Makoto Tsukauchi is Naomasa Tsukauchi's younger sister and the General Manager of the Captain Celebrity Corporation.
Appearance#
Makoto is described as an attractive young woman of slim build and standing tall in height. She has mid to lower back length, jet black hair that is parted off to the right, dark colored eyes that are typically concealed with bright green colored contacts, and a mole located on the lower left corner of her mouth.
Given the job she works for, Makoto is seen dressing quite fashionably and is always seen with gold-colored hoops for accessories.
Personality#
Makoto is an intelligent, independent, and studious woman who possesses a strong determination towards her goals. She is generally kind and pleasant, but always knows how to get her way and isn't afraid to do some slightly underhanded methods to reach them. She appears to be popular and quite social and generally gets along with just about anyone she meets. By and large, she appears to be an average Japanese university student. Shoko Haimawari, Koichi's mother, considers Makoto to be the ideal daughter-in-law and completely out of Koichi's league.
When it comes to organizing and leading groups, there isn't really a better ally to have than Makoto. She is very good at getting people to work together, and while a bit manipulative, she tends to make things better for everyone involved. She is practically running Captain Celebrity's PR department and helps manage the event where Pop☆Step makes her stage debut.
Makoto also has a rebellious personality. She is quite predisposed to challenge the rules and authorities, although never to the point of committing anything illegal. According to her brother Naomasa, she has always been like this since she was a child, breaking the rules and promises when it suits her and trying to talk her way out of it, and this attitude has caused some disagreement between the siblings.
Abilities#
Detective Skills: Like her brother, Makoto is shown to be proficient in gathering information.
Quirk#
Polygraph (嘘発見器 Porigurafu): Makoto's Quirk allows her to monitor the physiological signals of any person she touches, allowing her to determine whether or not someone is lying. However, she can't detect a lie if the person is relaxed or if the person in question doesn't believe they're lying. She also needs to be very careful with what questions she asks, as shown when she tried to expose Koichi by asking if he was the Crawler, only to ask if he was the Cruller, which inadvertently allowed him to dodge the accusation.
