She has a sister named [[Daisy Makimoto]] and is childhood friends with [[Billy Gilbert]]; they hail from [[Bakugan Valley]] in AustraliaAmerica, though Julie moved to [[Bayview]] at some point before the start of the series.
Julie appears as a recurring secondary character in the following seasons, and moves to [[Bayview]] along with [[Dan Kuso|Dan]] in ''[[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]]''. By the events of ''[[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]]'', she has become a news reporter for [[Bakugan City]].

*Julie is the only Brawler (in ''New Vestroia'') that didn't have a direct battle against a Vexos.
*In the Japanese version Julie spices up her speech with English words and phrases, making her way of speaking different from the other characters. It's briefly explained that Julie was still learning to speak Japanese, as she is from Australia America rather than Japan like the others.
*Julie's outfit in ''Mechtanium Surge'' resembles Mei Ling's from ''Metal Gear Solid''.
*In the Arabic version of ''Battle Brawlers'', Julie's outfit (as with Runo's) was censored, by coloring her torso and legs purple.
