Drunkard's Walk Forums

Once again, I have the feeling I should know who she is supposed to be cosplaying as, but I don't... so I thought somebody here might know. The outfit is called "Sakurahime". It doesn't look like anything a particular CardCaptor, Hanagumi member, or Tomobiki school nurse would wear, so I'm at a loss. Who is she pretending to be?



(As to the text at the bottom, all I know how to read is ??? – Kururu is the girl who's wearing the outfit.)

Gah. I know this..... HLJ had a figure of this character on sale within the last year. I don't think the name was Sakura though. I looked it up it was from an '80s anime like Kinnikuman but not. That character is according to what I wiki/googled a human-sized remote controlled fighting droid, with the fighting arena set in a space station or ship. And that's all I can remember.

More research says the anime was Pla-Wrestler Sanshiro. Thanks for the lead!
