Summary
Makoto (まこと) is a Street Fighter character from Street Fighter III 3rd Strike and Super Street Fighter IV. She is a tomboyish Japanese teenager looking to bring back the glory to her late father's dōjō. Although she's still young and a bit short, her karate form is very impressive.
Makoto's fighting style is Rindō-Kan karate, a very aggressive karate form. 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. She displays the "total victory with one hit" essence of karate.
Makoto loves the heat of battles, she fears no one, and will challenge any opponent. While she is still young, many fighters are impressed by her skill and power, and urge her to continue her training.
