Kishimoto has often been asked by readers about why he did not show Sakura's parents until the film Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie. When asked in an interview if there was something about Sakura's background that had not been revealed, Kishimoto explained that he had never thought of that as Sakura is a "normal girl". Despite these elements, Kishimoto is fond of Sakura, as he feels that many of her personality traits are common among all people, thus giving her a sense of real humanity. Sakura's creation is a result of Kishimoto's desire to make a somewhat irritating character who was well-intentioned. Kishimoto attributed this to him being unable to draw good heroine characters and fashioned Sakura as a girl who could not understand men, the best example of a heroine he could come up with. Several pieces of merchandise have been released in Sakura's likeness, such as action figures and key chains.Īlthough Sakura Haruno is the most recurring female character in Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto did not originally intend for Sakura to be the heroine of the series. Amongst the Naruto reader base, Sakura has been popular, placing high in some polls.
ANIME STUDIO 9 MAKING NARUTO SERIES
Her emergence from this stereotype as the series progressed has been celebrated by many reviewers. She was initially noted to be a stereotypical shōnen character, representing a love interest for the protagonist, and was said to serve little purpose at the beginning of the series beyond being comic relief.
Numerous anime and manga publications have praised and criticized Sakura's character. Chie Nakamura voices the character in the animated adaptations of the series, while Kate Higgins plays her in the English dub.
In order to make the character more appealing in the second part of the series, Kishimoto designed her costume in a way that makes her look more like a martial artist as well as more beautiful during later chapters. Kishimoto had difficulty drawing her character, resulting in Kishimoto inadvertently emphasizing certain parts of her appearance, including her large forehead. Sakura has become the series' female lead, although she was not immediately intended for the role. Besides the main series, Sakura has appeared in several pieces of the Naruto media, most notably the spin-off Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring (2015) and the sequel Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (2016) where she is portrayed as a doctor named Sakura Uchiha ( Japanese: うちは サクラ, Hepburn: Uchiha Sakura). Over the course of the series, she begins to shed this singularly driven persona and grows more appreciative and accepting of Naruto. Sakura initially has an infatuation for Sasuke, praising him at every juncture, and heaps scorn upon the less-skilled teammate Naruto. Sakura is depicted as a kunoichi affiliated with Konohagakure ( 木ノ葉隠れの里, English version: "Hidden Leaf Village") and a part of Team 7, which consists of herself, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and their sensei Kakashi Hatake. Sakura Haruno ( Japanese: 春野 サクラ, Hepburn: Haruno Sakura) is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.
