Who is Makio?
Makio is a supporting character in “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.” She is a ninja and one of Tengen Uzui’s wives. Makio is a young woman with an average height and a curvaceous figure. Her complexion is fair, and she has large, golden brown eyes with prominent eyelashes on both the upper and lower lids, as well as slender, downward-arching eyebrows that give her a resolute and strong-willed appearance. Her black hair is pulled back, with loose golden-brown bangs that softly frame her face.
She is typically seen in a red, sleeveless, striped dress that stops at mid-thigh, which also displays her cleavage. The dress is cinched at the waist with a black obi, where she keeps her kunai hidden. Around her calves and thighs, she has gray bandages wrapped snugly. For footwear, she wears traditional zōri sandals with red straps. When held captive by Daki, she bears visible cuts and bruises on her body.
Makio’s Personality and Background
Makio’s demeanor is reminiscent of Inosuke Hashibira’s: she’s forthright and self-assured. Among Tengen Uzui’s wives, she is the least patient with Suma. This impatience was evident when they battled Daki’s obi in the underground cavern, where Makio chastised Suma for her condescending attitude. Later, when the trio was reunited, Makio did not hesitate to reprimand Suma with a slap and a sharp rebuke for making thoughtless comments about Hinatsuru’s perilous situation.
Despite her assertive and vigorous nature, Makio reveals a gentler facet in her interactions with Tengen. After the intense battle that jeopardized Tengen’s health, she exhibited genuine concern for him. Her relief was palpable, and she was seen clinging to him when Nezuko’s healing abilities restored his well-being.
Makio, along with Suma and Hinatsuru, became one of Tengen Uzui’s wives at a certain juncture in her life. Subsequent to departing from her clan, she and her family embarked on a journey to meet Kagaya Ubuyashiki, with the intent to join the fight as members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Previously, Makio, together with Suma and Hinatsuru, received guidance from Tengen on a philosophy that prioritized their own safety above all, followed by the well-being of respectable humans, and Tengen’s life last. Privately, Makio was uncertain about this creed, as it contradicted the principles ingrained in them as kunoichi. However, Hinatsuru reassured her, affirming the importance of valuing their own lives.
