Sakura (さくら Sakura): An alien from planet Merle (メルル星 Meruru-sei). The people of Merle were creatures similar to those known on Earth as "angels"; they possessed powers to soothe and pacify all around them, man and beast. Seeing their threat immediately, Star King Bazoo annihilated their planet first in his conquest of the universe, but the people of Merle set up a doll to send forth the offspring of their civilization throughout the universe, with Sakura ending up on Earth.
