- Sailor Jupiter's (Classic, R, S) dominant color was green (tiara gem, choker, collar, center of front bow, elbow fittings of gloves, skirt, and boots) and her accent color was pink (earrings, front bow, and back bow).

Musicals[edit]
|
| Mai Watanabe as Super Sailor Jupiter |
In the musicals, Sailor Jupiter was played by Kanoko, Marie Sada, Takako Inayoshi, Emika Satou, Akari Tonegawa, Chiho Ohyama, Emi Kuriyama, Yuriko Hayashi, Ayano Sugimoto, Kaori Sakata, Karina Okada (CD only), Mai Watanabe, Yu Takahashi, Kaede, Ami Noujo, Minami Umezawa, Kie Obana, Kanna Matsuzaki, Shio Yamazaki, Junna Ito, Kisara Matsumura, Mao Ioki, and Nao Tomisato. She had one image song, "Zigzag Slash."
Costume[edit]
Sailor Jupiter's sailor fuku in the Bandai run of the musicals had two major versions:
- In the first version, Sailor Jupiter's bows, glove fittings, and sleeves were pink, while her skirt, collar, and choker were green. The brooch attached to the front bow was diamond-shaped and golden, with green gems. She also had a golden diamond in the center of her choker and golden diamond earrings. Later versions of the costume changed her sleeves to green and her earrings, center of front bow, and choker ornament to golden flowers. All of the trim on her costume, as well as the stripes on her collar, was gold. This version was never seen after Sailor Moon S - Henshin - Super Senshi e no Michi (Kaiteiban).
- The second version was essentially faithful to her "Super" version in the manga and anime. At first the colors were the same as her previous costume, although she now had two layers of skirts: the top one was green and the bottom one was pink; later versions of the costume changed her glove fittings to green instead of pink. Her choker ornament was a golden star with a green circle and the Jupiter symbol in the center. The brooch on her front bow was a heart-shaped green gem ringed in gold. Her earrings were round and gold, with a green gem in the center.
In La Reconquista, her bows were pink, her glove fittings, top skirt, choker, and collar were green, and her bottom skirt was a dark green. Her sleeves were white with green ornamentation, and her front bow, top skirt, and part of the fuku had gold trim.
In Nogizaka46 "5th Generation" Version Musical 2024, she will wear the Rose Belt that she had in the reprint manga and live-action series.
Video Games[edit]
Powers[edit]
In the video games in which she appeared, Sailor Jupiter used the powers standard to her appearances in other versions of canon, but the following are powers unique only to the video games.
Attacks[edit]
- Jupiter Kick - Used in the Sailor Moon arcade game.

Trivia[edit]
- Amongst the Inner Senshi, Makoto/Sailor Jupiter was the strongest physical fighter (while Usagi/Sailor Moon would be the strongest in terms of magical power). However, in episode 96 during the S season, she and Haruka/Sailor Uranus engaged in a scuffle which indicated that Haruka was even stronger still. However, Haruka's wrist was injured by a blow from Makoto, and she noted that Makoto was perhaps an equal match.
- Jupiter, her guardian planet, is the largest planet in the Solar System. This cloud cloaked giant is also notable for its turbulent weather, e.g. huge storms, lightning, etc.
- In the first four arcs of Sailor Moon Crystal, roses appeared in the backdrop of Sailor Jupiter's signature pose as she gave her introductory speech.
