Her name, meaning “cherry blossom,” reflects Japanese cultural values of beauty and transience. Influenced by her mother’s love for musicals, Sakura began attending a local musical school at age three.

Sakura attended Shigakukan Junior & Senior High School, a private school in Kagoshima, but dropped out to focus on her HKT48 career.

She later completed her high school diploma through correspondence courses, demonstrating her commitment to education despite a demanding work schedule.

She also graduated from the Maria Musical Academy in Kagoshima, where she honed her performance skills.

Sakura joined HKT48 as a first-generation trainee in July 2011, at the age of 13, commuting 225 km for auditions.

Promoted to Team H in 2012 and co-captain of Team KIV in 2014, she also held a concurrent position in AKB48’s Team A (2014–2017). She centered AKB48’s “Kimi wa Melody” (2016) and HKT48’s “12byou” (2015) with Kodama Haruka.

Her 2015 photobook, Sakura, topped Oricon’s weekly chart, and she starred in AKB48’s drama, Majisuka Gakuen 4 (2015).

Ranking high in AKB48’s general elections (7th in 2015 with 81,422 votes, 11th in 2014 with 45,538 votes), she became a fan favorite.

In 2018, she placed second in Produce 48 with 316,105 votes, debuting with IZONE on October 29, 2018, with ColorIZ and the hit “La Vie en Rose.” IZ*ONE disbanded in April 2021, and Sakura graduated from HKT48 in June 2021 with the song “Omoide ni Suru ni wa Mada Hayasugiru.”
