Sakura is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life. She is the Super High School Level Martial Artist (超高校級の格闘家), or Ultimate Martial Artist in the English localization.
Contrary to what her appearance might suggest, Sakura is a kind and level-headed girl. She rarely loses her nerve and seems able to maintain clarity in almost any situation. During more rare moments, she can lose her temper completely and become extremely intense, particularly when her friends get hurt. She also gets impatient if she cannot properly train for a long period of time. She is known for her love of protein and enjoys exercising early in the morning before a large breakfast.
Due to her more old-fashioned upbringing, Sakura has a habit of talking in an old-fashioned, formal manner. Being raised as the sole heir to a dojo with a three-hundred-year history, she believes that being a martial artist is simply her destiny. Along with learning martial arts, she learned to respect nature and animals, being particularly fond of rabbits as they never seem to get frightened when she holds them.
Along with protecting her legacy as her sworn duty, Sakura wants to prove that a woman can be the Strongest Person Alive. She also believes that she must work harder than men to achieve this goal. As a result of striving to be strong, Sakura is embarrassed about her own softer feelings and being feminine, assuming that other people would laugh at her if they knew.
