| abstract | - Zakura Terui (照井・本桜, Terui Zakura; Shining Beauty amongst the Cherry Blossoms) is the Emperor of the Crimson Sovereigns and the former duotagonist of Bleach: Rising Phoenix. In his character arc, Zakura fought to maintain peace and stability in the world and protect spiritual beings and Crimson Sovereigns alike from threats, though Zakura would like nothing better than the opportunity to stop fighting. During his tale, he was found washed ashore naked by Yuuki Kaburagi, near the Walls of Eyes in Rukongai. He showed symptoms of amnesia, as he is unable to identify himself, nor where he lives. He eventually took up the name addressed on a letter which he found on the beach along with him, "Zakura Terui". As it turns out, Zakura's real name was Tsukasa Tsugami (津上・阜, Tsugami Tsukasa; Chief of the God of the Harbor); and "Zakura" was a split personality carved by Tsukasa to achieve his goals unawares—however, through interactions with those he cares about, "Zakura Terui" became real, and eventually, turned into the dominant personality; with Tsukasa sealing himself, along with Mujaki Zetsurin, away in the collapsing lair of the Crimson Sovereign's homeworld, Akasekai. Because of his aversion to violence, Zakura is seen as a pushover to many of his opponents, though when sufficiently angered, it is generally assumed that Zakura has even more power than Gai Nagareboshi. He is known as the "Dragon-Blooded Knight" (竜血の騎士, Ryūketsu no Kishi) to his foes.
