Originally played by Chisa Yokoyama

While not necessarily the main protagonist per se, she is the titular character nonetheless. Throughout the games and anime adaptations, Sakura Shinguji (sah-ku-rah shin-goo-jee) is depicted as a very spirited and kind young lady, sincere in her devotion towards her friends and the Imperial Capital. Being from Sendai and growing up in a more traditional and rural familial environment, the world of Taisho-era Tokyo and its ever-changing technological advancements are initially alien to her, and thus she falls victim to her own naivete. Because of this, she initially doesn't quite get along with the other members of the Flower Division, but through persevering against her shortcomings, she becomes one of the most respected members of the division, and an entirely more confident person altogether.

At times she is prone to jealousy, as well as not exactly being the best at standing up for herself, but she is always well-intended. Her attitude can change sporadically but her heart is always in the right place, she is kind when she needs to be and determined the next moment.

Her voice should be innocuous and generally nonthreatening, but with a fiery undertone that breaks out whenever it needs to. Ability to sing isn't required but it puts you at an advantage.
