Swimming readiness & supportive strength

Makoto Tachibana

Makoto connects a strong swimming silhouette with a gentle social presence. He belongs to Free!’s Iwatobi-centered cast, where returning to the water is also a story about relationships. Hypekage uses that combination to explore physical confidence that makes space for other people rather than demanding constant competition.
