The ''[[Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle]]'' [[manga]] series and its respective [[anime|animated]] adaptations feature a large cast of fictional characters designed by [[Clamp (manga artists)|Clamp]]. The series takes place in a fictional [[multiverse]] with [[Parallel universe (fiction)|parallel dimensions]] where several characters &ndash; taken from many of Clamp's past works &ndash; can appear in several of the universes as having the same character names and designs but differing histories and settings.

The story begins in the desert Kingdom of Clow where [[Syaoran (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle)|Syaoran]], a devoted and kind archeologist, investigates its ruins. His childhood friend [[Sakura (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle)|Sakura]], the kind and well-loved princess of the kingdom who holds an undeveloped magic,  mysteriously has her memories scattered across the dimensions in the form of feathers and will die if they are not returned to her. To save her, Syaoran takes her to the Dimensional Witch [[Yūko Ichihara]] where he meets two more of the series' protagonists who have arrived with similar wishes: [[Kurogane (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle)|Kurogane]], a rough-mannered ninja, and [[Fai D. Flowright]], a laid-back magician with a dark past. In order to journey across the dimensions, they receive a cheerful creature named [[#Mokona Modoki|Mokona Modoki]], the fifth of the group, from Yūko. On their journey across the dimensions, the group decide to join Syaoran to retrieve Sakura's feathers, as a mean to accomplish their wishes. The protagonists are all linked by the series' main [[antagonist]], the sorcerer [[#Fei-Wang Reed|Fei-Wang Reed]] who oversees the journey.

Using [[Osamu Tezuka]]'s [[Osamu Tezuka's Star System|Star System]], Clamp designed the series' characters based on the ones they used in their previous works. Few of the characters appearing in ''Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle'' are the exact ones from other series, most notably the ones from ''[[xxxHolic]]'', series which often crossovers ''Tsubasa''. The characters from ''Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle'' have received positive critical response by critics due to their traits, and development across the series. Various types of merchandising have also been released based on them.

==Creation and conception==
Using the ideas of [[Osamu Tezuka]] and his [[Osamu Tezuka's Star System|Star System]], the series contains various [[fictional crossover|crossover]] characters from many of [[Clamp (manga artists)|Clamp]]'s series, including most notably ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', ''[[RG Veda]]'', ''[[X (manga)|X]]'' and ''[[xxxHolic]]'' from which the main characters are derived.<ref>{{cite book |last=Fujie |first=Kazuhisa |author-link=Kazuhisa Fujie |author2=[[LABAAMEN]]  |title=Tsubasa Chronicle Factbook: Mystery, Magic & Mischief |publisher=[[DH Publishing]] |year=2008 |page=10 |isbn=978-1-932897-26-5}}</ref> The series' characters were designed by Clamp writer [[Mokona]],<ref>{{cite book |last=Fujie |first=Kazuhisa |author2=LABAAMEN  |title=Tsubasa Chronicle Factbook: Mystery, Magic & Mischief |publisher=[[DH Publishing]] |year=2008 |pages=8–13 |isbn=978-1-932897-26-5}}</ref> while Syaoran and Sakura were chosen as its protagonists because Clamp wanted to use ones whose original series had happy ending. However, in contrast to [[Syaoran Li]] and [[Sakura Kinomoto]] from ''Cardcaptor Sakura'', Clamp pointed out that they would have to go throughout the series to get their "own happy ending".<ref name="animexpointer"/> [[Nanase Ohkawa]] explained that while some characters appearing in ''Tsubasa'' are the same ones from other of their works, their traits and personalities were modified due to different backstories.<ref name="staffinter">{{cite web |title=Interview with Ageha Ohkawa and Mitsuhisa Ishikawa|author=Chang, Chih-Chieh|publisher=Anime News Network|date=March 2, 2006 |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2006-03-02/7|access-date=November 11, 2010}}</ref> Clamp found drawing old characters again interesting. They were careful not to make mistakes since there were some of them they barely remembered how to illustrate. The team also decided not to draw inferior eyelashes which resulted in notable changes in the faces.<ref name="clampnokiseki">{{cite book |last=Clamp |author-link=Clamp (manga artists) |others=Translated and adapted by [[Tokyopop]] |title=CLAMP no Kiseki Vol. 12 |publisher=Tokyopop |year=2005 |location=[[Los Angeles]] |pages=5–7 |isbn=978-1595326164}}</ref> Little accessories were given to the characters in order to avoid unnecessary details and thus facilitate an easier transition to anime.<ref name="clampkiseki11">{{cite book |last=Clamp |author-link=Clamp (manga artists) |others=Translated and adapted by [[Tokyopop]] |title=CLAMP no Kiseki Vol. 11 |publisher=Tokyopop |year=2005 |location=[[Los Angeles]] |page=5 |isbn=978-1-59532-615-7}}</ref>

As ''Tsubasa'' is connected with ''xxxHolic'', the characters' designs are also meant to be similar. Like ''xxxHolic'', the artwork is sometimes influenced by [[Ukiyo-e]] art style which leads to the characters have longer limbs. Another similarity between both the series is the use of one-eyed characters or people who lost their sight, which is meant to express the feelings from them. The characters of Fai D. Flowright and Kurogane were created in order to have adult characters who would side with Syaoran, who was much younger and was still in development during the series' start.<ref name="animexpointer">{{cite web|title=Anime Expo 15 Cosplay 2006 |publisher=John (Phoenix) Brown |date=January 11, 2009 |url=http://www.phoenixanime.com/ax06/page5.htm |access-date=April 21, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007051344/http://www.phoenixanime.com/ax06/page5.htm|archive-date=October 7, 2011|url-status=dead }}</ref> As a result of the manga being aimed at young male demographic, characters are designed to appeal of them such as Syaoran who appears as an action hero. In order to make fights more entertaining Clamp decided to include yells of fighting techniques for the first time in a manga of them. Although Kurogane was the only character who did this at first, the authors also planned to make Syaoran do this.<ref name="clampnokiseki"/>

A common [[Trope (literature)|trope]] Clamp uses in their works involve two characters being identical with the most notorious case in ''Tsubasa'' being the two Syaorans. Clamp aimed to make both of them equally different based on their actions despite being virtually identical. Clamp also aimed to create another link between Syaoran, Sakura and [[Kimihiro Watanuki]], the protagonist of ''xxxHolic''. Nanase Ohkawa referred to both clones appearing in the series with the term {{nihongo|"utsushimi"|写身}} to make them look like a departure from the original English word that fans often mention, aiming for different take of the cloning.<ref name="chroni">{{cite book |last=Clamp |author-link=Clamp (manga artists) |title=公式ガイドブック ツバサ CARACTere CHRoNiCLE |publisher=[[Kodansha]] |year=2016|isbn=978-4063931280}}</ref>

===Casting===
The two characters who share the name of Syaoran are voiced by [[Miyu Irino]] Irino said that ever since the introduction of the original Syaoran{{mdash}}who he also voiced{{mdash}}he sometimes had problems voicing both characters. Fellow voice actress [[Yui Makino]] also discussed Irino's role, saying that he was the most difficult character to cast because of the requirement to portray the two Syaorans. Irino said that he grew attached to the role since he played the role of Syaoran for several years starting doing the television series when he was in high school and that he was in college by the original video animations. Still, he was interested by the fact that the two characters he was voicing, Syaorans, were also fighting each other.<ref>{{cite web|title=舞台は日本国！ 「ツバサ」アニメ企画に向け監督＆キャスト陣にインタビュー|trans-title=The stage is Japan!

Namikawa stated that, from his point of view, Fai was hard to understand but there were signs in the manga that he suffered too much in his childhood. As the anime series did not focus on him, Nanikawa looked forward to explore Fai's background in the original video animations following the ''Tokyo Revelations'' trilogy. However, as the staff skipped the Celes arc and instead moved to Japan's, Namikawa expressed disappointment for not being able to portray the scenes of Fai. Nevertheless, Namikawa expected satisfaction with the way he worked for the series.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/117/117012/|title=舞台は日本国！ 「ツバサ」新アニメ企画に向け監督＆キャスト陣にインタビュー|website=Dengeki Online|language=ja|access-date=November 18, 2020}}</ref>

In English, Sakura was voiced by [[Monica Rial]]. She enjoyed the series due to how cheerful are most of the cast and their visual appeal regardless of drama.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://insider.animeworldexpos.com/awc-2012-interview-with-monica-rial/|title=AWC 2012: Interview with Monica Rial|website=Insider Animeworld|access-date=November 13, 2021}}</ref> Kurogane is voiced by [[Christopher Sabat]]. Sabat compared Kurogane's characterization with ''[[One Piece]]''{{'}}s [[Roronoa Zoro]] and ''[[YuYu Hakusho]]''{{'}}s [[Kazuma Kuwabara]], describing them as "the tough guy with a heart of gold". As a result, Sabat feared that he sometimes performs similar voices despite the fact the characters are different. He also tried seeing the original actors' works, in order to avoid to get a more specific delivery.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.crunchyroll.com/es/anime-feature/2015/02/02-1/feature-interview-with-voice-actor-christopher-sabat|title=FEATURE: Interview with Voice Actor Christopher Sabat!|website=Crunchyroll|access-date=November 18, 2020|date=February 5, 2015}}</ref> English Voice actor [[Vic Mignogna]] referred to Fai alongside Qrow from ''[[RWBY]]'' as one of his favorite characters based on their calm personalities in contrast to other works he has done involving characters who have a tendency to scream. As a result, he views Fai and Qrow as characters he can perform easily for a long determined time.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-faithful-interviews-vic-mignogna-at-the-dragon-ball-super-broly-premiere/|title=Toonami Faithful interviews Vic Mignogna at the Dragon Ball Super: Broly premiere
