For whatever reason, he's an astounding, and for whatever reason, he seems to have an enormously positive impact on every girl he befriends. Nevertheless, people keep calling him a loser - especially in the Tomoyo Arc. He also falls more into actual loser status after he graduates from high school; his nearly superhuman ability to fix every problem essentially evaporates, and he goes from an ' to a genuinely ordinary person. (Not to say he becomes boring; quite the contrary, he becomes more.). This is only in the anime.
In the original visual novel, Tomoya still manages to help a number of people after graduation. It's more like, while his strong point is his ability to help others get through their toughest times, at the end, the one that's left is himself. It's noted several times in the story that Tomoya is unable to do anything for himself, and is only able to be strong when it's for someone else's sake. After Nagisa dies, he falls into a slump, but he's able to come back in full force once he fixes his relationship with Ushio.: He is turned on by fantasies.: Depending on the lighting, he often has and.: / in the.: He periodically attempts to reform, under the influence of Nagisa (in the main series) or Tomoyo (in the ).: In the manga.he looks suspiciously like.: Clannadman.

Tomoya is her 'Clannadman'. Together, they are known as, 'Clannadman and his waifu'. A more derogatory nickname she's picked up from fans who dislike her is 'Cockroach', due to her.: Especially in the, although the game leans that way as well. Game or, more than half the plot is dedicated to her.
She is Tomoya's true love after all. Either way, 'Clannad' is mainly what it is because of the 'After Story' arc, an arc dedicated entirely to her as the heroine.: In the 2006 movie by Toei, Nagisa is a - or at least, she is in comparison to the fretful version of her in the reboot.: Her two red hair barrettes.: With Tomoya.: Tomoya's.: Hauu! Omochikaeri!! Yep, she's Rena Ryuugu from. Also smoking hot redhead and.
She is also. On the dub side.' '.: When she ends up with Tomoya and gives birth to their child, Ushio.: So much that she had to repeat her senior year twice.: Judging by her dialogue in routes that aren't her own, she fell for Tomoya at their first meeting because of his pushing her forward.: In a series replete with them, she still manages to stand out. Once she comes out of her shell, she seems to love pretty much everyone - including her romantic rivals. The one person she believes threatens her relationship with Tomoya is her mother.: She won't let even Sunohara go undefended.: The hill she and Tomoya climb on the way to school in the first episode is an allegory to their growing relationship.
They met amid blowing in as her hair rippled out behind her. And just in case that's too subtle, the anime abruptly shifts from to brilliant colors.?.: Mild example.
Her look and childish demeanor makes her seem like the youngest of the group, when in fact she is the oldest, having had to repeat her senior year. She is one year older than Tomoya, Kyou, Ryou, Kotomi and Sunohara, two years older than Tomoyo and Yukine. Of course, considering who her parents are, there's a very good chance she'll fully belong in this trope when she gets older. Any bets on whether she gets mistaken for Ushio's older sister?.

Among the odd features she shares with her (and one they also share with 'Katsuki Shima' when he's in his female disguise) is a pair of what look like cat ears. Kyou: (coyly) We're alone now. What do you want to do?Tomoya:Kyou: You are really rude.: Kyou and Ryou are both in love with Tomoya.: With Ryou.: Made abundantly clear in the visual novel (less so in the anime), whenever Kyou is talking about how Tomoya needs to pay attention to Ryou more she's crying inside.: Sometimes, especially in episode 10 and 11.: No, she isn't one, but she has one: Button / Botan (ボタン), her pet baby boar, which keeps following her to school.: Her is a dictionary. Usually aimed at Youhei, but sometimes at Tomoya, especially when she thinks (or pretends to think) he's plotting to eat her pet baby boar Botan. (See, above.) (She usually hits Youhei, whereas she usually misses Tomoya. Presumably this is at least in part intentional on Kyou's part.).: The tomboy to her twin sister Ryou's girly girl.: Type 13 with Kyou at A, Ryou at B and Tomoya at C. It gets complicated from there because while the basics are simple (Kyou and Ryou like Tomoya, who is friends with one and barely knows the other and Kyou is supporting Ryou) new factors enter the equation when Tomoya begins dating Ryou on the theory that he might come to like her eventually, but ends up liking Kyou.: According to Ryou, in Kappei's route of the.: Identical in color (although not in cut) to the hair of her twin sister Ryou.: And how!
And unlike everyone else, she wears them to any time, any task, be it a birthday party, school sport or working hard in Kotomi's garden. She stops wearing them when she becomes Ushio's teacher.
However, at that time she wasn't wearing a skirt. Voiced by: (JP), Emily Neves (EN)Kotomi is a: she has and is. Generally she is. She squirrels herself away - she is always kneeling on the library floor, reading.
Absorbing.When Tomoya meets her, he manages to cut through some of her protective layers and socialize with her a bit, but each time he attempts to start up a conversation with her she won't notice him and respond unless he remembers to call her 'Kotomi-chan'. She has a habit of cutting pages from books and newspapers. The polar opposite of, she is. She has a deep-seated fear of bullies and a mysterious man in a black suit.As it turns out, Kotomi was Tomoya's childhood friend. He has forgotten her, although she has not forgotten him. Her parents, important academics, were always too busy to attend her birthday when she was a child.
Before one fateful birthday, they made a promise to attend and give her a teddy bear, but they died in a plane crash before that could happen. The mysterious man in black is actually a friend of her father's, the one who informed her of her parents' death - an association that causes her fear of him years later.Kotomi was too devastated to hear of their death and the prospect of them forgetting her by dying like that without her present and eventually she burnt a catalogue that she thought to be her father's scientific paper (which turns out to be a catalogue for the teddy bear they'd bought her), which started a fire that would likely have burnt down her house, with her in it, were it not for the quick action of that man in black. (Tomoya was there, too, although he forgets about it until near the end of the first season.)After the fire, Kotomi vows to study hard and make amends for her destruction of (what she thinks was) this seminal scientific work, by becoming an important intellectual in her own right. Socializing simply isn't important to her - at least until she meets Tomoya again, when they're high school seniors.Tomoya befriends her and helps her to open up and socialize. Later she discovers that her parents never forgot about her, and the last thing they preserved before their death was Kotomi's present, a teddy bear doll. After this, in the, Kotomi resumes her relationship with Tomoya as his girlfriend. But in the, she gets.Tropes associated with Kotomi:.: 'I can feel your boobs, your boobs?'

(Well, at least until she re-meets Tomoya.).: She constantly skips classes to read in the library, but is still the top scorer in every exam. She is also scouted for overseas study.: Cannot Make A Tsukkomi. She also makes terrible puns and her other attempts at gags also make no sense, including one.: When we first meet her, she's so much in her own dream-world that she doesn't even notice other people trying to talk to her - unless that person is Tomoya and he remembers to address her as Kotomi-chan.

Tomoyo who delivers the frustration of her messed up family that almost considered divorcing by fighting and hurting other people. That changed when her little brother Takafumi, in a desperate attempt to fix things up, either threw himself to the river or gets himself into a car crash, ending up crippled and instantly mending the family and softens up Tomoyo. She later hears her brother's wish to see the sakura tree, and made it her mission to preserve those trees. She later attends at Tomoya's school and starts out by driving out some delinquents that threaten the school, and later spends her time not only to become the (the only position where she can issue orders to preserve the sakura tree), also kicking Sunohara's butt whenever he pisses her off (and repeatedly).

Her route also gets animated in an episode based on her route, whereas she dates Tomoya (whereas other girls don't seem to exist), but both became torn between their status and decided to move on to their own path, breaking up in result.
When Tomoya finally graduates, Tomoyo waits for him and they tearfully reunite as lovers.Tropes associated with Tomoyo:.: If she had to, she'd kick 's ass. She'd apologize afterward, of course. But she'd do it, and you damn well know it.: In a way, in the Tomoyo Arc episode.

Except not.: Seriously, singlehandedly taking out entire groups of gangsters? While still maintaining a hot and appearance?.: When Sunohara and Tomoya fight then end up with bruises the very next. She on the other hand just whatever comes her way while maintaining her appearance.: Averted, narrowly, though she does use a lot of masculine terms like omae and daro.: In the visual novel when she kicks Sunohara, an image of him falling will pop up on the screen, and sometimes stay there while waiting for the reader to click. In one scene, she tells him to hurry and up and fall, because he's blocking the whole screen.: With the spinoff Tomoyo After.: Maybe or maybe not, in the literal sense - although she does become, which suggests a bit of background and interest in student politics. But she definitely has the temperament.: In the, she combos Sunohara with nearly the entire cast during the Founder's Festival.: Indirectly, as when Tomoya turns to dirty thoughts about Tomoyo, she's glad that he's able to think of her that way. And with a little needling, she'll freak and realize that she's thinking of the same things.: By her own admission.

And later: '. /.: She fits the bill, just, though unlike Kyou, she usually does give a warning before attacking.: In the Tomoyo Arc episode.

A rumor about her being a ghost is floating about the school, and she has a tendency to force her carvings on any student she meets, requesting that in return they attend her elder sister's wedding and congratulate her.In reality, Fuko is somehow projecting herself into the school from her comatose body, having been unconscious since she was hit by a car after her first day at the school. As the end of her storyline looms, everyone begins to forget about her, losing the ability to see or interact with her, until a last, massive effort allows her to reappear for a brief moment, and congratulate her elder sister herself.
Not long beforehand, her sister had revealed to Tomoya that Fuko's body in the hospital had 'stopped breathing'.In the anime, Kouko meant that Fuko had a low chance of waking up, as her condition had deteriorated. But this has been officially as of the, where after Tomoya initiates the and saves the lives of both Ushio and Nagisa, a light orb is obtained by Fuko and as a result, she wakes up from her coma.Tropes associated with Fuko:.: When she shows up in. An extreme example: she's Tomoya's age (twenty-five) but connects better with Ushio (who is five).: A little bit, with Tomoya.: According to the.: She ought to be way too old to fit the trope. But she certainly and like a child.: Not in temperament; she's just given the title. And it's not even for a real class.: We lost you for a minute there.
Are you back now? No?.: Is mistaken for one. She's not far off.: Periodically goes into lapses of this when exposed to starfish and Ushio, prompting Tomoya to squirt fruit juice up her nose to snap her out of it.and.: In the anime, after her arc, she magically reappears in short cameos here and there to foreshadow what will happen at the end of the series, and the main page of this show explains that it's also.: Plot-wise, she is an of.: She's actually comatose, and the Fuko we meet is a sort-of astral projection.: Fuko says she wants to do this to little Ushio-chan, Tomoya's daughter, to be her little sister. (Not only says this, but keeps trying to kidnap her.).: She's definitely prickly and temperamental.: But you still can't help but at least feel sorry for her.: Her big purple hair ribbon.: Fuko pulls this when she needs a fake last name while staying with the Furukawas.: When she shows up in, she's as old as Tomoya (about twenty-five) but still looks like a grade schooler (and ).: Fuko vs.

Is known for telling fortunes of anyone who asks her. Her fortunes are always complex and usually completely off the mark, though she can be eerily accurate at times. Though she is usually wrong, she believes that it would be better for the future not to be already set. She has a crush on Tomoya in the beginning and enlists Kyou's help, or rather, Kyou insists on helping her.Tropes associated with Ryou:.: She has a very distinctive hairstyle (and hair color).
One feature her hair shares both with her twin sister Kyou and with 'Katsuki Shima' when he's in his female disguise is. The 'cat ears' hair waves are reminiscent of several females in.: If is anything to go on. (S1 04 11:32).: She tried to lie about being pregnant so to pull a variation of on Kappei.

See also, above.: On a literal level (at least her senior year). But not in temperament, as she's a very timid girl who only nags people because, well, she's stuck with the job of. Evidently she was assigned the job at random. Unlike, Kyou she is a follower who prefers being in the background.: The Kyou epilogue notes that she started dating someone she met at the hospital who has a cute face, meaning that she likely hooked up with Kappei.: She's not an official haremette, and picking her over Kyou in the is a Bad End, since you don't obtain a Light Orb. That's not really a bad end, it just means it's pointless to finish her route if you're going for After Story.
It could be considered a bad end if the entire thing is considered Kyou's route, but even then it's hardly bad.: Just like Akari in.: Although her predictions are more hilariously precise than strictly accurate. Still, she's usually onto something.
In her way.: Think, only extremely timid. In the dub's case, just try and take it seriously with Ayu Tsukimiya from 's voice coming from Ryou. It's more jarring to hear 's voice from Ryou when it comes to the dub.: Ryou!.: At least in the series.
Not that she ever really seems to hold much hope for winning Tomoya's heart; she often seems to be going through the motions in order to appease her sister.: Tomoya calls her Fujibayashi. It's a wonder that her sister Kyou when Tomoya calls Ryou. It is explained in an extra episode in After Story that Kyou insisted on Tomoya to call her by her first name when they first met.: She's just really bad at cooking. Known to cause unconsciousness in small animals.
In the anime, that was just one dish. Everyone seems to like the rest of her food - although she's not as skilled a cook as her sister Kyou. (An interesting reversal of the on.).
Ryou starts out a horrible chef but does her best to get better so that she can be more like Kyou, whom Tomoya likes more. She gets close enough to her sister in skill that Tomoya is very much reminded of Kyou - but she never quite matches her.: in the case of her and her twin Kyou.: With her twin sister Kyou. Goes with being the of Of.: Which makes her role as more difficult.: With Kyou.: With Kyou.: Realizes perfectly well that Kyou and Tomoya have a lot more chemistry and mutual attraction, but hides it.

Tomoyo: You exist solely for gags.: It is quite a wonder how he could take over the top physical abuses (Mostly by Kyou, Tomoyo, Misae, and Akio) and walk away like nothing happened when you would expected him to be carried away on a stretcher.
He shouldn't be alive, actually considering that the rest of the cast is much more fragile.: Greg Ayres previously played 's, Jun Kitagawa. This makes for one hell of an amusing in After Story if you remember what Kitagawa said about wanting to try Akiko's jam.: One of his default expressions.: More of a, but he has elements of both.: One of many in the series, but one of the very few who seems to be genuinely stupid.: In the form of a hilarious Bad End in the.: His English is so bad he says 'Rezombie' instead of 'Revenge'.

His natural hair color is dark.: Seems to have been this with Tomoya - until Nagisa and the appear on the scene.: He is.: At times. The closest thing the series has, among all the major characters.: Used to be one.
Now gets beaten up by them. His on screen beatings are only for comic relief purposes, the only serious one was during a flashback with him quitting the soccer club, aside from all that he's hardly the wimp puching bag, it's quite the contrary back when he and Tomoya weren't such good friends they were actually feared, when they became partners they also became more of a pranksters duo than real delinquents. Voiced by: (JP), Serena Varghese (EN)Youhei Sunohara's little sister.Tropes associated with Mei:.: In one of Tomoya's.

In which.: Is quite prone to crying if her bread is insulted.

Just dont.: The series, in a (mostly) non-romantic way. Not all that much in season one; far more in. Perhaps most intensely - and most cleverly - pulled off in the first half of episode 17, when a quasi-flirtatious Sanae attempts to coax a brutally depressed Tomoya out of his five-year-long.
She play-acts the role to perfection here. But in episode 18, through Ushio's comments, we see a more damaged side to Sanae, and at the beginning of episode 19, the facade shatters as Sanae finally lets down her guard and allows herself to cry in Akio's arms and mourn for her daughter Nagisa.
She's no longer any sort of; she's just a and truly anguished mother.: Even by the standards of this series, which is overflowing with, Sanae manages to stand out. This becomes more and more evident as Tomoya sinks deeper and deeper into gloom in the middle third of.
See also.: She looks about twenty-five, but her daughter Nagisa is eighteen or nineteen. In-universe, people are far more likely to ask if she's Nagisa's sister than if she's her mother.
In one episode, while in a, she passes herself off as seventeen.: When she dresses up as a seventeen year old, no one recognizes her. (Well, except for her husband Akio.).: Someone insults her bread (usually Akio) insults her bread and she is ALWAYS right behind and she says she runs out crying and Akio runs out with the bread in his mouth screaming that he loves them.: Generally speaking, no; so far as we can tell, she's the same, profoundly, and slightly person on the inside as she appears to be on the outside. Nevertheless, see, below, and see, above, for a example of this trope played straight.: It's not that she's unable to cry after Nagisa's death, but that Ushio needs her strength after having to look after her.
The scene where she finally does cry for her dead daughter, five years after the fact, is truly heartwrenching.: Voiced, appropriately enough,. Voiced by: (JP), Andrew Love (EN)Nagisa's dad. Although he often talks and plays rough, he is kind and sympathetic.
His childish side makes it easy for people to befriend him. He used to be an actor, now runs the Furukawa Bakery with his wife Sanae.

(Worth noting: this scene represents rather extreme, as it takes place several months after Tomoya and Nagisa have gotten married.).: Shares this with his wife, Sanae. He looks like a handsome thirty - possibly even younger - but given that his daughter Nagisa is eighteen or nineteen at the beginning of the series, that's hardly likely.: Definitely. Although not quite as paper thin (nor as successful) as his wife Sanae's disguise.: Attempts this as part of above-mentioned disguise. Also includes to go with his mecha pilot personality.: He insults her bread, and she is always right behind him and she says, she runs out crying he runs out with the bread in his mouth screaming (to the best of his ability) he loves them.: All the time.

But she definitely has the temperament.: She's awesome, especially when dealing with the troublemakers under her supervision in the boys' dorm, including not only the and but also.: Sometimes when she's angry, but also sometimes when playing happily with her cat.: Of Kaname Chidori from. (Her last name is also a to the same series: Sagara is Chidori's.) She also looks and acts a LOT like Kaname, and they share a.
Thought it would be worth mentioning this. In Fumoffu, Chidori does a Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex Hold(and it's wonderful in this tropers opinion) on Sousuke in episode two. Misae does a toned-down version(I think, depends on how you look at it) in in episode 5 of Clannad After Story.: When she was in high school. Liberally mixed with.: In the to her high school days, she wears a ribbon that looks almost like. Which is completely appropriate, given who she winds up with at the festival. (Worth noting: that same basic ribbon, with those same implied, turns up on several other girls over the course of the series. But it never looks as thoroughly catlike as it does on her.).: Aside from Kaname, we have, and many others.: With her cat, which was the 'Shima ' she met and fell in love with in her freshman year.
It's less than it sounds. Trust me.: In her mini route, Shima was this for her after a crush. If you don't believe the crush was really love, which is supported by the story, then her second love is instead Tomoya after he convinces her she can't just keep waiting for someone to come back when it's clear he isn't going to.: Back when she was in high school. A legend to this day, evidently.: Her cat.: Very much so, in temperament - even though for the vast majority of the series she doesn't have any potential with whom to play this tango.
Unless you count her 'Shima Katsuki.' Which you won't, until you reach her high school.: Tomoya advises her to use wrestling moves to punish the boys she oversees in the dorm, and she often demonstrates them on the Sunohara. Eventually, a reveals that she's been using these moves since her high school days. Voiced by: (JP), Maggie Flecknoe (EN)Yukine is a second year student who hangs around in the library's reference room.: Edging toward.: Okay, she more truthfully fills the role (see below), but the gang members all refer to her, in a bit of punish nickname, as Yuki-nee, or Big Sis Yuki.: Yukine's brother Kazuto's death was kept as a secret from the rival gang, which ultimately led to Yukine impersonating her own brother.: The closeness of the name isn't the only thing she shares with.: Quite distinctive. Which seems odd, since she's a kindly who's also socially savvy and quite possibly the least -ish character we meet in the entire franchise. Voiced by: (JP), (EN)A former rock star / singer / writer turned electrician.Tropes associated with Yuusuke:.: To Tomoya, after he begins working at Hikarizaka Electric.: The reason he no longer sings.: Probably, although he didn't date her until he was out of school.: A male version. At least before he crashed and burned.
He's still worshiped by young - and also, in a more mature way, by his fiance and eventual wife Kouko Ibuki.: His persona at work - gruff but caring. Not really a 'jerk,' though, except when contrasted with his off-the-job persona as.: In the middle of a baseball game, no less.: Although sometimes a cranky one. Not that he doesn't have good reason to be cranky.: Has a lot of elements of this, especially in the eyes of (some of) the characters. (A notable exception is Misae, who dislikes him and can't stand the attention he draws.) Nearly always played for laughs rather than drama.: Developed a heroin habit during his. Voiced by: (game only)A young man who is traveling around.
His goal in life is to 'live like a man.' .: He doesn't appear at all in the anime, not even in, which spends the first third of the season to go into the side character stories.: Confused the hell out of Tomoya until he told him his decidedly masculine name.: It's hard to imagine Kappei failing at menial jobs when you know that his also voices.: Quite a bit of this with Tomoya, making him rather uneasy. It mostly dissolves when Kappei starts going out with Ryou.: He has life-threatening cancer.: Used to be one at an orphanage until a musician he idolized (implied to be Yuusuke) inspired him to pursue his dreams.: He goes about traveling to find a job - until he settles down in Hikarizaka, mainly because he meets Ryou.: Wanted to become a track athlete but has leg cancer.
He refuses to let go of his dream, even when the disease becomes life-threatening and there are no options other than amputation of his leg. Voiced by: (JP), (EN)The daughter of Nagisa and Tomoya.: Which doesn't, of course, preclude her from being a - not in this series.: She's the girl running through the field with yellow flowers in the first season's opening, and it's her legs you see skipping in the second season's ending. Also appears twice, with her face hidden, in the second season opening; once talked to by Kyou, once hugged by Fuko.: Physically, she's exactly like her mother, except she has no Furukawa-clan - after all, technically she's an Okazaki.
She is also unusually well-mannered, loves the Big Dango Family and also loves playing with the dango plushies. She is also an.: Unlike her mother, she is outgoing and energetic.: She takes after her mother in this regard. At least in the reality where both she and Nagisa die.
In the reality where everyone lives, Tomoya outright states that Ushio is quite healthy.: Until Tomoya takes her in.: How she talks and acts. She also behaves well for a 5-year old.: Although she's 5 years old, she makes sure to not ruin dramatic moments.: 'Ushio' means 'tide.' 'Nagisa,' her mother's name, mean 'shore.'

She regains them as she dies in the Illusionary World and she releases the light orbs for Tomoya to use so that he could save Nagisa, herself, and himself from their cursed fate.This is by the first season's, with the appearance of the doll, Ushio, and Fuko standing over her which is actually shown in the of After Story in the ending minutes.: See.: A mild example.
But she's pretty cheerful, under the (grim) circumstances.: Above everything, she is. Oh, and, which is extremely fitting. Voiced by: (JP), Shannon Emerick (EN)The doll is actually Tomoya Okazaki after his death, and after losing his memories of his life. When his daughter Ushio - his sole reason for going to the Illusionary World - dies there, he returns to the real world, having released the light orbs. The light orbs allow him to initiate a wherein Nagisa survives giving birth to Ushio.
