Golden Sakura (Japanese: ゴールデン桜, Hepburn: Gōruden Sakura) is a sports manga series about mahjong, written by the professional mahjong player Sayaka Okada and drawn by Kazuo Maekawa. It was serialized by Takeshobo in the magazine Kindai Mahjong from December 29, 2018, to September 1, 2020, and collected in three tankōbon volumes in 2019–2020.
The story follows Takuya Saotome, who gets tricked into taking on debt, and in desperation resorts to a plan involving cross-dressing to earn money as a female professional mahjong player under the name Sakura Shindou. Okada got the opportunity to write the manga through her work as a columnist for Kindai Mahjong, and drew on her own experiences for the story. The manga was popular with readers, and was praised for its professional mahjong setting.
