In October 2017, Makoto's business went bankrupt, changing the family's lifestyle drastically. Makoto went away to work on a fishing boat to pay his debts, while his wife and daughter remained in Tokyo.[2] In June 2018, Kazuma Hase, probably prompted by his wife, decided to open a makeup department at Hase Live and was going to hire Makoto as the head.[3] Makoto returned to Tokyo later that month. Upon returning, he overheard Rie upset about the result of the competition between Tenma and Haruto Kaguragi. Makoto told her that children should be allowed to make their own decisions "regardless of the result."[1]
