Assuming the guise of Phantom Thief Cherry, she steals to save a church and a child care institution. She's a master of disguise and armed with a whip. During an attempt to steal a painting, she is nearly caught by Robotack and Kamerock before escaping them after she puts them on right trail to the 5th Shyubido Badge.
History[]
Sakurako was the daughter of Dr. Yuichiro Takamine, a scientist who was invited to Harappa Land and worked with Harappa scientists to develop all the Wonder-Type robots. While her father was away, her mother died of overwork and illness, leading Sakurako to blame Harappa Land and her father for her mother's death and vow revenge on both of them.
After Darkrow and Kabados were hired to locate a lost cat (which they had in fact kidnapped), Sakurako Takamine arrived to check up on their branch. Upon her entrance, Darkrow became enamoured with her and ordered Kabados to massage her shoulders. While there Sakurako learned that the two where competing against Robotack and his friends to obtain the Land Tool. After Darkrow and Kabados explained what the Land Tool was to her, Sakurako glanced at clue for the next Shoo-Be-Doo Badge and was able to solve it. She suggested to Darkrow and Kabados that they follow the clue to find the Shoo-Be-Doo Badge first and keep working to obtain the Land Tool, as it could be sold for a lot of money.
When Torabolt decided to personally oversee the Yumagaoka branch in order to better keep watch on Robotack and the hunt for the Land Tool, Sakurako set up a hidden camera in Shardock P.D. Agency to spy on them.
After all the Land Tools were collected, Sakurako, in her "Phantom Thief Cherry" guise, stole the Black Land Tool and attempted to ransom it off to Robotack. However, Dr. Takamine suddenly arrived and revealed that Cherry was his daughter Sakurako. Sakurako then lifted her guise and attempted to make off with the Land Tool, but after fleeing back to the church she was cornered by Robotack, the other Harappa Robots and the police detectives. Torabolt, Darkrow and Kabados then intervened and stole the Land Tool while also wounding Dr. Takamine and forcing him to be sent to the hospital, leading a tearful Sakurako to cry over her father's body.
After the Land Tool was recovered and Harappa Land was saved, Sakurako became a nun at the church to atone for her crimes.
