Clannad (visual novel)/Trivia

Hey, It's That Voice: This could get a bit long.
- Nagisa's voice, tweaked just a teeny bit, sounds exactly like Rena Ryuugu when she isn't shouting "USO DA!".
  - Also quite a few traces of Mai Tokiha.
- Mei's normal speaking voice is almost identical to Rika Furude's cutesy voice and to Sakura Yoshino. In a twist of fate, Rika's adult voice sounds like Mai Kawasumi, who is from another Key game (Kanon).
  - And lest we forget, Nanoha Takamachi.
- Tomoyo sounds exactly like Kagura from Azumanga Daioh.
- Of course, Sanae's voice has been all over the anime industry in the form of Kikuko Inoue.
- Misae shouting "Shima-kun" at the festival sounded exactly like Shion shouting for "Satoshi-kun."
- Ushio sounds just like Chi only without the speech impediment. Just as adorable though.
- Kotomi's voice is a dead ringer for Aisa Himegami.
- Yukine Miyazawa sounds a lot like, and has the same voice actress as, Yukino Miyazawa.
- Hey, what's Lelouch doing as a member of the Student Council?
- Quite a few former Gundam pilots, protagonists, and antagonists show up here.
  - Tomoya is Graham Acre
  - Sunohara is Usso Evin
  - Akio is Treize Khushrenada
  - Yoshino is Heero Yuy
  - The Garbage doll is Relena Darlian/Peacecraft
  - Tomoyo used to fill the love interests for two Gundam pilots!
- The dub has a few too -- Luci Christian (Nagisa and Ushio), David Matranga (Tomoya), Greg Ayres (Sunohara), Brittney Karbowski (Ryou), and Hilary Haag (Fuko).
I keep expecting Yoshino to whip out a black overcoat and red metal sword or shouting Mission Start!
- Sunohara is also Shinpachi, another Butt Monkey sidekick to a lazy protagonist.
