Sakura (Urusei Yatsura)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sakura (サクラ?) is a character in Rumiko Takahashi's manga and anime series Urusei Yatsura. In the anime she is voiced by Machiko Washio.
She is Cherry's miko niece and the Tombiki High School school nurse. She is engaged to Tsubame Ozuno. Her full name is unknown, as she is only ever referred to as "Sakura".
[edit] About
Born with a weak constitution, she suddenly collides with a runaway Ataru Moroboshi outside of a ramen place. She detects evil spirits within him and offers to purify him, but her true intentions were to transfer the evil spirits attached to her illnesses to him. She succeeds and from then on has a healthy body. Soon after she joins the Tomobiki High School staff as school nurse.
Unlike her uncle and mother (who look almost the same), Sakura is tall, slender and physically attractive, which makes her a common target of the lecherous boys of the school and even Onsen-Mark. The boys have been known to purposely injure themselves in order to see her. However, she is just a gluttonous as her uncle, but no matter how much she eats her body stays the same. Her explanation for this is that she is dieting (yet her proportions don't change and she continues to not gain weight). Also, she has the ability to summon foul and baleful creatures from Japanese folklore, by virtue of her mystical training. Like Shinobu Miyake, she is capable of superhuman strength when angry.
Despite her sexy outward appearance, she speaks and behaves in a very old-fashioned way. Her exorcism chant is Haratama! Kiyotama! (はらたま! きよたま! ?), which is a way of saying Exorcise! Purify! (祓いたまえ! 清めたまえ! Harau tamae! Kiyome tamae!?).
