Appearance: Sakurai has ebony hair, and electric blue eyes. His side banes frame his face touching his shoulder. He usually wears a button up white with thin red lines shirt and a loose red tie, giving him a formal but casual look, black and red fingerless gloves, black sleek pants and a pair of black and red sneakers.

Personality: Sakurai is a confident, laid-back, carefree and levelheaded individual, evident in his general attitude as he is rarely seen without a small grin on his face. Though it is hidden under comedic exterior he is shown to be mature for someone of his age and will become very serious when the time calls for it His love for his friends inspire all who around him, and, as a result, he easily becomes well-liked by the people he meets throughout his adventures. He is well-known for his unbeatable determination and unbelievable drive.

History: Sakurai is the last remaining member of the Ryushi Clan . It was a hunter clan that trained meisters and weapons within the clan to hunt not only for food, but to hunt down evil creatures and destroy them, much like the practices of DWMA. The clan is named after the Ryushi family, the leaders of the clan. When Sakurai was 16 years old, he witnessed the slaughter of his entire clan by a pack of werewolves accompanied by witches. He survived by being knocked out and hidden by a fellow clan member until they left. No one was left alive. Sakurai has since retained a burning hatred for witches and vowed to kill any he finds.

Miscellaneous:

Soul Perception: A technique Sakurai learned while being trained by hi clan to become a "Witch Hunter". While practically any Meister, Weapon and in some cases normal humans can see the souls of the deceased, this unique ability allows a person to perceive the souls of living people, and is much more of a rare skill.

By focusing on an individual soul, a skilled Soul Perception practitioner can actually 'read' a soul and make accurate judgments about the person's characteristics, personality and Soul Wavelength. Knowing the Wavelength of a soul can allow a skilled meister to match or disrupt the opponent's Wavelength in or outside of combat, making it a valuable skill in analysing the opponent.

One of the more important functions of Soul Perception is detection, allowing a human to differentiate between the soul of a normal human and the soul of a Witch, since there is little physical difference between the two. Over centuries of war the ability of Soul Perception originally evolved in normal humans to expose witches who were hiding among their population. Eventually Witches developed the magic ability called Soul Protect to hide their souls from those who possess Soul Perception, rendering this function of Soul Perception useless. However, Soul Perception is useful in finding opponents who are hiding, or are planning a sneak attack, making a Soul Perception practitioner a hard opponent to launch a stealth attack on.

A powerful form of Soul Perception can be achieved if one person is able to enter the very state of mind of their opponent (shown with Maka and Crona), in which case, the Soul Perception practitioner can even 'see into' the very soul and even interfere with it.

• 'Super' Soul Perception: Recently, however, a select few number of humans gained a newly-evolved advanced form of Soul Perception, dubbed 'Super' Soul Perception that can even completely bypass Soul Protect. Such a power is seen as highly dangerous by Witches, and such individuals are targeted by all evil forces alike. Aside from allowing someone to see through a Witch's Soul Protect, advanced Soul Perception allows a human to sense souls accurately over long distances and notice even the slightest changes in one's Wavelength, being able to detect lies.
  

Soul Menace: The technique is a form of self resonance which is only known to be usable by a select number of individuals. By resonating with one's own soul the user can drive their own soul wavelength directly into an opponent's body through a physical strike on them. The incompatible Wavelength can cause strong direct and internal damage, it is even capable of damaging someone who is being protected by black blood.

The Anti-Demon Wavelength: The exact opposite of the Madness Wavelength as it blocks madness and spreads sanity. It's very rare since it's hard to tell who has it since it doesn't appear to be any kind of way to tell who has one out side of encountering a madness wavelength.

Most practical use of Anti-Demon Wavelength is spreading it trough Chain Resonance over user's team protecting them from madness and allowing them to combat opponents with Madness Wavelength. Similarly it can be used to stabilize sanity of users of Madness Release.

• Madness repelling: In defense this Wavelength acts as a powerful barrier against insanity. It can be used through Soul Resonance on others who are about to be pulled into madness, and restore their sanity. In offence it can be infused into attacks causing them to be destructive against beings of madness even intangible ones or creations like Black Blood.

• Darkness repelling: This Wavelength can be also carried over attacks, which in turn become very effective against Witches or any individual harboring dark powers. Using it is possible to even take on an Immortal and heavily wound them.

Grigori Soul: A Grigori Soul is a soul which has a pair of wings attached to it, and when it reaches full power, its Soul Wavelength takes on the form of feathers. There also seems to be a possibility of Grigori Souls having halos as well, befitting the name of an 'angel-shaped' soul.

• Flight: Typically, bearers of Grigori Souls can conjure up wings in order to fly. With powerful wings, one can fly at incredible speeds and have good maneuverability in the air.

• Bullet Wings: He has the ability to use these previously mentioned wings to attack. He does so by firing small bullet-like projectiles at his target, in quick succession, similar to a machine gun. These projectiles are also seen as the feathers of his wings, that are fired through a simple flapping motion. It appears that an infinite amount of these projectiles can be launched, with any lost being instantaneously replaced.

Weaknesses: Although he is very unique, Sakurai is still human. As drawback Anti-Demon Wavelength is not only very rare but also considered dangerous by forces of Kishin. Because of it user can quickly become target of swift assassination.
