Sakura

Art by Snipetto





















History

Sakura Kasugano was a high school girl who admires Ryu and aspires to be a great fighter just like him. She is mostly a self-taught fighter, and has faced strong fighters such as Sagat and Ken. Sakura has an existing rivalry with her once schoolmate, Karin Kanzuki.

Personality

Sakura is a very outgoing and jolly fighter, and always seek to improve herself as a fighter. She does not shy from challenging stronger fighters, and treats every match as a learning experience. Sakura is deeply respectful of her opponents, and one day aspires to be as strong as Ryu.

Mastery

Sakura fights by imitation of Ryu's style of Ansatsuken. She has never received formal training in the art, but is very talented in copying Ryu's techniques of Hadouken, Shoryuken, and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Her versions of those moves are not as refined as Ryu's of Ken's, but they are powerful enough to make her a formidable warrior. She hopes to one day be under the direct tutelage of Ryu, so she can truly master his art of Ansatsuken.

Journey

Sakura has fought many warriors during her high school days, especially her schoolmate Karin who always challenges her to be a stronger fighter. She has developed a life-long friendship with Karin as she pursues the shadow of Ryu. After graduation from high school and working part time in an arcade, she is still searching for her future, and contemplating starting a family. However, she continues to look up to Ryu as mentor and inspiration. Sakura's future is uncertain, and she may develop a relationship with Ryu beyond what she has experienced so far.
