In the OVA she stepped down voluntarily, even citing her gender as a reason.

Shinjiro Taiga
A young Navy Lt. from Japan who's to become the new captain of the New York Combat Revue, Star Division.

"Shin: "My body is moving on its own toward the baths..."
 * Attractive Bent Gender - Peppermint. 'Nuff said.
 * Ensign Newbie
 * Continuity Nod\Running Gag See the bath peeping under Ichiro's entry? Shin can do the exact thing word for word after you beat the final boss. It doesn't end how you would expect though.

Shin:"


 * Johnny Yong Bosch - English voice actor
 * Heroic Mime - In dating sim sections only.
 * Hot-Blooded - Well, he is a samurai...
 * Informed Attractiveness: His Peppermint persona. It's really not that bad but his 'beauty' was exaggerated into Legendary level in the OVA. YMMV whether he's more attractive than Gemini and co.
 * The One Guy
 * Weapon of Choice - Swords Akimbo

Gemini Sunrise
A very cheerful cowgirl who tends to be a bit clumsy. Her master's last words brings her from Texas to New York with her fellow horse, Larry.


 * Country Mouse
 * Crash Into Hello - Her first meeting with Shinjiro begins this way.
 * Cute Clumsy Girl
 * It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY" - Unlike the astrological sign, the "I"s in her first name are pronounced like "E"s. Yet it's pronounced the traditional way occasionally in the English dub.
 * Laura Bailey: English voice actress
 * Marth Debuted in Smash Bros: She first appeared in Sakura Taisen V: episode 0, which is a prequel action game. And it had not been localized.
 * Meaningful Name - Born on June 21, making her a Gemini.
 * Official Couple - She's the most obvious candidate for Shin's affections. This is reflected in-game: given a choice of girls to date, she is the only one with an inescapable event (she appears in a section that you must visit) in which you have to either accept her request for a date or turn her down. The other girls have to be hunted down in order to ask them out.
 * Paper-Thin Disguise - It should be rather obvious who the "masked woman" is - even in New York you don't meet many teenage girls who have red hair, thick Texas accents, katana training under a Samurai master, and a freaking horse - yet somehow nobody in the STAR division  even wonders if there might be a connection between them until Chapter 6. Partially subverted, though, in that
 * Plucky Girl - She has the odd moment of disillusionment, but she bounces back.
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Samurai Cowboy
 * Sanae Kobayashi - Her Japanese VA. Who is not a Gemini.
 * Stellar Name - Gemini.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side -
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl - Both at once...kind of.
 * Weapon of Choice - Her Katana. She is seen with a revolver, but it is never used.

Sagitta Weinberg / Cheiron Archer
A strong-willed lawyer who practices out of Harlem. She's very intelligent and is recognized for her exceptional perseverance, toughness, independence, and confidence.


 * Afraid of Needles - No issue with killer robots, major issues with the smallest of dogs.
 * Amoral Attorney - Of sorts, at the start. A classic example of "following the letter of the law, rather than the spirit," and damaging herself as well as the people of her hometown, until Shinjiro snaps her out of it.
 * Badass Biker - She was one of these before she became a lawyer.
 * Defrosting Ice Queen - Pretty aloof and horrible to Shinjiro at the start, generally warms up to him fairly quickly (provided the player isn't picking the dialogue options that tick her off). Manages to combine this with being Hot-Blooded.
 * Double Entendre - If she's the character Shin pairs off with at the end, she cheerfully announces that it's a "private party" tonight, with just her and Shin. To a crowd of reporters. The final dialogue with Shinjiro is also littered with these, which go soaring merrily over his head.
 * Dub Name Change - She was named "Sagitta Weinberg" in the original Japanese version of Sakura Taisen V; she was renamed in the English dub for unknown reasons, though this may have been because her Japanese name is extremely Jewish (Weinberg is a common Jewish surname), and Sagitta is supposed to be a black Harlemite.
 * Hot-Blooded - If she's annoyed, you'll know about it.
 * It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY" - Despite the interesting spelling, "Cheiron" is pronounced just like the name "Karen".
 * Which is actually accurate (at least, relative to the expected alternative).
 * Knight Templar - She is truly, honestly committed to the law throughout, but until the end of her chapter she is so obsessed with legalities that she does more harm than good, having forgotten why she wanted to become a lawyer in the first place.
 * Meaningful Name - As pointed out during Chapter 2, "Cheiron" is a mythological Greek figure who carried dead souls to their rightful place, and an "Archer" fires arrows with great accuracy. As a lawyer, she must both be accurate in her arguments and want to send criminals to their rightful place.
 * Sadly Mythtaken. Charon was the guy who ferries souls to the underworld, Cheiron or Chiron was a centaur who taught several heroes, including Heracles and Achilles.
 * Maybe not. Cheiron did help form the Centaur Crew, and she started teaching them about law and order after defeating Kokuryu.
 * "Sagitta" alludes to both the constellation Sagitta (the arrow), and the constellation and zodiac sign of Sagittarius (the archer). Sagittarius is depicted as a centaur, and the gang she formed to protect Harlem was called the Centaurs. The constellation is also occasionally conflated with Cheiron's mythology (who is more properly represented by Centaurus).
 * My Greatest Failure - Her backstory:.
 * Peek-a-Bangs - When she lets her hair down.
 * Sassy Black Woman - Subverted. Despite having a strong personality, Sagitta doesn't litter her dialog with "jive talk" and her severe attitude in the initial chapters of the game is revealed to be the result of suffering serious loss in her past. Once she gets past it, her character tones down significantly. In other words, she's not a walking stereotype as the trope would suggest.
 * Stellar Name - "Sagitta"rius the "Archer"
 * Tsundere
 * Whip It Good - Her STAR's weapon

Subaru Kujou
Her (?) true identity is completely unknown. However, Subaru is definitely from a noble Japanese family and excels at Noh and other traditional Japanese dances.


 * Asexuality - Possibly. Subaru doesn't reveal his/her gender to Shinjiro even if they end up as a couple, which might suggest that she doesn't think it's going to be an issue (or she might just be holding off telling Shin until it's relevant, which is also pretty in-character for Subaru).
 * Bifauxnen - Lampshaded by Subaru herself.
 * Defrosting Ice Queen
 * Flower Motifs - Her attack animations have flowers and petals everywhere. Her super attack on the ground is "Lunatic Bloom".
 * Gay Option: ...Maybe. Lampshaded in her Coupling Attack, which is set up like a typical boys' love manga.
 * Informed Attribute - She's the official loner of the team, but in most cases she'll be the first girl(?) who has any real time for Shinjiro (particularly in Cheiron's chapter).
 * Insufferable Genius
 * Kate Higgins: English voice actress
 * Kuudere
 * Meaningful Name - "Subaru" is the Japanese name for the Pleiades, a star cluster that's part of the constellation Taurus. Guess what her zodiac sign is?
 * Paper Fan of Doom - Her weapon of choice. Subaru uses it in the OVA and it cuts through metal.
 * Stellar Name
 * Technician Versus Performer - Very much a technician, which sees her hit a brick wall with jazz and other music that needs to be "felt."
 * The Power of Trust - In her(?) chapter, states that she gives Shinjiro "[her] ultimate trust".
 * Third Person Person - It's the way (s)he gets around having to state his/her gender, without all the slashes and brackets included in this sentence.
 * That said, (s)he does sometimes use gender-specific pronouns and when (s)he does, they're female ones. (S)he does this while also using her own name ("Subaru will sleep by herself") which seems to undermine that reason. Maybe (s)he's just doing it for the traditional egotistical reason.
 * It is important to note that Subaru always uses gender-neutral speech in Japanese. Unfortunately, in English it is difficult to keep her lines completely ambiguous with the way sentence structures work and lack of gender-neutral words that refer to other people...
 * Unperson - Seems to be intent on making herself this, given Subaru's preoccupation for not leaving evidence of her existence behind. Which might suggest that a high-profile performer was perhaps a bad career move.
 * Vague Age - Doesn't appear to have aged much in at least a decade...
 * Wholesome Crossdresser - Whichever gender Subaru is, (s)he's worn both male and female outfits, so by default...
 * Yamato Nadeshiko - In the English version, the term is "Yamato Maiden", but still counts.

Diana Caprice
A young doctor who's as compassionate as a goddess.


 * Combat Medic - In battle, she has the best healing ability by far as well as wide splash damage in her normal attack. Her super attack in aerial combat targets allies and restores them to full health.
 * Covert Pervert - See that adorable sickly girl in the wheelchair who still believes in Santa Claus? Behind those glasses lies a Yaoi Fangirl.
 * She also hits on Subaru by accident in one of the post final boss events!
 * Keep in mind no one knows what gender Subaru is, if she's a girl, it counts as Bi the Way.
 * Friend to All Living Things
 * Ill Girl - Given a year to live. You are charged with restoring her will to live.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness - She still believes in Santa Claus, for crying out loud!
 * She sometimes shows less innocent sides of her personallity, her Covert Pervert sometimes becomes not so covert. It's especially noticeable during the times Shin is crossdressing.
 * Karen Strassman: English voice actress
 * Love Freak - She believes love is the most important thing in life, NO MATTER WHAT. Gender is not an issue.
 * Well it wasn't, until she HERSELF gets a love letter from a female fan, for which the correct dialog option is to pretty much throw back the same thing she told Shin earlier to convince him that his nonexistant closet is okay. Subaru and Shin then convince her to accept the love.
 * Meaningful Name - Caprice is short for Capricorn. Diana is born January 12, making her sign...
 * Meganekko
 * Stellar Name - Capricorn.
 * Yaoi Fangirl - She encourages Shin towards Ho Yay during the times he's dressed as Peppermint.
 * You Can't Fight Fate - Her mentality at the beginning of her chapter. Seeing her shed it results in a Crowning Moment of Awesome.

Rikaritta Aries/ Rosarita Aries
An energetic and merry little girl from Mexico. She loves to sing and dance.


 * Badass Adorable
 * Big Eater - She even shouts the names of food during her Super Move!
 * Bling Bling Bang - Her pistols.
 * Disappeared Dad
 * Dub Name Change - Possibly because "Rikaritta" is not even close to a realistic name for a Mexican girl.
 * Eat the Dog - her weasel partner, Niccolo, doubles as emergency rations.
 * Now where have we seen this before...
 * Freudian Excuse - Where her fear of failure comes from.
 * Genki Girl
 * Guns Akimbo
 * The Gunslinger
 * Honest Axe - "Gold gun, or silver gun. Which do you want to be shot with?"
 * Meaningful Name - her official profile lists her birthday as April 2, which would make her an Aries.
 * Melissa Fahn: English voice actress
 * Stellar Name
 * Token Mini-Moe

Ratchet Altair
Captain of the Star Division and Broadway's number one star.


 * Adorkable: When the city isn't under attack or the mood isn't serious, Rachet can be very clumsy and shy. It's played amazingly well, you might not even notice it too much if you're not paying attention to her.
 * Harem Nanny - Subverted in that she IS a love interest.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Hot Chick in A Badass Suit - AND HOW!
 * Instant Illness - Shin gets this for getting nervous and going out in the cold to wait for her on the date, so Ratchet spends the day trying to figure out how to make him feel better. On the other hand, she's not very good at it.
 * Julie Ann Taylor
 * Knife Nut - Of the throwing variety.
 * Mentor Ship - If you take her route.
 * Meaningful Name - Altair is the brightest star in the Aquila constellation - the Eagle. Even more meaningful in the movie that is the chronological prequel to Sakura Wars V.
 * New Game+ - Beating the game once is required to get her ending.
 * Rescue Romance - Shin risks his life to save her from the villan in the first battle.
 * Sexy Mentor
 * Stellar Name
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo - She manages to fit this DESPITE having Hair of Gold AND being completely Adorkable.
 * The Obi Wrong - Ratchet loses her spiritual power early in the game, needing to be rescued by Shin. This forces her into stepping down from her position, though it ducks Quickly-Demoted Woman in that she actually remains his commanding officer for much of the game, the game acknowledges his lack of experience, and Shin has to actually work to get her position instead of getting it by virtue of being a dude.
 * Shin doesn't even take the captain's position until the very end. Ratchet for the most part, is still in charge.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl - The tomboy to Glycine, but girly to Maria.
 * Shin doesn't even take the captain's position until the very end. Ratchet for the most part, is still in charge.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl - The tomboy to Glycine, but girly to Maria.

Michael Sunnyside
The commander of the New York Combat Revue and the owner of the Littlelip Theater.


 * Bunny Ears Lawyer
 * Gratuitous Japanese - He's not shy to using Japanese phrases to help Shinjiro feel at home.
 * Or just as likely, because he's more than a little obsessed with Japanese culture himself.
 * Large Ham - AND FUCKING HOW!
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Occidental Otaku
 * Screw the Rules, I Have Money - Uses this for a good purpose once.

Plum Spaniel/Cherry Cocker
She rollerskates all around the Littlelip Theater, delivering drinks as a waitress.


 * Cool Big Sis
 * Dub Name Change - Possibly to make a very strange name sound sensible in English...and to add a naughty pun.
 * Gag Boobs - In fact, taking a picture focusing on them earns some affection from her!
 * Mission Control

Anri Yoshino
The vendor at the shop inside Littlelip Theater. She also creates all of the stage costumes for the Star Division.


 * But Not Too Foreign - She's half-Japanese.
 * Mission Control
 * Tsundere - Very, very tsundere.

Yuichi Kayama
A friend of Shinjiro's uncle that helps Shinjiro adjust to life in NY. Also runs a shop called Romando, where special photographs can be obtained if a player puts in the right codes during the "A Free & Easy Day In NY" mode.
 * As compensation, though,.
 * Actor Allusion: At one point, Kayama brags that he's the man who makes the impossible possible; makes sense, given he's voiced by Takehito Koyasu.
 * Dropped a Bridget On Him - He hits on Peppermint at one point.

Carlos
One of the residents of Harlem. Is a part of the "Cerberus/Centaurs" gang, which Cherion was once a part of.

Bill
One of the executives of Steam Frontier, a development company. Plots to demolish Harlem and establish a higher-class district in its place.


 * Corrupt Corporate Executive

Mori Ranmaru
One of the main antagonists, whom assumes the form of a green-haired bunny boy with a scythe. Is first fought in Chapter 1, trying to blow up Liberty Island.


 * Historical Villain Upgrade - The real Mori Ranmaru was Oda Nobunaga's most trusted servant (and a bit more than that).

Kokuryu
One of the villains trying to conquer NY, whom assumes the form of a red-haired woman with a Russian accent dressed in black armour.. Calls herself the founder of order, and thinks that all who go against her should burn in hellfire.

 * Hiroshi Kamiya
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist - Definitely comes across as a bit more sympathetic than the typical Sakura Taisen antagonist.
