![]() ![]() The English voice recording for Makoto in Super Street Fighter IV was considered a challenging task, because she used a specific Japanese dialect in Street Fighter III 3rd Strike.Makoto shares her name with her seiyū, Makoto Tsumura.Unfortunately, she enforces the rather counterproductive and regimental policy of rejecting aspiring students who are unable to defeat her first, and thus far none have. After her fight with Ryu, the publicity attracts a swarm of potential students to her dojo. Ultimately, she finds Ryu in 3rd Strike and challenges him in a fair and friendly fight to enhance her dojo's reputation. Although she didn't win any prize money after defeating honorable fighters, she did decide to rebuild her father's dojo by hand, and make money the old-fashioned way. Horrified to discover the decrepit state the dojo is in, she first enters S.I.N's tournament in Super Street Fighter IV in order to win money to renovate it. Since her father's death, Makoto's dojo has been floundering and her older brother decided to become a businessman, leaving Makoto to elevate her dojo back to its former glory. She develops something of a friendship with Ibuki, as shown by their alternate opening when they fight each other or train with each other. Although having little fashion sense for a girl her age, she still hates it when she is mistaken for a boy. Her karate style is very similar to that of Shotokan karate. Makoto is a young Japanese girl, trained in Rindoukan karate. That, plus its incredibly high stun, makes her very formidable against opponents who turtle and block. This also leads the opponent in a dazed faze, allowing for a follow-up combo. She grabs the opponent, holds them off their feet for a second and crunches their neck/collar bones. Her Karakusa command grab is incredibly effective. With her Tanden Renki, she demonstrates emotional strength in controlling her ki. She displays the "total victory with one hit" essence of karate. With calmly performed special moves, rapid movements and punches or kicks that have her full body weight behind them, she has a lot more power than expected from her small body. Makoto's fighting style is Rindoukan karate. Her trademarks are her father's white gi and a yellow headband (which she wears like a scarf around her neck). Although she's still young and a bit short, her black belt isn't just for show her karate form is very impressive. She has a very tomboy type personality and speaks with an uncommon Tosa dialect. A hot-headed, rough and tumble karate girl, Makoto was born into the prestigious Rindoukan (Bellflower) Karate dojo. ![]()
