Daughter of Kazuma Shinguji (hero of the last demon war), and heir to the spiritual power of the Shinguji family, she was summoned to Tokyo by General Yoneda sometime after the formation of the Hanagumi. Moving from rural Sendai and struggling to live in a new metropolitan lifestyle, she faces even more challenges in attempting to integrate herself with the members of the Hanagumi. In the beginnning, she is seen by everyone as clumsy and a country bumpkin, but grows steadily in power to become the strongest member of the team, aided by the inherited spiritual power of the Shinguji family and her spiritual sword Arataka. She has a friendly and caring personality, bringing smiles and giving great moral support to everyone in the group. Her Koubu is the Nishiki unit.

Chisa Yokoyama

Kanna Kirishima

Utama

Female · Umur 18 · Gol. darah B

Height: 197 cm (6'6") Weapons: Magnetized hand-claws Martial Talents: Ryuukyuu Kirishima Ryu Karate-do Always hungry and tomboyish, the fairly easygoing Kanna serves as the group's raw muscle. Kanna is the master of a Martial Arts style that allows her to easily kill a bull with her bare hands. She sometimes gets into an argument with Sumire over their differences in attitude.

Mayumi Tanaka

Maria Tachibana

Utama

Female · Umur 19-21 · Gol. darah O

Height: 186 cm (6'1") Floral Namesake: Tachibana orange (Citrus tachibana) Place of Origin: Kiev, Ukraine, of mixed Japanese-Russian (Japanese-Ukrainian) parentage Martial Talents: Marksmanship (pistol) (Enfield Mark I: revolver) Koubu-Kai/Jinbu/Tenbu/Koubu Nishiki Unit Weapon: Arm-mounted machine cannon, back-mounted sniper cannon A veteran of the Russian Revolution, Maria is the only member of the Hanagumi with prior experience of military tactics and warfare. This experience was why she was chosen to be the original leader of the group. However, though her struggles in Russia had left her an expert marksman and skilled tactician, she also became coldly logical and unwilling to interact with others on an emotional level, which led to being labeled "Kazuar" (in anime it's said that this name means "phoenix", but actually it's a bird, but its closest relative is ostrich). After a series of set backs, it was decided that Ichiro Ogami should replace her as leader, with Maria remaining as his second. After an initial period of friction between the pair when Ogami arrived, Maria's attitude began to turn slightly, though she still remains the most coldly emotional of the group. Sakura looks up at Maria very much at the beginning.

Urara Takano

Kouran Li

Utama

Female · Umur 17-21 · Gol. darah B

Cheerful, and good humoured, Kohran is mechanically inclined and loves to work with the kobu. She works as the stage manager of the Hanagumi. A running joke in the series is that Kohran's inventions are rather accident-prone, often backfiring or blowing up in her face. She sometimes uses Ogami to test her inventions, with predictably hilarious results. Despite her cheerful attitude, she also has a serious side regarding her past; a bandit raid killed her parents and was said to be the only survivor during the village fire. She idolizes the creator of the Kobu... but does not know that he's with the enemy. (Source: Wikipedia)

Yuriko Fuchizaki

Iris Chateaubriand

Utama

Female · Umur 9- · Gol. darah AB

Height: 106 cm (3'6") A member of the Imperial Capital's Flower Division and a potential heroine, she is the daughter of the wealthy French aristocrat Count Chateaubriand. Her family consists of her father, Robert, and her mother, Marguerite. She is a veteran member, ranking just behind Maria and Kanna in seniority; having joined while still in the single digits of age, she is also the youngest member of the group. She goes by the name "Iris," which serves as both her nickname and the name she uses to refer to herself. She is rarely called by her real name by herself or others, and "Iris" is also the stage name she uses as an actress. She possesses the greatest spiritual power in the Flower Division and is capable of using psychic abilities such as teleportation and telekinesis.

Kumiko Nishihara

Sumire Kanzaki

Utama

Female · Umur 16

An established actress of great talent and self-professed star of the Hanagumi, Sumire is arrogant and conceited, perhaps because she was raised as a spoiled brat, with her father and grandfather being good-hearted yet very workaholic. Despite her attitude, she is skilled pilot and highly capable of wielding a naginata, and can sometimes be rather wise. She is a daughter born into the elite Kanzaki industrial clan, whose factory produced the Koubu.

Michie Tomizawa

Ichirou Oogami

Utama

Male · Umur 19- · Gol. darah A

Height: 176 cm (5'9") An elite officer who graduated at the top of his class from the Naval Academy; Yuichi Kayama was a colleague of his during his time in the Navy. A battle-hardened captain who has repeatedly saved the Imperial Capital and Paris from monsters, he is the eldest member of both the Imperial and Paris Flower Divisions. Despite being male, he possesses exceptional spiritual power capable of piloting the Reishi-Katchuu (Spirit-Powered Armor) known as "Koubu." His ability to act as a catalyst, synchronizing with the spiritual power of others, was a key factor in his selection as the Flower Division captain. In his daily life, he works as a ticket taker at the theater (a role he initially resisted), though he also occasionally handles stage direction and production.

Akio Suyama

Leni Milchstraße

Utama

Umur 13-16 · Gol. darah O

Height: 147 cm (4'10") As a young child in Germany, Leni was part of a program that created high spirit power children called "wunderkind" (translated from German as "Miracle Child"). Because of that project, Leni is so distant and tomboyish that everyone initially thought she was a boy. With Oogami and everyone elses support however, she becomes more open, and gets along well with Iris. Mentioned in the ADV Sakura Wars TV pamphlet Leni has great battlefield tactic knowledge and is a gifted ballerina. It is possible that she is named after Leni Riefenstahl, a German filmmaker whose most famous work was "Triumph of the Will".

Kazue Ikura

Orihime Soletta

Utama

Female · Umur 15-18 · Gol. darah B

Height: 158 cm (5'2) An extremely beautiful Italian-Japanese girl, Orihime was at first cordial to all of her fellow teammate—except for Oogami. The reason she holds a grudge against Oogami is because her Japanese father, Seiya Ogata, abandoned her; after that, she despised all Japanese men, thinking them unreliable. However, Oogami managed to eventually reunite her with Ogata, with whom she made peace, and Orihime and Oogami become close friends

Maya Okamoto

Yuuichi Kayama

Pendukung

Graduating from the same naval academy as Ichiro Ōgami at the same time, Kayama was intended as the original replacement for Maria as leader of the Hanagumi. However, after it was found that his above average spiritual power was still not enough to power a Kōbu, General Yoneda found a different use for him. Given command of the Tsukigumi, or "Moon Division" (the reconnaissance and intelligence unit for the Hanagumi), Kayama's role is to carry out any and all covert missions for the general. As part of his duties he is often seen in disguise, whilst discreetly passing on information to Yoneda. He has some limited psychic abilities, including being able to induce hallucinations in others.
