Sakura Kinomoto

Sakura Kinomoto, also known as Sakura Avalon, is the titular main protagonist from the Cardcaptor Sakura series.
== Charactah Account ==
Sakura wanders in her father's basement one day and accidentally sets loose a deck of nineteen/fifty-two tarot-like magical cards, each containing a magical spirit, into the wild. Annoyed, the book's guardian Cerberus (Kero-chan) declares her the new Cardcaptor who has to track them down and recapture them. Tagging along on the chase is her best friend Tomoyo and rival Syaoran.
Sakura is an extremely energetic, cute, beautiful, sweet, cheerful and a very kind character. She is very athletic, being a member of her school's cheerleading squad and an excellent runner, a trait she inherited from her father. Her "invincible spell", "Everything will surely be all right.", has carried her through innumerable trials and obstacles as she masters her magical skills. Her catchphrase is "Hoe!", which is used whenever she is shocked or scared even the slightest. She also frequently shouts "KERO, NO!!!", when scolding Kero.
Sakura's optimistic and trustworthy character allows her to be friendly with everybody, she is very outgoing and the entire series focuses on the friendships she creates with people, whether strangers, loose acquaintances, or rivals. In fact, her personality is a dominating factor in her relationships, especially with Syaoran Li. Though sometimes she's quite gullible and believes what everyone tells her, her charm can win over anyone (as shown with Syaoran in the series). She's also known to be very scared of ghosts.

== Trivia ==
* Sakura and her Japanese voice actress Sakura Tange share the name "Sakura".
* Despite possible timeline inconsistencies for either the anime or manga versions, she was confirmed to be 13 in the Clear Card Arc by the official CCS app and Sakura’s Japanese voice actor, Sakura Tange. (This includes her official age conflicting with that of a real-world based) .
** As early as Chapter 5, Touya stated that he was 10 years old when Sakura was 3 . Which would make their age difference about the difference in that length of time, this fact also lines up with Touya being in college in the Clear Card Arc.
* In the English Dub, her name was originally going to be changed to Nikki, but this was decided against.
** In Greek Dub, her name was changed to Nicky although her name on the cards and her gloves wasn't changed.
* Whenever she's distracted or shocked, she says "Hoeeee!" which is what she says in the Tokyopop manga although it's later changed to "Phwee?".
* Sometimes, during cheer-leading practice, especially during baton throwing, Sakura will occasionally get distracted, causing the baton to hit her on the head which seems to be a running gag in the series.
* Although she wasn't good at singing songs in the OVA You're Wonderful, Sakura-chan! Tomoyo's Cardcaptor Sakura Video Diary!, there are more than 10 songs in her name. Among them, the Shiawase no Mahou was the only one that she performed in the animation.
* Sakura has achieved notable popularity in Japan. In both 1999 and 2000, she won the Animage Grand Prix for Best Female Character. She also won the Anime Saimoe Tournament 2002 .
* In the manga, Sakura is said to be the key to preventing a disaster, although it is later revealed that the trial with Yue and Eriol's actions are not the disaster which Clow predicted.
** One possibility is that the disaster refers to the events of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle: Sakura had to give the Star Wand to Clone Sakura in order for Real Syaoran to travel to Clow Country. Without Sakura giving the Star Wand to her alternate self, Real Syaoran would not have been able to stop Fei Wang Reed's plans.
