Biography[]
Sakura was born in Ebisu, Shibuya. She had a desire in becoming an actress and decided to enroll in a theater acting school, during her junior high school years. At school, she studied Japanese dancing, stretching, sword fighting, voice training and acting, although she initially continued to pursue acting, after performing on stage, she realized that she "was different" and decided that acting was no longer a suitable career for her. At this point, she decided to become a voice actress.
Sakura made her voice acting debut in 2010. In 2018, she won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 12th Seiyuu Awards. On January 31, 2022, Sakura announced that she has left her talent agency I'm Enterprise. The following day, Aoni Production announced that she has joined their agency.
