Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of the sakura shrimp, (Crustacea, Decapoda, ). The circular genome is 16,087 base pairs in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The nucleotide composition of the mitogenome is biased towards A + T (69.9%). The gene arrangement was identical to penaeid shrimps. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis using the nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes placed next to , supporting the conventional taxonomic relationship of and .
