Sakura is not shown in the anime or manga, but it is said that Hiyori Kirishima resembles Sakura.
== Personality ==
According to Zen Kirishima, Sakura was very fierce, hard-headed and a very strong woman whom Zen remembers never winning a single argument against her. When they were in High School, Sakura was the class president so it seems likely she was very mature.

== History ==
Zen Kirishima and Sakura had known each other since middle school. According to Zen, Sakura was the class president while he was the class clown. They never got on in school and she was forever scolding Zen for his behavior and he found this deeply annoying. Soon, they both realized their constant bickering was on account of their attraction towards each other.
During high school Zen constantly avoided and came up with excuses not to ask her out. However, Sakura confessed her feelings first and then entered relationship with him. Sakura always won the arguments with Zen.
They stayed together during college and after their college graduation Sakura proposed to Zen. After their marriage, Sakura's health took a bad turn and they were strongly advised not to have children naturally as it was very risky for her health. Even so, Sakura deeply wanted a child that she went on to have a baby daughter named Hiyori Kirishima and Sakura sadly had passed away soon after Hiyori was born.
