Best Cardcaptor Sakura Characters

Cardcaptor Sakura is an anime that centers on Sakura Kinomoto, a girl who gains magical powers after accidentally freeing the Clow Cards. These are a set of magical cards that she must now retrieve.
The Top Ten
Kinomoto Sakura

Sakura is a really sweet and cheerful girl. She is always so nice and friendly towards everyone, even to Syaoran, who always sneers at her.

Unlike some other shoujo main characters, Sakura isn't really a crybaby, whiny, or weak. Instead, she is actually quite determined, somewhat smart, and quite strong. She can capture the cards with her own wits and strength, even though she also needs some help from either Syaoran or Kero sometimes.

Yes, she has a few weaknesses, such as being scared of ghosts, somewhat clumsy, and can be clueless about certain things, but those are the things that make her more realistic.

Daidouji Tomoyo

Despite her antics, such as following Sakura wherever she goes while carrying her recorder to capture Sakura's activities (especially when she is capturing the Clow Cards), Tomoyo is a really kind, caring, and supportive friend to Sakura. She is always there for Sakura no matter what. She and Sakura have a really nice bond with each other. Sakura also tries hard to do everything for Tomoyo to manifest her kindness towards everyone she loves.

Plus, Tomoyo is also a really great clothing designer because she can make so many nice outfits for Sakura when she is on her card-capturing missions. Her clothing designs range from cute to unique, especially the pink outfit she made for her during the second movie to match with Syaoran's green outfit that Tomoyo also made.

Meiling Li

At first, I didn't really like her because she always clings to Syaoran and is so jealous towards Sakura or everyone who gets near Syaoran. Actually, behind her clinginess and possessiveness towards Syaoran, she is quite caring towards him due to the fact that she is Syaoran's cousin and she loves him.

Throughout the series, she slowly becomes more friendly and nicer towards Sakura and the others while she tries not to cling to Syaoran as much. In the end, she, along with Sakura and Tomoyo, can be really good friends.

Even though she was heartbroken when Syaoran said that he loves Sakura, she slowly tried to accept his love for Sakura and be supportive towards their blossoming relationship. Syaoran, too, is nice and caring to Meiling, despite being annoyed with her sometimes. Syaoran always views Meiling as if she is his own sister, and he shows his brotherly side for her, especially in the later episodes.

Syaoran Li

He is my personal favorite character of the series. Here are the reasons why I like him so much:

1. He was protective of Sakura all the time, even when they were still rivals.
2. He always helps Sakura to capture the cards.
3. He was the one who consoled Sakura when Yukito rejected her. He gave her the handkerchief.
4. He treats Meilin like she is his own sister even though he is annoyed with her sometimes.
5. He helped Sakura to transform the last two cards (Light and Dark).
6. When Sakura doubts herself, he gave her some encouragement to get the job done.

Kero (Cerberus)

He is so funny, being gluttonous and obnoxious, especially in the later episodes. His true form is also really awesome. He looks totally like a golden lion.

He's really cute and so funny! Always a charm to watch and read!

Naoko Yanagisawa
Kinomoto Touya

Touya can be a little jerky, especially towards Sakura because he likes to tease her and calls her "monster." But actually, Touya really cares for Sakura and is protective of her (even though his protectiveness towards her can be overboard at times).

I also like his close bond with Yukito throughout the series. It was so heartwarming when Touya sacrificed his power in order to save Yukito.

Sasaki Rika
Chiharu Mihara
Kaho Mizuki

The Newcomers

? Maki Matsumoto
? Wang Wei
The Contenders
Nakuru Akizuki (Ruby Moon)
Eriol Hiiragizawa

He is mysterious yet very gentlemanly. He is sneaky and crafty, yet he is all-around nice. Season 3 of Cardcaptor Sakura wouldn't be complete without him.

Yue

He is super cool and looks like an angel with his long white hair. He is stoic and distant, but he is a really loyal person.

Tsukishiro Yukito

Yukito is a really nice guy. He smiles a lot and is friendly towards everyone. His relationship with Touya is also quite interesting to watch.

Nadeshiko Kinomoto
Sonomi Daidouji
Takashi Yamazaki

He is the funniest supporting character ever. His lies are so hilarious in the later episodes. Without his lies, the show wouldn't be as funny and would be kind of boring.

Plus, he and Chiharu make a really hilarious couple.

Suppi (Spinel Sun)
