Description
Kuuga Sakurai is a student at Yumesaki High School who belongs to Class 1-7 after repeating a year, placing him in the same grade as Sakura Hanazono and Misaki Ayuzawa. He is the vocalist of the amateur indie rock band UxMishi, where he performs under the stage name Kuuga. His physical appearance includes a short stature, spiky blonde hair, reddish-brown eyes, and multiple ear piercings. He typically wears his high school uniform and occasionally adds fashion glasses, contributing to his reputation as an attractive figure.

In terms of personality, Kuuga initially presents a sweet and kind image to his fanbase, but in private he is egotistical, arrogant, and insensitive to the feelings of others. He views personal interactions with fans as mere fan service and has a notably poor reputation in romantic contexts, with a stated preference for women with straight black hair. This behavior causes conflict when he shows interest in Misaki while ignoring how it hurts Sakura, who genuinely cares for him.

His main motivation revolves around his music and maintaining his public persona. Over time, however, his attitude undergoes a shift. He begins to develop genuine feelings for Sakura, recognizing that she is the only person who earnestly supports him without pretense. This change marks a turning point in his character, moving from self-centered behavior toward a more sincere emotional connection.

Key relationships include his dynamic with Sakura Hanazono, who eventually becomes his wife and the mother of his child Yume Sakurai. His early interactions with Misaki Ayuzawa are strained because she strongly disapproves of his callous treatment of Sakura. He also maintains a bandmate relationship with Kouma Yabu within UxMishi. A notable ability beyond his singing is an extremely fast dribbling technique in basketball, and he enjoys attending live music events. His birthday falls on October 30, and his blood type is AB.
