Makoto (マコト) is Kaito's cousin. Like Kaito, he also believes in mermaids. He was more interested in finding his beloved mermaid whom he appeared to have seen and fallen in love with.
History
Anime
Makoto first appeared in Episode 21, when he came to the town that Kaito lives in to try and find some mermaids. One morning, when Lucia dove into the sea for a morning swim, he caught the sight of her in her mermaid form. Excited to have seen a real mermaid, he sketched the sight he had seen on his sketchbook.
When Makoto saw that there was going to be a mermaid beauty contest held by Maki, he saw it as a chance to find more mermaids. Before the contest was starting, he snuck into the girls' dressing room with a squirt gun filled with water. He sprayed some of the contestants with it. He later accidentally ran into the stall where Lucia was changing in and saw Lucia in her swimwear, causing him to blush and run out of the stall in embarrassment.
On the way out, he ran into Kaito. When Lucia was about to confront Makoto, she changed her mind to not confront him because of Kaito. Makoto noticed how Lucia seems to have a crush on Kaito. Later when Kaito asked him why he sprayed the girls with water, Makoto kept daydreaming about the mermaid he saw. He asked Kaito about the mermaid he had seen as well and ran off telling Kaito that he might have the chance to see her again.
When the results of the mermaid contest were about to be announced, Makoto came in with a water hose and began to spray the contestants again. Lucia, Hanon, Rina and Nikora dodged the water, accidentally spraying the Dark Lovers instead. Angrily, the Dark Lovers immediately began to chase him. Upon reaching the end of a dock, he jumped into the ocean, hoping that they wouldn't chase him anymore. However, as the Dark Lovers were water demons, they jumped in as well and quickly overwhelmed him with their powers.
Just before Makoto passed out, Lucia appeared from behind and took him up to the dock. Upon regaining consciousness, Makoto saw a pink mermaid peering over and asking him if he was all right. At that moment, Hanon called Lucia to warn her about Rina fighting the Water Demons alone. As Lucia and Hanon dove underwater to confront the Dark Lovers, Makoto, having heard the name "Lucia," realized that the mermaid he saw was Lucia.
He read the same book shown earlier in the episode, where he learned that if mermaids confessed their true identities to humans, they will turn into foam.
Later, after the Dark Lovers were driven away, he pulled Lucia aside and asked if she liked Kaito, causing Lucia to blush profusely. He explained that when he was little, Kaito told him stories about the mermaid he saw, so that's why he liked mermaids. He gave the drawing of mermaid Lucia to her as a gift, showing that he is aware of Lucia's mermaid identity, and said that it is their secret.
The next day, Makoto would bid farewell to Lucia and Kaito at a train station as he headed home, but not before earning a "mermaid" kiss on the cheek from Lucia as thanks for keeping her identity a secret.
Personality
Makoto is a shy and kind person, but also a big prankster. He was initially very persistent about revealing the secrets about mermaids being real, even causing some trouble along the way as he tried to physically reveal the truth. Eventually, he learned how mermaids would turn into sea form should they reveal their identity to others. Realizing the danger he had brought to the mermaids, Makoto changed his mind and decided to leave the mermaids alone, also keeping their identities a secret along the way.
Appearance
Makoto is small in height due to his age. He has short dark brownish grey hair and a spiky fringe. His eyes are hazel brown. He is seen wearing a red shirt and often carries his backpack.
