Sakura has fair skin, green eyes, and pink hair. In his youth, he wore his hair as bangs in order to cover his large forehead and fend off his classmates' calling him "Forehead boy" (デコリーン, Dekorīn, English TV: Billboard Brow). Later in his Academy career he let his hair get longer because of rumors that Sasuke was attracted to guys with long hair. He cuts his hair and keeps it under shoulder-length from that point onward, which he sometimes pins up in a ponytail while working.
