There are fictional magical cards used in the manga and anime series Cardcaptor Sakura. In the end, Sakura Tange (who previously voicing Sakura Mitsukoshi, which also have green eyes like Sakura Kinomoto, in 1997 Face/ SNK's Neo Geo puzzle game Money Puzzle Exchanger) was selected for the role with sound director Masafumi Mima believing her to fit the character thanks to her quiet and strong voice. Neither Ohkawa or anime director Morio Asaka were satisfied with any of the voice actress who auditioned for the role. Picking a Japanese actress to voice Sakura was difficult. Both Syaoran Li and Tomoyo Daidoji were found as popular characters for often comforting the main character based on how the readers related themselves with their feelings for Sakura. As the series' main theme is "love", Clamp focused on the multiple relationships Sakura has. Between the manga and the anime adaptation, nearly 300 costumes were made with most of them being created specifically for Sakura. Her many magical costumes were introduced as CLAMP felt it was "sad" for a girl to wear the same magical costume all the time influenced by the manga series Sailor Moon. The original character's facial expression changed considerably until the manga started. She was designed to capture the image of Mokona's then two-year-old niece Kawaji. Sakura's character design for the manga was originally developed by Mokona of Clamp. She explained that the reason Tomoyo and Sakura did not end up together was not because Tomoyo is a girl, but rather because Sakura did not love Tomoyo in a romantic way. Ohkawa addressed the relationships featured in the series by using Tomoyo and Sakura as an example. The series' main theme is expressed through Sakura, a main character designed to be open-minded about different family structures and kinds of love. Ohkawa wanted to write a story that "minorities would feel comfortable with," referring to the same-sex and taboo relationships featured in the manga. The story was planned to have the theme of "if you try your best, it'll work out", but Ohkawa did not start out with Sakura's "It'll definitely be okay" mindset. Mokona initially drew Tomoyo so it would look like she was in love with Toya, which led to her surprise when she received the script for the chapter which reveals Tomoyo loves Sakura. While Ohkawa planned out Cardcaptor Sakura from beginning to end, she never consulted the plot with the other members, instead giving them the script one chapter at a time. Ohkawa wanted the heroine Sakura to be in the same age group as the majority of Nakayoshi 's readers so that fans could relate to her. The four Clamp artists (from left to right): Satsuki Igarashi, Nanase Ohkawa, Mick Nekoi, and Mokona Apapa created SakuraĬlamp writer Nanase Ohkawa's first impulse was to create a magical girl series, despite not being well-versed in the genre. For the English-language dub of the Clear Card series, she is voiced by Monica Rial, who also does the voice of her counterpart in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.
