CARDCAPTOR SAKURA - Sakura Kinomoto - Figure 14x24cm

Based on Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card, this Banpresto figurine depicts Sakura Kinomoto in the white outfit worn in the opening sequence of this part of the series. The figurine measures approximately 14 cm in height and 24 cm in depth, and is depicted in a seated pose with a particularly wide horizontal stance. 

Sakura is depicted sitting with her legs tucked in front of her, her Dream Stick extending diagonally across the figure. Her outfit is predominantly white, featuring a series of voluminous elements reminiscent of feathers and wings, complemented by small light blue and gold details. The staff, meanwhile, features its pink handle and winged tip adorned with a star – a characteristic element of the Clear Card arc.

The sculpture also captures the movement of the costume’s various layers: feather-like sleeves and collar, a skirt flaring out widely around the character, and long white extensions forming a natural backdrop behind her. Sakura’s brown hair, her large green eyes and her gentle expression round off a composition that leans more towards the series’ fairy-tale aesthetic than towards a battle scene.

Character background and universe (Lore)

Sakura Kinomoto is the heroine of Cardcaptor Sakura. At the start of the story, she is a schoolgirl from Tomoeda who discovers a mysterious book containing the Clow Cards in her father’s library. Upon accidentally releasing the cards, she meets Kerberos – nicknamed Kero – the book’s guardian, who entrusts her with the mission of retrieving them. Sakura thus becomes a Cardcaptor and gradually learns to use her own magical powers.

After recovering the Clow Cards, Sakura manages to transform them into Sakura Cards, powered by her own magic. Her adventure does not end there, however. In Clear Card, she is now in her first year at Tomoeda Secondary School and is reunited with Syaoran Li, who has returned from Hong Kong. One night, Sakura has a strange dream in which a mysterious hooded figure appears. When she wakes up, all her Sakura Cards have turned transparent.

New supernatural phenomena then begin to occur in the town. Guided by a key that appeared in her dream, Sakura obtains a new magic wand and begins once again to capture cards with unknown powers: the Clear Cards. This new quest unfolds with the help of Kero and her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji, who continues to make the costumes Sakura wears on her adventures.

The figurine faithfully captures the visual style of this new era. The Dream Staff, the white winged outfit and the luminous aesthetic reflect the world of Clear Card and its opening theme ‘CLEAR’, whilst the seated pose emphasises a gentle, fairy-tale-like portrayal of Sakura rather than a battle scene.
