Name: Kino Makoto (Sailorjupiter)
Age: 14 at start of series
Apparent Gender: Female
Evident Sexual Preference: Questionable. Largely heterosexual (or, at least, attracted to any male resembling her sempai). Arguments are frequently made that her attraction to Haruka in episode 96 is platonic, out of admiration. Certainly, Makoto expresses an ultimate preference for men.
Relationships/Liasons: Mysterious sempai (unrequited?); Haruka (crush; debatable); Nephrite (Artbook 1 only)
Gender Role Issues: Expelled from several schools due to violent behavior; usually quite tomboyish (describes herself in episode 96 as a "big girl like man" in one translation). Aspires to be a housewife; has learned to cook partly in order to please a future husband.
Miscellaneous: Has female-female sexuality occasionally thrust upon her. English dub has her cross-eyed over a dog ("he looks like my old boyfriend, Matt, only way more hunky"). Apparently early puberty and severe growth spurts land her in a nonstandard school uniform for four series; she does not seem too concerned with this, but is quite proud of her comparatively large breasts in R ("Doom Tree" arc; "talents" in the dub).
