Sakura Sakurakouji

Sakura Sakurakouji (櫻小路　櫻　Sakurakoji Sakura) is the main character, as known as the female protagonist, of Code:Breaker. Sakura is thought of as cute, delicate, elegant, pure, graceful, modest and well-mannered by boys who had the thinking of they should protect her. However, it turned out that she is actually a martial arts expert and combat lover. She was supposed to be leading a normal, and average, High School life until the night she witnessed Oogami Rei, the male protagonist/anti-hero, wiped out a gang of bullies with his contrdicting, blue flame. From then, it was never school for her, her mission was to prevent Oogami from killing. She was referred as the 'Rare Kind', or 'Rarity', by Oogami, and other Code: Breakers in subsequent chapters.

Appearance
Like her name, Sakura has a pair of sharp, silghtly pink-shaded eyes and her straight, dark pink locks reaches the back of her waist. Her hair is usually seen held up with a white hairband throughout the manga, and she hardly style it other ways. Unlike most Shounen mangas, where most of the male characters seemed to get much more appearance spotlight, Sakura was potrayed as deadly, beautiful, and in a way, kick-ass. She is also very popular in School, and is known to having many suitors. (As evident, when other assumed that Sakura and Oogami are goin out, many male students at school started attacking him.)

Up till current chapters, the only fashion that seemed to revolve around her is her School's uniform, which consists of a white blouse, tied with a red bow-tie around the neck-level, a black-plated skirt which falls above her knees, a pair of black socks reaching up her knees and black school shoes. A yellow, long-sleeved sweater usually goes along with her top along with her School uniform. Other than wearing her uniform around the manga, she was also seen in pajamas and long-sleeved Jersey and track-pants.

Background
Despite being one of the first few characters to appear in the manga, not much is known about Sakura's background before the age of five. She was adopted by a highly-respected leader of the yakuza, Sakurakouji Goutoku, who was known as the "Raging Dragon of the East", as her daughter. And for some reasons, Sakura is well-trained in Martial Arts and is fully capable of protecting herself under dangerous circumstances, though she could act really recklessly at times, as quoted from Oogami.

According to recent chapters, Sarkura seemed to have a past with the "One being sought", who was revealed as Oogami's brother. There were images of her handing a key to to him and him pledging, and kneeling before her.

It is highly suggested in the later part of the series that there is more to her and the world of the Codes that she is unaware of, where the Code:Breakers deliberately had her leave to go on a camping trip while they fought the Re-Codes at the Shibuya Mansion.

It was also revealed in chapter 75, "he" said that the room where pandoras box was being kept (beyond the door, only accessable with the card key) was exactly the same as it was when their mother died (Oogami and"the one being sought") and that her death wad caused by Sakura and "the one being sought" also mention that Sakura's memories should be starting to come back.

It was revealed in chapter 77, that her real father is The Student Council President Shibuya.

Personality
Sakura has a very caring personality, values human life, and is willing to do anything to prevent anyone from dying in front of or around her. (That could be the result of a past before was was taken into the Yakuza, though that is merely speculation, presently.) It never occured to her that she might be protecting some who might kill her in return, like in Haruto's case, she will to save the lives of anything living is impressive. She is very out-spoken and straightforward. Despite being dense and naive, she seemed to always have her way of gathering people together and enough knowledge about death which could rival Oogami's. And even though she is seen as a cheerful, bright-smiling girl in the present, she was shown as an emotionless young child when she was young.
