Makoto is a [[Wild Card]] who starts with [[Orpheus]] as his initial Persona and can wield multiple Personas in battle. By visiting the [[Velvet Room]], he can fuse new Personas, setting him apart from his allies. Additionally, by having certain Personas to be summoned, he can use [[Fusion Spell]]s to do a variety of effects. In ''[[Persona 3 Portable]]'', Fusion Spells instead can be achieved by visiting the [[Mayoido Antiques]]. In ''[[Persona 3 Reload]]'', the same effect can be achieved with his [[Theurgy]], and players are only required to have the Personas needed for the specific Theurgy to be in the [[Compendium]]. By researching internet websites on the [[Iwatodai Dorm]] computer, Makoto can also learn new field skills for ambushing Shadows in [[Tartarus]]. In battle, Makoto is able to use a variety of weapons that can deal all sorts of damage type. He must be in the party at all times, and dying would have players receive a game over. In ''Portable'' and ''Reload'', he would later stick to his one handed sword that deals [[Slash]] damage to his opponents. <br/><br/>Makoto later appears in ''[[Persona Q]]'' and ''[[Persona Q2]]'', as well as a main dancer in ''[[Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight]].

He focuses on an all-around focus on magic, with a focus on fire.
