Keroberos, also known as Kero and Cerberus, is one of the main characters from the Cardcaptor Sakura series.
== Charactah Account ==
Cerberus, nicknamed "Kero," is the appointed guardian of the book which holds the Clow Cards. He is one of two magical creatures created by Clow Reed along with the Clow Cards. Before his death, Clow appointed Kero as the one to select the potential candidate to be the next master of the cards, Cerberus himself, and his "brother" and fellow guardian, Yue. After Sakura accidentally releases the cards, Cerberus chooses her to be the candidate and teaches her the basics of capturing the cards. Throughout the series, he displays an extensive knowledge of mysticism. After Sakura passes the final judgment to become the Clow Cards master, Cerberus remains with her as a friend, companion, adviser, and protector when new threats appear.
Having spent a lengthy amount of time in the book while it was in Osaka, Cerberus speaks with a pointed Osakan-accent. He tends to be bossy, demanding, egotistical, and a glutton, but clearly displays his affection for Sakura, especially if she is hurt or in danger. He becomes very fond of video games, and is addicted to sweets. Cerberus spends most of his time in a "false form", a small figure resembling an orange-stuffed animal with wings. Unlike Yue, Cerberus draws his life energy from the sun and is not dependent on the magical power of his master. However, his master must have control of the Firey and Light cards in order to power his true form, a large-winged cat. In the anime adaptation, the Firey card is changed to the Earthy card to avoid to delay his obtaining his true form. Cerberus' name is taken from the Greek mythological figure, Cerberus, a large three-headed beast who was assigned to guard the gates of Hades.

== Trivia ==
* Apparently, Kero spent 30 years asleep in the Clow Card Book before Sakura released him.
* In the anime, Sakura eventually made him a small "home" in her bottom desk drawer.
** The drawer where Kero "lives" is just below the drawer where Sakura keeps the Clow Book; in the manga, he sleeps in Sakura's bed.
* Like Tomoyo Daidouji which usually has a habit of ending phrases with , "~wa", he usually has a habit of ending phrases with "~ya" too.
* Both of Kero's false and true forms are the appearance of a lion; his powers being related to the sun is based on the alchemy symbol of a lion devouring the sun.
