Sakura (Japanese: サクラ Sakura), known as Sayo in the English language versions of the games, is a Pokémon Trainer who lives with her sisters, the Kimono Sisters, in Ecruteak City.
In the anime
Sakura made her first appearance in Trouble's Brewing. She was particularly friendly with Misty, due to having the common experience of being the youngest in a group of sisters.
In Espeon, Not Included, the group met up with Sakura again while passing through to Ecruteak City. By this time, her Eevee had evolved into an Espeon. She used Espeon in a battle against Misty's Corsola, where the Template:Type2 emerged victorious.
Sakura's most recent appearance was in the special episode The Blue Badge of Courage where she was revealed to be challenging gyms and so visited Misty in Cerulean City. She mentioned that by that point she already had three Gym Badges.

It also appeared in The Blue Badge of Courage defeating Misty's Corsola, earning Sakura a Cascade Badge. | ||

Trivia
- Both of her known Pokémon are the result of branched evolution. Also, both of her known Pokémon were at the time the only two Pokémon that can learn Morning Sun by level-up.
- In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Sayo owns a Jolteon rather than an Espeon. Her sister Naoko, who once owned Flareon, is now in possession of Espeon.
