さ, in hiragana, or サ in katakana, or sa in Romaji under Hepburn romanisation (IPA: /sɑ/), is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. The shapes of these kana originate from 左 and 散, respectively.
Like き, the hiragana character may be written with or without linking the lower line to the rest of the character.
The character may be combined with a dakuten, changing it into ざ in hiragana, ザ in katakana, and za in Romaji. The pronunciation is also changed, to /zɑ/.
