Makoto Niijima

Canon Character

Name Pronunciation: Mah-Koh-Toe   Nee-Jee-Mah

Makoto Niijima is a third year high school student living in Tokyo, Japan. She isn't a very big part of the story until the second act, of which there are about 8 in the base game, 9 in Royal. She is toted before her first major appearance as a highly intelligent, a very diligent, and a very disliked student in the academy. Disliked because, as her role as Student Council President makes it seem, she is seen as a teacher's pet and wannabe detective like her big sister, Sae.

Despite the fact she seems like a wannabe, she is shown to be a very shrewd detective in her own right as she is set on the path of determining the identity of the Phantom Thieves, who are none other than the protagonist and his friends. She is able to correctly and accurately deduce their identities within their first few meetings and is able to hold them at ransom at one point before deciding she had a lot in common with them and join their team.
