Movie
Description
Makoto Kikuchi is a 17-year-old idol under 765 Production. Raised by her professional race car driver father, who initially wanted a son, she developed a tomboyish demeanor. Her upbringing involved martial arts training at a local Aikido dojo and discouragement from feminine pursuits. This resulted in boyish mannerisms, athletic prowess, and self-taught dance skills that rank her among 765 Production's strongest dancers. Her notable physical strength allows her to lift peers easily. Visually, she has short black hair, violet eyes, and often wears a red and grey tracksuit. She stands 159 cm tall, weighs 44 kg, with measurements B75-W57-H78.
Despite her outward appearance, Makoto sincerely desires to embrace femininity, creating an internal conflict central to her character. She joined 765 Production after a discussion with her father about this wish, though alternative accounts suggest she sometimes pursued idol work independently without his knowledge. Her popularity, especially among female fans, earned her the titles "The Pretty-boy Idol" or "Prince of 765 Production," a reputation amplified at her all-girls high school where she frequently receives love letters and chocolate. Receiving more fan mail from girls than boys distresses her, as she associates it with her masculine image, though she values all supporters equally. A pivotal moment reinforcing her desire for femininity occurred when she played Romeo in a high school production; the actress playing Juliet became intensely attached, addressing her as "My lovely Romeo" and kissing her, leaving a lasting impact.
Makoto enjoys sports and collecting plush toys. Her fears include claustrophobia stemming from a childhood elevator incident and a pronounced terror of insects, often avoiding even saying their names. When angered, she occasionally slips into high-school-gangster slang despite efforts to maintain feminine speech. She demonstrates loyalty and protectiveness, particularly towards the timid Yukiho, sharing a close bond. Conversely, she frequently clashes with Iori over teasing about her androgyny. Makoto is prone to enthusiastic, unfiltered conversations, sometimes overlooking mockery, like when the Producer tricks her into incorrect greetings.
In broader franchise appearances, such as the movie *Kagayaki no Mukōgawa e!*, Makoto functions primarily as a supporting member of the 765 Production ensemble during the group's arena concert preparations and Haruka Amami's leadership challenges. Cameo appearances by idols from *Million Live!* and *Cinderella Girls* in the film's credits confirm a shared universe but do not involve Makoto directly.
