Makoto Chano

"This time for sure, a humanoid Neighbor has appeared!!"

- Makoto Chano about Lamvanein

Makoto Chano is a B-Class Gunner from Border and the Leader of Chano Unit.

Appearance
Chano is very androgynous, and also rather tall. He has chin-length hair, which could be longer, as it's usually covered by a beanie.

When Chano is in trigger mode, he wears a jacket which folds over itself on the left side, and has two groups of four buttons, and stripes on the ends of the sleeves, like the rest of Chano unit.

Personality
In the information page it is stated that Chano is brave and cares about his teammates; when he met an unknown neighbor, he quickly responded by reporting it and attacking them. Chano also seems to come to conclusions very quickly, as he immediately attacked Yūma after realizing he was a humanoid Neighbor.

Gender
In Chano Unit's mini profile in volume 7, Ashihara reveals in his character notes that Chano was supposed to be a crossdressing girl, but he decided to ignore it since it seems troublesome, which suggests that Chano is simply intended to be a boy. This is further supported by the game World Trigger: Smash Borders, in which a White Day event was held where all girls' icons were given a heart, and Chano's icon remained without.

History
Chano joined Border about 1 year before Border Member Official Enlistment Day.

Large-Scale Invasion Arc
Chano and Fujisawa attack Yūma after believing he was an enemy. They stopped, though, after Arashiyama informed them Yūma was indeed an ally. Later, the two attack Lamvanein, Chano exclaiming that they got it right this time.
