Makoto's Parents



Makoto Kino's parents died in a plane crash at some point before the series began. Makoto lives alone in an apartment. It is unclear where her financial support comes from, so fans must speculate - insurance, a distant relative, and unknown part-time job? Makoto is terribly afraid of airplanes, and just hearing one overhead can send her into a panic. Even airplane advertisements make her uneasy.

Makoto is an only child.

A mistake was made in the North American dub. In Sailor Moon S, when Serena is trying to sell kittens to the girls, Lita said that she couldn't have one because her mother couldn't stand them. In the original version, she actually said that she couldn't afford one because she lives alone.
