Information | Name Origin | Extras/Image Gallery




click for larger version Makoto Hanmatsuura is the owner of the Hammer Price Shrine, a small pawnshop that has been in his family's care for 18 generations. His birthday is 27 October, his blood type is B, and his hobby is embroidery. His dream is to turn the pawn shop into a nicer place. The previous owner of the shop made several bad business deals, resulting in a landraising deal that Makoto is forced to honour. Greedy land developers evict him and destroy the shop. Two young shoppers at the pawnshop, Naruru Osaka and Ruruna Kobe dress in Sailor suits and attempt to defend the shop from the land developers. However, Makoto has been told by his grandmother since childhood click for larger version that destroying the storehouse would release an evil spirit, and it did. A mist appears from a crack in the wall, and the spirit Otakura emerges. Naruru, Ruruna, and Makoto are sucked toward the storehouse by a vortex of air. Makoto quickly dons a mask and cape, and uses a net to bring the two girls to safety. He calls himself Debutcho Kamen, meaning Chubby Mask. Sailor Moon and Sailor ChibiMoon destroy Otakura, and Naruru and Ruruna tear the land developers' contract to shreds, ensuring that the Hammer Price Shrine belongs only to Makoto. Later, Makoto rebuilds the pawnshop as a skyscraper. He appears only in the manga, in Volume 17, ChibiUsa's Picture Diary #4. He never appears in the anime.
