Sakura Kōno is the vice president of the student council at Katagiri Senior High School and attends Class 3-5 with her friend Remi Ayasaki. She possesses shoulder-length forest green hair, green eyes, and stands 1.63 meters tall, noted by others for her above-average height and large breasts. Her standard attire includes the school uniform, black tights, white sneakers with green laces, and round-framed glasses. Born on January 20th, she is an Aquarius.
Well-rounded, kind, responsible, and reserved, Sakura diligently manages student council duties. However, she harbors significant insecurity and low self-confidence, particularly envying Remi's perceived cuteness. This extends to a reluctance to admit her romantic feelings for classmate Tooru Ishikawa, though she eventually confides in Remi.
Her deep bond with Remi Ayasaki dates back to their younger years, beginning when Remi commented on Sakura's "cute name." Within the student council, Sakura shares close ties with both Remi and president Kakeru Sengoku, often acting in an older-sister role. She once expressed a willingness to marry both, underscoring their connection.
Sakura's character development focuses on overcoming self-doubt through peer interactions. After confessing to and being rejected by Tooru, she channels this into personal growth, gaining confidence and expanding her social circle. This includes forming a friendship with classmate Akane Yanagi, bonding over shared interests like the manga *Weekly Shinobi*, similar personalities, and experiencing unrequited love—Sakura for Tooru and Yanagi for Yuki Yoshikawa.
Outside the council, she enjoys reading and excels at baking, particularly noted for her popular cookies. She previously baked cookies regularly for Tooru. A brief reference hints at a possible Buddhist affiliation.
Her surname Kōno (河野) combines "river" and "field," while her given name Sakura (桜) means "cherry blossom." Alternative interpretations pair "flower" (咲) with "good/virtuous" (良).
