Sakuya stands at 167cm tall, with striking reddish hair reminiscent of deep red.

He is often seen looking energetic and youthful, matching his vibrant personality.

He can be earnest to the point of naivety but never loses sight of his goals.

Sakuya grew up in a complicated family environment.

With no clear family support, he was drawn to theater from a young age, finding a sense of belonging on stage.

He joined the MANKAI Company after seeing a flyer for in-residence actors, becoming the first new member under director Izumi Tachibana.

He began as a third-year student at Hanazaki High School, later graduating and taking up part-time work.

His strengths include memorizing faces and names quickly, which helps him build relationships with others.

He is somewhat clumsy with his hands, making manual tasks a challenge.

He is often called "SakuSaku" by Kazunari Miyoshi and "100% Energy" by Yuki Rurikawa.

Sakuya and Citron share Room 101 in the dormitory and have a close bond.

He deeply admires the other troupe members, learning from them as he grows on stage and as a person.
