Happy 28th Birthday to the gorgeous and super talented Rapper, Singer, Dancer, Songwriter, Actress, TV Star and Fashion and K-Pop Global Icon, Sakura!👏🎂🎉🌟👑 🩷 #Sakura found fame as the Vocalist, Rapper and Dancer of the hugely popular, chart-topping, record-breaking group #LESSERAFIM, one of the best-selling K-Pop Groups of the Era! She is the eldest member of LE SSERAFIM, and is renowned for her visual charm and soft sweet voice that adds a unique emotional texture to the group's songs. Sakura continues to thrive as a multifaceted artist and global idol and has contributed greatly to LE SSERAFIM's massive success! Sakura was born in Kagoshima, Japan, and at just 10, she played Young Nala in the Shiki Theatre Company's musical, 'The Lion King'. In 2010, she took part in "The Broadway Experience" in New York, taking dance, singing, and acting lessons from Broadway musical actors and choreographers. She graduated from the Maria Musical Academy in her hometown of Kagoshima, and in 2011, she began her career as a member of the idle group HKT48, then joined AKB48 from 2014 to 2018, holding center positions on the singles "Kimi wa Melody" and "No Way Man". In 2015, she starred in AKB48's drama Majisuka Gakuen 4 along with Haruka Shimazaki. That same year she released her first photobook, Sakura, which peaked at No. 1 on the weekly Oricon photobook chart and No. 3 on the general book chart! In 2018, Sakura gained huge popularity by ranking 2nd in the reality girl group survival show 'Produce 48' and debuted with IZ*ONE in 2018 till 2021! In 2022, she made history as one of the few idols to re-debut successfully in K-pop with LE SSERAFIM under HYBE's Source Music, her third major group which quickly became a 4th-generation powerhouse, breaking records including highest first-day sales for a K-pop girl group debut album ('Fearless'), earning multiple platinum certifications in Korea and Japan including streaming milestones, going Double Platinum with "Perfect Night" and winning prestigious awards at various top ceremonies. Sakura stands out as the only 48 Group member to thrive at such a high global level across IZ*ONE and LE SSERAFIM, amassing over a decade of consistent success! Sakura has won numerous Awards as a member of LE SSERAFIM, including 7 Asia Artist Awards and a Daesang in 2024 for Performance of the year, 6 Golden Disc Awards including a Daesang for Album of the Year for 'Unforgiven' in 2024, and 2nd Daesang for Song of the year in 2026 for "Hot", 4 MelOn Music Awards, 4 Circle Chart Music Awards, 3 Golden Disc Awards, 3 Asian Pop Music Awards, 3 MAMA Awards, a Hanteo Music Award, a Fact Music Award, a Seoul Music Award, an MTV Europe Music award and an MTV Video Music Award! Sakura has received several high-profile global ambassadorships and endorsements that underscore her influence in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle sectors. As a member of LE SSERAFIM, she shares the house ambassadorship with Louis Vuitton since 2023, appearing in campaigns for exclusive capsule collections and contributing to the brand's appeal in South Korea and beyond. She has been endorsed by multiple beauty and hair care brands. In 2019, she became the Main model for contact lens brand MOLAK, and in 2021, she was appointed the Asian ambassador of the makeup brand Flower Knows and became the Muse of Kerastase Japan representing its "Blond Absolu" line. In 2022, she became the main model for Japanese clothing brand Lily Brown, and in 2023, she became the global ambassador of South Korean skincare brand Primera, enduring appeal across Japan, Korea and international markets. In early 2026, she made history as the first K-pop artist to become a global brand ambassador for Japan's renowned lifestyle company Felissimo, specifically for its handcraft brand Couturier, where she launched a collaborative line of yarn craft kits and accessories inspired by her passion for knitting. Sakura is very much into charity and helping those in need. In 2022, she openly expressed support for the LGBTQ+ community, sharing her desire to use her platform as an idol to foster understanding and serve as a role model, drawing from her earlier 2017 column on the Japanese film Close-knit. In January 2024, she personally donated 10 million KRW to support relief efforts for the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan through the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association. In March 2025, as part of LE SSERAFIM, Sakura donated 50 million KRW to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association towards wildfire relief efforts. This year, LE SSERAFIM's fandom FEARNOT organized the charity project "Where Kindness Blooms" in Sakura's name for her birthday, reflecting her inspirational influence on fans to give back. Sakura has transformed into a resilient, multifaceted artist, cementing her status as a beloved global idol with enduring influence across Japan and Korea!
