Sakaki is the personal advisor to Crown Prince Raji Shenazard of the Kingdom of Tanbarun in the Akagami no Shirayuki-hime series. Constantly at the prince’s side, Sakaki serves as both a guide and protector, offering strategic advice, handling sensitive matters on the prince’s behalf, and ensuring that royal protocols are followed. He plays an important role in managing Raji’s public image and private affairs, often stepping in to help navigate the consequences of the prince’s impulsive decisions.
While he initially appears as a background figure in the early part of the story, Sakaki’s character gradually gains more dimension as Raji begins to mature and take greater responsibility as a ruler.
Appearance

Appearance in Anime
Sakaki appears to be in his late twenties, with a refined and composed look fitting of his role as royal advisor. He has gray eyes and navy-blue hair that transitions into a distinct gray streak on top, adding to his sharp and dignified appearance.
He typically wears a black and gold uniform, symbolic of his official status in the Tanbarun court, though it is often concealed beneath a long gray cloak that gives him a more reserved and formal presence. In his younger years, Sakaki wore his hair much longer, tying it back into a narrow ponytail, which added to his traditional and disciplined appearance.
