Plot [ ] Setting and themes [ ] The first half of the story takes place primarily at Hikarizaka Private High School, a fictional school located in Japan. Outside of the school, frequented locations include the bakery run by Nagisa's parents, and the dormitory where lives. Throughout the story, glimpses into an Illusionary World are shown.

The remaining half of the story takes place in the same city, after the conclusion of the first half. While the town's name was never directly mentioned, one can infer that the town's name is Hikarizaka based on the many companies and establishments that share this name. There are recurring themes that appear throughout the story.
The main theme is the value of having a family, as the title of the series implies because the main scenario writer mistakenly thought the name of the meant 'clan' or 'family' in. Of the six main characters, Tomoya, Nagisa, and Kotomi have no siblings, though their parents are major factors in their stories. Nagisa's story was written to incorporate what Maeda described as a 'perfect family' with a focus on mental consciousness.
In Nagisa's story, there is a recurring appearance of 'The Big Family' ( だんご大家族, Dango Daikazoku) (a fictional group for children) that Nagisa is fond of. Tomoya's and Nagisa's characters were written in a style to exemplify a 'growth to adulthood' by the end of the story. Fuko's and Kyou's stories have their sisters playing an integral part, and Tomoyo's story is influenced by her entire family.
A minor motif of Irish words continues with the opening theme of the game, ', which means roughly 'plain of joy' and is connected with Irish mythology. The album, a short music CD that contained remixed versions of songs in the game, that was bundled with the original game release was titled, which was a collection of stories from. Main characters [ ].
Main article: The player assumes the role of, the protagonist of Clannad. Tomoya has been labeled a; at the beginning of the story, he even expresses hatred toward the city he has lived in all his life where Clannad is set. He is very straightforward in his comments to others and will not hesitate to speak his mind, even if he comes off as rude during such times. Despite this, Tomoya is very loyal to his friends, and has been known to dedicate himself for those around him in need of help or support. He generally has a selfless personality and does not ask much from others in return for what he does for them.
Tomoya meets, the main heroine of Clannad, at the onset of the story. Nagisa is a shy, soft-spoken girl who has very low and which causes her to rely on those around her for support. She has developed the strange habit of muttering the names of favorite foods that she plans to eat as a way to motivate herself, such as., another of Clannad 's heroines, is an aggressive girl well known as a good cook among her friends and family. When angry she does not hesitate to throw a dictionary at people that she often carries around for such purposes. Despite this attitude, she also has a more subdued side, especially towards her younger sister. Tomoya meets a girl named, one day in the school library. She is ranked in the top 10 throughout the whole country in standardized exam results of every subject—she always goes to library to read extra materials, especially books in foreign languages.
Kotomi is a very quiet girl with poor social skills and it is quite difficult to communicate with her; Kotomi can even completely ignore someone when reading, even if they make loud disturbances around her. Clannad 's fourth heroine is a second-year student named who transfers into Tomoya's school. Tomoyo can be aggressive is a very strong fighter, preferring to use kicking over punching, and is very athletic.
Although Tomoya is older than her, Tomoyo does not show him respect as a senior student. Tomoyo appears in Key's fifth game,, as the main heroine. The last heroine in Clannad is a first-year student named who has a distant attitude towards others and, before she met Tomoya, was generally seen alone by herself making wood carvings of with a small knife to give to others as presents. Fuko is extremely enthralled by starfish, or things that are star-shaped, and will often go into short bouts where her awareness of her surroundings is completely overtaken. Story [ ] Clannad 's story revolves around Tomoya Okazaki, a third year high school student who dislikes his life. Tomoya's mother (Atsuko) died when Tomoya was young, leaving his father (Naoyuki) to raise him.
After the accident, Tomoya's father turned to and, and had frequent fights with his son. One day, Naoyuki, while arguing with his son, slammed Tomoya against the window, dislocating Tomoya's shoulder. This injury prevents Tomoya from playing on the basketball team, and causes him to distance himself from others. Ever since then, his father has treated Tomoya nicely, but distantly, as if Tomoya and he were strangers rather than a family. This hurts Tomoya more than his previous relationship with his father, and the awkwardness of returning home leads Tomoya constantly to stay out all night.
Thus his delinquent life begins. Tomoya's good friend Youhei Sunohara, who was thrown out of the soccer club over a dispute with his seniors, is also a delinquent and often hangs out in his dorm room with Tomoya doing nothing much. The story opens on Monday April 14, 2003 at the beginning of the school year, when Tomoya meets Nagisa Furukawa, a soft-spoken girl who is one year older than he is but is repeating her last year in high school due to being sick much of the previous year.
Her goal is to join the drama club which she was unable to do due to her sickness, but they find that the drama club was disbanded after the few remaining members graduated. Since Tomoya has a lot of time to kill, he helps Nagisa in reforming the drama club. During this period, Tomoya meets and hangs out with several other girls whom he gets to know well and help with their individual problems. After Story [ ] In the second part of the story, which starts immediately after the end of the first part but extends into the next seven years, Tomoya and Nagisa start living together, and eventually get married. Tomoya has to endure several hardships that the family has been suffering from, especially Nagisa's illness. Just after Nagisa gives birth to their daughter, she, which causes Tomoya to become severely depressed.
He is barely able to function, let alone look after an infant. As a result, Nagisa's parents, and, take care of their granddaughter. Five years later, Tomoya meets with, his paternal grandmother. Shino tells Tomoya of his father's traumatic past, which is eerily similar to Tomoya's current situation. Afterwards, Tomoya resolves to raise Ushio and acknowledges Naoyuki as his father. Shortly after Tomoya overcomes his depression, Ushio is stricken with the same disease that Nagisa had. Tomoya, Sanae and Akio struggle to save her—Tomoya even quits his job—but all of their efforts turn out to be in vain.
In the coming winter, wanting to do anything for his daughter, Tomoya takes her on a trip, but she dies shortly after. Tomoya's psychology is developed in his dreams of a bleak world, called the Illusionary World ( 幻想世界, Gensō Sekai), where small orbs of light float around. In the first few dreams, he sees a world devoid of all life, except for one girl. Each time he dreams, he finds out more about the world. Tomoya discovers that the girl has a special ability to fuse junk together to create new things, which she uses to create a body for him. Over time, Tomoya comes to the conclusion that only the two of them are 'alive'. To pass time, Tomoya and the girl try to build another doll with more junk they find, but as it has no soul, it fails to come to life.
Remembering the distant world where he came from, Tomoya convinces the girl to build a ship so that the two can escape the approaching winter and continue to live a happy life. Eventually, winter sets in, and the girl becomes cold to the point where she cannot move any more. The girl tells Tomoya that he has another chance to go back and make things right.
To do so, he must collect certain 'lights' (symbols of happiness) similar to those floating around in the Illusionary World. If all the 'lights' are collected throughout both story parts, a chance to save Nagisa from dying will become available, as well as the true ending, where she survives and lives with Tomoya and Ushio. Development [ ] The executive producer for Clannad was Takahiro Baba from, the publishing company which controls Key., who was one of three main scenario writers with Kai, and, led the planning for Clannad and wrote the majority of the scenarios. Scenario assistance was provided by Tōya Okano.
Headed the art direction, and also worked on the character design. Miracle Mikipon, Mochisuke,, and Shinory supplemented the. Torino provided the background art. The game's music was by Maeda,, and. For Key's second visual novel, Maeda admitted he felt he was able to write what he wanted to for the game's scenario, but he later discovered that Air was difficult for players to receive and experience. Due to this, Maeda felt that for Key's next work Clannad, he had a sense of duty to make the game easier to receive for as many users as possible.
In any case, he wanted to make it an entertaining game, and started planning on Clannad almost immediately after Air 's completion. From the start of Clannad 's planning, Maeda did not want to write a story like in Air, but instead wanted to focus on writing a deep connection between the 'people and the town', and 'humanity'.
Maeda noted that he exceeded his writing ability when writing most of the scenarios in Clannad, and equates Clannad 's writing process as a 'wall that I will never be able to get over again.' While at the beginning Maeda felt he was prepared, the entire game's story started to increase to a level Maeda never predicted, and Suzumoto noted that it approximately doubled in size from the original projected length. Suzumoto attributed the increase due to the lengthening structure of the game's base scenario which caused the 'branch' scenarios to increase as well.
There were more concerns about Clannad being similar to Air. When Nagisa's scenario was being written, there were some disputes concerning the length of her scenario, and thus putting too much focus on the main heroine. Some were concerned that having a single prominent character with a unique storyline would be too much like how Air was structured with the overall focus on. Takahiro Baba, the company president of VisualArt's, is even noted as suggesting to minimize the differences between the other characters' scenarios, but this was ultimately ignored since Maeda thought the game's evaluation by players would not decrease on account of the scenarios being vastly different, and thought the end result was a good one.
Maeda was concerned that the After Story arc, mainly a continuation of Nagisa's scenario, would eclipse the entire game's scenario, much like what happened with Air according to Maeda. In order to prevent the same thing happening in Clannad, Maeda focused on making the first half of the story, the School Life arc, just as enjoyable by making it long and heart-breaking. Clannad is Key's second longest work, as reported by where he stated that Clannad is about 4,000 words fewer than Key's 2008 game.
