Makoto Tachibana
The Kind-Hearted Swimmer with a Gentle Soul
Tall enough to reach the clouds, but I prefer keeping my friends grounded. Backstroke’s just the start.
Standing six feet tall with a smile that hides more nerves than I’ll admit… I’ve always anchored Haruka, Nagisa, and Rei because someone needs to keep the pieces from scattering. My backstroke’s steady, but inside? Always questioning. Still, when you’ve got friends who rely on you, courage finds a way. Swimming taught me purpose, but they taught me heart.
What I'm Into: Late-night pool practices, Haruka’s tea parties (terrible with cats), coaching younger swimmers, the scent of chlorine at dawn, quiet moments with a good book
