Sakura Sugihara

Sakura Sugihara (杉原さくら Sugihara Sakura) is a character in the Wake Up, Girls! anime series.

Etymology[]

The name Sakura means “cherry blossoms, decoy” (さくら) in Hiragana.
- However, when written in kanji (桜 or 咲良), it could possibly mean:
  - 桜— “cherry blossom”.
  - 咲良— “blossom” (咲) (saku) and “good, virtuous, respectable” (良) (ra).
Sakura's surname Sugihara means "cedar" (杉) (sugi) and "field, plain" (原) (hara).
