==Design== The hull design is generally based on the one of the [[Murasame-class destroyer (1994)|''Murasame'' class]]. However, some weapons have been changed, as is the internal structure. And it was said that the large lattice mast was degrading its stealthiness in the ''Murasame'' class, so in this class, it was considered to change to two small masts, but it was not implemented.{{Sfn|Kaijin-sha|2003|pp=76-81}}
Although its displacement become slightly increased, there is no change in its main engines, as it is not a big difference that has little effect on the performance of the ship.{{Sfn|Kaijin-sha|2003|pp=76-81}}
== Construction and career == ''Makinami'' was authorized under the Medium-term Defense Buildup Plan of 1996, and was built by [[IHI Corporation|IHI Marine United]] shipyards in [[Yokohama]].
