A mysterious individual remains asleep in a liquid chamber within Fei Wong Reed's palace. His left eye is covered by a piece of cloth, his hands and arms are bound by spells, and he wears clothes marked with Fei Wong Reed's bat symbol.
Syaoran's name originates from Chinese and is commonly romanized as Xiaolang. His given name, Syaoran (小狼), means "little wolf" in both Chinese and Japanese. His last name, Li (李), is a common Chinese surname meaning "plum." In Korea and occasionally in Taiwan and Hong Kong, it is romanized as Lee.
Manga Spoilers:
In reality, this Syaoran is the original, while the Syaoran accompanying Sakura is merely a clone created by Fei Wong Reed. This Syaoran belongs to Clow Reed's bloodline and can thus use magic. He sacrificed his eye and half of his heart to his clone to temporarily halt Fei Wong's plan. Initially portrayed as a villain, he occasionally controlled the protagonist's movements until it was revealed that the protagonist Syaoran is his clone.
Syaoran is the son of Clone Syaoran and Clone Sakura, who were reincarnated in another world. As a child, Syaoran was sent to Clow Country by his parents for seven days because he was "needed." After spending a week with Sakura, he decides to stay in the country with her. When she comes under attack, Syaoran hesitates to save her, resulting in a curse being cast on her that will eventually kill her. Seven years after Syaoran's arrival, the curse takes full effect, leading him to hastily wish he could turn back time to the day he failed to protect her. Fei Wong Reed grants his wish, demanding his freedom and time as payment, and creates a "replacement being," Watanuki. Syaoran becomes Fei Wong's prisoner, his time rewound to seven years earlier, until the seal on the clone's eye is broken.
This Syaoran can summon the sword used by his father, which was passed down along with the alias "Syaoran." His real name is unknown. He uses the same spells as his father, including the powerful lightning-based attack 'Raitei Shourai.'
His real name is Tsubasa, revealed at the end of the manga, the same as Real Sakura's name.
