Sakura Shinguji
This article is a list of fictional characters from the ''Sakura Wars'' series. The visuals of the characters were created by Kōsuke Fujishima and designed by Hidenori Matsubara (who is also known for Neon Genesis Evangelion (franchise), NGE), while their scenarios were written by Satoru Akahori. The names of the various troupes/divisions of the ''Imperial Combat Revue'' (e.g., flower, star, moon, wind) are modeled on those of the ''Takarazuka Kagekidan'' (Takarazuka Revue). Similarly, the names of the troupe members are often patterned on the name of the troupe—flowers in the Flower Division and the ''Paris Combat Revue'', celestial bodies in the Star Division (the New York Combat Revue also uses celestial bodies). The naming patterns are likely the work of Akahori, who uses such throughout most of his creations (e.g., in ''Sorcerer Hunters'' and ''Saber Marionette J'').

Sakura Wars
is a Japanese steampunk media franchise created by Oji Hiroi and owned by Sega. It is focused around a series of cross-genre video games. The first game in the series was released in 1996, with five sequels and numerous spin-off titles being released since then. The series—set during a fictionalized version of the Taishō period—depicts groups of women with magical abilities using steam-powered mecha to combat demonic threats. The original ''Sakura Wars'' was an ambitious title for the then-in-production Sega Saturn. The first game's overlap of the tactical role-playing, dating sim and visual novel genres prompted Sega to classify it as a "dramatic adventure", a moniker which has endured during the series' lifetime. Both Red Entertainment and Sega co-developed most of the games until 2008, when the series went on hiatus. Sega rebooted the series as sole developer because of fan demand. Recurring elements include anime cutscenes created by notable studios including P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Animation
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.

The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.

Naginata
The ''naginata'' (, , ) is a polearm and one of several varieties of traditionally made Japanese blades ('' nihontō'').

Similar to the katana, naginata often have a round handguard (''tsuba'') between the blade and shaft, when mounted in a koshirae (furniture). The ''naginata'' blade is forged in the same manner as traditional Japanese swords. The blade has a long tang (''nakago'') which is inserted in the shaft.

Even after the Muromachi period (1336–1573), when ''katana'' became the mainstream, ''tachi'' were often worn by high-ranking samurai.
