional skill in both taste and artistic presentation. He is also academically gifted, consistently ranking at the top of his class. His creativity and passion for sweets set him apart as one of the most talented students at the academy.
