Tomoya Okazaki

Tomoya Okazaki is the main protagonist of the Clannad visual novel and anime series.

Tomoya is a 17-year-old third-year student of Hikarizaka High. He deeply resents his town Hikarizaka because of all the bad memories he experienced while living in it. He is best friends with Youhei Sunohara and is a childhood friend of Kotomi Ichinose. As he progresses through high school, he meets many new friends, such as Kyou, Ryou, Tomoyo, Fuko, and of course, Nagisa.

Tomoya is Nagisa Furukawa's boyfriend and eventual husband.

Appearance
Tomoya has a short, dark-blue hair and has dark-blue eyes. He wears a yellow jacket uniform over a white dress shirt and red necktie, blue trousers and brown shoes.

Personality
He is a cynical and sarcastic delinquent who has a tendency of always arriving late to school and skips classes during the day and staying out all night, hanging with Sunohara in his room. Tomoya enjoys having company, playing lighthearted pranks on people, especially Sunohara or Fuko. Occasionally, he teases Nagisa or the Fujibayashi twins.

Despite Tomoya's seemingly antisocial ways, he is a sociable and protective friend who cares deeply for all of his friends, especially Nagisa, and loves solving their problems. Though he is also unaware that some of the girls at school show interest in him or, most likely, pretends not to know. Tomoya is the type of person who thinks deep thoughts about his life but usually does not voice them out.

Though Tomoya is a delinquent, he does not go around looking for fights. He is usually somewhat quiet and silent, being more approachable than a stereotypical delinquent. However, when he does get into a brawl he is shown as a very tough fighter.

Trivia

 * Fans nicknamed Tomoya as "Clannadman".
 * Tomoya's pranks on Sunohara involve him just telling Sunohara to do stupid things. Sunohara invariably obeys without question.
 * He was a star basketball player in his junior high until an argument with his father ended with him suffering a permanent shoulder injury, leaving him unable to play.
 * Tomoya sits second from the back next to the window, with Sunohara next to him. This allows him to spot Botan from time to time.
