Naohito Sakuragi
Naohito Sakuragi, aged 15â16, is the second of the two student council secretaries during Yuki Sohma’s presidency. He appears only in the manga. When he meets Yuki, he claims he is Yuki’s “rival”because he has a secret crush on Motoko Minagawa, president of the Yuki’s fan club.Naohito is depicted as a no-nonsense and short-tempered young man who is frequently angered by Kakeru Manabe and Kimi Toudou’s antics. In an author’s note, Natsuki Takaya noted that she never drew him smiling. He works hard at his student council duties and absolutely refuses to call the council the “School Defense Force,” as Manabe wants. Manabe and Kimi sometimes call him Chibi-suke,which irritates him because he is sensitive about his short stature.
