Makoto Kino (木野 まこと, Kino Makoto, renamed "Lita Kino" in some English adaptations), better known as Sailor Jupiter (セーラージュピター, Sērā Jupitā), is a fictional character in the Sailor Moon manga series created by Naoko Takeuchi. Makoto is her sailor form's alternative human identity as part of the Sailor Guardians, female supernatural fighters who protect the Solar System from evil.
In the series, Makoto is the third Sailor Guardian to be discovered by Usagi Tsukino, and serves as the "coordinator" of the group,[1] as she possesses superhuman strength, as well as powers associated with electricity and plants.
Aside from the main body of the Sailor Moon series, Makoto features in her own manga short story, The Melancholy of Mako-chan. A number of image songs mentioning her character have been released as well, including the contents of three different CD singles.
