- “Bakushin on one! Bakushin on two! Bakushin, bakushiiin!”
- ―Sakura Bakushin O
Sakura Bakushin O (サクラバクシンオー, Sakura Bakushin O) is a character in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. A hot-blooded class representative, she possesses a reputation for her endless speed and energy. She is referred to as "Bakushin O" for short by her classmates.
Profile[]
A class representative who'll rush recklessly into any situation. Once her mind is set on something, she'll bakushin dash straight to her goal—often causing more chaos than she helps resolve. She never acts out of self-righteousness, however, and tends to feel downhearted if no one is asking for her assistance. Her aptitude for sprinting is quite overwhelming, and she is confident that she can outrun anyone with unmatched speed.
Appearance[]
Sakura Bakushin O is small in stature compared to other umamusume with an average build. She has chestnut-brown hair that is held in a high ponytail that just reaches the top of her thighs. Her bangs fall cleanly on either sides; a style she prefers because not only does it show her face well, it is a gift from heaven as an honor student (in her words). Her headband is gold and she wears a purple scrunchie on her right ear, which match with her purple and gold hair ribbons. Her eyes are a purplish-pink in color with a cherry blossom pattern at the center of them.
Her race outfit consists of two parts. She wears a sleeveless pink, white and grey jacket topped with gold epaulets and a gold tie. The jacket splits into different parts at the bottom, with one rectangular flap at the crotch and five flaps that resemble cherry blossom petals. She wears a short, black cape with a white patterned line and cherry blossom petal-shaped flaps at the end on her back. Her bottoms are loose fitting black shorts that have a white line encircling the bottom. She also wears white thigh high socks that have a pink line at the top and grey cherry blossom petals falling to the bottom. As accessories, she has black and white gloves with black cuffs as well as white and black shoes with pink heels on the bottom.

Trivia[]
- She is shown to be good friends with Mihono Bourbon, Rice Shower and Biko Pegasus.
- She has a very good relationship with her parents, who praise her accomplishments. Her favorite dessert is her mother's sakuramochi.
- Her iconic catchphrase, 驀進 (Bakushin), translates to "dash".
- According to the drama parts in STARTING GATE 10, Bakushin O is so bad at cooking that her home economics teacher begs her to let her give credit just for being in the class.
- Bakushin O is unable to see her own mistakes, such as her terrible drawing skills. When a classmate asked if she was drawing an alien instead of a portrait, she claimed that it must have meant her drawing skills were out of this world.
- She is regarded as the easiest Umamusume to train in the game due to her speed buff and short distance/mile races.
- Sachika Misawa, the voice actor for Bakushin, reveals that her performance as the character greatly exhausts her stamina and mental state compared to her other roles, such as Moca Aoba from BanG Dream!, who has a more laid-back personality.
- In the third season of the anime, there are a pair of scenes where Bakushin, not looking where she's going, runs face-first into Kitasan Black. In real life, Bakushin is Kitasan Black's grandfather.
