In many aspects, Sakura is very tomboyish, outgoing, and respectful in personality, as she is most of the time happy, energetic, cheerful, positive, hard-working and focused in combat. Bengus was in charge of Sakura's redesign in Street Fighter V. Sakura quickly became Bengus' favorite character due to how he's able to express himself freely in his art compared to the high expectations that come with drawing Ryu or Chun-Li. Akiman’s choice of Sakura’s character type was due to the popularity of the schoolgirl archetype from works such as Sailor Moon along with making her distinct from the Street Fighter II cast. Īn early design featured her in a kimono shirt and hakama pants, but was later abandoned in favor of a Japanese sailor outfit. Akiman wanted a character who was unique to the cast, a girl in a sailor uniform and someone who wasn't stylish.
After going back to his desk, his boss passed by and saw Sakura's design and complimented on it, which lead to Sakura's inclusion to Street Fighter Alpha 2's roster. Even so, Akiman still presented the design to the team but was quickly shut down which upset Akiman at the time. When making Sakura he knew that the team wanted another cool character and that the leaders of the project would dislike it. Honda as the employees younger than Akiman considered him “uncool”. Akiman reveals that the team excluded “weird” characters such as the Sumo fighter E. He wasn’t impressed with their work in the first game and the direction they were heading towards in Alpha 2, as they only wanted cool and stylish characters.
Sakura was created by Akira ‘Akiman’ Yasuda, who was approached by the Street Fighter Alpha team during the early stages of Street Fighter Alpha 2's development.

In Street Fighter V, Sakura wears a different outfit (her college uniform) that consists of a navy blue vest with a pink trim, a white long sleeve button shirt underneath, a pleated skirt with frills at the edge, black mid-length socks and black short (possibly Docs) boots. In her ending in Super Street Fighter IV, her hair is slightly longer, she wears a red high-neck sporty jacket with a single line at the center, a white short sleeved undershirt, black shorts, white socks and white sneakers with matching designs. Her school uniform becomes her "Nostalgia" costume in Street Fighter V. In Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken, her socks are shorter and the color is navy blue. Her fuku is blue with single white linings in each sides and white socks. She also wears red Converse-esque shoes, a midriff-baring red top under her uniform, red sparring gloves, a yellow neckerchief, and a white headband that was given to her by Ryu before the events of Street Fighter Alpha 2.
