Voiced by: Ai Nonaka

Fuko is a first year student at Tomoya's school. She is always alone, making wood carvings of starfish with a small knife to give to others as presents. This hobby completely drains her concentration and awareness of her surroundings.

Fuko's story has several connections with Nagisa's story. In the beginning, Tomoya finds Fuko in an empty classroom, carving a block of wood with a knife. Tomoya confiscates the knife after noticing she is hurting herself, but eventually returns the knife the next day, after Fuko nudged him. Some days later, Tomoya learnt from Fuko that she is carving 700 starfish to be distributed to all the students in the school, wanting them to attend her sister Kouko's wedding. The main problem is that no one in the school knows about Kouko, who had retired 3 years ago.

After learning about Fuko's accident and her unknown existence, both Nagisa and Tomoya decides to assist Fuko to accomplish her dreams. Just when they thought everything goes well, Fuko starts to disappear from everyone's heart, due to the fact that she is a ghost and her spiritual power is disappearing, as the real Fuko had stopped breathing in the hospital. Wanting Kouko's wedding to happen, Tomoya asks Koumura to organize the wedding ceremony at May 18th. Through many struggles and hardships, Kouko's wedding turns into a success and everyone that was given a starfish carving came to the wedding. After the wedding, Fuko thanks Tomoya for everything he did, and then appears in front of her sister Kouko to congratulate before disappearing, leaving behind a crying Tomoya. After the wedding, Kouko and Yusuke decide to thank Fuko in her hospital room, and leave the city. Although everyone forgets about Fuko, they certainly want to become friends with her.

In the anime, Fuko appears occasionally in various unexpected situations; this is actually a nod to Fuko Ninja event in the game that happens in Tomoyo's path, after completing the whole Clannad game.

Button is Kyou's pet baby boar, and is a comic relief character. Button will sometimes go to Kyou's school just to see her, and strangely it takes a liking on Tomoya too. Due to its small size and the fact that it is a baby boar, it is sometimes captured by several characters who talk of eating it. It has the ability to do seven actions that Kyou told him to do. Button hates Ryou because it mistook Ryou for trying to eat it when she took it for a warm bath. In the After Story, Button has become an adult boar, but still remains friendly to children.
