securing a gold award at the prefectural contest but also discovered the music of Nogizaka46,
which would later play a pivotal role in her career. Despite describing herself as shy and
reserved during her high school years, Sakura was deeply influenced by Nogizaka46's hit
Influencer, leading her to pursue a dream that would soon change her life.

nature. Her debut to the spotlight came at the end of the same year, marking the beginning of an
illustrious career that would see her become the central figure of multiple singles including

have made her a sought-after model, debuting as an exclusive model for Nono magazine in 2020,
where she has since featured prominently, including achieving her first solo cover
in October 2022. Her talents have stretched to the acting arena as well, with appearances in
TV dramas such as Moshimo, Ikémen Deku no Koko ga Atara and Ramen, solidifying her versatility as
an artist. Sakura Endo's hobbies and interests paint a picture of a multi-faceted individual
with a love for Japanese sweets, movies like The Cat Returns, and a penchant for reading novels
by authors such as Kanae Minato. Her musical tastes are eclectic, ranging from J-pop sensations
like Little Glee Monster to classic acts including Southern All-Stars, showcasing her wide appreciation
for the arts. In the world of Nogizaka46, Sakura shines brightly, admired for her skill with the
clarinet, her unique nickname Saku-chan, and her friendly relations with fellow idols across the
Sakumichi groups. As an idol, model, and actress, Sakura Endo's journey is a beacon of aspirational
