Basic Information

Touya is the king of Clow Country and the older brother of Sakura. He inherited the throne recently and seeks to continue the work his father started. He is very protective of his sister and worries about her constantly, though he begrudgingly admits that Syaoran will take care of her.

Despite being royalty, Touya is a proficient fighter with a sword and is highly knowledgeable about the supernatural, most likely due to his close friendship with High Priest Yukito.

Character History

Touya was born the prince of Clow, but inherited the throne sometime during his mid-teens after the (as-yet-undisclosed) death of his father the king. Touya was raised alongside Yukito, leading to a very close friendship (and perhaps more) between the two of them.

After the death of both the king and the archeologist Fujitaka, Touya allowed Syaoran to continue work on the mysterious ruins in the kingdom, despite Touya's distaste for the boy. Touya and Yukito were both aware that Syaoran was "the one" for Sakura.

When the ruins at Clow were attacked by strange shadowy warriors, Touya arrived to defend against them. He was injured in the battle, injuries that took some time to heal and still leave him somewhat vulnerable.

As Sakura, Syaoran, and the rest travel through different worlds, they have met various iterations of Touya and Yukito. None of these have held the high social status of King Touya, and in fact work jobs in the service sector.

Trivia

• All the versions of Touya are in fact alternate reality versions of Touya Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura. Touya Kinomoto is the older brother to Sakura Kinomoto, but their father is actually Fujitaka. Touya Kinomoto shares a relationship with his reality's Yukito, though it is implied to be closer than the friendship in Tsubasa Chronicle. Additionally, Touya Kinomoto has the ability to see ghosts, an ability not shared by King Touya (or apparently the alternate Touyas). There is one trait of Touya Kinomoto that is shared by the alternates, however: popping up at random points in the story in various menial jobs. This was a running joke on Cardcaptor Sakura.
