Like with Fei Long, she seeks Ryu out and challenges him to enhance her dojo's reputation. Similarly to Ibuki, most of Makoto's interaction with Elena comes from the side media. Makoto seeks to defeat Fei Long in order to increase her dojo's reputation.ĭespite their limited interaction in the games, Ibuki and Makoto both are portrayed as friends and occasional rivals in the side media.Įlena thinks of Makoto as a friend due to their shared interest in fighting, while Makoto just thinks she is weird and can't be taken seriously. While she is still young and inexperienced, many fighters are impressed by her skill and power, and urge her to continue her training.Īccording to Makoto's win quote against El Fuerte in Super Street Fighter IV, her favorite foods are sushi and sashimi. She fears no one, and will challenge any opponent. Makoto loves the heat of battles, and fights to revive the honor of her father's dojo. Although having little fashion sense for a girl her age, she still hates when she is mistaken for a boy. Makoto is tomboyish, brash and very competitive, always looking forward to new challenges she often accuses her opponents of sandbagging if the fight feels too easy. Her body is very well-built for her age and size. Her hair is short and somewhat messy, and she walks barefoot. Around her neck is a long, yellow hachimaki (headband) that hangs down behind her back. Makoto sports a karate gi with minor patches. Makoto quickly became the most popular character during location tests in both Japan and America. However her real brother can be seen in her ending. When combining the white dogi, hachimaki, black hair, Japan, the characteristics made her imagined to be Ryu’s little sister. Makoto likely draws inspiration from the young karate champion Kenka Fudō (拳華) from Lucha Doll Mai (ルチャDOLL舞), a manga Akiman is already aware of. Her normal attacks originate from Karate Master ( Karate Baka Ichidai), the move Fukiage is based on the move Yoshiji Soeno used to intercept a falling coconut after Masutatsu Ōyama demonstrates the true karate chop against a coconut tree. Kenka Fudō using a move that would be the inspiration for Hayate Makoto’s design was finished during 2nd Impact's development, but for various reasons, the team ran out of time and were unable to include her. At the time, Ryu and Ken became too supernatural while resembling American style of karate, so the team wanted Makoto to represent Japan’s style of karate. During the development of Street Fighter III, the team were asked to make a character based on ikken hissatsu: simple, direct, and powerful.
