Motoki Furuhata

Motoki is a fairly tall figure with green eyes and hair colored somewhere between orange and blond. His usual work getup teams a long-sleeved white shirt with blue jeans and orange shoes, finished off by an apron.

Warm and courteous, Motoki is the sort who readily hands Usagi practical advice, in the earlier episodes especially, once even talking her out of a risky crash diet. His affection for her is plainly brotherly, and that protective instinct extends to others too; he cannot stand to see the people he cares about frightened or in danger, and he pitches in wherever he can. He is tightest with Mamoru, perceptive enough to notice when his friend has sunk into a low mood and to coax him into opening up. A firmer side surfaces on occasion, as when he placed himself between Zoisite and his girlfriend Reika after the two were ringed in flames.

Working the counter at the Game Center Crown, the arcade Usagi haunts, Motoki becomes one of her two great infatuations, the other being Tuxedo Mask; she is depicted loving them in equal measure and even daydreaming of marrying each. Makoto carries a torch for him as well. Usagi addresses him as Motoki-onii-san, and since he and Mamoru attend the same university they rank as best friends. He treats the Sailor Guardians warmly, regarding them almost as younger sisters even while aware of their crushes, and he is already seeing Reika Nishimura. Once Usagi recovers her memories as the Moon Princess bound to Prince Endymion, her heart settles entirely on Tuxedo Mask, and the reveal of Reika ends the hopes both she and Makoto had briefly held.

From Sailor Moon R onward his screen time thins out, a consequence of Usagi and Mamoru's now-settled relationship. He turns up just once in R, giving Mamoru advice, in the episode that introduces his sister Unazuki, whom Usagi briefly mistakes for Mamoru's new girlfriend. In Sailor Moon S he shares a scene with Minako, amused by her stories until her mangled proverbs change his mind, and he remarks on how often Haruka and Michiru have been around, nudging Usagi and Minako toward meeting them. He returns more frequently in SuperS, where episode 129 finds him and Reika weathering a rough patch he would rather not discuss before they reconcile; his final franchise appearance has him startled to catch Unazuki helping Sailor Chibi Moon draw out the Golden Crystal.
