Makoto Kino, known as Lita Kino in the original English dub, is a fourteen-year-old student in Usagi Tsukino's class who was rumored to have been expelled from her previous school for fighting. Unusually tall and strong for a Japanese schoolgirl, she transforms into Sailor Jupiter, the Guardian of Thunder and Courage. Since both of Makoto's parents died in a plane crash years ago, she lives alone and takes care of herself. She cultivates her physical strength and domestic interests, including housekeeping, cooking, and gardening. Makoto excels at hand-to-hand combat. Her dream is to marry a young, handsome man and to own a flower-and-cake shop.
