Naohito Sakuragi (桜木 直人, Sakuragi Naohito) is one of the minor characters of the Fruits Basket series. He is a first-year student at Kaibara Municipal High School who serves as one of the two student council secretaries during Yuki Sohma's presidency, the other being Kimi Toudou. He is very short-tempered, works hard at his student council duties, and absolutely refuses to call the council the "School Defense Force," as the vice-president Kakeru Manabe wants. When he meets Yuki, he claims he to be his "rival", since he has a secret crush on Motoko Minagawa; president of the Prince Yuki Fan Club.
