Yaeka Sakuragi is the only daughter of Kazuhiko Sakuragi, the boss of the Sakuragi Family.
She is a first-grade elementary school student, balancing an ordinary school life with the unusual fact that her father is a yakuza boss.
Despite her family background, Yaeka lives a comparatively normal daily life.
At school, she is not particularly shunned or bullied because of being a yakuza boss’s daughter.
Yaeka is pure, innocent, and emotionally honest, as you would expect from a child her age.
However, she is also very shy and introverted, finding it difficult to interact with people around her.
She tends to keep to herself in social situations and is not naturally outgoing.
This quiet nature contrasts with the rough world her father and his subordinates belong to, making her stand out even more.
Tōru Kirishima
Tōru Kirishima is a member of the Sakuragi Family and the story’s main protagonist.
He is assigned as Yaeka’s caretaker, bringing him back into her life after several years apart.
Kirishima first met Yaeka when she was a baby.
Seven years later, they reunite when he becomes responsible for looking after her on a daily basis.
Kirishima respectfully calls her “Ojou”, meaning something like “young lady” or “miss,” reflecting her status as the boss’s daughter.
In contrast, Yaeka calls him simply “Kirishima” without honorifics, showing a mix of familiarity and childlike bluntness.
Kazuhiko Sakuragi
Kazuhiko Sakuragi is the boss of the Sakuragi Family and Yaeka’s father.
Although feared as a yakuza boss, he is deeply protective of his daughter and entrusts her care to Tōru Kirishima.
Even though she is the daughter of a yakuza boss, Yaeka’s school life is depicted as relatively peaceful.
There is no clear indication that she is ostracized or bullied by classmates because of her family background.
Her difficulties in socializing stem more from her own shyness and introversion than from external hostility.
This creates a gentle contrast between the dangerous image of the yakuza world and Yaeka’s quiet, everyday struggles to open up to others.
