in October 2022. Her talents have stretched to the acting arena as well, with appearances in
TV dramas such as Moshimo, Ikkomen Deku no Koko ga Adora and Ranman, 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
