Kimihiro Watanuki

Kimihiro Watanuki is the main protagonist from the xxxHOLiC series.
== Charactah Account ==
Watanuki is a high school student whose life has been a rather difficult one—not only have both his parents died, forcing him to live alone, but he is plagued daily by spirits that only he can see (both the ability to see them and the cause of their attacks are evidently heritable traits—apparently Watanuki's blood smells very delicious to spirits). 
One day, Watanuki enters into an agreement with Yuuko to work for her in exchange for the fulfillment of his wish–to never see spirits again. This marks the beginning of Watanuki's very involved part-time job, a fated meeting with a certain quartet from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, and so many "chance" happenings which occur not out of coincidence, but "hitsuzen".
Watanuki is known for a having both a volatile and caring nature to him. Depending upon the person he talks to, his emotions tend to be overly exaggerated. With Himawari he throws himself into the air accompanied by hearts and a "Himawari-chaaaaan!!" squeal. With Domeki, he almost always expresses irritation with various facial expressions, screaming, and arm motions that reminds Himawari of an angry cat. With the exception of these two and Yuuko, Watanuki tends to address everyone around him with formality and kindness.

== Trivia ==
* He had already met Yuuko before their meeting in xxxHolic Episode 1, but he doesn't remember as his memories had been removed afterwards as a price for a wish he made.
* Mokona likes to call him 'shigatsu tsuitachi' which is the usual way to read his last name, meaning April 1, and can also be taken to mean April Fool.
* His signature is a bird, in contrast with Yuuko's which is a butterfly. It's a similar shape to the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle logo and it's inspired by Syaoran, as seen in xxxHolic special chapter. Incidentally, in an early chapter when Yuuko used a location spell that turned a handkerchief into a butterfly, she mused that "if it had to go farther, it would turn into a bird".
** The "bird and butterfly" motifs were seen used previously in Cardcaptor Sakura, where Clow Reed created his guardians with bird wings, and his reincarnation, Eriol Hiragizawa, created his guardians instead with butterfly wings. 
* In Horitsuba Gakuen, his traits are still the same as he does in xxxholic. He still hates Doumeki and likes Himawari, gets along with both of the Syaoran's and Sakura. His dishes are usually praised by their Home Economics teacher, Yuui. However, during the introduction of the new students, Watanuki had his heterochromia and his attitude was more similar to the one he displays after inheriting the shop.
* Watanuki is the only main xxxHOLiC character to wear glasses, and his eyes are drawn in a unique way among the rest of the cast, a trait he shares with Yuuko and Doumeki. 
* All the girls that Watanuki and Doumeki meet together say that they look like good friends.
* Sometime after Yuuko's death, Watanuki changes the style of his glasses from oval-shaped glasses to a pair of circular like glasses that he finds in the treasure room which resemble Clow Reed's glasses.
* Watanuki gets his pipe cleaned out and fixed at the Moon Rabbit Kiseru Shop.
* It is hinted that Watanuki had the power to stay youth for even 100 years because of his power. All the magicians have a longer life span that normal humans because of their powers, which is also referenced in Tsubasa, and is also mentioned that Watanuki can still "see" without his glasses.
* Usually says: Ah! When he remembers or realizes something.
* Watanuki bears a strong resemblance to Clow Reed rather than his own parents, though in his younger years his personality isn't similar at all to Clow's. He does however, share Clow's magic circle, and in the later chapters he receives a pair of glasses identical to Clow's, furthering their similarity in appearance. 
* Some people are unable to see Watanuki. When Watanuki tries to protect Kohane from her mother in TV studio, the people can´t see Watanuki but the cameras record him. This is a result of his unnatural existence as Watanuki shouldn't have been born in the first place.
* As the main protagonist, Watanuki appears in every chapter and episode of the series and most of the scenes. If there is a scene where he doesn't appear, he's mentioned or is close to the place where the scene happens.
* Watanuki's known to have great speed and agility. It can be seen in several scenes when pursued or attacked by a spirit dodging each of its attacks.
* During his involvement with the twins, Watanuki gives Kaoruko a motto which is the same one used by the protagonist of Card Captor Sakura: Everything will be all right.
* Watanuki is a secondary character in Drug&Drop, the revamp/sequel to Gohou Drug.
