== Charactah Account ==
Maki is a girl whose SHSL talent was recognized while she was helping out at an orphanage that raised her at the same time. Because she's good at taking care of others and despite not being very sociable, children love her. She's good at caregiving, but she doesn't even like children, so why do kids like her? Maki has a cute face but isn't friendly, and because she dislikes people, she's pretty uncooperative. Because she doesn't say much, she's the type to state things clearly. She isn't the type to assertively act on her own, but she's got guts.
Despite her cute appearance, Maki is described as a hostile misanthrope of few words. She is very aware that she comes across as unfriendly and prefers to be alone. In general, she dislikes people and thus she is not very cooperative and can be stubborn. She talks very little, so when she does, she states things clearly and she appears to be very confident about her arguments. She is cynical and negative with a sharp tongue and sometimes talks in a cold sarcastic manner. While not the type to assertively act on her own, she is stated to have guts and willing to take action when it suits her. She has no problem blaming Kaede coldly and rudely multiple times. She was also shown to be very openly irritated by people who believe in the supernatural, such as Kaito's fear of ghosts and Korekiyo's seances. She bluntly told Korekiyo that she finds his beliefs stupid right to his face.

== Trivia ==
* The nickname given to Maki by Kaito, "Harumaki", is a type of spring roll. In the English localization, this was changed to "Maki roll", a type of rolled sushi wrapped in nori.
* Maki, along with K1-B0 and Kaito, was the first new character revealed for Danganronpa V3 in November 2015. However, their names and talents weren't revealed until ten months later in September 2016.
* In her Love Suite scene, Maki's fantasy includes her and a friend from the same orphanage as her. They have known each other for 10 years and when they were younger, her friend mentioned he wants to make a real family with her while they were playing house. Maki says she never noticed her friend is in love with her and she is confused by her own feelings as well, but she realizes she likes him too. She simply wants to stay close to him and asks him to promise he will always be with her.
** Due to the reference to playing house and details being altered in Love Suite scenes to fit the protagonist, it's possible this could be the same friend Maki references in her Free-Time Events; However the ambiguous nature of Hotel Kamasutra leaves this unclear.
* Maki's Japanese voice actress, Maaya Sakamoto, is married to Korekiyo Shinguji's Japanese voice actor Kenichi Suzumura.
* Maki's English voice actress, Erica Mendez, also voices Nagisa Shingetsu.
* On Maki's birthday in 2018, Kazutaka Kodaka tweeted an "in-character" birthday message to celebrate it.
* In a poll hosted by MyNavi, fans voted Maki the 9th most popular Danganronpa V3 student.
* Japanese gaming magazine Dengeki from April 27th, 2017 to May 22nd, 2017 held two popularity polls, one that was voted electronically and the other via post cards. Maki was voted the 9th most popular student in the electronic poll, and 4th through post cards.
* Maki is the only character to receive Dialogue in all 5 scrum debates (Shuuichi, Himiko and Tsumugi had none in Chapter 1 and Keebo had none in Chapter 2).
* In the original Japanese version's fifth chapter, there was an error where Kokichi didn't have arrows in his arm and back after being shot by Maki. It was later fixed in the localization.
