Originally released in 1996, the first Sakura Wars game follows Ichiro Ogami, a recent naval academy graduate, who gets assigned to act as captain of the Imperial Combat Revue’s Flower Division. He is at first shocked to find out that the group is made entirely of theater actresses, but quickly bonds and gains the trust of each member amidst a looming threat of demon attacks in Tokyo. The game was a surprise mega hit in Japan and spawned numerous adaptations, sequels, spin-offs, stage musicals, and merchandise. The game would later receive a remake in 2003 titled, Sakura Wars: In Hot Blood.
