Syaoran x6 - Syao-matsu-san (しゃお松さん)

[cutesherry.livejournal.com]

I'm not too sure what they had in mind when they drew this, or why was it part of a tweet about today's radio program, but these pictures of Syaoran with many different facial expressions is funny ^_^
Several of them makes me think of "Syaoron" from Holitsuba Gakuen XD

EDIT: Explanation, courtesy of clstmk ,thanks!!!: "there's an anime called Osomatsu-san (6 brothers as main characters) that airs right now and Miyu Irino, Seiyuu of Syaoran, is doing the voice of Todomatsu, the youngest brother. (The twitter has Syao-matsu-san (しゃお松さん), which is Syaoran x Osomatsu-san)"
From the looks of it, Clamp had fun making a 'Syaoran-matsu-san' ver. of the sextuplet ^_^

Ironically enough though, there *IS* a total of exactly 6 'Syaoran' in Clamp's universe:
1-Syaoran Li (card captor sakura)
2-Syaoran (the one from volume 01 of TRC, which is a clone of Tsubasa/Syaoran Li, created with magic by Fei Wang Reed)
3-Tsubasa (also 'syaoran') Li (TRC and TWC)
4- Syaoran Li (the one that got reincarnated and lead a whole new life in another world, Tsubasa's father)
5-Syaoran Li ( youngest twin, Holitsuba Gakuen)
6-Syaoron Li (eldest twin, Holitsuba Gakuen)

I'm not sure if this is the reason, but there's an anime called Osomatsu-san (6 brothers as main characters) that airs right now and Miyu Irino, Seiyuu of Syaoran, is doing the voice of Todomatsu, the youngest brother. (The twitter has Syao-matsu-san (しゃお松さん), which is Syaoran x Osomatsu-san)

It is unexpecting, but interesting illustration that CLAMP did! Thank you for sharing~

Thank you for the explanation!!
This definitely makes sens, especially when comparing it to a picture of the sextuplet:



You can tell that Clamp indeed tried to use more or less the same faces on Syaoran, but a bit adapted of course hahaha~ ^__^

Your list of Syaorans is amazing! it made me realize I don't remember all the details of TRC O.O!

I personally never watched it, but in Japan, this anime has been existing for a while: it's originally a manga which started to be published in the early 60's, and there was a 60 eps series that aired in 1966, and then another 88 eps series that aired in 1988.

I suppose you can say Osomatsu-san has "history", he is "one of those anime" that's part of the culture.

This 3rd series began airing in October 2015, to celebrate Akatsuka's (the mangaka) 80th birthday.
In the 2015 version, they are not students anymore though: they are adults, have differentes personalities from their 60's and 80's version, and also have facial expressions that allow to distinguish between them more easily: and this is what CLAMP drew above I think, the different faces of the 2015 version of the sextuplets.
