   Sakura, the heroine of the story, lives with her father, Fujitaka Kinomoto & her brother, Touya Kinomoto. Her mother, sadly, had passed away when she was only 3 years old. Sakura studies in Tomoeda Elementary School and is best friends with Tomoyo Daidouji. Cheerleading and extracurricular activities appeal to her and she is indeed what you might call, a 'natural'.
   One day, Sakura heard some strange noises from her father's study in the basement. After investigating, she came across a book known as 'The Clow'. She opened it and saw a deck of cards in the book. The first card had the title 'Wind', and just as Sakura mentioned the word, a gust of wind suddenly appeared and blew the cards in all directions, leaving her clutching one single card.
   Kerberos, the guardian of the seal awoke and was shocked to find out all the cards were missing. He then appointed her as the Card Captor and Sakura was granted the powers of the key that transforms into a rod. Using those powers, she is able to capture cards as well as call upon the other cards for other purposes. Her journey to capture all the Clow Cards before they cause havoc then begins...

    Touya is Sakura's older brother. His favourite pastime seems to be teasing Sakura by calling her a 'monster', but deep down he really cares for her and is very protective. Since the incident of Shaolan asking Sakura for the Clow Card, he always has a pair of dagger-eyes for Shaolan. Touya's best friend is Yukito and they usually go to high school together.

   Tomoyo Daidouji is Sakura's best friend. Smart, caring and incredibly sweet-looking, Tomoyo is the one who provides Sakura with all the costumes to wear while capturing the Clow Cards (designed by Tomoyo herself, naturally). She also loves filming Sakura on her many adventures. Her mother is a president of a corporation and very wealthy, so Tomoyo has a lot of female bodyguards. Tomoyo also seemed to have a crush on Touya Kinomoto in the beginning, but later on it became more obvious that she was not.

Blood Type: O
Favorite Subject: Math, PE

   Li Shaolan is from Hong Kong, a descendant from Clow Reed, the magician who created The Clow. When he shows up in Tomoeda, he demands that Sakura give him The Clow. However, things didn't work out the way he expected it to, and he ends up working alongside with her in capturing the cards.
   Initially, Shaolan seems to have a crush on Yukito. He even earned the title of "Sakura's Rival" from Tomoyo because he and Sakura both adored the latter. It turns out, much later that he was actually attracted to Yukito's real identity, Yue because of his relation to Clow Reed. He then realized his love for Sakura and blushes whenever she is around.

              
Kerberos

   Affectionally known as Kero-chan, this Osaka-accent 'stuffed animal' is the guardian beast of the seal. He accidentally fell asleep on duty and awoke only to find out the Clow Cards had all flown away. Kero-chan then gave Sakura the power of becoming a Card Captor and guided her in capturing back all the cards. Created by Clow Reed, Kerberos was given the job of guarding the Clow Book. In order to return to his original form, the Firey and Earthy cards must be captured.

   Meiling never appeared in the manga of CCS, just the anime. She is Shaloan's cousin and fiance and is very protective of him. Meiling and Shaolan has a history way back, so you can imagine how it was when Sakura showed up. She wasn't nice to Sakura at first, even helping Shaolan capture the cards, leaving no space for Sakura to intervene. However, she soon returns to Hong Kong, but appears again later on in the 2nd movie.

   Yukito is Touya's best friend and classmate. He is a kind and gentle person and always has a smile ready for everyone. It is somewhat amazing that Yukito eats a lot and rather quickly, judging from his small frame. He cares a lot for Sakura and Touya and goes to school with them nearly everyday. Yukito's real identity is Yue, but he does not know that himself. It also turns out that Yukito has feelings for Touya.
