Although she fails to admit her feelings in the final episode, Sakura later manages to finally confess her love to Syaoran when he and Meiling return to visit in the series finale movie, Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card.

Eventually, Sakura realizes she is actually in love with Syaoran, but doesn't realize her feelings until he first confesses his love for her. Sakura maintains a crush on Yukito Tsukishiro for most of the manga and anime, but when she finally confesses to Yukito, she is gently rejected and she realizes that she loved him because of his resemblance to her father. She has a big brother that is a chick magnet.

She hates math and is openly phasmophobic. Sakura is athletically gifted and skilled in sports at school, being an excellent runner and called the "best baton twirler in school" by her friends. Sakura is portrayed as an perceptively sweet, extremely energetic and cheerful character who is well-loved, pretty, cheerful, cute and at times a naïve, clumsy, and clueless. Her most defining character traits is her unyielding determination, caring nature and loyalty to her friends. Her "invincible spell," "Everything will surely be all right" ("Zettai daijoubu da yo"), has carried her through innumerable trials and obstacles as she masters her magical skills. Named after the Japanese word for " cherry blossom". Sakura Kinomoto ( 木之本 さくら, Kinomoto Sakura) is the titular heroine of Cardcaptor Sakura. Only Sakura appears as her original self in brief cameos in Tsubasa, interacting briefly with her parallel selves. The anime was dubbed into English by Nelvana under the title of Cardcaptors, with most of the character names changed to English ones with the exception of Sakura (her name repronounced though), Meiling, Cerberus (also repronounced as "Keroberos" based on the Japanese pronunciation of his name), Yue and Clow Reed.Ī large number of the characters reappear as alternate selves in Clamp's other series, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and xxxholic. The rest of the characters are mostly oblivious to Sakura's magical life, aside from her brother Toya who has his own magical powers, and later Eriol Hiiragizawa, who is a reincarnated Clow Reed. The anime also introduced a fourth companion, Meiling Li, Syaoran's cousin and fiancee. Sakura is aided by her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji, who creates battle costumes for her as well as videotaping her ventures as Cardcaptor and later by Syaoran Li, a Chinese boy who is a direct descendant of the Clow Cards' creator Clow Reed. Dubbed the Cardcaptor by the cards' guardian Cerberus (better known as Kero-chan), Sakura must wield the Clow Staff to capture the card spirits and turn them back into cards for her use.

The manga and anime focused on Japanese schoolgirl Sakura Kinomoto who finds the magical Clow Book in her father's basement study, accidentally unleashing the magical Clow Cards loose across her hometown Tomoeda. This article covers the major characters of Clamp's manga Cardcaptor Sakura and its respective anime and movies.
