Sakura's father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, appeared and explained that he was a famous archaeologist who had been studying the Clow Book. He told Sakura that she had been chosen to be the "Cardcaptor", a magical girl tasked with capturing and sealing the Clow Cards.
The sun was shining brightly on the beautiful town of Tomoeda, where 10-year-old Sakura Kinomoto lived with her parents and her younger brother, Touya. Sakura was a happy and energetic girl who loved playing with her friends and exploring the town.
But who was Clow, and what did he mean by "Capture and seal"? Sakura and Tomoyo were determined to find out.
Just then, Sakura's best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, appeared at her window, concerned about Sakura's strange behavior. Sakura showed Tomoyo the card, and they both realized that something magical was happening.
