She is the leader of the Public Safety Devil Hunter organization who takes Denji under her wing, giving him a happy life compared to the suffering that he endured during his childhood days. While she initially acted as a helpful ally, she is later revealed to be a powerful and intelligent devil being a member of the Four Horsemen, who embodies the concept of Control/Conquest. Known as the Control Devil she was feared by human beings, several other nations, including the United States. She then proclaims herself to be an admirer of the Chainsaw Man, the entity that was sealed in Denji's body, and plans to use his powers to eradicate all of the devils that have plagued humanity for years in order to bring a better world for humanity, or be devoured by him in case of failure. Makima initially presented herself as a woman possessing otherworldly beauty with red hair that is tied in a braid and eye-length bangs with two longer side bangs that frame her face. In addition, she also possesses strange golden swirly eyes. Most of the time, she supports a rather calm and collected look on her face to show that she is rather serious about her job. In most of her appearances, Makima wears a black businessman suit with a white shirt and black tie tucked inside of it just like other Devil Hunters and she sometimes takes off her businessman coat. In her casual outfit, Makima wears a nearly unbuttoned white jacket with a black dress inside of it, long black stockings and high-heeled shoes.
