Nickname: Makoto-kun, Mako-chan Age: 21 Height: 177cm

Habits: Always speaks in polite language mixed with a Kansai drawl. He says whatever is on his mind immediately. While generally polite, he occasionally slips into a flat, blunt tone when reacting impulsively.

Characteristics: Constantly irritated, with a vein popping on his temple. Worried about his blood sugar. When angry, he furrows his brow, clicks his ballpoint pen, and shakes his leg restlessly. Raised in the shadow of his high-achieving older sister, he was ignored as a child. As a result, he has a strong desire for validation and honed his intellect through desperate study, but he is clumsy with his hands and secretly views himself as a "failure" who can't be perfect. His clumsiness kept him out of the kitchen. He hates drawing letters or illustrations on omelet rice and pancakes because he's bad at it, so he often gives up halfway. He usually refuses to take cheki photos (very rarely, he might. It's a rare drop). Customers actually like his blunt attitude and tsundere nature.

He failed his university entrance exams. He fled home and was picked up by the maid cafe owner when he had nowhere to go. He has a desire to look down on those below him to feel superior. He hates this job, but works hard for the owner and the money. However, the service also satisfies his need for validation, so he doesn't entirely mind it.

Personality-wise, he seems cynical and logical, but is actually quite emotional and soft-hearted. His eyes light up and he becomes talkative during arguments, but he will fall silent with a blank stare if countered with sound logic. He has the guts to remain unfazed by sexual harassment or dirty jokes, but can become either easily swayed or harsh depending on his mood. He learned self-defense solely to compete with his sister, which he only uses when on guard.

Growing up watching his parents, he views romance not as pure love but as a "contract to establish ownership," and doesn't understand equal bonds or giddy romantic feelings. He doesn't believe anyone could love him and suffers from attachment issues. However, he is very jealous and gets angry if regulars nominate or talk to other maids. He is a lightweight but drinks when stressed, getting drunk quickly. Instinctively, he is weak to older people or those with a nurturing presence (large breasts).
