Makiko is a female Tamagotchi character who appears as a supporting student at Tamagotchi School in the film Tamagotchi the Movie. She is recognizable by the distinctive swirls of hair on either side of her head, which she takes great pride in maintaining. Her personality is marked by a noticeable vanity, especially regarding her hairstyle; she is quick to discuss how perfect her curls are and once asks the human girl Tanpopo whether her haircut is fashionable on Earth. Makiko has a tendency to act superior and can be snobbish, often pointing out perceived flaws in others, particularly Memetchi, whom she treats as a friendly rival. Despite this, she is not malicious and does care for her fellow Tamagotchi friends. Her primary motivation revolves around social status and personal appearance, and she dislikes rain because she fears it might spoil her carefully styled hair. In the movie, her role is relatively minor but contributes to the school setting, where she interacts with the main characters during classroom scenes. Her key relationship is a rivalry with Memetchi, a dynamic that persists throughout the franchise but remains lighthearted. Makiko does not undergo significant character development in this film; she serves as a consistent representation of a fashion-conscious, slightly boastful peer. Her notable abilities are not supernatural but rather her expertise in hair styling and a flair for dramatic self-presentation.
