"The path of the sword is the path of the soul. You musn't worry."
—Sakura

Sakura Shinguji (真宮寺 さくら Shinguji Sakura?) is a young, beautiful 17-year-old girl (as of the original Sakura Wars) who's gentle, polite, and kind, but also somewhat clumsy and naive. She is one of the main characters and the titular one of the Sakura Wars series and later plays a supporting role in the fifth entry.

Profile[]

In the first game of the series, she was the newest member of the Flower Division and it wasn’t exactly easy for her. Sakura had to overcome her inexperience and prove herself to her comrades in order to gain acceptance within the group. In the end, however, she proved herself a loyal friend and worthy asset of the Flower Division - both on the stage, and on the battlefield.

She's also the first girl the player, as Ogami Ichiro, meets in the game.

Ogami Ichiro met Sakura in a park and she showed him the way to the Grand Imperial Theater. Throughout the rest of the game, the player has the choice to choose her as Ogami's girlfriend. In her ending (if she is chosen), she left a letter to Ogami stating she's going home by train. After Ogami received the letter, he took Kohran's motorcycle and chased Sakura's train. As she sat down, Sakura saw Ogami and suddenly stopped the train. She jumped into Ogami's arms and apologized to Ogami for leaving before they kiss.

Throughout her character episode, it's revealed that she has astraphobia (fear of lightning).

Crosspedia Entry[]

A member of the Flower Division of the Imperial Assault Force. Cheerful and energetic with a strong heart. Although generally brave, an incident in her past has left her with a fear of lightning. As a daughter of the line of Shinguji she is possessed of the power of Haja, she fights evil with her deceased father's "Reiken-Arataka" demon-defeating blade and her mastery of the Hokushin Itto Ryu sword style. When not saving the capital, she has top billing as an actress in the Imperial Theater. Although she has feelings for Ichiro, who supports her both in battle and as an actress, this can sometimes seem a little one-sided and she can even become quite jealous. She often quizzes Ichiro on what he has been doing with the other members of the division, and meeting with Erica in Paris was no exception.

Gameplay[]

Sakura appears in the first trailer of Project X Zone alongside other Sega characters. The trailer depicts her teaming up with Ogami Ichiro. Sakura wields many sword attacks that she and her steam mech can use in the anime and game, including her signature Hyakka Ryoran. Their official appearance is in Chapter 9: Justice Over Evil in Project X Zone. In Project X Zone 2, she first appears in Prologue 2: O Brother, Thou Must Not Die and reappears in Chapter 18: Escape from the Gangs of New York. She is partnered with Gemini Sunrise in the sequel.
