Sakura Wars 4: Fall in Love, Maidens[a] is a video game co-developed by Red Company and Overworks for the Dreamcast. The fourth entry in the Sakura Wars series and the last for Sega home consoles, it was published by Sega in 2002. Defined as a “dramatic adventure” game, Sakura Wars 4 combines overlapping tactical role-playing, dating sim and visual novel gameplay elements.

Sakura Wars 4 begins in Tokyo six months after the events of Sakura Wars 3: Is Paris Burning?; Imperial Army Lieutenant Ichiro Ogami has returned from Paris and reunited with the Flower Division of the Imperial Assault Force. All is quiet until a powerful spirit breaks free of its imprisonment in Ginza and begins terrorizing the city using a powerful golden Koubu. Immobilized by a golden mist produced by the Koubu, the Flower Division are easily beaten back and their theater base damaged. The ghost belongs to Ōkubo Nagayasu, a corrupt samurai daimyo enraged at his vilification by the people following his death. When Nagayasu is about to kill the Flower Division in another attack, the Paris Division from Sakura Wars 3 arrives and rescues them, answering the Imperial Assault Force’s call for aid. Working together, the two groups weaken Nagayasu, then Ogami and his chosen companion use a powerful Koubu to exorcise the ghost, restoring peace to Tokyo.
