* Anime
* Manga

**Miyuki Sakuragi** (桜樹 美幸, *Sakuragi Miyuki*), née **Miyuki Kurosaki** (黒崎 美幸, *Kurosaki Miyuki*), is a supporting character in The Mob Boss's Daughter and Her Caretaker.

She is the wife of Kazuhiko Sakuragi, the mother of Yaeka Sakuragi, and the older sister of Kanami Kurosaki.

## Appearance

Miyuki is a beautiful young woman who stands at average height with waist length, auburn red hair, bangs that are swept to the right, amber colored eyes, thin eyebrows that give her a gentle appearance, and a fair complexion.

The outfit she's commonly seen wearing, especially in some flashbacks before she was rendered to a comatose, consist of a 1/4 sleeve off white top, a forest green knee length skirt, and pale orange slippers with white ribbons and soles.

Prior to being pregnant with her first-born daughter, Yaeka, she was seen wearing a pink colored knee length maternity dress with a white sweater worn over it.

## Personality

At the point before Miyuki had ended up in the hospital from the car accident that took place, she was known to be exceptionally kind, bright, empathetic, gentle, and loving.

She is also shown to be a devoted wife and mother to both her husband and daughter, both of whom she loves dearly with all her heart.

As noted by Kazuhiko, regardless of what responsibilities befall on her, she would always handle it with a smile on her face.

Even when Tōru gets himself into some kind of trouble, much to the dismay of Kazuhiko and Aoi, both which who'd usually have to give him a hard talking to, especially for the way he tends to act irrationally without thinking, she always expressed kindness towards the male nonetheless.

## Background

Miyuki and Kanami had lost both of their parents, at some point, growing up.

As seen in a flashback from Miyuki's high school years before meeting her future husband, Kazuhiko, she would work at a flower shop as part time. Because Kazuhiko was a regular at the shop she'd work at, she decided to gather all the courage by asking to meet with him, in order to gain advice regarding ikebana. Once he complied to the request, in which Miyuki hands out her contact info, this led both her manager and sister to assume that what she's done is actually a date more than a "meeting".

After spending some time with each other, and that Miyuki goes on to marry Kazuhiko, who serves as the head of the Sakuragi clan, she eventually gives birth to her first-born child, Yaeka.

Although it was a joyous moment for Yaeka to be brought into the world, tragedy struck when Miyuki had fell into a coma from a car accident that took place, and that she's been hospitalized for quite some time. Since then, this unfortunate event - along with her absence from home eventually led Yaeka to be raised under the care of her younger sister, Kanami, for the time being. Presumably from around toddler age until Yaeka had turned 7 years old to where she can finally live with her father.
