She usually wears a green parka.

## Relationships

### Nadeshiko Kagamihara

Sakura generally tends to take care of and at the same time scold Nadeshiko for her careless and too innocent behavior, so she is always guarding her camping trips and worrying that her little sister doesn't leave the house when she is sick. Apparently, she is also the person who gives Nadeshiko's punishments at home when she has clumsy or irresponsible behavior, sometimes even calling her "little pig" alluding to the fact that Nadeshiko has a huge appetite. She also possesses the most serious attitude of her family since Nadeshiko seems to have inherited the careless behavior of her parents, so Sakura takes care to give seriousness and logic to her family.

Sakura is sensitive to cold that she uses a lot of pocket warmers when she is outside. Nadeshiko gifted her a reusable hand warmer as a "thank you gift" when she helped Nadeshiko find a part-time job.

### Rin Shima

Sakura first met Rin after the latter saved Nadeshiko, who had left the house without permission. Sakura gives a bag of kiwis as gratitude before promptly throwing Nadeshiko into her car and driving her home.

Sakura later offers to drive Nadeshiko and Rin to Lake Shibire for their camping trip together.

In season 2, Rin happens to encounter Sakura at where Nadeshiko was solo-camping. Both had travelled after fearing for Nadeshiko when she stopped responding to their messages. They see Nadeshiko in good spirits, having chatted up a family that went to camp there. Afterwards, Sakura treats Rin to dinner.
