 is a high-school student who transforms into .
==History==
===Background===
Sakura Igarashi is the third born child and only daughter of Genta and Yukimi Igarashi, and also the younger sister of Ikki and Daiji. Before she was born, Yukimi was pregnant with Sakura at the time when Happy Spa was originally burned down by Vail. The bathhouse would be rebuilt then, and Yukimi gave birth to Sakura without complications.
At one point during her childhood, Sakura wanted to be "invincible" when she grew up and began to learn karate in her adolescent years. By the time she began high school, she had earned a black-belt.
===The Deadmans Crisis===
Sakura attended Daiji's appointment ceremony at Fenix with her family, when suddenly the event is attacked by the Deadmans. While the Giff Juniors started to attack people, Sakura was the only civilian able to fight because of her karate training. She would be present to witness Ikki using the Revice Driver and transforming into a Kamen Rider. While Sakura remained in the sidelines in her brothers' battles against the Deadmans and wondered what it means to fight.
One day, Sakura and her friend Ayaka Oketani were kidnapped by a criminal hired by Deadmans, and they were able to escape. It wouldn't be days later until it was discovered that Ayaka was the contractor of the Kong Deadman. While she continued her karate practice, Sakura became good friends with Hikaru Ushijima. At the same time, Julio also approached Sakura disguised as a member of the club.
===Becoming Kamen Rider Jeanne===
When the Igarashi family went on vacation, the happy occasion was interrupted by Kagero, the inner demon occupying Daiji's body. The Igarashis were attacked by Kamen Rider Evil and the Deadmans' executives. Sakura briefly fought Aguilera, but was easily defeated by her. After Daiji was rescued by Ikki, Sakura felt remorse for her own weakness, and her inner demon gradually began to emerge. Aguilera takes advantage of the situation and tries to convince Sakura to join Giff & the Deadmans to gain power.
Sakura received a mysterious package from an unknown sender that carried the Libera Driver and Cobra Vistamp. Learning that her karate instructor has been mixed up Deadmans, Sakura tried to fight the Planarian Deadman by using the belt but failed upon her first attempt to transform. While Daiji scolded her for her recklessness, Ikki motivated her to face her weaknesses. Aguilera herself still convinces her to join her and Giff as either a Deadman or rider, while unveiling her past to her. With a proper resolve, Sakura was able to sucessfully become Kamen Rider Jeanne and could call forth her inner demon, Lovekov.
===Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations===
The Igarashi siblings would be greeted by the Sword of Logos' members who came by to Happy Spa. However, their encounter came at a better time as the demon Diablo emerges to threaten the Earth's future, leading to Fenix's Kamen Riders and the Sword of Logos joining forces. They would also encounter time-displaced Shocker scientist Ryunosuke Momose, who sought to make amends with Hideo, his young son he left behind in 1971, who is now an adult man in 2021.
Sakura joins Vice, Daiji, Touma, Rintaro, and Yuri to venture to the future, while Ikki stayed behind in the present to help defeat Diablo. She would meet an elderly George Karizaki, who assisted the heroes by granting them to access to Clone Riders forms. Sakura would assume the forms of Kamen Riders Nadeshiko, Poppy, and Valkyrie. Upon returning to the present, Kamen Rider Jeanne would join forces with Kenzan to battle the Himiko Crisper.
===Dismantling the Deadmans' Operations===
Sakura continued to take immense pride as Kamen Rider Jeanne and jumped into battle when opportunity calls for it. While Lovekov was incapable of fighting, George Karizaki gave Sakura some additional Vistamps to transform her inner demon into personal weapons. She would also have to deal with her mother as she refused to allow Sakura to join her brothers on the battlefield until Hiromi Kadota was able to convince her parents that Sakura's contributions were just as important as Ikki and Daiji's.
===The Fenix Conspiracy===
With the rest of the Deadmans generals now scattered, Sakura helps Julio return to his former life as "Go Tamaki" by reconciling him with his former high school friend Yosuke Okuda. However, the attempt ends in tragedy when Orteca turns Yousuke into an Gifftarian, and Tamaki was separated from his Deadman powers. The next day, Tamaki asks Sakura to help reform a reluctant Aguilera, to poor results. However, Sakura was able to defeat Aguilera in battle.
When Sakura was invited to join the Ushijima family for dinner, the basement was revealed to be the base of the mysterious organization Weekend. The Ushijimas were the ones who sent the Libera Driver to Sakura and offered her to join them. After Orteca is taken in Fenix custody but escapes, he replaces Hiromi as the new Kamen Rider Demons and effortlessly defeats the Igarashi siblings without breaking a sweat and knocked Hiromi off the cliff.
With Hiromi missing, Sakura became more unsure who to trust. She helped Tamaki to live with her family after he was abandoned by Aguilera. When Ikki receives the Rolling Vistamp, Sakura deduced Weekend gave her brother the mysterious Vistamp that caused Ikki and Vice to swap places. She meet with Weekend's leader Masumi Karizaki, who reveals he was responsible for giving him the Vistamp. Thanks to the efforts of his own son George, Ikki returns to the physical plane.
As a new threat arises with Kamen Rider Vail, their new threat turns out to be her father, Genta Igarashi. It would be revealed that because their father was given a transplant of Giff's DNA, she was born as Giff's descendant. While she was still unsure to join Weekend, she was forced to deal with a rampant Jack Revice. Sakura would push herself to fight Orteca until the latter was ultimately defeated by a reformed Kamen Rider Revice. In the end, Sakura decides to join Weekend to defeat Giff.
===The Giff Uprising===
While continuing to repel Giff's forces as Weekend's latest member, Sakura is forced to confront Aguilera. However, her indecisiveness to fight Aguilera took a toll on her union with Lovekov and her ability to transform into Jeanne. Sakura agreed to fight Aguilera personally without anyone's help, under the condition that they would have fun at the amusement park. With her Libera Driver repaired, Sakura faced her in a decisive battle and successfully separated Aguilera from her inner demon. She promised Aguilera to restart her life as "Hana Natsuki".
With Hana joining Weekend, Sakura turned her attention onto Hideo Akaishi. Akaishi proved to be many steps ahead against the Kamen Riders after turning Akemi Mikoshiba into the demon Giffdemos and depleting most of Fenix's forces. After Vail resurfaced to become a menace to the family, he ended up targeting Hana due to being considered Sakura's "weakness". Once Tamaki was kidnapped in her place, Hana transforms into Kamen Rider Aguilera to at least help Sakura during the ongoing battle against Giff.
Following Akemi's death, Sakura grew concerned over Daiji's unstable nature after he snapped at Ikki. She would also help Hikaru grieve following Tasuke Ushijima's death, sparring with him in karate. While persevering in against Giff's forces, Sakura was forced to battle Daiji after the latter decided to cooperate with Akaishi and abandoned hope for humanity. She tries to stop Daiji and knock some sense into him, but he refused to listen. Once Giff made his presence, Daiji would slowly come around to reconcile with his siblings. Upon watching her older brothers fight Giff, Sakura warmly welcomed Daiji and the revived Kagero.
After noticing a scar on Lovekov's back, a worried Sakura insisted to not let her get involved in any more fighting. As a result, she had a tough fight against Giff and his demon forces. Hana later reprimanded Sakura for neglecting Lovekov's needs. Following some advice from Ikki and Daiji, Sakura finally materializes Lovekov and apologizes to her. Realizing that Lovekov's scar was a result of her shedding, Sakura was able to truly fight alongside her demon. The two merged into Kamen Rider Invincible Jeanne, and promptly aids her siblings and their inner demons in fighting Giff and his forces.
===Price of Transformation===
Several weeks have passed and the Igarashi family return to a peaceful life. As Sakura was about to leave for school, she reunites with Hana who announces her intent to repent for her past actions. However, Hana and Tamaki were later attacked by Kamen Rider Juuga, who turns out to be George Karizaki. Sakura and Daiji would also learn that Ikki is losing memories of their family and could no longer recognize their parents. Although they try to plead with Karizakiby surrendering their belts, Sakura and Daiji had to fight Karizaki once the situation escalated, but found themselves overwhelmed by Juuga's strength.
Forced with the option to have her brother confront Juuga, Sakura and Daiji visit Hana and Tamaki in the hospital. After a deep conversation, she decided to support Ikki's battle against Karizaki to solve the scientist's internal issue. She would watch Ikki and Vice's duel against Karizaki with Daiji and Hiromi anxiously. When Juuga is defeated, Sakura and Daiji go to congratulate Ikki, but was saddened upon discovering her brother had lost the memories of his siblings as well.
With Ikki losing all memories of the entire family, Sakura is forced to watch her brother moving out of Happy Spa. However, she couldn't accept the fact that Ikki had forgotten his entire family. When Vice gathered the entire family and their friends, Sakura joins along his plan to trick Ikki into fighting him for the contract would end. However, doing this would result in Vice disappearing. While this plan appeared to have worked, Ikki began to realize something is wrong and easily deduced Vice and everyone had orchestrated their final battle.
Sakura watched as Ikki and Vice transformed into Ultimate Revice, deciding to battle on much friendlier terms. Everyone present was able to tearfully laugh in happiness and cheer on for the both of them. As the battle concluded, Sakura watched Ikki and Vice's final moments and with that, Ikki's memories of his family are restored. A few months later, Sakura reunited with Hikaru and revealed her new goal to study for medical school, while living a happy life with her family.
==Personality==
Like her two brothers, Sakura greatly cares for her family and reciprocates the love that they have given her through treating Ikki's injuries from fighting the Deadmans. She will not forgive those who hurt her her family, and was visibly heartbroken at the thought of her family being torn apart after Kagero revealed himself to the family. She lambasted Fenix for dragging her family into this mess, and questions the need for Kamen Riders to protect the world if it comes at the cost of tearing her family apart.
Being trained in karate, Sakura is also strong and self-reliant as she can defend herself from the Deadmans and even managed to escape a hostage situation unharmed without the help of her brothers. However seeing that both Ikki and Daiji have gained the means to protect their family from non-conventional threats, Sakura began to wonder about the meaning of true justice and whether or not achieving it would also mean happiness. However, her experiences have only left her with more questions than answers.
Despite Sakura's strength, Vice had sensed the inner demon lurking within her that represents her feelings of helplessness and self-doubt, which Aguilera had planned to exploit for her own purposes. This culminates into Sakura receiving the Libera Driver from Weekend and recklessly transforming despite her inability to do so, which results in Ikki getting injured when protecting her. Ultimately, Sakura recognizes her weakness, and transforms successfully with a newfound resolve to become stronger. After becoming Jeanne, Sakura has become extremely prideful and does not take for granted in her role as a Kamen Rider, often resorting to fight head-on.
During Weekend's attempts to recruit her, Sakura became determined to help Julio and eventually Aguilera settle into a civilian lifestyle after their defection from the Deadmans group, having far more luck with the former than the latter. Doing so, she became very empathetic and headstrong, which temporarily lead to her clashing with Lovekov before the situations were resolved.
Humorously, Sakura is shown to be a big eater, eating a large Onigiri in ten minutes whilst entering the bathhouse, even eating stockpiles of them in Ikki's subconscious. Additionally, Sakura tends to use the honorific for some people, notable examples being her older brother , her inner demon , and .

*Hana Natsuki/(Kamen Rider) Aguilera: As the respective female leads from each of their own sides, Hana as Aguilera took it upon herself to prey on Sakura's own desire for strength and offered her an opportunity to join the Deadmans, which Sakura continuously declined. After learning of Aguilera's past, Sakura sympathized with her and wanted to return her to a normal human life. However as Aguilera continued to only be with Giff, yet was rejected, Sakura became reluctant to fight her again which prevented her from using Jeanne's abilities temporarily. After being resolved to do so, the two had their "final duel to the death" which liberated Hana from her demon, allowing Sakura to show her the beauty of humanity. Since the two joined as agents of Weekend, their relationship had become very close to the point where Sakura feels she can be a little too overprotective, until Hana becoming a rider changed that.

Their bond later remained strong after that with Weekend disbanded in Giff's defeat.

When he was resurrected by Daiji against Giff, both he and Daiji saved her together against the Gifftarians.
