Yukito Tsukishiro
Toya's best friend and the human form of the guardian Yue.
Yukito Tsukishiro is the best friend, and later boyfriend, of Sakura Kinomoto's older brother Touya in Cardcaptor Sakura, and the human alter ego of Yue, the Clow Cards' moon guardian. Although he is Yue's temporary form, other characters, Eriol and Yue among them, treat him as a separate heart from Yue's true self. He is kind and gentle, and at the start of the series Sakura has a strong crush on him.

Background
When Sakura confesses her feelings, Yukito gently turns her down and reveals that he loves Touya. After Sakura collects all the cards, Yue needs more power than her magic can supply: Yukito eats ever more, starts sleeping constantly, even standing up, and finally begins to fade away. Touya gives his own magical energy to Yue to sustain them both, and Yukito becomes aware of Yue's existence; the grandparents he thought he lived with were a false memory.
He seems to have come into being shortly before he met Touya, so that he could be near the future master of the cards. Eriol tells Yue that Clow had foreseen Sakura and Yue becoming romantically involved, a prophecy Yukito broke by falling in love with Touya. Clear Card hints that Touya and Yukito are a couple, which Clamp's Satsuki Igarashi confirmed in 2022. Yukito and Yue are usually voiced by the same actor: Megumi Ogata in Japanese, Samuel Vincent in Cardcaptors (where Yukito is renamed Julian Star and his love for Touya is cut) and Justin Briner in the Clear Card arc.
