kasugano sakura

Sakura Kasugano (春日野 さくら) is a character in the Street Fighter series. She is introduced as a 16-year-old (as of Street Fighter Zero 3) Japanese schoolgirl who has an intense fixation with Ryu. She has managed to copy and learn some of Ryu's techniques but really wants him to train her personally. In her most recent appearance in Street Fighter V's new Arcade Edition, she has graduated high school and has taken a job at an arcade to make ends meet, but she still persists in fighting and training.

Sakura has typically fought in her school's uniform, a short-skirted serafuku with the collar popped and red buruma underneath. She wears a red top under her uniform, red gloves, and a white headband (given to her by Ryu before Street Fighter Zero 2). As of Street Fighter V, she has replaced the school uniform with the employee uniform of the arcade she works at. She has short brown hair.

Chronologically, Sakura first appeared in Shiritsu Justice Gakuen, where she had started to participate in street fighting after watching Ryu win the first World Warrior tournament. Justice Gakuen saw Sakura involved in the adventure between her school and others in Ashura City. Fighting in it, she realized how much it meant to her to protect something she cared about.
