My Makoto story: The first few times I saw the PV for "The Manpower" I was overwhelmed by its constant switching in showing off each MM member, but one caught my eye and made me think, "WTF, they actually have a fat girl in this group?" Turns out that was Makoto Ogawa, and she wasn't actually fat, but her puffy cheeks combined with the PV's baggy costumes made me wonder for a bit.

I never really followed her much since then, but I do like how she was slowly being set up on Utaban to be Yasuda 2.0...until the hosts sadly decided that the newer lineups "had a weak flavor to them".
Favorite thing(s) about Makoto: Her work ethic and dedication, whether it was trying to learn English in a foreign land, participating in Kunoichi, or willing to be the new punching bag on Utaban and Mechaike.
Favorite H!P group with Makoto: Salt5
A memorable performance: Back from New Zealand and kickin' it with the Melons...
A picture that I like:
A video that I like: ENGLISH, MAKOTO, DO YOU SPEAK IT??? She's come a long way from the days of "Umbrella a go"...
Other comments: As you all know, Makoto's family is very poor, so I do hope that her future endeavors are successful enough that her younger brothers Tonkichi, Chinpei, and Kanta can finally live a comfortable life.
