Makima (Japanese: マキマ, Hepburn: Makima) is a fictional character from Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga series Chainsaw Man. She is the main antagonist of Part 1, the "Public Safety Saga", and is the caretaker of main character Denji, promising him food and shelter if he comes under her care and threatening him with death otherwise. Throughout Part 1, Makima serves as the leader of Public Safety Division 4's Devil Hunters, manipulating the events of the series behind the scenes and revealing more of her true nature as they unfold.
In the anime adaptation, she is voiced by Tomori Kusunoki in Japanese and Suzie Yeung in English. The character was praised by critics and reviewers due to the juxtaposition of her enigmatic nature and horror elements with her soft femininity and nurturing facade. Since the series' debut, Makima has proven to be one of its most iconic and popular characters, making appearances in merchandise and collaborative events.
