Sakura Yamauchi

Sakura Yamauchi is the deuteragonist of the I Want to Eat Your Pancreas series and the only friend of Haruki Shiga. She is a high school student who's well-liked by those around her due to her positive personality, but she's hiding a big secret: she has a terminal pancreatic disease and has been told she only has a few months left to live. Sakura is a teenage girl with a slim build, medium height, and is considered pretty (at least by Haruki Shiga). She has soft, chestnut brown hair with feathery bangs blocking the sides of her face and between her eyes, with straight strands running past her shoulders and curls slightly at the tips. Her eyes are medium-large, a bright amber-brown with dark pupils. She has fair skin and often wears a bright smile on her face. Sakura is usually seen with her hair loose and down. However, on several occasions, she was seen with low pigtails, and sometimes wears her hair in a bun. Sakura is often seen wearing her school uniform consisting of a pale beige blazer with dark brown lines along the edges, underneath she wears a white shirt with a classic collar, tied with a dark blue bow, and a short pleated skirt of dark teal, paired with long, dark grey socks and brown loafers. Outside of school, Sakura was seen in a number of different outfits, including a sky-blue vest, a dark blue jacket, a gray and white jacket with red skirt, white strapped pajamas, a loose blue sweater, and a white strapped pleated-shirt. Throughout the story, it is said and shown that Sakura is a rather rambunctious person by nature which she admits to. It is compounded by her rather immature attitude and actions towards the world around her, having to constantly be quieted in the library she worked at. She is a very delightful, outgoing and kind person and has a good conscience as shown in the movie (not wanting to make her friends worry, changing Haruki Shiga to a completely different person, and always doing the right thing). Though she typically displays her rather air-headed side in most situations, deep down, Sakura is revealed to be incredibly scared of dying, which she chose to reveal to Haruki alone. Despite her illness, Sakura still remained determined to live her life to its fullest.
