and when she used her power of Clairvoyance. She is the mother of Souichiro Nagi
. Despite maintaining the duties of a demon exorcist, she tried to raise Souichiro as normally as possible. When Souichiro was accepted into Todo Academy, she wept for what's to come, because she probably knew the Red Feather Resonance Effect would awaken his powers. In the past, she was part of Sohaku's failed experiment to make an ultimate warrior.
Makiko is very knowledgeable on Dragon's Gates, as in the past she absorbed all of the powers of the other founding families, the only exception is the Natsume Family's Dragon's Eye. She also knows a lot about Sōhaku Kago
and Tetsuhito Kagiroi
, since she formerly had a relationship with Sohaku (they may have been married), and her eye that had the memory of her dragon’s ki was transplanted into Tetsuhito. She was very dedicated to Sohaku when they were together, willing to do anything for him. She even sacrificed her left eye to aid him. She was subsequently tossed aside by Sohaku when she was no longer useful, her attempts to remain with him lead to Sohaku chopping off her left arm.
Later in the story, she loses her other arm in order to save Souichiro from being destroyed by his own dragon. With the aid of Yorihira Tsumuji and Jushi Mataza Tsumuji
, she gains the use of robotic arms.
Each of the six Red Wing families possesses a unique chakra, or Dragon's Gate. The Nagi family possesses the . This powerful punch gives Makiko the ability to steal the dragons of others, and use them for herself.This most novel and powerful ability of the Red Wing Families.
Makiko used this power to steal almost all the powers of the former Founding Families while she was with Sohaku. As a result she had every power with the exception of the Dragon's Eye. With the transfer of her power to Tetsuhito, it is unclear if she still has access to the other families’ powers herself.
Possibly as a result of this power (it may only work on other exorcists), Makiko can suck away the dragon spirit of others. In Souichiro's case forcing him out of his demon exorcist form and freeing him from his dragon without taking away his ability to use his gate(s).
through Souichiro's eyes. The downside is that any physical damage the person suffers will be transferred to Makiko as well. When Souichiro got hit in the head with one of Tessen's "water bullets", Makiko's hat has a hole as if impacted and her head bleeds.
When Aya Natsume
and Souichiro are sent meet their trainer, both are surprised to find Makiko and Dōgen Takayanagi
. Souichiro refuses to be trained by them, so the former heads of the 12 founding families (Makiko excluded), attack Souichiro while wearing masks. Dogen pretends to hold Makiko hostage and starts to cut off her eye patch. Souichiro gets angry, insisting her eyepatch is not to be touched. Dogen cutting off the eyepatch to reveal a mass of scar tissue that almost appears like a centipede over Makiko's eye, which angers Souichiro enough for him to awaken his demon exorcist powers. Afterwards Souichiro agrees to train with them.
As F starts to search for a computer chip hidden with the Enmi Family scroll, Makiko heads to Kyūshū
to investigate. She encounters some members of the Takayanagi Family's Kyūshū division. It is implied that she defeats them, as she was able to capture one. She hails a taxi the same way Bunshichi Tawara
did when he had captured Emi Isuzu
, it's even the same unfortunate taxi driver. She forces her captive to tell her where the main group is, and heads there.
Makiko arrives just as Souichiro has lost to his own dragon; insane, he is attacking his allies. As he is about to kill them, when Makiko steps up and uses her right arm to suck away all his power returning him to normal. The cost is great however as her only remaining arm is shredded, nearly killing her. Nonetheless, if she was even a second late Souichiro would have been chewed up by his own dragon in her place. Souichiro panics and rushes her to a hospital. In the hospital, Makiko regains consciousness and finds everyone else knocked unconscious. She rushes outside just in time to see Sohaku throwing Souichiro into a car. She breaks down, wondering why he showed up now. She says she no longer has the strength to attack, resent or hate him; Sohaku merely drives away. Afterward Makiko is cared for by Yorihira Tsumuji in the mountains where F can’t find them. During this time, she told Maya Natsume
all she knew about Sohaku and Tetsuhito.
.
Soon afterward, Sohaku dubbed Makiko too weak for her own dragon. He moved all of her memories on how to control the Dragon's Gates into her left eye, and removed it. He implanted that eye into Tetsuhito, and with the assistance of an Acupuncture based spell he transferred the knowledge and abilities of the powers Makiko stole to Tetsuhito. She attempted to force Tetsuhito to only use the power for what she saw fit, but was unable to harm him. Later when Sohaku was abandoning her, she attempts to follow him and her left arm gets chopped off by Sohaku.

Demon Exorcist Form (Magabarai)
The Magabarai blood that runs through Makiko's veins allows her to tune into the Red Wing Resonance of anyone of the Red Wing Blood Lineage. Makiko when using her family’s power can transform, revealing a black dragon pattern that goes from her arm to her leg as ki enters into her and exits through her dragon gates, thus activating her chakra. This form is slightly different from her son’s since her hair does not seem to turn black like his. In this form, a limitless amount of ki flowing through her greatly strengthens her supernatural abilities. However according to her, if the Nagi spirit is disturbed then they can’t use this power.Dragon's Fist
Makiko used this power to steal almost all the powers of the former Founding Families while she was with Sohaku. As a result she had every power with the exception of the Dragon's Eye.

Cognizance
Makiko tried to teach Souichiro what she called Cognizance, a greater understanding of how life is interconnected. To do so she made Souichiro see through the eyes of a lady bug. It shows Souichiro he is rather large in comparison to the ladybug, but is only a small part of the world as a whole. The ladybug is devoured by a bird shortly after which returns Souichiro to normal. It seems to have surprised him but no damage carried over, separating this ability from a similar capability of Makiko, Clairvoyance.Clairvoyance
Makiko has demonstrated the ability to see through the eyes of others as well. She observes Souichiro's fight with Tessen IshiyumiTessen Ishiyumi
