"You should never give up before you start!" — Motoki Furuhata

Motoki Furuhata is a young man who worked at Game Center Crown.

Personality

Motoki is a crush of Usagi and Makoto's and works at the Game Center Crown, the video arcade Usagi visits frequently. In the anime he is referred to as Motoki-oniisan by Usagi, he is also good friends Mamoru, as they are students at the same college. Although they are good friends their personalities differ greatly.

Information

Sailor Moon

Motoki's main role in the series was to be one of Usagi's two crushes along with Tuxedo Mask. She was shown to love them equally and had visions of marriage with both.

Throughout the series, the Game Center Crown was a popular hangout place for Usagi. There she would always meet Motoki.

Eventually, Usagi's love shifted completely towards only Tuxedo Mask, after she regained memories of her past as the Moon Princess with Prince Endymion/Tuxedo Mask. It was also revealed that Motoki was actually already dating another woman, Reika Nishimura.

Sailor Moon R

Motoki appeared significantly less often than season one from this season on, because of the established love relationship between Usagi and Tuxedo Mask. He made only one appearance in Sailor Moon R, when Mamoru asked him for some advice. In that episode, it was revealed he had a sister, whom Usagi mistakenly thought was Mamoru's new girlfriend.

Sailor Moon SuperS

Motoki had several appearances in this season. In episode 129, it was revealed that Motoki and his old girlfriend Reika were experiencing romantic relationship problems and does not want to talk about it. They eventually got back together in the end. His last appearance of the whole series was where he goes confused and shocked seeing his sister Unazuki helping Sailor Chibi Moon gain power to the Golden Crystal.
