Unit: Trickstar
Club: Tennis Club
Makoto's the kind of guy who comes across as this upbeat, energetic presence—but honestly, he's not great at actually talking to people. Put him one-on-one with a girl and he basically freezes up. The whole idol thing is kind of his way of fighting back against that, pushing himself to communicate better through performance and public work.
He's weirdly good at digging up information, which is why the broadcasting committee leans on him so much. Show business wasn't exactly his dream—his parents got him into it young and it just stuck—but he's been around the industry long enough to know how things work. Oh, and he looks completely different without his glasses on. Like, actually attractive. Fans often note the difference is kind of shocking.
