Transform the person in the uploaded image into a clean modern Japanese anime character portrait.

Preserve the person's facial structure, hair shape, skin tone, and expression — translate them into the anime style. Sharp expressive eyes with detailed iris highlights and reflections, smooth gradient shading on face and hair, stylized hair with detailed individual strand work in a slight breeze, friendly slight smile. Background: a soft pastel sky with gentle gradient and floating cherry blossom petals.

Style notes: modern 2D anime aesthetic, cel-shaded with subtle gradients, vibrant but balanced colors, clean black line work on key features, high-quality anime style portrait.

Avoid: photographic realism, Ghibli-watercolor style (this is sharper than Ghibli), identity changes, generic chibi style, dark moody palette, watermark, fake text.
