Yukito Tsukishiro

## Voices

**Yukito Tsukishiro** (月城 雪兎, *Tsukishiro Yukito*) is one of the main characters of the franchise, and the main protagonist of the spin-off *Yukito Oujo*. Yukito is Touya Kinomoto’s boyfriend and is the original object of Sakura Kinomoto's affection.

He is the humanoid alter-ego of Yue, the second and last Guardian of the fifty-four Clow/Sakura Cards and their young new mistress. Syaoran Li harbors a crush on him for a while, which is based in his subconscious attraction to Yue's incredibly strong lunar magic.

## Appearance

Yukito has brown eyes and gray hair, often parted on the side. He has large circular glasses, giving him a scholarly appearance. While he is usually seen in his school uniform, he can also be seen wearing in casual clothes, namely jeans and a hooded sweatshirt.

He is described to be the most handsome man on earth, hair silkier than clothing, skin as soft as a feather, eyes sparkling like stars, and a smile brighter than the moon itself. like his cousin Kaguya Houraisen, he has extraordinary beauty.

## Personality

Yukito's ever present smile is evidence of his kind and gentle nature. Yukito is soft-spoken, but seems to be quite popular. He's an athlete to some extent, cooks, bakes, he's a jack of all trades. Tsukishiro is the object of both Sakura and Syaoran's adoration. He loves food and has an enormous appetite. However, it is mentioned somewhere in the third season that Yukito's true form Yue is unable to eat. This suggests that the reason Yukito has such a large appetite because he is *eating for two*. Near the end of the series, it is shown that Yue is losing his power and there is a strong possibility that he will disappear, so Yukito has to eat five times as much than usual. Yukito said "I eat and eat and eat, but I'm never full..." and feels very frail, which is a big worry to the survival of not only Yue but Yukito himself.

## Relationships

### Sakura Kinomoto

From the moment Yukito is introduced, it is clear that Sakura has an enormous crush on him. She continually marvels that he can be friends with her "barbaric brother." Everyone involved, including Yukito himself, believed that his meeting Touya in junior high school three years ago was a coincidence.

### Syaoran Li

For the first season audiences were thinking that Syaoran has a childish crush on Yukito is displayed by him frequently blushing and/or running away in Yukito's presence. Syaoran acts as a rival against Sakura for Yukito's affection. However, it is discovered later that Syaoran was just attracted to the magical energies of the moon residing within Yukito, as Syaoran draws his magical power from the moon. In *Cardcaptors* his fear for Yukito is much more apparent. Syaoran makes it clear he does not have a crush on Yukito as real feelings for Sakura begin to develop.

### Yue

*"We're really that different?"*

Yukito is actually the false form of the Moon Guardian Yue. Although Yue knows everything about Yukito, Yukito is initially unaware of Yue's presence. Once Yukito learns of his stoic alter-ego's existence, the two are able to communicate mentally. It is suggested that Yue is the reason for Yukito's large appetite, as he is in a sense "eating for two."

## Love Interests

### Touya Kinomoto

Touya is Yukito’s best friend from high school. Throughout the series Touya and Yukito's closeness is frequently displayed. Touya gives Yue his powers in order to save Yukito's life. Eventually Yukito openly admits his love for Touya to Sakura after she confesses to him, notably calling Touya his "number one".
