Seishiro Sakurazuka (Japanese: 桜塚 星史郎, Hepburn: Sakurazuka Seishirō, November 22, 1965 - c. 1999) is a fictional character that was created by Clamp and first appeared in the manga series Tokyo Babylon. He appears as a kind veterinarian who shows romantic affection for the young exorcist (referred as onmyōji) Subaru Sumeragi. During the story, it is revealed he is the Sakurazukamori (桜塚護, lit. "Cherry Blossom burial mound guardian"), Japan's number-one assassin who is targeting Subaru. The character returns in the apocalyptic manga X as a combatant in the battle of Armageddon, a Dragon of Earth and Subaru's rival. An alternative version of Seishiro appears in Clamp's crossover series Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle as a young treasure hunter who is searching for two vampires, one of whom is an alternative version of Subaru.
Seishiro was created alongside Subaru and his twin sister Hokuto as the main characters for a dōjinshi novel. After undergoing major changes, he was used as a main character in Tokyo Babylon. Multiple actors voiced the character in animated adaptations of the manga. Since his introduction in Tokyo Babylon, publications for manga and anime have received Seishiro favorably for his relationship with Subaru, which became one of the most famous rivalries in X. His role in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle also received positive responses for his action scenes and connections with the protagonist Syaoran.
