Sakura Shinguji

Born in Sendai, Miyagi, Japan on 28 July, 1905. Master of Hokushin Itto Ryu Kenjutsu. Daughter of Kazuma Shinguji (hero of the last demon war), and heir to the spiritual power of the Shinguji family, she was summoned to Tokyo by General Yoneda sometime after the formation of the Hanagumi. Moving from rural Sendai and struggling to live in a new metropolitan lifestyle, she faces even more challenges in attempting to integrate herself with the members of the Hanagumi.

In the beginnning, she is seen by everyone as clumsy and a country bumpkin, but grows steadily in power to become the strongest member of the team, aided by the inherited spiritual power of the Shinguji family and her spiritual sword Arataka. She has a friendly and caring personality, bringing smiles and giving great moral support to everyone in the group.

Her Koubu is the Nishiki unit.
