Dōmeki's personality sharply contrasts with Watanuki's, as he is calm and often sarcastic. He lives in a shrine owned by his late grandfather. He is part of the school's archery club and often participates in school competitions. Shizuka Dōmeki (百目鬼 静, Dōmeki Shizuka) is Watanuki's classmate and one-sided rival. Despite her seemingly immature and free-spirited attitude, Yūko is also sage-like and serious when the time calls for it. Yūko Ichihara (壱原 侑子, Ichihara Yūko) is a very powerful witch, mostly known for her ability to send people to other dimensions and times (sometimes called "The Dimensional Witch"), and for her ability to grant any wish in exchange for an equal cost. Apart from Dōmeki and Himawari, Watanuki does not seem to have any friends at school in fact, Yūko teases him about being unpopular. Watanuki begins working for Yūko in exchange for the fulfillment of his wish to never see spirits again. He is down-to-earth and selfless, but also very irritable, especially when it comes to Yūko's lavish demands and Dōmeki's stoic attitude. Kimihiro Watanuki (四月一日君尋, Watanuki Kimihiro) is a typical high school student living on his own. She states that there is no such thing as coincidence, and that every single action and decision is inevitable, because without them, other related events in the future could not happen. Yūko constantly refers to hitsuzen (必然?), meaning inevitability, destiny, or fate, as being the driving force in the world.
It was originally expected to end at the same time as Tsubasa, however this point in the continuity was crossed and lead to a new arc.

The series is directly connected to Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, while other series including Cardcaptor Sakura, Legal Drug, and Magic Knight Rayearth are referenced at different times. The world of xxxHolic is directly connected to several other of Clamp's works through dimensional traveling. His love interest, Himawari Kunogi, and "rival", Shizuka Dōmeki, occasionally join him in his work as per Yūko's request and the three become increasingly close despite Watanuki's annoyance with Dōmeki. Watanuki's job consists of small errands dealing with the supernatural and household chores. Although Watanuki does menial tasks, this experience at Yuko's shop is one not to be forgotten. Instead of paying a price upfront, he can work at her shop until he earns enough credit to get his wish granted. She almost automatically senses that Watanuki has the power of spiritual sight, and makes a deal with him so that he can be rid of his "curse". Yuko is actually a powerful witch who runs a shop that grants all kinds of wishes, but asks for a price of equal value. As he gets up, he is dragged into the house, and meets a "shop owner" named Ichihara Yuko. One day, as Watanuki is being chased by ghosts, his visions are dispelled as he touches the fence of a strange house. XxxHOLiC is the story of Watanuki Kimihiro (family - given), a bewildered boy with the "power" to see spirits and ghosts. On the Latin-American channel Animax, we can hear the correct pronunciation of the title.
In ×××HOLiC: A Midsummer Night Dream, it used the word " holic" to refer to the fanatic collectors and addicts.ĭespite the title being written " ×××HOLiC", the pronunciation is only, since the "x"s are multiplying signs and must not be pronounced. Examples: alcoholic, shopaholic, or workaholic. In English it's possible to add - holic to any word so it becomes into a compound word, referring to the addiction towards that object. the series have been renamed as HOLiC, because the "x"s are often confused with the western reference about the occult or omitted, and being three, with porn. These three crosses are because in the manga some characters suffer for their affections to some objects. In Japan, this cross (a popular sign to signify multiply) is referenced to a relation or a connection between objects. version they are in lower case, though it may be possible to see them in uppercase since they don't reference the letter "x", but it's the multiplication sign. The same happens with the "x"s, in the U.S. CLAMP decided to change to uppercase the letters h, o, l and c of the title, which is why it's possible to find references with the title written in a different way.
