Career

Ciudad Juárez based luchadora técnica. Came from a wrestling family. Her uncle is Príncipe de Oro who made his debut in Torreón, Coahuila. Years later, on or about 2005, her siblings debuted in Ciudad Juarez, La Chiquis (exótico) and Jashiro, a high flying técnico. On December 25, 2007, Sakura made her debut as a luchadora técnica. Her wrestling style is high flying. Her first maestro was Vaquero II, after him Cinta de Oro, Takeda, Black Juvy, Alma de Ninja, Pegasus, among others who contributed with her preparation.

Her ring name was inspired on the anime series Sakura Card Captor which she loved so much. One month before her debut, she was told she had a debut date, her maestro Vaquero II asked to look for a name and a mask (if she wanted to go masked). At first, she had no name, then she remembered the anime character and chose the name of Sakura. On that time, she had no a clear idea which mask design would want and use. Only had in mind a small domino mask. But, when she met Omar Morales (+) helped her to improve the design respecting her original idea. He only accommodated and added other designs making it more colorful.

Her debut was on December 25, 2007 Arena Unidos. She was well received as a local fan favorite was in Arena Anáhuac. In the beginning, her path in the world of lucha libre was difficult, because there were no other luchadoras at the time of her debut and local luchadores did not like the idea of women wrestlers. On that time there were about six luchadoras and eventually more added and were imposing in the ring.
