Sakura Samurai This boy has traveled a long distance from his small hometown in order to master the way of the sword. During his journey, while on the banks of a pond, he hears the voice of a Kappa who offers to train him. He is supremely skilled at the art of sword drawing, drawing his blade in the blink of an eye and using the momentum to strike at his target. He goes by the name Sakura Samurai.

Master Melonbowl Master Melonbowl is the master of the pond, and the guardian of the shrine that honors the ancient sakura tree. He has been waiting for a young hero to come and save Princess Cherry Blossom. He rarely appears to people in his kappa form, instead opting for a human disguise. He is a self-proclaimed master swordsman. People say that if you offer cucumbers at the shrine, your skill with a sword will improve.

Princess Cherry Blossom Residing in the Sakura tree, she is the only daughter of the god of the earth, and acts as the country's guardian deity. One day, she was sucked into a villain’s mysterious drinking gourd and carried off, and she hasn’t been seen since. The ancient tree hasn’t bloomed since the day it lost its guardian...

The Castle Lords These fearsome, confident swordsmen block Sakura Samurai's path. They took advantage of the chaos in the countryside to take control of the region. There is a rumor that some of the castle lords possess rare treasures as well.
