Tomoya Okazaki

Character
Tomoya Okazaki is the main male character of Clannad. He has dark blue short hair with a long front fringe, blue eyes and is 17.

Due to him staying out late and not returning home on time, he hangs out with his fellow delinquent Youhei Sunohara. His father-Naoyuki Okazaki-and Tomoya do not get along because of his father abandoning Tomoya in his time of need as a child after his Mother died when he was five in a car accident. His father became a drunk gambler and eventually gets himself into prison shortly before Tomoya proposes to Nagisa.

Tomoya hates his town because of bad memories that happen to be his entire childhood. After ripping a tendant in his shoulder he is no longer able to play they only thing that made him happy. Basketball. However the character is not sad and mentally depressed. Instead he has developed a rather outcasted personality, and feels as if he will never fit in anywhere or likewise, wanted. Even though he was a damaged and sarcastic nature, he always lends a hand towards any friend with a problem. However he lets Sunohara pic his own way out of his rather girly attempts at life and fights with other students male or female. He also developes an unlikley relationship with Nagisa Furukawa and as time goes on, it becomes perfectly blunt that the pair have become one (as a couple)

This causes tention between some of Tomoya's fellow friends that happen to be girls as they feel that they should have formed this bond after knowing him almost all their lives. However when they graduate, all past envies are forgotten...Or that is what it seems anyway.

Nagisa is a year repeter because she has an ilness that is extreamly rare and no one knows what caused it. It is most likely a gene passed down in the family but no one really knows why. When Tomoya graduates, he is forced to cry because nagisa is ill at home and he wishes he never graduated. She tells him not to hang back in life for her but to take oppotunities as they come and she repetes her final year for a third time.

He is voiced by David Matranga (English dub) and Yuchi Nakamura (Anime)
