## Legacy

Sakura - Best Friend Robot was respectably used for Dance Central 2, tagged along with Makuro in a crew called "Tekno" when the community reaches 10,000 followers on Twitter for unlocking the crew. She gains magenta hair, dark blue eyes, magenta bra, pink gloves, magenta leg warmers, Montgomery backpack, and magenta shoes. Her hands are reused from CYPH-56/CYPH-78/CYPH-ELITE. Later, she returns to Dance Central 3 for Tekno crew to be unlocked randomly.
When she plays a song, her mouth flashes when the artist is singing, skirt flashes as the beats of a metronome and her headband flashes with instruments playing.

## Trivia

* She is likely based on Jenny Wakeman from *My Life as a Teenage Robot* due to having her swooped down hairstyle and round eyes.
