Type: Full. Over shoulders, arms, down thighs "Turtle Shell" style
Features:
Spiral Botan-Giri Mikiri - This refers to the black and white scalloped border. “Mikiri” is the term for the outer border surrounding these “full” style tattoos. “Botan-Giri” means “Peony Cut” and refers to the scalloped, petal-like edges.
Hannya Mask - A masks used by actors in Japanese Noh theater depicting a female demon. The hannya mask is designed to express different expressions when viewed from different angles. When the mask is held straight ahead, it looks angry; when the mask is held a little down it looks sad. The face is said to be demonic, angry, frightening, dangerous while at the same time tormented, sad, heartbreaking, melancholic and sorrowful. The Hannya Mask is used to represent a woman driven to becoming a demon or serpent by jealousy, sorrow, and obsession, often after being betrayed by a lover.
The white Hannya Mask is used to represent a woman of aristocratic status.
Sakura Blossoms - A popular symbolic flower in Japan, cherry blossoms are representative of spring. They are associated with love, impermanence, beauty, optimism, strength as well as fragility due to the short lifespan of the flowers, but endurance of the trees themselves.
Two White Snakes - In Japanese legend snakes represent wisdom, and are messengers of the gods. They protect sacred places and bring curses to those who disturb them. It is considered to be bad luck to see a dead snake, and harming a snake can bring misfortune to entire villages. The white serpent in particular is the messenger of Benzaiten (also known as Benten) the goddess of literature and music, of wealth, and of femininity. She is often depicted adorned with a snake headdress, accompanied by white snakes, or sometimes taking the form of the white snake herself. She is the sole female member of the Shichi-fuku-jin (Seven Gods of Luck) who are associated with happiness and fortune. One legend tell of Benzaiten marrying a dragon in order to subdue it's rampage.
There is a shrine in Iwakuni, Japan dedicated to the Japanese albino rat snake, or Shirohebi. It is one of the few creatures where the albino trait is genetically fixed, and therefore inheritable by offspring. There is a shrine, museum, and live snakes that can be seen there, as well as white snake charms available to purchase.

Sojiro Sakura is alternate universe Kazuma Kiryu with about 15 more years. Same hair. Same facial hair. Look at his clothes. He has an adopted daughter. He seems to have tasted every kind of coffee.
However, this means that Futaba is also Haruka, which I have absolutely no evidence to support.
