Background and History
Makishima operated behind the scenes, using people such as Mido Masaru and Ouryou Rikako to carry out crimes, then abandoning them when they were no longer useful. Suspected of involvement in the death of Shinya Kogami’s subordinate, he was pursued by Kogami for three years 861 862 875. During a confrontation with Akane Tsunemori, Makishima killed her hostage after demonstrating that her Dominator would not target him. Yan shot him with a Dominator, apparently killing him, but Makishima survived 885 886 892.
Makishima subsequently distributed helmets that interfered with Psycho-Pass surveillance to people willing to commit violence. He used footage of public crimes to spread fear and raise regional pressure, while the resulting riots provided cover for an attack on the Ministry of Welfare’s NONA Tower 894 898 901 902. Lin Yan defeated him there, and Akane chose to arrest him 905 906 907.
While in custody, Makishima learned that the Sibyl System was made up of integrated human brains. He rejected an offer to join it, disabled the mechanical body used by its representative, and escaped from the aircraft transporting him 909 910. His next plan involved a virus intended to destroy the Granary Belt. After that attack failed, he prepared pipe bombs and fought the officers pursuing him 920 921 922 923. His final confrontation with Kogami ended when Kogami used Geass to make him commit suicide 924 925.

- Long, silver-white hair and golden eyes 870 894.
- A composed, gentlemanly bearing that he usually maintains even around violence 906.
Personality
Makishima believes actions have value only when they arise from a person’s own will. He rejects the Sibyl System’s authority to define crime and wants people to confront the danger and violence that its protections obscure 885 898. He describes life as a game he wants to play, rather than judge from above—a reason he refuses Sibyl’s offer to absorb him 910.
He remains calm amid bloodshed and is willing to sacrifice both followers and himself for a plan 875 898 922. His confidence falters, however, when Lin Yan overpowers him 906.
