Personality[]
Sakurako is a shy girl, she's always nervous around everyone except when she's with the shogi club members. Despite the fact, she always had a childish personality when she's with Takeru Kakuryu and she would always tease him without knowing that he's flustered about it. She can be pretty straightforward when it comes to teasing which is really bizarre as she is supposedly a really shy girl. She also mastered hypnotism and often uses it on Takeru when she wants to order him around. She likes to read books and often reads them when she's in the library. At first, she didn't know what love is so she became very mischievous when it comes to teasing Takeru.
Overview[]
Sakurako went to the same middle school with Takeru and Ayumu. She is not in any club at the moment because she wants to spend more time with Takeru. She doesn't get much screentime but her story with Takeru can sometimes be as fun and interesting as Urushi and Ayumu's.
