Biography
Kaoru Sakura, a native of Shūnan, Yamaguchi Prefecture, was born on 29 September 1990. She was part of a broadcasting club with only two members while in junior high school. She decided to start a voice acting career because after playing the visual novel Kamaitachi no Yoru, she thought it would be interesting if it had dialogue, which the game lacks due to being a Super Nintendo Entertainment System game. She was educated at Remax Attached Training School, and her first starring role was in the 2014 American film Ask Me Anything; she later recalled that she had done the job with Yōko Honna.
In 2011, Sakura began voicing Witch in the Puyo Puyo video game series. The producer of Puyo Puyo, Mizuki Hosoyamada, remarked that she mistook Sakura for Witch the first time he heard her voice, and Sakura herself listened to every other voice of Witch in order to protect the fandom's illusion toward Witch. She also regularly appears on the Puyo Puyo Channel and Puyo Quest Namahōsō Niconico channels, and she often mentions that she is the same age as the Puyo Puyo series.
Sakura voices Chitose Kurosaki in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, a sub-franchise in The Idolmaster franchise.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kaoru Sakura” as japanese seiyū. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese seiyū. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11383006. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2014 and 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
