Overview
'Cardcaptor Sakura' follows the story of Sakura Kinomoto, your average fifth-grader, after she opens a mysterious book she finds in her father's storage titled "The Clow" and accidentally releases all the "Clow Cards" inside, save "The Windy", to run amok in the district of Tomoeda. Also released is the sleeping guardian of the cards, Keroberos (fondly nicknamed "Kero-chan"), who explains to Sakura what exactly the Clow Cards are and, more importantly, what is now expected of her as the next cardcaptor. She is reluctant to accept her role but, pressed by the magical being, she gives in. She is given a magical key (the very key she used to open The Clow) which, when activated, turns into a wand that gives her the power to capture and activate the Clow Cards.
One day, Sakura Kinomoto, a 12-year old girl found a mysterious book from her father's library. As she takes the book, she unwittingly unseals it and sends dozens of cards flying out and scattering themselves all over town. There she also meets Keruberus (later called by Sakura as Kero-chan), the guardian of the cards which she then learned to be the magical Clow Cards created by the great wizard Clow Reed.
Though unwilling at first and more or less helped by Kero-chan's tidbits of information, Sakura as Card Captor, together with her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji, who has a habit of making Sakura (and at times also Kero-chan) wear strange costumes while filming her captures of the cards, and Syaoran Li who is a rival card captor and direct descendant of Clow Reed himself, gathers the scattered cards which bring about anything between silly mischiefs to destructive menaces around the once quiet town of Tomoeda.
