Etymology

 * The name Sakura means "cherry blossoms, decoy" (さくら) in Hiragana.
 * However, when written in kanji (桜 or 咲良), it could possibly mean:
 * 桜 - "cherry blossom".
 * 咲良 - "blossom" (咲) (saku) and "good, virtuous, respectable" (良) (ra).
 * Sakura's surname Momomiya means "peach" (桃) (momo) and "temple, shrine, palace" (宮) (miya).

Trivia

 * Sakura is unaware that Ichigo is a Mew Mew.
 * The reason Sakura doesn't mind Masaya and Ichigo's relationship is that, when Sakura was around Ichigo's age, she began dating Shintaro. However, her own father was like Shintaro, and very strict. She ultimately tried to fight her father to allow Shintaro to date her.
