Makoto Kikuchi is a 17-year-old idol affiliated with 765 Production, standing 159 cm tall and weighing 44 kg, born on August 29. Her puchidol counterpart Makochi accompanies her across media appearances. Raised as a boy by her professional race car driver father—who initially wanted a son—Makoto developed a tomboyish persona and athletic prowess, mastering martial arts like aikido and karate. This background earned her the nickname "pretty-boy idol," drawing a largely female fanbase. However, she wrestles with this image, actively pursuing a more feminine identity. Her idol career emerged from this desire for reinvention, though sources conflict on whether her father connected her with 765 Production or she joined alone.

A self-taught dancer, Makoto ranks among 765 Production’s most formidable performers, leveraging her athleticism to lift fellow idols or staff with ease. Her hobbies include plush toy collecting and sports participation. Notable traits include claustrophobia from a childhood elevator incident and severe entomophobia that prevents her from naming insects. When angered, she sometimes slips into delinquent slang despite striving for refinement, and she rambles nervously when teased about her androgynous traits. A pivotal high school role as Romeo in *Romeo and Juliet* intensified her discomfort with masculine perceptions after the actress playing Juliet grew overly attached, fueling Makoto’s resolve to embrace femininity.

She shares a close friendship with Yukiho Hagiwara and represents initiatives like Tamashii Nations as a dance ambassador alongside peers. While grateful for all supporters, Makoto shows subtle disappointment when female fan mail outnumbers male, highlighting her ongoing tension between public persona and personal aspirations.
