Sakura is the first president of a social game company bought by Haru Tennōji as a move against Dragon Bank. Even though he looks flashy like a host, he is actually unlucky with women. Sakura is known for his deep love for games, always searching for more excitement. Before the buyout, Sakura struggled with money problems, and many team members left for better offers. This all changes when the company joins TRILLION GAME, leading to both new challenges and big successes.
Sakura dresses in a flashy style, much like a host. However, despite his looks, he doesn’t have much luck with women.
Sakura truly loves games.
From a young age, he has always been passionate about gaming and wants every game to feel exciting.
His catchphrase is “It doesn’t have enough heart!” whenever he finds something lacking in a game.
While he is creative and dedicated, he doesn’t have strong opinions about things outside his work.
Sakura grew up surrounded by games, which shaped his values and dreams.
Before being bought out, he struggled to keep his company running as staff members left, and he had trouble paying the remaining three workers.
He could make good games, but he wasn’t good at making them popular or making money from them.
Sakura is talented at making fun, original games.
However, he isn’t great at business, especially things like monetization or running a company.
Sakura works closely with his employees: Futaba, Shamoshi, and Kyokura.
After joining TRILLION GAME, he starts working with Haru Tennōji and Manabu Taira.
Later, Tōru Hebijima joins, and together they all create successful games.
The First Acquisition
Sakura’s company is the first one bought by Haru Tennōji as a plan to fight against Dragon Bank.
At that time, many talented employees were already recruited by Dragon Bank, leaving just three people behind with Sakura.
Sakura couldn’t pay salaries for three months or cover the rent on their office.
Using All Funds for Expansion
When TRILLION GAME raises 2 billion yen from angel investors, Haru Tennōji spends all of it to buy Sakura’s company, “God Promotion”, instead of developing new games.
Learning the Truth
Manabu Taira tells Sakura that he was only bought out as a “backup plan” and not because of his skills.
Instead of giving up, Sakura gets fired up and teams up with Taira to make a hit game.
Big Success and Lifestyle Changes
Together with Tōru Hebijima, they create “Petit Petit Land,” which becomes a huge hit.
Sakura, influenced by Hebijima, buys a fancy foreign convertible car and drives it around.
Sometimes, other TRILLION GAME staff ride in the car, or Haru Tennōji borrows it as a company car.
Sakura’s Later Life
In the “Manabu Taira Becomes Super Rich” arc, Sakura gets married and keeps working with TRILLION GAME.
Sakura’s employees say, “He can make good games, but he doesn’t know how to make them a hit.”
His lack of policy and business sense caused problems before the buyout.
Despite many failures, his passion for games never faded.
His love for gaming and his unusual ways make him stand out.
“It doesn’t have enough heart!”
