Syaoran Li is a serious minded person. He transferred to Sakura’s school from Hong Kong while he was on a mission to get the Clow Cards. His guess on the aura of the card captor led him to Tomoeda.

He has four weird sisters and a mother. Fuutie, Xiefa, Faren and Feimei are his sisters and Yelan as their mother. His father was neither mentioned in any of the episodes in the series nor in both movies.

At first, Syaoran and Sakura are rivals on the Clow Cards. But, as time passed, he eventually ended up helping Sakura instead of getting the Clow Cards himself and bring it back home. He, too, has magic of his own. His magic, though, is not based on the Clow Cards unlike Sakura’s magic and the two guardians, Cerberus and Yue. Instead, he uses an Ofuda (some kind of Chinese cards/papers) in summoning his magic. He also has a sword which he also use in summoning his powers with the Ofuda that he has.
