Powers
Sailor Jupiter is the strongest of the inner senshi both in terms of attacks and physical strength. She is also the tallest, and because of her height, must wear a different school sailor uniform from the other girls while a student at Juuban Middle School, as they did not have her size available.

- Fire Soul Bird - A more powerful version of Fire Soul that was in the shape of a pheonix and was used once in the R season
- Burning Mandala - Sailor Mars' upgraded attack that first appeared in the R season. Shoots rings of flame at her enemies.
- Mars Flame Sniper - Sailor Mars fires a fiery arrow at her enemies. First appeared in the SuperS season.
Personal life
Before moving to Juuban Middle School, Makoto bounced from school to school, often having to leave due to violence.
Makoto is an excellent cook. Her celestrial alliance with Jupiter, or mokusei (木星) in Japanese, indicates an inclination toward botany as well.
Depending on the series her dream is to either be the owner of a sweets shop or a flower shop.
Makoto constantly references an "old flame" of hers. The phrase she uses in Japanese is shitsurenshita senpai (失恋した先輩). Shitsuren shita means broken heart or unrequited love, while senpai is an senior student (for school) or colleague (at work); in other words, an older boy she was in love with. Throughout the series she makes constant references both to the boy himself, as well as an ideal of senpai for a romatic relationship. (See, for example, Episode 159, "Chibiusa's Little Rhapsody of Love" where Sailor Mars comments on this.)
Family
All known family are deceased.
Costume
Sailor Jupiter's primary color is green, with a pink bow. She wears rose earrings.
Trivia
- Jokes about Makoto's "Talent" are often made by fans. This is a reference to the DiC dub of Episode 56, "Steal Mamoru's Kiss! An's Snow White Strategy" where Lita says she should play the part of Snow White because she has more "talent," at the same time as her breasts are shown prominently on the screen. In the original, she says outright that she should get the part because of her breasts.
