Sakura Kasugano is a video game character in the Street Fighter series of fighting games. She's a 16-year-old (as of Street Fighter Alpha 2) Japanese schoolgirl who has an intense facination with Ryu. She's managed to copy and learn some of Ryu's moves, but really wants him to train her personally.
Sakura typically fights in her school's uniform, a short-skirted sailor fuku, with a pair of red bloomers underneath. She wears a red top under her uniform, sparring gloves, and a white headband. Her red shoes bear a strong resemblance to Converse Chuck Taylors.
While Sakura's moves are very unpolished, she has a lot of potential. She learned many of Ryu's moves, including the Hadoken, simply from watching him do it.
Sakura is friends with Hinata (who ironically idolizes her) and Natsu from the Rival Schools series, and has also met Dan Hibiki, and trained for a short time under him.
