Card Captor Sakura: Yue 04

In contrast to his kind and gentle alter-ego, Yue is a serious and aloof individual who is extremely loyal to Clow Reed. Similarly, although Yukito is fond of Sakura, Yue is reluctant to accept her. As the series progresses, however, Yue begins to respond to Sakura’s request that, rather than being his master, she wanted to be his friend.

This series of photos of Loki Heart cross-playing shocked me; in a very good way! I’ve always admired her cosplays as female characters, but I never thought she would cosplay one of my favorite male characters! (Although technically, CLAMP did state that Yue is neither human nor male!)

Please support her in her new Facebook Page: Loki Heart! Thanks again for letting me feature this!

Card Captor Sakura: Yue 03

When Sakura began transforming the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards, it became clear that she was not strong enough to sustain Yue. His temporary form, Tsukishiro Yukito, began to eat more than usual and slept constantly in order to compensate. It was only after Toya gave his power to Yue that he was able to sustain his existence.

Card Captor Sakura: Kinomoto Toya and Sakura

Like many older brothers, Toya constantly teases his little sister Sakura, but he actually cares about her a lot. He is well aware that Sakura is the Card Captor, and he often takes part-time jobs that allow him to be close by whenever Sakura is working on capturing a card. Toya also has powers of his own, including the ability to see ghosts and other non-humans, the ability to sense when Sakura is in danger, and mild precognition.

Isn’t this adorable? Please give the cosplayers your support with Baozi as Toya and Fuzuki as Sakura! Thanks to Karen for sharing this!

Card Captor Sakura: Li Syaoran 04

Li Syaoran was initially attracted to Tsukishiro Yukito, feelings which he mistakenly thought of to be love. It was later revealed that this infatuation was due to the high moon power inside Yukito, as he was actually the temporary form of Yue, the judge who was allowed to test the next Clow Card Master for his or her worthiness. After the Erase card’s capture however, Syaoran began to develop feelings for Sakura instead.

What a cute Syaoran! I wasn’t much of a CCS fan back when it was airing in local channels here, but I changed my mind right around the time I received a deck of Clow Cards of my own. Thanks to Michelle for sharing this!

Isn’t she cute? Among all of Sakura’s outfits, this is probably the most iconic and most easily recognizable! I think I might actually like this one the best too, next to the kimono she wore in that episode where her brother, Toya, gave his powers to Yue. Thanks again to Laura for sending this in!

Card Captor Sakura: Yue 02

Just as Cerberus is the elector of the new Clow Card Master, Yue is the judge who tests the candidate if they are worthy of the position. Unlike Cerberus, however, Yue is heavily dependent on the power of his master. During his first few appearances in this form, Sakura’s powers were not enough to sustain him, and his human self, Yukito, had to compensate by means of food and sleep.

A cosplay judge is not supposed to play favorites, but oh my goodness. I had a sneaking suspicion this cosplayer had something up his sleeve when I saw a pair of folded wings behind him. Imagine my surprise when those wings opened and closed on stage! Kudos to you sir! I want wings like that too!

Card Captor Sakura: Tsukishiro Yukito, Kinomoto Sakura, and Kinomoto Toya

Source: hagaren ハガレン

Tsukishiro Yukito is the close friend of Sakura’s older brother, Kinomoto Toya, and the human alter-ego of the Clow Card guardian, Yue. He is kind and gentle, and at the start of the series, Sakura has a crush on him, mainly because of Yukito’s resemblance to her father.

Toya, on the other hand, teases Sakura frequently, but he does care a great deal for her and works hard to protect her. He is fully aware that his sister is a Card Captor, and thus takes on several part-time jobs that places him nearby when she is working on capturing a card.

Although I know Syaoran is Sakura’s true love, I still wish Toya didn’t ruin her date with Yukito in this photo. Amazing cosplay once again by Hagaren and Mao Mao (猫猫)! Beautiful setting too! Thanks again to Genevieve for sending this!

Card Captor Sakura: Kinomoto Sakura 08

Did you know?

Sakura's character design for the manga was originally developed by Mokona of Clamp. She was designed to capture the image of Mokona's then two-year-old niece Kawaji. Kawaji wore short hair in pigtails much like Sakura does in the anime and manga.

I think Sakura just became that much cuter to me.

Card Captor Sakura: The Flower

The Flower card was first introduced in the 10th episode of Card Captor Sakura. It appeared during a sport’s day festival at Sakura’s school because it likes happy occasions. She then proceeded to make tons of flowers rain down and almost buried everyone in the school. When Sakura found her, she danced with her before allowing the new card captor to seal her away.

Beautiful cosplay by Bellatrix Aiden! The way she interpreted the Flower card is absolutely stunning! Thanks to Alyssa for sending this in!

Card Captor Sakura: The Watery

One of the elemental cards in Card Captor Sakura, the Watery enjoyed staying with its element in the town’s aquarium as it has the ability to control water. This is the fourth card Kinomoto Sakura captures in her quest to retrieve all the Clow Cards that have scattered. She was able to seal Watery by using the Windy and Fly Cards.

Cosplayer ~Federkiel takes an artistic approach to the Watery card with breath-taking results! I love all the blue and green hues she used in this cosplay. Her photographer, =Andy-K did an excellent job as well as her make-up artists *wanasabi and *Naraku-Sippschaft. Thanks to Ian for sending this in!

Card Captor Sakura: Li Syaoran, Daidouji Tomoyo, and Kinomoto Sakura

When Sakura opened the book of the Clow Cards, she accidentally unseals the cards and its guardian, Cerberus, says it is now her responsibility to retrieve the cards once more. Her best friend, Tomoyo, films her adventures and provides her with special clothes she designed for each exploit.

Not long after, a rival appears before her; Li Syaoran, a descendent of Clow Reed, creator of the Clow Cards and their guardians, Kero and Yue. And now they must compete to see who is truly worthy of becoming the Master of the Clow Cards.

Cute cosplay! I believe that Sakura may be the same Sakura I featured last year? Thanks to KLineFeild for sharing this with us!

Card Captor Sakura: Kinomoto Sakura 06

A 10-year-old girl from Tomoeda, Japan, Sakura finds a mysterious book entitled “The Clow” in her father’s study. There, she awakens the book’s guardian, Cerberus, and find out that the book once contained 19 powerful, magical cards. Cerberus then enlists Sakura to become the card captor in order to reclaim the cards that were lost.

That is the story of the manga, of course. The anime has a different interpretation.

So pretty this cosplayer is from Winter Comiket! She’s definitely the older version of little Sakura, but I don’t think anyone is complaining! Thanks to Yumi for sending this in!

Card Captor Sakura: Kinomoto Sakura 05

When 10-year-old Sakura finds a mysterious book in her father's study, she had no idea opening it would change her life forever.

Created by an English-Chinese Sorcerer, Clow Reed, the Clow Cards were sealed into the Clow Book upon his death closely and guarded by Cerberus, the Beast of the Seal. Because the cards had been released, Sakura must find and seal each and every card before catastrophe befalls the world.

She's just one of the cutest cosplayers I've ever seen. If anyone knows who this cosplayer is, please do leave me a comment. Wonderful job!

Card Captor Sakura: Li Syaoran 02

Sakura's rival who eventually became her close friend and ally, Syaoran had mixed feelings towards Sakura because his duty as a member of the Li clan of sorcerers from Hong Kong prompts him to be the inheritor of the Clow Cards. When Sakura becomes the official master of the Clow Cards, however, he changes his attitude completely and eventually ends up falling in love with her.

The teddy bear in the picture is quite significant with regards to their relationship. In the CCS world, if someone were to give a hand-made plush to the one he loves, and if she were to give the plush the same name as its creator, they are destined to be together forever. What happens in the anime and the manga are two variations of the same ending, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone.

Pretty unique way of cosplaying Syaoran. I believe his costume is from another art illustration by CLAMP. Still very impressive though, wouldn't you agree?

Card Captor Sakura: Kinomoto Sakura 04

Upon capturing all the Clow Cards and slowly transforming each one into Sakura Cards, Kinomoto Sakura faced her final judgement against Eriol. Much like Clow's magic, Sakura's magic is a balance between the sun and moon, which is later noted by Clow himself, stating Sakura's magic comes from a brilliant, ever-shining star.

Because she successfully transformed all the cards and developed her magic steadily, Sakura is said to have surpassed Clow Reed as being the most powerful magician in the world.

Cute cosplay. I wonder which card she's holding? Perhaps Windy, her favorite card, or the Hope Card, the last card which is also known as the unsealed card. Guess we'll never know unless this cosplayer herself tells us. Great work!

Card Captor Sakura: Kinomoto Sakura 02 and 03

These girls are probably among the cutest cosplayers I’ve ever seen.

Featuring the student Kinomoto Sakura and the Card Captor Sakura! I love the little wings on Card Captor Sakura’s back, and their hats too! I’m not sure, but they could be sisters, or even twins. I wish there was a larger version of this picture so we can see their faces better, but this was the best that I could come up with.

How do you think they fair with the other Sakura cosplayer?

By the way, I’ve opened up a Blogger account that has the same content as my Sanriotown one. Why you ask? It’s because I’ve been seeing a lot of blogspot blogs that have been taking my content without crediting me. I’ve ranted about this before, and even though most of the pictures are not mine, I’d still prefer to be credited when they’ve obviously taken my pictures and content.

My thanks to everyone supporting my blog(s)! Oh, and please answer the poll I have in コスプレイ. Thank you~!

Card Captor Sakura: Yue

The second guardian of the Clow Cards, Yue is the judge who determines whether or not the new master Cerberus chooses is worthy to be his master. Just as Cerberus is the Guardian of the Sun, Yue is known as the Guardian of the Moon, and controls the wind and water. He exists as a human in the form of Tsukishiro Yukito, a close friend of Kinomoto Sakura’s brother Touya.

Alright, alright, obviously he’s missing his wings, but I still find this cosplay to be very impressive. A nice touch with the Clow Cards, really.

Card Captor Sakura: Li Syaoran

Li Syaoran is the distant relative of Clow Reed, the creator of the Clow Cards. Because of this, he believes that he is the rightful inheritor of the Clow Cards, not Kinomoto Sakura. Thankfully, Sakura eventually proves herself worthy to Syaoran, who later becomes her ally.

I’m not sure how the cosplayer looks, but this is a beautiful shot. The green lake looks good on picture, though I’m not sure I’d want to see it in real life. I can’t imagine what moldy lake smells like…
