Sakura Miko

Sakura Miko (さくらみこ) is a Japanese VTuber, virtual idol and member of hololive Generation 0 under COVER Corporation’s hololive production. She debuted on August 1, 2018 and is officially presented as an “elite shrine maiden-idol” from the Virtual Sakura Shrine who dreams of becoming a top idol capable of bringing smiles to everyone. Her current hololive profile lists Tanaka Yuuichi as illustrator and Ordan as New Outfit Designer, while her birthday is March 5 and her official fan name is 35P, pronounced “Miko-P.” Known for her pink shrine-maiden styling, cherry-blossom imagery, gaming streams, music, comedy, “Nya-hello~!” greeting and self-proclaimed elite identity, Sakura Miko has developed a broad merchandise catalog covering figures, plushies, acrylic goods, music, books, gaming products and limited collaborations.

Sakura Miko merchandise draws from several major visual eras, including her standard shrine-maiden idol outfit, casualwear, roomwear, new 3D costumes, concert designs, miComet artwork, Magical Girl holoWitches!, birthday illustrations and 35P-related concepts. Her figure lineup has expanded through Nendoroids, figma, POP UP PARADE, HELLO! GOOD SMILE, Funko POP! and an upcoming 1/7 Date Style figure. COVER also continues to develop new Sakura Miko products in 2026 through her second album and live concert, first picture book, gaming-hardware collaborations and birthday merchandise.

Quality & craftsmanship

• Pink Hair Sculpting: Miko’s pink hair, side strands and characteristic hairstyle need clean sculpt separation, particularly on articulated figures where hair must accommodate head movement.
• Character Color Accuracy: Pink, white, red and black form the core of her shrine-maiden identity, while alternate costumes introduce softer cream, plaid and casual palettes.
• Shrine Maiden Costume: Miko’s default design relies on clean reproduction of traditional-inspired shapes combined with virtual-idol styling.
• 35P Accessories: 35P is more than generic decoration; correct face, size and shape help character-specific figures feel closely connected to Miko’s fan culture.
• figma Articulation: Max Factory’s approximately 140 mm figure uses movable joints and multiple expressions for gaming, comedy and everyday poses.
• Nendoroid Expression Variety: The classic version uses standard, surprised and angry faces, while Casual Outfit Ver. shifts to happy, smiling and troubled expressions.
• Scale Figure Textures: The Date Style 1/7 emphasizes differences between knit fabric, plaid skirt material, accessories and clothing gloss through detailed sculpting and paint treatment.
• Cherry-Blossom Base: The Date Style figure integrates fallen sakura petals into its base, making the environment part of the character presentation rather than using a generic stand.
• Chibi Figure Construction: HELLO! GOOD SMILE simplifies Miko into an approximately 100 mm design with a movable neck and included stand.
• Plush Embroidery: Official Miko plushies rely on accurate hair color, facial embroidery, costume blocks and recognizable pink-and-white visual elements.
• Acrylic Printing: Birthday, Art Selection and concert illustrations should retain sharp line work, accurate pink tones and clean transparent edges.

• Made-to-Order Goods: Birthday, anniversary and outfit collections often use fixed preorder periods, so bonus completeness and packaging condition become more important once official sales close.
• Rerelease Identification: Some popular products have received additional production runs. The standard Nendoroid and POP UP PARADE both have documented rereleases.
• Hand-Finished Paint: Good Smile and Max Factory product pages state that figure paintwork is partially completed by hand, so minor differences between authentic units may occur.
