Introduction:
Makoto (called Mako and Mako-chan by her friends) is the fourth sailor senshi to be discovered. She is very tall, and incredibly strong. When she first arrives at Juuban Junior High School as a new student, everyone is afraid of her because of the rumors that she was expelled from her old school for starting fights. Usagi, however, immediately becomes friends with her, especially after seeing the delicious lunches Mako brings to school! Makoto is an excellent cook, which is probably because she lives alone since her parents were killed in an airplane accident. Makoto wears a different school uniform than the other students because there weren't any in her size.
Makoto is a bit of a tom-boy as well. She isn't afraid of anyone, and doesn't have a problem standing up for what she believes in.
As Sailor Jupiter, Makoto has power over thunder, which also makes her one of the more aggressive senshi.

Introduction Speech:
Ikazuchi no hoshi, mokusei wo shugo ni motsu, hogo no senshi, Sailor Jupiter!
English: Protected by Jupiter, planet of lightning, the soldier of protection, Sailor Jupiter!

Transformation Phrases: Each transformation is slightly more powerful than the previous

Jupiter Power, Make Up!: Sailor Jupiter's first transformation phrase used during the first season.
Jupiter Star Power, Make Up!: Sailor Jupiter second transformation phrase used during the second season, Sailor Moon R. First appears in episode 65.
Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up!: Makoto transforms into Super Sailor Jupiter, her most powerful form, with this phrase. It first appears in episode 154 during the Super S season, and is used until the end of the series.

Attacks: Listed in the order they appear, usually weakest to most powerful.

Supreme Thunder: Sailor Jupiter's weakest attack used mostly during the first season. An antenna comes up out of her tiara which attracts lightning that she throws at the enemy.
Supreme Thunder Dragon: Very similar to her "Supreme Thunder" attack, only the lightning takes the shape of a dragon and is slightly more powerful. This attack was used in the R season, first appearing in episode 55.
Sparkling Wide Pressure: Sailor Jupiter's primary attack in the R season used after receiving her "Jupiter Star Power" transformation phrase; first appeared in episode 65. Sailor Jupiter gathers a ball of lightning which she throws at the enemy.
Jupiter Oak Evolution: Sailor Jupiter's final and most powerful attack, first appearing in episode 154 during the Super S season; used after receiving "Jupiter Crystal Power" transformation phrase. Her antenna comes up out of her tiara and she spins around sending out oak leaves (very dangerous oak leaves, might I say!) at the enemy. She uses this attack until the end of the season.
