text: Haruna Sakurada (桜田春菜) is the eight grade teacher of [[Usagi| Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] , [[Molly|Naru Osaka's (Molly Baker)]] and [[Umino Gurio|Gurio Umino (Melvin)]]. She is also known as Patricia Haruna in the dubbed North America version of the anime. In both the anime and manga, Haruna Sakurada share similar appearances most notably her long brown hair and her young age. She is also noted for upholding high standards in her classroom often punishing [[Usagi| Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] for her poor grades and tardiness. Despite this, Haruna Sakurada also shares some common interests with her female students such as dating. Lovesick and obsessed with finding a husband, he engages in immature behaviour such as mailing a letter to a radio program. Such an action has made her an easy target for the [[Dark Kingdom]] during the first series, even though she is always saved by [[Sailor Moon]]. Like most of the other minor characters, she fades into the background as the anime series progresses (and, vanishes entirely when the Senshi are promoted to the ninth grade).
  
  In the live-action series (Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon), she is not very strict and is in fact friendly to all her students including Usagi. She does however, assign quizzes and clean-duty when requires and can be eccentric at times.  
  
  In the original anime, she is voiced by Chiyoko Kawashima, and in the dubbed north American version of the anime by Nadine Rabinovitch. She is played by [[wikipedia: Cheiko Ooduka]] in the live action version. She even appears in the musical and has been played by two actresses: Kasumi Hyuuga and Kiho Seishi.[[File:059.jpg|thumb|Ms Haruna Sakurada]]
