Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys go to a cake buffet where they run into two TV actresses who both run blogs. With them is Sakurako, who recently became an assistant to one of the bloggers, Kyona Shono, after her agent got sick. Someone had approached Sakurako's agency and requested a replacement.

Sakurako fades into the background for the rest of the case. After the solution, Kuroda makes a sudden appearance in Tokyo.
Relationship analysis
Mrs. Yonehara
Not much is known about the relationship between Sakurako and her mother. She was raised by a single mother, which probably means that her father wasn't in her life. After her mother's death, she was hired/taken in by the Wakamatsu family.
Kohei Wakamatsu
Her mother was the housekeeper for the Wakamatsu Household. After her death, Sakurako was taken in by the master, who paid for her school and hired her as housekeeper. Sakurako is very grateful to the master, and it seems that he also would confined in her, when Sakurako admit that the master had talked about announcing his long lost daughter to his family and friends.
Naeko Miike
They are childhood friends who were known for always being together. She was one year below Naeko Miike. When Sakurako finds the body of the mistress of the household, she calls Naeko for help.
Kazunobu Chiba
They are childhood friends. She was one year below Kazunobu Chiba.
Conan Edogawa
She seems to have noticed that Conan Edogawa acts differently when talking to adults. Even though Heiji tried to play it off as Conan copying him, Sakurako has witnessed Conan help with the solution of two more cases after that.
Name origin
Like the other suspects in the case she was introduced in, her name follows the theme of "plants" and "gardening"[3]. Sakurako Yonehara (米原 桜子) comes from the rice flower (米 kome (also read yone)) and the cherry tree (桜 sakura). As a housekeeper, she also had her name inspired from that of the actress Etsuko Ichihara (市原 悦子), who starred as the lead role in the TV series The Housekeeper Saw It! (家政婦は見た).
