• THE HOST CLUB    GENERAL  AMBIGUOLY BI: INVOKED AS PART OF THEIR DUTI; THE FEMALE GUTS NEED TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO BE LOVED BY THE HOSTS, BUT THE HOSTS ALSO KNOW THAT THEY GET MORE ATTENTN THROUGH HOMOEROTIC SUBTEXT. THE BETIFUL ELE: THEIR PRENCE, UNRSTANDABLY, TURNS QUE A FEW HEADS -UNIVERSE. THIS WAS THE POT OF THE CLUB. BLON, BTE, REDHEAD: TAMAKI AND HONEY (BLOND), HAHI, KYOYA, AND TAKASHI (BTE), AND HIKA AND KAO (REDHEAD). CHICK MAGS: THEIR CTOMERS ARE THE ENTIRE FEMALE POPULATN OF OURAN. COSTUME PORN: FURTHERED BY THE FACT THAT HIKA AND KAO'S MOM ACTUALLY IS A FASHN SIGNER. FICTN 500: WH THE EXCEPTN OF HAHI, WHO'S A PENNY AMONG DIAMONDS, EACH CLUB MEMBER IS STKG RICH. HOST CLUB: THE CLUB SELF IS A PG-RATED VERSN OF REAL HOST CLUBS, WH S MEMBERS PROVIDG NVERSATNS, FLATTERY AND ENTERTAMENT FOR THE SCHOOL'S FEMALE STUNTS. MR. FANSERVICE: THE POT OF THE CLUB IS FOR THE MOST HANDSOME BOYS AT OURAN ENTERTAG THE SCHOOL'S FEMALE POPULATN. SHARP-DRSED MAN: THE OURAN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' UNIFORM IS A RATHER STYLISH SU, AND THEY WEAR OTHER TYP OF FORMAL WEAR FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. SOMETHG ABOUT A ROSE: TAMAKI IS THE MOST EQUENT, BUT THE WHOLE CLUB EQUENTLY EMPLOYS ROSE MOTIFS. SPOILED SWEET: ALL THE MEN THE CLUB ARE EXTREMELY WELL OFF. THAT SAID, OCSNAL STANCE ASI, THEY'RE ALL PRETTY CENT DUS NSIRG. TRAMARK FAVORE FOOD: ALL THE RICH MEMBERS ARE FASCATED BY INSTANT COFFEE, NSIRG A BRILLIANT VENTN. IT'S TO THE POT WHERE INSTANT COFFEE IS THE "OFFICIAL DRK" OF THE HOST CLUB. TE COMPANNS: ALL OF THEM GROW REALLY TIGHT OVER THE SERI, EXEMPLIFIED BY BOTH THE ANIME AND MANGA'S FAL. VRLIC BT BUDS: TAMAKI AND THE TWS PARTICULAR HAVE THIS DYNAMIC (MORE SO ONE WAY THAN THE OTHER); THE TWS WILL PULL NO PUNCH TEASG OR DOWN RIGHT MAKG FUN OF TAMAKI, BUT AS MENTNED ABOVE, ARE PLETELY LOYAL AND VOTED TO HIM AT THE END OF THE DAY.    HAHI FUJKA VOICED BY: MAAYA SAKAMOTO (JP), AYA HISAKAWA (DRAMA CD), CAL GLASS (EN) PORTRAYED BY: HANA KAWAGUCHI (LIVE ACTN), YA YAMCHI (MIL)THE PROTAGONIST OF THE SERI. A WORKG CLASS SCHOLARSHIP STUNT WHO ACCINTALLY BREAKS A REALLY EXPENSIVE VASE AND WDS UP WORKG FOR THE HOST CLUB TO PAY OFF THE BT. ACTUALLY PRETTY FUNNY: EVEN HAHI N'T HELP BUT BURST OUT LGHG AT THE HOST CLUB DRSG UP AS WOMEN AN EFFORT TO MAKE HER STAY WH THEM (WHEN THEY FELT THREATENED BY THE ZA GIRLS CLUB). LATER THE MANGA, TAMAKI GIV HER AN OOTORO RG AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE HER HAPPY, AND HE SUCCEEDS... BEE HAHI FDS THE RG SO STUPID SHE N'T HELP BUT LGH HEARTILY. IN EPISO 17, SHE N'T HELP BUT GIGGLE THAT KYOUYA SAYS "THE SAME THG TAMAKI-SENPAI WOULD HAVE SAID" (A NFED REMARK ABOUT MONER'S FOOD) SPE HIS EARLIER SISTENCE THAT THEY'RE NOTHG ALIKE. A-CUP ANGST: THE SUBJECT RARELY UP, BUT SHE DON'T SEEM TOO HAPPY WH HER BT. SHE GETS MAD WHEN A SWIMSU IS PICKED FOR HER THAT HIS A FLAT CHT AND AFTER SHE REALIZ SHE LIK TAMAKI SHE LAMENTS HER BOYISH FACE AND FIGURE. ON THE PL SI, DO ALLOW HER TO MASQUERA AS A BOY WHOUT LIBERATE MEASUR LIKE BDGS. ALLERGIC TO LOVE: AFTER SHE REALIZ SHE IS LOVE WH TAMAKI, SHE ACTS LERALLY LOVICK. SHE GETS BETTER LATER. AMBIGUOLY BI: SHE STAT THAT SHE DON'T RE ABOUT GENRS AND BLH THE ANIME WHEN SHE ACCINTALLY KISS KANAKO, WHICH WOULD IMPLY THAT SHE'S OPEN TO A RELATNSHIP WH A GIRL. HOWEVER, HER BEG OBLIV TO LOVE (AT LEAST UNTIL SHE REALIZ HER OWN FEELGS FOR TAMAKI) KEEPS THIS OM BEG FURTHER EXPLORED. ANIMAL MOTIFS: OFTEN PARED TO A TANI (A RACON DOG) FOR HER CUTE FACE AND HOMELY NATURE. ATTRACTIVE BENT-GENR: THE CLUB'S CTOMERS NSIR HER TO BE AN ATTRACTIVE BOY. AUDIENCE SURROGATE: WHENEVER SOMEBODY IS NEED TO ACT AS THE PEANUT GALLERY FOR THE WEIRDNS GOG ON, HAHI GENERALLY FILLS THE ROLE. BAD "BAD ACTG": IN THE ANIME, WHEN HELPG THE ZA CLUB WH THEIR PLAY. THERE WAS NO EMOTG VOLVED WHATSOEVER. AVERTED WHEN ALG WH THE CLUB'S CTOMERS, BUT 'S MA FAIRLY CLEAR THAT SHE DON'T THK OF AS PLAYG ANY KD OF ROLE. WHEN SHE'S A HOST, SHE'S MOSTLY JT BEG HERSELF; THE GUYS INTIFY HER IMMEDIATELY AS THE "NATURAL TYPE" WHO DON'T NEED ANY GIMMICKS OR TRAG. BIFXNEN: INIALLY MISTAKEN FOR A GUY BY THE ENTIRE HOST CLUB, HAHI NTUOLY HER BOYISH APPEARANCE TO MASQUERA AS ONE. THE GIRLS SEEM NOT TO NOTICE AND DON'T REALLY RE ONCE THEY DO FD OUT. BOKKO: US "BOKU" AND OCSNALLY "ORE" TO REFER TO HERSELF. BOYISH SHORT HAIR: ONE REASON SHE WAS MISTAKEN FOR A BOY. PRE-STORY SHE HAD MUCH LONGER HAIR A STEREOTYPILLY FEME STYLE, BUT SHE CUT ALL OFF WHEN A KID STUCK SOME GUM . IN THE POST-STORY OMAKE SHE STARTS LETTG GROW OUT AGA. BRAY BTE: SCHOLARSHIP STUNT AND MORE FOCED ON STUDYG THAN ANYONE ELSE THE SERI, LIKELY BEE WHOUT HER AMIC SCHOLARSHIP SHE ISN'T RICH ENOUGH TO BE EMPLOYED AT OURAN. SHE ALSO HAS BROWN HAIR. BTAL HONTY: SHE DON'T MCE HER WORDS. CANNOT SP IT OUT: AFTER REALIZG HER FEELGS FOR TAMAKI, SHE N'T VOLIZE THEM UNTIL CHAPTER 80. CHARACTER TIC: HAS A TENNCY OF DOG A PALM-FIST TAP WHEN SHE FIGUR SOMETHG OUT. CATCHPHRASE: SOMETHG ALONG THE L OF "DAMN THE RICH PEOPLE." CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: SHE GO THROUGH A LOT, OM DISLIKG THE HOST CLUB AND NOT HAVG AN OUNCE OF CURSY FOR ANYTHG OUTSI HER OWN LTLE WORLD, TO SLOWLY WARMG UP TO THEM AND PARTICIPATG MORE AND MORE THEIR ACTIVI. EVENTUALLY SHE ENDS UP LOVG THEM AND EVEN STAYS WH THEM AFTER HER BT IS PAID. THROUGH THIS SHE GROWS MORE OUTGOG AND TERMED, AND ALSO LEARNS TO APPRECIATE TAMAKI, SEEG HIM FOR THE IMMENSELY KD PERSON HE IS UNTIL SHE FALLS FOR HIM. EVEN WH THIS REVELATN SHE GO THROUGH QUE A B; SHE IALLY EAKS OUT AND TRI HER BT TO NY , UNTIL SHE EVENTUALLY LMS DOWN, BUT CIS THAT SHE STILL "HAS SO MUCH TO LEARN" BEFORE SHE N TELL HIM, AND HIS HER FEELGS FOR A WHILE, RETURNG MORE OR LS TO HER OLD SELF. SHE IS MORE PRSURED TO NONT HER FEELGS AFTER SHARG AN ACCINTAL KISS WH HIM AND ACTIVELY HELPG HIM RNE WH HIS MOTHER AND SHE ULTIMATELY N'T KEEP ANYMORE AND NFS TO HIM. CHILDREN DO THE HOEWORK: BEE OF HER MOTHER'S ATH AND HER FATHER'S LONG WORK HOURS, HAHI DO MOST OF THE WORK AT HOME; CLEANG AND OKG FOR HER FATHER AND OTHERWISE TRYG TO TAKE RE OF HIM, EVEN TELLG HIM NOT TO OVERWORK HIMSELF FOR HER. CLUELS CHICK-MAG: MORE LIKE CLUELS GUY MAG, IALLY (UNTIL THE LATTER PART OF HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT KICKED ). SHE ED TO GET NFSNS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, UALLY MORE. HOWEVER, WHEN PEOPLE LIKE ARAI OR HIKA NFS TO HER WH THE PHRASE "I WANT TO GO WH YOU," SHE ASSUM THEY MEAN SOMETHG LIKE 'I WANT TO GO TO OURAN AS WELL' OR 'WANT TO GO OUTSI WH ME?' COMEDIC UNRWEAR EXPOSURE: THIS HAPPENS TO HER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE ANIME WHEN TAMAKI WALKS ON HER WHILE SHE WAS CHANGG. THEN RSU KASANODA WALKS ON HER AND GETS FULL NFIRMATN THAT SHE'S FEMALE, MUCH TO HIS RELIEF. CURTAS MATCH THE WDOW: BROWN HAIR AND EY. CUTE BOOKWORM: ALTHOUGH WE RARELY SEE HER READ, 'S OFTEN MENTNED 'S HER FAVORE LEISURE TIME ACTIVY. DADDY'S GIRL: SHE DON'T THK HE'S EMBARRASSG AND TAK RE OF HIM. DATG WHAT DADDY HAT: HER DAD'S NOT THE MOST FOND OF TAMAKI, DON'T STOP TAMAKI OM BEG HER LOVE INTERT. SUBVERTED THAT SHE'S NOT DATG TAMAKI BEE HER DADDY HAT HIM. DEADPAN SNARKER: USUALLY AROUND TAMAKI (OH, SAY, 95% OF THE TIME?) THOUGH 'S ABOUT HALF SNARK AND HALF BTAL HONTY. DEOSTG ICE QUEEN: HAHI MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A FULL-BLOWN ICE QUEEN, BUT SHE IALLY RED MORE ABOUT REPAYG HER BT UNTIL SHE GRADUALLY BEIEND ALL THE HOST CLUB MEMBERS AND GREW TO LOVE THE HOST CLUB. OVER TIME BE OBV THAT SHE ISN'T LD SO MUCH AS HYPER-FOCED ON MATAG HER ALL-IMPORTANT SCHOLARSHIP, WHICH SHE SE AS SENTIAL TO REALIZG HER DREAMS, AND UNWILLG TO BE DRAGGED OUT OF HER FORT ZONE. EVEN THE GIRLS WANT HER: AS A GIRL, SHE GOT NFSNS REGULARLY (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, DURG MIDDLE SCHOOL). AS A 'BOY' SHE GETS AS MANY OR MORE FANGIRLS THAN ANYONE THE HOST CLUB SHORT OF TAMAKI. THEY DON'T KNOW SHE'S A GIRL. FEAR OF THUNR: ONE OF THE FEW THGS HAHI IS GENUELY AAID OF. NEVER PLAYED FOR LGHS, SURPRISGLY ENOUGH, AND EVERYONE THE HOST CLUB (AFTER EVENTUALLY BEG MA AWARE) TRI TO DO WHAT THEY N TO HELP HER OUT DURG STORMS. FRIEND TO BUGS: IMPLIED EPISO 8 WHEN SHE FDS A CENTIPE ON A CRAB AND, STEAD OF KILLG , SHE SIMPLY PICKS UP AND THROWS ASI. WHEN ASKED IF SHE ULD HAVE BEEN EASIER ON , SHE SAID, "IT TAK A LOT MORE THAN THAT TO KILL A BUG." GENR-BLENR NAME: HAHI IS A VALID BOY'S NAME, AND SCE SHE'S WORKG CLASS, NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT HER FAY OR HISTORY. TH, SHE N E TO HER ADVANTAGE AND PRETEND TO BE A GUY, THOUGH WASN'T HER ORIGAL TENTN. GENR-CONCEALG VOICE: HAHI MT WORK AS A HOST TO PAY OFF A BT. THANKS TO HER ANDROGYNO LOOKS AND LOW VOICE, MOST CHARACTERS N'T REALIZE SHE'S A GIRL RIGHT AWAY. GENERATN XEROX: LOOKS AND ACTS A LOT LIKE HER CEASED MOTHER. LIKE SAID MOTHER, SHE BE A LAWYER AND FALLS LOVE WH AND MARRI AN IDTIC NICE GUY. THE GLASS GOTTA GO: WHEN THE TWS FIRST REMOVE HAHI'S GLASS, REVEALG HER LARGE, SPARKLY EY. THE HOST CLUB SISTS SHE WEAR NTACTS OM THEN ON, AS HER EY ARE APPARENTLY A DRAW FOR FEMALE CTOMERS. GREEN-EYED EPIPHANY: IN THE ANIME, HAHI SEEMS TO REALIZE TAMAKI MEANS MORE TO HER THAN SHE THOUGHT WHEN SHE IS IMPLIED TO BE BOTHERED BY ÉCLAIR MOVG ON HIM AND THE SUBSEQUENT ARRANGED MARRIAGE PLOT. IN THE MANGA, HAHI GETS NFIRMED JEALO TOWARDS KANOYA, A TRANSFER STUNT CSHG ON TAMAKI AFTER HE SAV HER OM GETTG KICKED BY A HORSE. THOUGH 'S AVERTED AGA AS WHILE SHE ADMS TO HERSELF TO HAVE BEEN JEALO, HAHI HAD ALREADY FIGURED OUT HER FEELGS FOR TAMAKI BEFORE, WH HER JEALOY TOWARDS KANOYA ONLY SERVG TO REAFFIRM THOSE FEELGS. HAPPY HOLIDAYS DRS: A BON ART PICTURE HAS HER WEARG AN OLD-FASHNED RED HOLIDAY DRS WH WHE ILLS, A BON, AND A SHORT WHE FUR PE. HAT RICH PEOPLE: SHE OFTEN EXPRS HER HATRED FOR RICH PEOPLE PECIALLY DUE TO WNSG THE HOST CLUB MEMBERS' ANTICS. HAHI: DAMN THE RICH PEOPLE... HIME CUT: BEFORE SHE CUT HER HAIR SHORT, WAS LONG, HAD SITAILS AND EVEN BANGS. IT WAS A VERSN AS SHE LACKS EVERY SGLE TRA NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WH . I CAN'T DANCE: IN THE BALL BEFORE SHE GO TO AMERI HAHI ENDS UP STEPPG ON TAMAKI'S FEET WHEN THEY DANCE SCE 'S HER FIRST TIME DANCG THE GIRL'S PART. I CHOOSE TO STAY: REMAS WH THE HOST CLUB AFTER HER BT IS PAID ( BOTH ANIME AND MANGA). IMAGE SPOT: SUBVERTED. THAT DISTANT, UNFOCED LOOK? IT MEANS SHE'S MENTALLY REVIEWG THIS WEEK'S STORE SPECIALS AS SHE PLANS HER GROCERY SHOPPG LIST. AFTER SHE'S REALIZED HER FEELGS FOR TAMAKI, SHE UNWILLGLY IMAG THE TWO OF THEM WH A TODDLER AND PLETELY EAKS OUT. INNVENIENT ATTRACTN: HAHI EVENTUALLY FDS OUT THAT SHE'S LOVE WH TAMAKI, A REVELATN SHE PLETELY EAKS OUT AT AND TRI HER BT AT NYG, SPENDG A WHOLE CHAPTER BASILLY NNG AROUND PANIC BEFORE GOG TO BED SICK. UPON FDG OUT, SHE EXPLICLY THKS "I DON'T WANT TO BE LOVE WH HIM!!!" INFORMED ATTRACTIVENS: MOST OF THE HOST CLUB MEMBERS AND PECIALLY TAMAKI WILL NTUOLY FAWN OVER HOW "CUTE!!!" SHE IS, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE SURROUND BY EQUALLY, IF NOT MORE, CUTE GIRLS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE SAME GO FOR THE ZA CLUB, AND THE PAST, HAHI HAD APPARENTLY RECEIVED LOVE NFSNS OM GUYS ONCE A MONTH. THOUGH MIGHT BE HER BOYISH AND "NATURAL" LOOK, BED WH HER DOWN-TO-EARTH NATURE, THAT MAK HER STAND OUT. IT'S NOT THAT HAHI ISN'T ATTRACTIVE, PER SE, 'S JT THAT SHE'S NO MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN THE RT OF THE CAST FULL OF PRETTY BOYS. INNOCENTLY INSENSIVE: WHILE SHE N BE TENTNALLY (AND SEEMS TO TAKE A PARTICULAR PERVERSE LIGHT FLATG TAMAKI), MOST OF HER CHARACTERISTILLY BLUNT STATEMENTS ARE SAID WHOUT ANY MALICE. COUPLED WH HER EMOTNAL NSY AND POPULARY YOU HAVE A SOCIAL DISASTER WAG TO HAPPEN. INSISTENT TERMOLOGY: SHE ALWAYS REFERS TO TAMAKI WH THE HONORIFIC OF SEMPAI, EVEN AFTER THEY'VE BEEN DATG FOR TWO YEARS. INTER-CLASS ROMANCE: WH TAMAKI; HE'S ULTRA RICH AND SHE'S A WORKG CLASS GIRL WH MIDDLE CLASS ASPIRATNS. INVISIBLE SUBTLE DIFFERENCE: THE ONLY ONE (AT FIRST) WHO N NOTE THE SUBTLE DIFFERENC BETWEEN THE TWS IS HAHI, THOUGH SHE SAYS FLAT-OUT THE FIRST EPISO THAT SHE JUDG PEOPLE MORE BY THEIR NER CHARACTER THAN SURFACE APPEARANCE. THE KIRK: MORE LEVELHEAD THAN MOST OF THE CLUB MEMBERS, ABLE TO JUDGE SUATNS AND RPOND ACRDGLY. SHE ROUNDS OUT TAMAKI'S PASSN AND KYOUYA'S SHREWDNS. LADY LOOKS LIKE A DU: VERY EARLY ON, HAHI IS ASSUMED TO BE MALE BEE OF HER VERY UNFLATTERG APPEARANCE. LIKE PARENT, LIKE SPOE: IT'S NSTANTLY LAMPSHAD HOW SIAR TAMAKI IS TO HER FATHER (M THE FACT THAT HER FATHER IS A BISEXUAL PROFSNAL CROSSDRSER). THEY GET MARRIED AT THE END OF THE FAL BON CHAPTER. LONG HAIR IS FEME: SHE ED TO HAVE LONG HAIR, BUT SHE CUT ALL OFF AFTER A KID STUCK SOME GUM , RULTG THE BOYISH SHORT HAIR SHE CURRENTLY HAS. SHE GROWS HER HAIR LONG AGA AFTER SHE BEGS DATG TAMAKI. LOVE EPIPHANY: IN CHAPTER 57, SHE REALIZ THAT SHE'S LOVE WH TAMAKI. MASCULE GIRL, FEME BOY: MASCULE GIRL (BIFXNEN, STOIC, ETC) TO TAMAKI'S FEME BOY (ROS, EFFEMATE BEHAVR, ETC). MISSG MOM: HERS HAS BEEN AD FOR SEVERAL YEARS. A FILLER EPISO THE ANIME REVEALS THAT HAHI STILL MISS HER A LOT. MISTAKEN FOR GAY: BEFORE HAHI GO TO AMERI, THE HOST CLUB ARRANGE A BALL HONOR OF HER CISN, AND EVENTUALLY HAVE HER SHOW UP WH A WIG AND DRS TO SHOW THEIR CTOMERS THAT SHE'S REALLY A GIRL, A REVELATN THEY HAPPILY ACCEPT, ADMTG THEY KNEW ALREADY. HOWEVER AS TURNS OUT, THEY THOUGHT HAHI WAS A BOY WHO WAS JT FOND OF CROSS-DRSG, AND THAT THEY WERE SUPPORTG A "FORBIDN LOVE" BETWEEN "HIM" AND TAMAKI. NICE GIRL: SNARK ASI AT HER RICH IENDS CLUELSNS, SHE'S GENERALLY IENDLY, AND HER CHARMS AND KDNS MAKE HER VERY POPULAR AS A MEMBER OF THE HOST CLUB. NOT SO ABOVE IT ALL: HAHI'S DISPUTABLY THE STRAIGHT MAN OF THE HOST CLUB AND SHE ALMOST ALWAYS MANAG TO KEEP HER POSURE SPE ALL OF THE SANY SHE FAC ON A NORMAL DAY. HOWEVER, SHE WILL PLETELY LOSE IF ANY OF THE OTHER HOST CLUB MEMBERS TAKE HER PERSONAL BELONGGS WHOUT HER PERMISSN, WHETHER BE PHOTOS OF HER THAT SHE ALREADY OWNS OR EVEN SOMETHG AS SMALL AS A EE MECHANIL PENCIL. HAHI BE JT AS BLHG, STUTTERG AND NERVO AROUND THE GUY SHE LIK AS SHE WOULD PREVLY MOCK THE HOST CLUB CTOMERS OF BEHAVG (THOUGH SHE RPONDS TO THE EMOTNS A FAR MORE HORRIFIED MANNER). ULTIMATELY A ZIG-ZAGGED TROPED AS SHE MANAG TO RETURN TO HER OLD SELF AFTER GETTG OVER HER IAL LOVE-EPIPHANY FREAK OUT, THOUGH SHE STILL BE WEAK-KNEED AND FLTERED EVERY TIME TAMAKI FLIRTS WH HER. THOUGH FOR GOOD MEASURE, AS KYOUYA LETS HER ON, SO DO TAMAKI IF SHE EVER FLIRTS BACK. OBLIVLY BETIFUL: SHE DON'T SEEM TO REALIZE HOW HER LOOKS GA PEOPLE'S ATTENTN. OBLIV TO LOVE: PAFULLY OBLIV; SHE ISN'T AWARE OF HOW MUCH TAMAKI IS LOVE WH HER, AND THE PAST SHE PLETELY MISTERPRETED HER MIDDLE SCHOOL IEND ARAI'S LOVE NFSN. IT TAK HER A WHILE TO REALIZE THAT SHE HAS FEELGS FOR TAMAKI HERSELF. OFFICIAL COUPLE: FELL LOVE WH TAMAKI AND, ACRDG TO WORD OF GOD, ENDS UP MARRYG HIM. ONLY SANE WOMAN: REGULARLY SNARKS AT THE SILLY ANTICS OF THE CLUB BEFORE BEG DRAGGED ALONG. OPPOS ATTRACT: WH TAMAKI; SHE'S A LOW ENERGY SNARKER WHILE HE'S A HIGH ENERGY HAM. OUT-OF-CHARACTER MOMENT: WHEN SHE GO TO KAIZAWA, THE NARRATN SCRIB HER INNER MONOLOGUE A CHEERFUL, BUBBLG TONE WH A NOTE THAT WAS 'HENED UP' TO MATCH THE ATMOSPHERE. PENNY AMONG DIAMONDS: A MONER WHO MANAG TO MAKE TO AN ELE PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR THE VERY RICH. PRECISN F-STRIKE: PLAYED FOR LGHS; SHE OCSNALLY REFERS TO HERSELF AS "ORE", WHICH ISN'T NECSARILY AS BAD AS THE F-WORD WOULD BE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, BUT TAMAKI TREATS AS SUCH, AND THE WORD IS ALMOST ALWAYS BLEEPED OUT WHEN SHE . PROTECTORATE: WHEN YOU E RIGHT DOWN TO , DON'T TOUCH HAHI. MS WH HER AND THE WHOLE HOST CLUB WILL BE AFTER YOUR BLOOD. THOSE BOYS LOVE HER, THEIR OWN WEIRD WAY, AND WILL TEAM UP TO SEND YOU TO NEXT WEEK. "BEWARE THE PHYSIL EXAM!" IS POSSIBLY THE BT ILLTRATN OF THIS; WHEN THEY MISTAKENLY THK SHE'S BEG ASSLTED, THEY LEAVE HER WOULD-BE ATTACKER PLEADG FOR HIS LIFE. SCHOLARSHIP STUNT: THE ONLY REASON SHE N AFFORD OURAN. SEXY MAN, INSTANT HAREM: SHE'S GOT THREE OF THE FOUR DOWN AND SHE DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF FAKG THE 'MAN' PART AS WELL. SEXY SANTA DRS: IT'S THE SI-STORY BON ART, BUT SHE STILL WEARS ONE◊. SHE CLEANS UP NICELY: EVERYONE -UNIVERSE AGRE THAT SHE LOOKS AMAZG FORMAL DRS, 'S JT THAT CLEANG UP IS SUCH A DRAG FOR HER BEE OF ALL OF THE TIME SHE HAS TO SPEND ON HOEKEEPG. IF WERE UP TO HER, SHE WOULD BE GOG AROUND SCHOOL HER FAMO WEAR EVERY DAY. SHIPPER ON DECK: IN A POST-ENDG BON CHAPTER, SHE IS THIS FOR MEI AND KASANODA. SGLE-TARGET SEXUALY: DO NOT SHOW AN OUNCE OF TERT ANY GUY OR EVEN ROMANCE GENERAL BEFORE SHE FALLS FOR TAMAKI. SGLE WOMAN SEEKS GOOD MAN: SHE MIGHT FD HIM ANNOYG FOR HIS GOOFS, BUT SHE EVENTUALLY REALIZ SHE FELL LOVE WH TAMAKI BEE OF HIS KDNS. SIXTH RANGER: THE NEWT MEMBER OF THE HOST CLUB, LONG AFTER THEIR FOUNDG. SLOTH: APART OM BEG SOMETHG OF A JERK OCSNALLY, THIS IS HER MA FLAW. THOUGH SHE'S CERTALY NOT LAZY AT SCHOOL OR AT HOME, SHE NEVER WANTS TO DO ANYTHG NEW OR EVEN SLIGHTLY TROUBLOME. JTIFIED THAT SHE DON'T WANT ANYTHG TO DISTRACT HER OM ACHIEVG HER GOALS AND SHE HAS TO WORK VERY HARD JT TO MATA THE LIFE SHE HAS. A CHANCE TO JT DO NOTHG FOR A CHANGE IS HER IA OF THE ULTIMATE LUXURY. THE SMURFETTE PRCIPLE: THE ONLY GIRL THE HOST CLUB. THE SNARK KNIGHT: "YOU RICH BASTARDS..." THE SOCIAL EXPERT: ZIG-ZAGGED. SHE N BE A LTLE NSE AND SENSIVE AT TIM, BUT HER ABILY TO SEE A PERSON'S TE FEELGS AND TENT IS ONE OF HAHI'S FG TRAS, BORRG ON LIVG LIE DETECTOR. SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO N TELL THE TWS APART BASED ON THEIR PERSONALI ALONE, AND HAS NO PROBLEMS SEEG THROUGH KYOUYA'S LD EXTERR. STRONG FAY REMBLANCE: SHE LOOKS A LOT LIKE HER LATE MOTHER, AND EVEN HAS A SIAR ALOOF, NO-NONSENSE PERSONALY. SUGAR-AND-ICE PERSONALY: WHILE SHE ISN'T EXACTLY LD, SHE IS UALLY TACHED AND LAZY BUT ALSO VERY RG TOWARDS HER IENDS. SUPPORTG PROTAGONIST: SHE'S THE VIEWPOT CHARACTER, BUT SHE'S DRAGGED ALONG BY BT TO THE HOST CLUB ACTIVI. SWEET POLLY OLIVER: NOT THAT SHE R IF ANYONE KNOWS SHE'S A GIRL OR NOT, BUT THE RT OF THE HOST CLUB PERSISTS MATAG THE CHARA ORR TO KEEP HER THE CLUB. TAREME EY: SHE'S STRONG WILLED BUT SHE HAS THE DOWNWARD POTG EY SIGN, POSSIBLY BEE 'S MORE A QUIET SLOTH THAN A AGGRSIVE THG. TOMBOY: LS OF A 'LIK TRADNAL BOY ACTIVI' THAN A 'DO NOT NFORM TO TRADNAL GIRL STEREOTYP'. TOMBOY AND GIRLY GIRL: THE TOMBOY TO RENGE'S GIRLY GIRL, MOSTLY BEE SHE ACTS LIKE A BOY AS PART OF THE CLUB'S SE BUT ALSO BEE SHE HAS NO UNRSTANDG OF MOE AND DON'T LIKE DRSG UP. TOMBOYISH NAME: SHE IS MISTAKEN BY MOST PEOPLE TO BE MALE PARTIALLY BEE "HAHI" IS AN UNISEX NAME. TOMBOY WH A GIRLY STREAK: SHE DRS LIKE A BOY AT SCHOOL AND DON'T RE IF PEOPLE MISTAKE HER FOR ONE. WHILE SHE DON'T MD DRSG UP FEME CLOTHG WHEN THE OCSN LLS FOR , HER EVERYDAY CLOTH ARE OBVLY CHOSEN PRIMARILY FOR PRACTILY. ON THE GIRLY SI HER HOBBI CLU OKG, CLEANG AND SEWG AND SHE HAS A BILATG FEAR OF THUNR. THE ANIME GAVE HER A DISTCTIVE DRS OVER JEANS WEEKEND OUTF TO UNRLE THE TWO SIS OF HER CHARACTER. TRAMARK FAVORE FOOD: OOTORO (FATTY TUNA, VERY EXPENSIVE AND FANCY). IT'S TURNED TO A RUNNG GAG. UNWANTED HAREM: TAMAKI, HIKA, KAO (SHOWN MORE SO THE MANGA), RENGE, KASANODA, AND HER MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSMATE ARAI ALL LIKE HAHI. SHE WAS EVEN NFSED TO BY HER OLD SCHOOLMAT AN AVERAGE OF ONCE PER MONTH PRR TO TRANSFERRG TO OURAN. NOT THAT HAHI NOTICED ANY OF THAT. WACKY PARENT, SER CHILD: WHILE SHE'S RELIABLE AND LEVEL-HEAD, HER FATHER IS A FLAMG TRANSVTE WH EMOTNAL ISSU. WHAT BETIFUL EY!: THE THG THAT MAK TAMAKI WANT HAHI FOR THE HOST CLUB IS WHEN HE TAK OFF HER GLASS AND SE HER EY. HE GETS HER NTACT LENS AT ONCE, WHICH MAKE HER EY STAND OUT EVEN MORE. WHOLOME CROSSDRSER: PLAYED STRAIGHT WH HAHI HERSELF, BUT ZIG-ZAGGED WH THE CLUB GUTS/FANGIRLS. AT FIRST, THEY VOKE THIS TROPE WHEN THEY REMARK THAT THEY'D LOVE TO SEE HOW HAHI WOULD LOOK DRSED AS A WOMAN, AND LATER, WHEN THEY CLAIM TO HAVE FIGURED OUT HAHI'S "SECRET", THEY AGREE THAT "HE" DOES LOOK GOOD AS A WOMAN. IT'S NOT UNTIL LATER THAT THEY REALIZE THAT HAHI IS, FACT, FEMALE, AND THAT THE "CLOSETED GAY BOY" THEY'VE BEEN CHAMPNG THIS WHOLE TIME WAS NOT. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SNAK?: HAHI ACTS SO REEE AND DIFFERENT ABOUT EVERYTHG THAT THE HOST CLUB SPENDS HALF AN EPISO TRYG TO FD SOMETHG SHE'S AAID OF, TO NO AVAIL. TAMAKI THEN CINTALLY FDS OUT AT THE END WHEN A STORM ROAMS BY THAT SHE'S TERRIFIED OF THUNR. WOMEN ARE WISER: SHE SEEMS LIKE THIS AS SHE IS MUCH MORE SENSIBLE THEN HER CLUBMAT, BUT 'S MORE LIKE COMMONERS ARE WISER AS THE CLUB'S CTOMERS ARE JT AS SILLY AS THEY ARE. BOTH LIVE AWE OF "MONER WISDOM." WORK OFF THE DEBT: THE ONLY REASON HAHI JOED THE CLUB THE FIRST PLACE IS TO PAY FOR THE PRICELS MG VASE SHE BROKE ON ACCINT. YOU DIDN'T ASK: HAHI NEVER ONCE CLAIMS TO BE A BOY OR NI THAT SHE'S A GIRL, SHE JT NEVER BOTHERS TO RRECT ANYONE'S ASSUMPTNS. SHE DIDN'T TELL THE HOST CLUB THAT SHE WAS A GIRL WHEN THEY FIRST MET BEE WASN'T RELEVANT TO THE NVERSATN. SHE POTS OUT THAT SHE NEVER SAID SHE WASN'T A GIRL, AND THEY'D ALL JT ASSUMED SHE WAS MALE OM HER HAIRSTYLE AND MANNER OF DRS. GIVEN HER PENCHANT FOR BTAL HONTY, HAHI'S OPEN "SECRET" ONLY GO UNDISVERED BEE NO ONE EVER BOTHERS TO ASK. GIVEN THAT THE SCHOOL ADMISTRATN FELY KNOWS SHE'S A GIRL, SHE'S APPARENTLY RELYG ON LOOPHOLE ABE (THAT A GIRL N'T WEAR THE BOY'S UNIFORM) STEAD OF ACTUAL CEPTN.    TAMAKI SUOH (RENè TAMAKI RICHARD GRANTAE) VOICED BY: MAMO MIYANO (JP), HIKA MIDORIKAWA (DRAMA CD), VIC MIGNOGNA (EN) PORTRAYED BY: YE YAMAMOTO (LIVE ACTN), JUN'YA KOMATSU (MIL)THE FOUNR AND PRINT OF THE HOST CLUB AND QUE THE CHARMER (EVEN THOUGH HE OFF AS A WELL-MEANG IDT HALF THE TIME). TAMAKI LIK TO THK OF HIMSELF AS THE "DADDY" OF THE HOST CLUB, AND THKS OF HAHI AS HIS "DGHTER", THOUGH HE EVENTUALLY TO REALIZE THAT HIS "FATHERLY" FEELGS TOWARDS HAHI ARE ACTUALLY ROMANTIC. ADAPTATN DYE-JOB: HAS DIRTY BLON HAIR THE MANGA. IN THE LIVE ACTN DRAMA, 'S MORE OF A PALE BROWN (HOWEVER, HE DO BEE A BLON THE MOVIE). ALLERGIC TO LOVE: HE ONCE FEELS AN URGE TO KISS HAHI WHICH MAK HIM GO TO BED SICK WH A LD, WONRG WHAT'S WRONG WH HIM FOR WANTG TO DO THAT. IRONILLY, THE SAME TROPE LATER GO FOR HAHI; SEE HER EXAMPLE. ALL-LOVG HERO: THIS GUY WILL HELP ANYBODY, ANYTIME. IT IS EXPLICLY THIS WHICH BROUGHT THE HOST CLUB TOGETHER THE FIRST PLACE, AND MAK THE OTHER CLUB MEMBERS HIGHLY LOYAL TO AND PROTECTIVE OF HIM. AMBIGUOLY BI: IN THE DRAMA, HE CLEARLY FALLS FOR HAHI THE MOMENT HE SE HER CLEANED UP NICE TO PLAY HOST, BUT AT THAT POT HE STILL THKS SHE'S A BOY. THE OTHERS DON'T SEEM TO MD AT ALL. ANIMAL MOTIFS: A DOG, FOR HIS ENERGIZED, LOVABLE AND LOYAL PERSONALY. ANGER BORN OF WORRY: HE SLDS HAHI FOR TRYG TO TAKE ON A GROUP OF BULLI BY HERSELF AND NEARLY GETTG KILLED THE PROCS. ONCE SHE TRI TO SPEAK FOR HERSELF, HE REF TO TALK TO HER UNTIL SHE ADMS SHE WAS WRONG. BASTARD ANGST: TAMAKI IS THE ILLEGIMATE SON OF A JAPANE MAN AND A FRENCH WOMAN. HIS EVIL MATRIARCH GRANDMOTHER BROUGHT HIM TO JAPAN EXCHANGE FOR PAYG FOR HIS MOTHER'S FANCIAL TROUBL AND FORBA HIM OM EVER HAVG NTACT WH HER AGA. HIS GRANDMOTHER STILL TREATS TAMAKI LIKE CRAP, ALWAYS REMDG HIM THAT HE'S "FILTHY." BEWARE THE NICE ON: IT'S PRETTY CHILLG AND SOMETIM DOWNRIGHT SRY TO SEE HIM ANGRY. HE WILL CHEW OUT AT ANYONE WHO PUTS HAHI'S LIFE DANGER (CLUDG THE OTHER HOST CLUBS MEMBERS AND EVEN HAHI HERSELF), AND GENERAL; DON'T MS WH ANY OF HIS HOST CLUB MEMBERS OR THEIR GUTS. YOU WILL BE SORRY. BISHIE SPARKLE: HE IS SO FLAMBOYANT A SPARKLY BACKGROUND HALF THE TIME. BUT NOT TOO FOREIGN: HE'S HALF-JAPANE AND HALF-FRENCH. CAMP STRAIGHT: HE'S EFFEMATE, RRI ROS EVERYWHERE, VOLUNTEERED TO WEAR A PIMPED OUT DRS AND YET HE ONLY HAS EY FOR HAHI. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: HE EVENTUALLY REALIZ HIS FEELGS FOR HAHI AND ALSO LEARNS THAT THE HOST CLUB BONDS ARE SO STRONG THAT THEY WON'T BREAK APART EVEN IF HE SHOULD PURSUE HER. LATER HAHI TEACH HIM TO QU HIDG HIS FEELGS (WHEN HE PRETENDS HE DON'T WANT TO SEE HIS MOTHER) AND THAT 'S MUCH BETTER FOR A FAY IF HE, HIS FATHER, AND HIS GRANDMOTHER WOULD JT BE HONT WH EACH OTHER. THE CHARMER: HE HAS HIS DAD'S TALENT AT SWEET-TALKG PEOPLE. CHICK MAG: HE'S THE CLUB'S KG FOR A REASON; 70 PERCENT OF THE CLUB'S CTOMERS CHOOSE HIM. CHIVALRO PERVERT: HE'S SURPRISGLY NSERVATIVE EVEN WHEN HE TRI TO GET WH HAHI. CLOUDCUCKOOLANR: THE WAY HIS MD GETS OM IA TO HYPOTHIS TO NCLN WOULD BAFFLE THE GREATT PSYCHOLOGIST. THE CUCKOOLANR WAS RIGHT: WHEN HAHI GETS KIDNAPPED, TAMAKI IS THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZ, BASED SOLELY ON THE FACT THAT SHE DROPPED A TOY RG HE GAVE HER ON THE GROUND. THE RT OF THE HOST CLUB LLS HIM AN IDT FOR JUMPG TO NCLNS SO QUICKLY UNTIL TAMAKI'S FAY LAWYER NNG SAYG THAT HAHI'S JT BEEN TAKEN AWAY AN UNMARKED R. CORNER OF WOE: COM WH S OWN MHROOMS! CRAZY JEALO GUY: CAN SOMETIM FALL TO THIS REGARDS TO HAHI TO THE POT WHERE HE EVEN GETS ANNOYED TOWARDS HIS OWN FATHER JT FOR TRYG TO IMPRS HER. HE'S MOSTLY HARMLS AND A LOVABLE IDT THOUGH. IN TERMS OF HIS GUTS, REALLY BOTHERS HIM WHEN OTHERS MEMBERS STEAL THEM OM HIM, EVEN IF HE WON'T ADM SOMETIM. HAHI: "OH... SO, HE’S UPSET BEE I TOOK HER OM HIM?" TAMAKI: "SHUT UP! I ULDN’T RE LS!" CROUCHG MORON, HIDN BADASS: HE N SHIFT OM "SIMPERG MORONIC FOP" TO "HOT-BLOOD FORCEFUL LEAR" STANTLY IF THE SUATN IS SUFFICIENTLY SER. HE'S ALSO MORE ATHLETIC THAN ONE WOULD THK, AND HE N PULL OFF A DAMN GOOD DYNAMIC ENTRY. DETERMATOR: PERHAPS THE FLAKIT AND FLIGHTIT CHARACTER TO EVER EARN THE DISTCTN, BUT TAMAKI ROLUTELY REF TO BE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN ANY OF THE PEOPLE HE R ABOUT. WHICH TO A BIG SHOCK TO HIS FATHER WHEN TAMAKI MAK QUE CLEAR HE WANTS GOOD RELATNSHIPS WH BOTH HIS MOM AND HIS EVIL MATRIARCH GRANDMOTHER, AND PUTS HIM AGONY WHEN HIS GRANDMOTHER FORBIDS HIM OM HAVG ANY NTACT WH HAHI. DTERAGONIST: HAHI IS THE MA CHARACTER, BUT TAMAKI SHAR ABOUT AS MUCH SCREENTIME AND NARRATIVE FOC AS HER (IF NOT MORE) AND DON'T HATE TO POT THIS OUT. DZY GENI: HE GETS EXCELLENT GRAS, HE'S AMAZGLY SIGHTFUL WHEN TO ANALYZG OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELGS AND MOTIVATNS... AND YET, STILL UNNIABLY AN IDT HERO. DRAMA QUEEN: HE ZIG-ZAGS THIS TROPE AS SHALLOW OR IMMEDIATE ISSU AT HAND WILL GREATLY UPSET HIM, MAKG SURE EVERYONE ELSE SE HIS PROBLEMS AS WELL. WHEN TO REAL, PSYCHOLOGIL ISSU REGARDG HIMSELF OR HIS FAY HOWEVER, HE WILL KEEP HIDN AND PRETEND LIKE, OR NVCE HIMSELF, THAT EVERYTHG'S FE. DUMB BLOND: HE ACTS LIKE A DZ, AND HAS MIMAL MON SENSE PARED TO THE OTHER HOSTS, BUT HE EFFORTLSLY GETS THE SEND BT GRAS THE SEND YEAR CLASS BEHD ONLY KYOYA. EVERYONE LOOKS SEXIER IF FRENCH: OR HIS SE HALF-FRENCH, BUT HE'S STILL THE HOST CLUB'S MOST POPULAR MEMBER. FIRST GUY WS: HE'S THE FIRST HOST CLUB MEMBER TO REACH OUT TO HAHI, WHILE SHE DON'T FAIARIZE HERSELF WH THE TWS UNTIL A WHILE LATER. FOR WANT OF A NAIL: NOT AN -STORY EXAMPLE, BUT WORD OF GOD HAS STATED THAT HE'S THE NAIL THAT PREVENTS A LOT OF MISERY PEOPL' LIV. SHOULD HE NOT BE PRENT, AND HAD NOT OPENED THE HOST CLUB, A LOT OF PEOPL' LIV WOULD BE MUCH WORSE. FRIEND TO ALL CHILDREN: IS QUICKLY POPULAR WH THE CHILDREN HE MEETS DUE TO HIS OWN CHILDISH, BUT ALSO LOVG AND DOTG PERSONALY. A PANEL AT THE VERY END REVEALS HE QUICKLY WON THE TWS' LTLE SISTER'S AFFECTNS (MUCH TO THE TWS' JEALOY), AND IS ALSO IMPLIED THAT HE AND HAHI BEME PARENTS QUE EARLY ON AS HE NO DOUBT WOULD LOVE TO BE A (REAL) FATHER. GENERATN XEROX: PLAYED WH. RANKA RELUCTANTLY ADMS THAT HE SE A B OF HIMSELF TAMAKI (TO THE POT WHERE TAMAKI SAYS A LE THAT RANKA SAID TO HAHI THEIR BACKSTORY, EXACTLY THE SAME DOWN TO THE LETTER AND GTUR). THAT SAID, PLAYED STRAIGHTER WHEN TAMAKI MARRI HAHI (AND BE RANKA'S SON THROUGH MARRIAGE). HAIR OF GOLD, HEART OF GOLD: HONT, CHIVALRO AND NOT ACTG WHEN HE CHARMS CTOMERS.

HIS FATHER LATER DISSOLVED HIS FIRST MARRIAGE AND MARRIED HIS PARAMOUR. HE HAS ANGST ABOUT THIS BUT HE STILL TAK AFTER HIS FATHER MANY POSIVE WAYS. HEROIC BSOD: HAS A FEW. MOST OF EPISO 23'S PLOT, TAMAKI'S "UNWTG DEPRSN", REVOLV HIM LAMENTG ABOUT KASANODA KNOWG THAT HAHI IS A GIRL, AND REALIZG THAT HE'S NOT HAHI'S FATHER. OF URSE, 'S PLAYED FOR AN EXTENT. IN EPISO 25, ÉCLAIR MORE THAN MD CONTROLS HIM TO SHUTTG DOWN THE HOST CLUB, WHICH IS AID BY THE NOTN THAT HE AND THAT THE HOST CLUB ARE BEG BURNS TO THE OTHERS. HIS PRENCE HAS DIMISHED LIKE A SNUFFED OUT NDLE. PERHAPS NOT SURPRISGLY, HE HAS ONE AFTER REALIZG HIS FEELGS FOR HAHI (BEE HE'S AAID WHAT WILL DO TO THE HOST CLUB IF HE PURSU HER). IT TAK SOME WORK OM THEM TO MAKE HIM REALIZE THAT A ROMANTIC RELATNSHIP WH THE CLUB WON'T BREAK THEM APART. LASTLY, HE HAS A REALLY BAD ONE WHEN HE LEARNS THAT HIS FATHER WENT BEHD HIS GRANDMOTHER'S BACK AND HAD HER FIRED, AND SERV PART AS ONE OF THE MA DILEMMAS BEFORE THE FALE. HETEROSEXUAL LIFE-PARTNERS: WH KYOUYA; THEY STARTED THE CLUB TOGETHER AND HAVE THE CLOST RELATNSHIP OF THE HOSTS (SANS THAT OF HIKA AND KAO). HOLLYWOOD GEICS: INHERED LILAC EY AND BLON HAIR OM HIS MOTHER, WHEN REALISTILLY HE SHOULD HAVE BROWN EY AND HAIR LIKE HIS FATHER. IN THE MANGA, HOWEVER, HE ACTUALLY HAS DIRTY BLOND HAIR TO BALANCE THIS SOMEWHAT, WHILE THE ANIME CHOSE TO GIVE HIM PURE BLOND HAIR STEAD. IDT HERO: HE'LL HELP ANYONE BUT OFTEN BLUNRS .

I WANT MY BELOVED TO BE FASHNABLE: TAMAKI NSTANTLY ATTEMPTS TO GET HAHI TO PRETTY DRS. KEET: SUPER ENERGY AND CHEER. HE WAS PECIALLY HYPER MIDDLE SCHOOL, MUCH TO KYOYA'S ANNOYANCE. LADYKILLER LOVE: 70 PERCENT OF THE SCHOOL'S FEMALE STUNTS SWOON OVER HIM, BUT HE ONLY HAS EY FOR HAHI. LARGE HAM: ALL THAT POSG AND CHARMG AND LOUD CLARATNS? THEY'RE NOT ACTG. THAT'S HOW HE REALLY IS. THE LEAR: HE LEADS BY CHARISMA WHEN HE'S NOT BEG A MORON. TO BE SPECIFIC, 'S 'KG'. LOVE EPIPHANY: HE FALLY REALIZ HIS FEELGS FOR HAHI CHAPTER 64 (AND REVEALS CHAPTER 68)... BEFORE THIS HAVG MISTERPRETED HIS FEELGS A WAY ONLY HE ULD. LOVE MARTYR: FALLS HEAD OVER HEELS FOR HAHI EVEN THOUGH SHE 90% OF THE TIME TREATS HIM LIKE A HUGE PA HER BUTT.

MASCULE GIRL, FEME BOY: FEME BOY (ROS, EFFEMATE BEHAVR, ETC) TO HAHI'S MASCULE GIRL (BIFXNEN, STOIC, ETC). THE MCCOY: THE MOST PASSNATELY DRIVEN MEMBER OF THE CLUB, QUICK TO LET HIS EMOTNS GUI HIM AND THROW HIM TO ALL KDS OF TROUBLE. MEANGFUL NAME: IN CHAPTER 77, HE POTS THIS OUT TO HIS GRANDMOTHER, THAT HIS FATHER HAD CHOSEN HIS NAME WHICH MEANS "A CIRCLE OVERG EVERYTHG" OR MORE SPIFILLY "RG", NO DOUBT PLIMENTG HIS PERSONALY. MISSG MOM: TAMAKI'S EVIL MATRIARCH GRANDMOTHER SENT HER TO THE FRENCH UNTRYSI AND FORBA ANY KD OF NTACT BETWEEN THEM. MISTAKEN FOR GAY: HIS CLIENTS REALIZE THAT HE AND HAHI ARE TOGETHER AND ARE ACCEPTG OF , THKG THAT HAHI IS A GUY AND THAT THEY'RE HAVG A "FORBIDN RELATNSHIP" WH EACH OTHER. MIXED ANCTRY IS ATTRACTIVE: THIS IS PART OF TAMAKI'S BRAND APPEAL THE HOST CLUB AS HIS HALF-JAPANE, HALF-FRENCH HERAGE HAS GIVEN HIM THE BLON HAIR AND BLUE EY THAT IS SEEN BY OTHERS AS BEG PRCELY AND CHARMG. MOOD-SWGER: PART OF THE CLOUD CUCKOOLANR JUMPS OF LOGIC AND HIS GENERAL EMOTNAL EXTREM LEAD TO QUICK AND BAFFLG SHIFTS. MUNDANE OBJECT AMAZEMENT: SO, SO MUCH. FOR EXAMPLE, HE'S AMAZED BY "MONER FFEE". NICE GUY: SERLY JT WANTS EVERYONE TO GET ALONG, THE POOR GUY. OFFICIAL COUPLE: ENDS UP MARRYG HAHI. OPPOS ATTRACT: WH HAHI; SHE'S A LOW ENERGY SNARKER WHILE HE'S A HIGH ENERGY HAM. OVERLY LONG NAME: HIS FULL NAME WHILE HE WAS A KID FRANCE (SEE FOLR LABEL). GETS A WORD LONGER WH HIS CURRENT SURNAME. POLILLY INRRECT HERO: WHILE HE'S UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS, HE STILL MAK LBOPHOBIC REMARKS ABOUT THE ZA CLUB, AS WELL AS G SLURS AT HAHI'S DAD. THE POLLYANNA: ESPECIALLY LATER CHAPTERS OF THE MANGA; THERE IS NO GETTG HIS SPIR DOWN. PRCELY YOUNG MAN: THE PRCE CHARMG TYPE WH SOME LIGHT SHAS OF REBEL PRCE; HE'S A MORN DAY (ILLEGIMATE) PRCE AND EFFORTLSLY CHARMS MANY LADI AND EVENTUALLY THE EVIL MATRIARCH GRANDMOTHER THAT HAT HIM. PROUD BETY: A RARE HEROIC VERSN. HE KNOWS QUE WELL HE'S THE MOST HANDSOME MAN ON THE OURAN AMY CAMP, AND HE REVELS , BUT BEYOND THAT HE'S ALSO A GENUELY KD AND IENDLY PERSON WHO, WHEN DOWN TO , WILL LIKE A PERSON MORE FOR WHO THEY ARE THAN HOW THEY LOOK. PURPLE IS POWERFUL: DO A CTRL+F SEARCH ON THIS PAGE AND YOU'LL FD PRCELY SCRIPTNS A DOZEN TIM. HE'S THE CLUB KG, AFTER ALL, AND HE HAS ROYAL PURPLE EY TO ADD TO HIS STATURE AS SUCH. THE TWS EVEN NICKNAME HIM "ORD." RED ONI, BLUE ONI: THE RED TO KYOUYA'S BLUE BEE HE IS SO PASSNATE AND EE WH HIS EMOTNS. THE REVEAL: IN CHAPTER 55 HE REVEALS HIS FULL (FRENCH) NAME TO BE RENè TAMAKI RICHARD GRANTAE. THOUGH 'S NOT TREATED LIKE A BIG AL.RICH DOLLARS, POOR SENSE: LIKE THE RT OF THE ST.--> SGLE-TARGET SEXUALY: HE ONLY HAS EY FOR HAHI.SO BETIFUL, IT'S A CURSE:--> SOMETHG ABOUT A ROSE: OFTEN HAS ONE, HIS HAND OR HIS SCREEN AME AS PART HIS CHARMG PERSONALY.

TAKG THE BULLET: IN A DOWNPLAYED VERSN OF THE TROPE: HE SAV A TRANSFER STUNT OM GETTG KICKED BY A HORSE, SHIELDG HER WH HIS BODY WHICH ENDS WH HIM GETTG KICKED STEAD. HE'S NOT BADLY JURED, BUT STILL HAS A HURTG SHOULR FOR A WHILE AFTERWARDS. TAREME EY: CAN CROSS WH TSURIME EY WHEN HE'S FEELG PARTICULARLY CKY BUT OTHERWISE 'S THE ROUND KD FOR HIS TEAM MOM THG. TEAM MOM: ALTHOUGH HE CLAIMS THE "FATHER" ROLE, HE'S ACTUALLY AN EMOTNAL AND NURTURG LEAR FIGURE TO THE HOST CLUB. TEARS OF JOY: TO NO ONE'S SURPRISE, HE CRI THE WHEN HE AND HAHI GET MARRIED. HAHI HAS TO WIPE THEM AWAY.TENR TEARS--> TRAMARK FAVORE FOOD: HE NEVER TURNS DOWN THE CHANCE TO TRY "MONER FOOD." UNKNOWGLY LOVE: ALTHOUGH TAMAKI IS TYPILLY HIGHLY PERCEPTIVE OF THE FEELGS OF OTHERS, HE IS OBLIV TO HIS FEELGS TOWARDS HAHI, RATNALIZG HIS NSTANT FAWNG OVER HER AS AFFECTN FOR A SURROGATE DGHTER. IT TAK MULTIPLE PEOPLE QUTNG THIS LOGIC (AND OTHER PEOPLE EXPLICLY EXPRSG THEIR ROMANTIC TERT HAHI) FOR TAMAKI TO FALLY E TO TERMS WH HIS ROMANTIC FEELGS. UPPER-CLASS TW: HE N BE AMAZGLY NAIVE ABOUT THE WORLD. ALTHOUGH UNLIKE A LOT OF EXAMPL OF THIS, HE'S GENUELY PLEASANT AND LIKEABLE."WELL DONE, DAD!" GUY:-->    KYOUYA OOTORI VOICED BY: MASAYA MATSAZE (JP), JUN'ICHI SUWABE (DRAMA CD), J. MICHAEL TATUM (EN), YONGWOO SH (KOR) PORTRAYED BY: SHUNSE DAO (LIVE-ACTN), MASAMICHI SATONAKA (MIL)THE VICE-PRINT OF THE HOST CLUB, AND ONE OF TAMAKI'S CLOST IENDS. KYOUYA TENDS TO TAKE A MORE RPONSIBLE APPROACH TO THE CLUB'S ACTIVI, AND TRI TO MAKE SURE THAT TAMAKI AND THE OTHERS DON'T GO OVERBOARD. AMBIGUOLY BI: THE THOR HAS STATED THAT IF KYOUYA WERE TO MARRY A WOMAN, WOULD MOSTLY BE FOR HIS FAY'S BENEF AND NOT NECSARILY OUT OF ROMANTIC TERT AND EVEN J. MICHAEL TATUM HAS THROWN HIS LOT WH KYOUYA BEG BI AND TERTED BOTH TAMAKI AND HAHI. IT HELPS EXPLA THE PTHS OF HIS ANKLY BIZARRE IENDSHIP WH TAMAKI AS WELL AS THE LENGTHS HE GO TO ORR TO PROTECT AND HELP HIS IEND. AND WHILE THE ANIME, MORI AND HONEY ALSO DON'T EXPRS OVERT TERT WOMEN, KYOUYA'S RELATNSHIP WH HAHI (PARTICULARLY THE FAMO MER SCENE AND THE LAST TWO EPISOS) HAS ENOUGH VIB TO SUGGT A GENUE ATTRACTN AND AFFECTN. THE CHSMASTER: THIS IS WHY HE IS THE "SHADOW KG"; HE NTROLS EVERYTHG BEHD THE SCEN WH DISCRETE AND CUNNG MOV. CHSMASTER SIKICK: HE'S MORE THAN NTENT TO LET TAMAKI N THE HOST CLUB AND SERVE AS THE GROUP'S "ONT MAN." THE DREAD: HIS MANIPULATIVE AND CUNNG NATURE, UPLED WH THE FACT THAT HE'S RICH ENOUGH THAT HE ULD POTENTIALLY BUY AND SELL YOU FOR CROSSG HIM, MAK HIM THIS. EVEN HAHI IS SRED OF HIM SOMETIM. GIVEN THE LD, "EVIL BSMAN" ONT HE LIK TO PUT UP, APPEARS THAT HE LIK TO EXPLO THIS, BE FOR PERSONAL GA OR JT FOR FUN. DU LOOKS LIKE A LADY: DURG THE CROSSDRSG PA, HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO EVEN REMOTELY REMBL AN ACTUAL WOMAN◊. THOUGH THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BEE HIS FACE WASN'T SPLATTERED WH MAKE UP LIKE THOSE OF THE OTHER BOYS. ENRAGED BY IDCY: WHILE NORMALLY THE WORST HE'LL GET TERMS OF ANGER IS TRANQUIL FURY, IF PHED FAR ENOUGH BY SOMETHG HE SE AS STUPID, KYOYA ENDS UP GETTG VISIBLY PISSED, ENOUGH TO TERRIFY HAHI MORE THAN HIS NORMAL MEANOR. CASE POT, THE OTHERS, NAMELY TAMAKI, DRAGGG HIM OUT OF BED TO A PARTMENT STORE AND FETTG ABOUT HIM, AND THEN TAMAKI REPORTG HIM AS A "LOST CHILD" OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER WHILE A CROWD OF PEOPLE STARE AT HIM NFN. IT PISS HIM OFF TO THE POT HE CLAR HE'LL KILL TAMAKI FOR THIS. FETISHIZED ABER: HE ISN'T ONE, BUT HE CERTALY PLAYS THE IMAGE OF ONE TO THE HILT AS PART OF HIS HOST CLUB DUTI. APPARENTLY, SOME OF HIS CTOMERS LIKE TO FANTASIZE ABOUT HAVG A MEAN BOYIEND. FICTN 500: HE'S PENNTLY WEALTHY, BEG ABLE TO BUY HIS FAY'S FAILG PANY THE ANIME. FOUR EY, ZERO SOUL: SCE HE'S THE ONE MONORG HAHI'S BT, HIS GLASS ADD TO THIS IMAGE; "HE'S LIKE SOME EVIL TAX LLECTOR!" THOUGH THIS LSENS AS TIME GO ON. GUILE HERO: CUNNG, V; THE CHANCELLOR TO TAMAKI'S CHARISMATIC KG. HAREM NANNY: IT'S UP TO HIM TO HERD THE HOST CLUB, THOUGH HE DID HAVE A DAY THE LIMELIGHT WH HAHI. HETEROSEXUAL LIFE-PARTNERS: WH TAMAKI WHO IS HIS ONLY IEND STEAD OF 'BS ASSOCIATE'' (AT FIRST). HIDN HEART OF GOLD: Y, HE'S STGY, SNEAKY, AND PUTS UP THE AIR OF A HEARTLS KNOW--ALL, BUT HIS LOYALTY TO TAMAKI AND THE HOST CLUB IS UNWAVERG AND HE'D RISK HIS OWN REPUTATN TO HELP THEM. HYPER-COMPETENT SIKICK: TO TAMAKI. HE'S THE ONE MAKG THE HOST CLUB PRACTIL WHILE TAMAKI PLANS THE OUTRAGEO IAS AND THEM. IN-SERI NICKNAME: "SHADOW KG". I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT LAST ONE: IN THE MEDIL EXAM EPISO, TAMAKI DISMISS THE RT OF THE HOST CLUB AS "THE HOMOSEXUAL SUPPORTG ST" PARED TO HIS AND HAHI'S OFFICIAL COUPLE STAT ( HIS MD). LATER, KYOUYA TRICKS TAMAKI TO DISGUISG HIMSELF AS A MALE HAHI WHEN THEY DIDN'T NEED TO BOTHER WH ANY CEPTN BEE KYOUYA DISLIKED BEG NSIRED JT SUPPORTG ST, "HOMOSEXUAL OR OTHERWISE". THE LANCER: THE LD TACTICIAN TO TAMAKI'S IDT HERO. MISER ADVISOR: OF A MORE PROACTIVE VARIETY; HE'S THE ONLY REASON THE CLUB STILL HAS MONEY. NOT A MORNG PERSON: IT'S VERY HARD TO WAKE HIM UP. IN ONE OF HIS DAY--THE-LIMELIGHT EPISOS, TAMAKI AND THE RT OF THE HOST CLUB SCEND UPON KYOUYA THE MORNG, STUFF HIM TO HIS CLOTH, AND DRAG HIM ALL THE WAY OUT TO A SHOPPG MALL BEFORE HE FALLY AROUND TO NSCNS. NOT SO STOIC: EPISO 24 OF THE ANIME; THE MANGA, HIS BLOW UP AT TAMAKI'S FATHER. NUMBER TWO: IF TAMAKI IS THE KG THEN HE IS THE PRIME MISTER, OR EVIL CHANCELLOR. ODD FRIENDSHIP: WH KAO, OF ALL PEOPLE, LATER MANGA CHAPTERS. WHO WOULD PREDICT THE SHADOW KG AND A PRANKSTER GETTG ALONG SO WELL? PRCELY YOUNG MAN: THE ICE KG TYPE TO FURTHER NTRAST WH TAMAKI'S PRCE CHARMG. THE PROUD ELE: HE IS THE BRA BEHD THE HOST CLUB. HE ACTS AS THOUGH HE R ONLY ABOUT THE BOTTOM LE AND WHAT WILL BENEF HIMSELF, AS HE FEELS BEFS THE THIRD SON OF THE OOTORI FAY, BUT HE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE A WELL-HIDN ALTISTIC STREAK. PSYCHO SIKICK: A RELATIVELY D EXAMPLE GIVEN THE IALISTIC TONE OF THE SERI, BUT FELY EFFECT BETWEEN KYOUYA AND TAMAKI. TAMAKI, ALL-LOVG HERO, WANTS TO HELP EVERYONE AND SEEMS OBLIV TO ANY SIGNS THAT ANYONE MIGHT HAVE OUT FOR HIM; KYOUYA IS ENTIRELY OKAY WH GOG BEHD TAMAKI'S BACK TO PROTECT HIS TERTS AND MAKE VERY CLEAR THAT ANYONE WHO MS WH HIM WILL BE MA TO REGRET . THE NEWSPAPER CLUB EPISO PROVIS A PARTICULARLY VIVID EXAMPLE. RAVEN HAIR, IVORY SK: THE VISUAL AND HIS MEANOR MAKE HIM A LR BETY FOR CTOMERS THAN TAMAKI'S GOLN CHARM. THE RELIABLE ONE: KEEPS THE HOST CLUB NNG SMOOTHLY. RED ONI, BLUE ONI: THE BLUE TO TAMAKI'S RED BEE OF HIS LD AND LCULATG MEANOR. SARSTIC DEVOTEE: REGARDLS OF HIS DISDA FOR TAMAKI'S FOBBERY, HE GO ALONG WH . SRY SHY GLASS: COMPLETE WH THEIR OWN SRY BACKDROPS! THE SMART GUY: HE DO THE CLUB'S FANC. THE SNARK KNIGHT: NOT TO THE SAME EXTENT AS HAHI (BEE HE JOS THE ACTIVI SHE SNARKS AT) BUT HE HAS HIS MOMENTS. THE SOCIAL EXPERT: HE'S GOOD AT INTIFYG PEOPLE'S SIR AND HANDL. TAMAKI TRATED THE HELL OUT OF HIM UNTIL KYOUYA FALLY REALIZED HE SIRED NOTHG MORE THAN HIS IENDSHIP. SOULLS BEDROOM: PLAYED WH "AND SO KYOYA MET HIM". MIDDLE SCHOOL KYOYA IS PICTED WH A PRISTE ROOM, HIS CLOTHG SO WELL-PARTMENTALIZED THAT IF ANYONE ELSE TRI TO GO THROUGH HIS DRAWERS THEY NNOT PUT ANYTHG BACK. THIS ENDS UP BEG SYMBOLIC FOR KYOYA'S EMOTNS — THOUGH NEATLY PARTMENTALIZED SO HE DON'T MATE ON HIS LOWLY POSN AS THE THIRD SON OF THE OOTORI FAY, ONCE TAMAKI ENTERS HIS LIFE, BE HARR AND HARR]] FOR KYOYA TO KEEP HIS CLOTHG OR HIS EMOTNS NEATLY TUCKED AWAY. THE SPOCK: COLD, LCULATG BUT NOT ALWAYS. STOIC SPECTACL: ONCE AGA, HIS GLASS ADD TO THE NTRAST WH TAMAKI. TEAM DAD: ALTHOUGH TAMAKI LLS HIM THE "MOMMY" FIGURE (AS UNTERPART TO HIS OWN SELF-INTIFITN AS "DAD"), KYOUYA IS THE STERN DISCIPLARIAN LEAR FIGURE OPPOSE TAMAKI'S TEAM MOM. TOKEN EVIL TEAMMATE: KYOUYA IS NSIRED BY EVERYONE THE CLUB TO BE MORE OR LS EVIL, PECIALLY PARED TO EVERYONE ELSE. EVEN THE TWS ARE AAID OF HIM, BUT HE'S STILL MOSTLY A GOOD GUY. TSURIME EY: ANOTHER VISUAL NTRAST WH TAMAKI; THERE'S NOTHG SOFT ABOUT HIM. UNDYG LOYALTY: DPE WHAT HE MAY CLAIM TO THE NTRARY, 'S CLEAR THAT KYOYA IS LOYAL TO TAMAKI THROUGH AND THROUGH. UNKEMPT BETY: AS SHOWN EPISO 17, KYOUYA STILL LOOKS GOOD EVEN WHEN HE'S LERALLY DRAGGED OUT OF BED UMPY CLOTH AND BED HAIR. YOU DIDN'T ASK: DUE TO HIS BACKGROUND CHECKS ON EVERYONE THE SCHOOL, HE KNOWS ALMOST EVERYTHG ABOUT EVERYONE, CLUDG HAHI BEG A GIRL, KASUGAZAKI'S ARRANGED MARRIAGE, AND THE FACT THAT PRCS MICHELLE ISN'T ACTUALLY RICH AND PAMPERED. WHY DON'T HE REVEAL ANY OF THIS RMATN WHEN WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY RELEVANT? WELL... "WELL DONE, SON" GUY: AS THE THIRD SON TO HIS FAY'S LE OF WORK, HE'S PRSURED HIMSELF TO SURPASS HIS OLR BROTHERS' NSIRABLE ACHIEVEMENTS ORR TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF IMPRSG HIS FATHER AND EARNG THE RIGHT TO HER LEARSHIP OF THEIR PANY. IT'S WHEN TAMAKI ENTERS HIS LIFE THAT HE STARTS TO LOOSEN UP AND RE FOR OTHER PEOPLE FOR SOMETHG OTHER THAN BS BENEFS. IN THE ANIME THIS ULTIMATELY LEADS TO A MOMENT WHICH HE BUYS HIS DAD'S PANY (OR AT LEAST THE MAJORY STOCK) OM A PETOR WHO WAS BLACKMAILG HIS DAD WH . THEN HE GIV THE WHOLE THG RIGHT BACK TO HIS DAD LIKE 'S NOTHG AT ALL.    HIKA & KAO HACHI KAO (RIGHT) AND HIKA (LEFT). THERE'S REALLY ONLY ONE WAY TO TELL THEM APART. I'LL SHOW YOU LATER...HIKA VOICED BY: KENICHI SUZUMURA (JP), SOICHIRO HOSHI (DRAMA CD), TODD HABERKORN (EN), UM SANG-HYUN (KOR) KAO VOICED BY: YOSHORI FUJA (JP), KENICHI SUZUMURA (DRAMA CD), GREG AYR (EN) HIKA PORTRAYED BY: SHPEI TAKAGI (LIVE ACTN), YU FUTABA (MIL) KAO PORTRAYED BY: MANPEI TAKAGI (LIVE ACTN), KANAME FUTABA (MIL)A SET OF CUNNG AND MISCHIEVO TWS THE SAME CLASS AS HAHI. JOG THE HOST CLUB HELPED THEM OPEN UP TO OTHERS, AS THEY PREVLY BELIEVED THAT THEY ULD ONLY PEND ON ONE ANOTHER. ALLEGED LOOKALIK: A VERSN OF THIS. WHILE THEIR APPEARANC ARE CERTALY INTIL, BOTH THE JAPANE AND ENGLISH DUBS OF THE ANIME GAVE THEM VERY DIFFERENT VOIC, WHICH FOR SOME REASON NOBODY NOTIC WHEN TRYG TO TELL THEM APART (WHEN THEY TALK UNISON REALLY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL, BUT HEARG THEM TALK SEPARATELY SHOULD BE A AD GIVEAWAY). ALLERATIVE NAME: HIKA HACHI. AMBIGUOLY BI: BIS HATORI HAS REFERRED TO KAO AS BOTH A "HANDSOME HOMOSEXUAL" AND A "BETIFUL GAY", BUT SCE SHE ADD KAO'S TERT HAHI (MUCH LS SO THAN HIKA, BUT STILL THERE) 'S A REASONABLE ASSUMPTN TO MAKE THAT KAO WOULD BE NEHER GAY NOR STRAIGHT (BI/PAN/ETC). HOWEVER, THIS ULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF IF IT'S YOU, IT'S OKAY, WHERE HAHI WOULD BE HIS EXCEPTN TO HIS HOMOSEXUALY. THERE'S ALSO A NOTABLE SCENE WHERE HIKA ASKS WHY RENGE'S SCRIPT PORTRAYS KAO AS A "PCHER," OR A TOP GAY SEX, AND KAO SIMPLY AGRE THAT THE CLASSIFITN IS ACCURATE. ANIMAL MOTIFS: OFTEN PARED TO TS FOR THEIR MISCHIEVO OR AT TIM DIFFERENT NATURE. BROS BEFORE HO: KAO GIV UP ON HIS OWN FEELGS FOR HAHI, "BEE HIKA IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME", AND HE ALSO WANTS HIKA TO VELOP FURTHER AS A PERSON. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: BOTH OF THEM GO THROUGH QUE A B. CHHIRE CAT GRS: THEIR FLT EXPRSNS. HECK, THE ALICE WONRLAND PARODY THEY WERE THE ON WHO PLAYED THE CHHIRE CAT! CREEPY TWS: LAMPSHAD WH A SHOUT-OUT TO THE SHG. DEOSTG ICE KGS: AFTER MEETG TAMAKI THEY GAED IENDS BEYOND EACH OTHER; AFTER BEIENDG HAHI THEY EXPERIENCED ROMANTIC LOVE. THE DETERMATOR: HIKA BE THIS WHEN HE ENDS UP PETG WH TAMAKI FOR HAHI'S AFFECTN. EVEN AFTER ASKG HER OUT AND GETTG REJECTED, AND SPECTG SHE HAS FEELGS FOR TAMAKI, HE REF TO GIVE UP UNTIL SHE ACTUALLY STAT OUT LOUD THAT SHE DO. IT'S NOT UNTIL CHAPTER 78 THAT HAHI ADMS TO HIM THAT SHE ED LOV TAMAKI, THAT HIKA FALLY AND GRACEFULLY BACKS OUT. IT'S IMPLIED AT LEAST PART OF THIS IS TO FORCE TAMAKI TO A GREEN-EYED EPIPHANY, THOUGH DON'T QUE WORK UNTIL HE GETS REALLY HEAVY-HAND WH . DIVERGENT CHARACTER EVOLUTN: THEY START OFF ACTG LIKE SGLE-MD TWS, THOUGH HAHI IS STILL ABLE TO TELL THEM APART PERSONALY SCE HIKA TENDS TO BE MEANER. THE DIFFERENC THEIR PERSONALI BEG TO BEE MORE APPARENT AS TIME GO ON AND THEY GET MORE TIME APART, WH HIKA BEG MORE BSQUE AND IMPULSIVE AND KAO BEG LMER AND MORE MATURE. IN THE JAPANE DUB, THIS IS EVEN APPARENT WH THEIR VOIC OM THE BEGNG, WHERE KAO HAS A MORE SOFT AND GENTLE VOICE WHILE HIKA'S VOICE IS MORE "SHARP" AND CRISP. DYE HARD: IN-UNIVERSE. EPISO 5. IN THE MANGA, HIKA DY HIS HAIR PERMANENTLY DARK CHAPTER 53 AS A RULT OF THEIR DIVERGENT CHARACTER EVOLUTN. FAKE DEFECTOR: AFTER KAO'S MA BOTH OF THEIR FEELGS FOR HAHI CLEAR, HE YELLS AT HIKA FOR STILL BEG TOO NAIVE AND HE'LL NEVER LET HIM HAVE HAHI IF HE'D REALLY BE OKAY WH SHARG HER. THE FOLLOWG DAYS HE THEN PROCEEDS TO FLIRT WH HAHI ONT OF HIKA, TELLG HAHI NOT TO BOTHER WH HIM, ASKG HER ON A DATE AND SO FORTH. IT THEN TURNS OUT HE WAS TENTNALLY TRYG TO MAKE HIKA HATE HIM SO THAT HIKA WOULD "BREAK EE" OM HIM, FEELG HE WAS THE WAY FOR HIS HAPPS FOR THE WAY THEY WERE SO PENNT ON EACH OTHER. LUCKILY HOWEVER, HIKA SE THROUGH THIS AND EVENTUALLY NVC KAO HE'S WRONG, AND THEY WILL STILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER EVEN IF THEY START EMBRACG THEIR DIFFERENC MORE, AND FOR THE SAKE OF BEG DISTGUISHED, SIMPLY DYG THEIR HAIR WILL BE ENOUGH. FIERY REDHEAD: HIKA IS, BUT KAO IS BETTER AT KEEPG HIS FEELGS NTROL. DEFIED LATER ON WHEN HIKA DY HIS HAIR A DARKER SHA. FISHG EACH OTHER'S SENTENC: INVOKED TO PLAY UP THEIR TWNS; CTOMERS LOVE . THE GADFLY: POTG OUT HARSH SPOTS IS A JOY. THE GLOMP: THE TWS HAVE THEIR OWN VERSN OF , WHICH NSISTS OF SANDWICHG HAHI A FOUR-ARMED HUG WHICH HAHI SIMPLY PUTS UP WH, SPUTE THE HIGH-PRSURE EMOTN GIV HER. GREEN-EYED EPIPHANY: HIKA HAD BEEN VELOPG FEELGS FOR HAHI FOR QUE SOME TIME BUT KEPT MUM ABOUT THEM. HOWEVER, WHEN AN OLD SCHOOL MATE WHO WAS LOVE WH HAHI, ARAI SHOWS UP AND SPENDS SOME TIME WH HER, HIKA IMMEDIATELY BE VERY POSSSIVE OF HAHI, MAKG HIS FEELGS MUCH MORE NSPICUO. IN THE MANGA, HAHI AT SOME POT TALKS VERY FONDLY OF TAMAKI TO THE POT HIKA BE JEALO AND WALKS AWAY, FOLLOWED BY KAO. STILL BEG OBLIV TO WHY HE FEELS LIKE THAT HOWEVER, KAO TELLS HIM THAT 'S BEE HE'S LOVE WH HAHI. INTIL TW ID TAG: HIKA PARTS HIS BANGS TO HIS LEFT WHILE KAO PARTS HIS BANGS TO HIS RIGHT. EVEN THEN, THEY N STILL BE DIFFICULT TO TELL APART AND N VERY EASILY PULL A TW SWCH BY VERG THEIR HAIR WH HATS OR PARTG THEIR BANGS THE OPPOSE DIRECTN. IN THE MANGA, HIKA EVENTUALLY DY HIS HAIR, MAKG MUCH EASIER TO TELL HIM APART OM KAO AS WELL AS TO SIGNIFY THE TWS' DIVERGENT CHARACTER EVOLUTN. IT AMED ME: THEY OFTEN EXPLA THEIR ACTNS WH "WE WERE BORED". THEIR ACTNS WERE MUCH HARSHER BEFORE JOG THE HOST CLUB. IN THE MA STORY THEY'RE MERELY MISCHIEVO. HETEROSEXUAL LIFE-PARTNERS: DENSTCTED: THEIR BOND WAS SO CLOSE THEY ULDN'T FORM RELATNSHIPS WH ANYONE ELSE. THEN THEY JOED THE HOST CLUB. THE "HETEROSEXUAL" PART IS QUTN, TOO. HOPELS SUOR: SADLY, HIKA IS THIS FOR HAHI. HIM REALIZG HIS FEELGS FOR HER NOT LONG BEFORE SHE REALIZ HER FEELGS FOR TAMAKI. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT HERO!: THE KIDS REALLY LIKE THEIR "COMMONER" FFEE. I LOVE YOU BEE I CAN'T CONTROL YOU: INVOKED. HAHI IS THE ONLY ONE WHO ISN'T PHASED BY THEIR ANTICS AND WHO THEY N'T SEEM TO FOOL BY A TW SWCH. THIS IS WHAT PIQUED THEIR TERT THE FIRST PLACE AND THE MORE HAHI N TELL THEM APART AND SHGS OFF THEIR PRANKS, THE MORE THEY WANT HER TO THEMSELV. BEG THE SAME CLASS ONLY CREAS THE EFFECT THE MATTER. I WANT MY BELOVED TO BE HAPPY: BOTH TWS TOWARDS HAHI — THOUGH KAO'S SE, WAS MORE TOWARDS HIKA. INEFFECTUAL LONERS: UP UNTIL THEY JOED THE HOST CLUB THEY SRNED THE PANY OF OTHERS. JERK WH A HEART OF GOLD: THEY N BE DOWNRIGHT HARSH AT TIM, PARTICULARLY THE FLASHBACKS, STEMMG OM THEIR PAST SELF-ISOLATN AND NSCENDG OUTLOOK ON OTHER PEOPLE WHO ULDN'T TELL THEM APART (WHICH IS WHY HAHI TERTS THEM SO MUCH). HOWEVER, THEY'VE HAD PLENTY OF PET THE DOG MOMENTS TO UNTER THIS, PECIALLY HIKA. NOM MOM: "HACHI" IS THEIR MOTHER YUZUHA'S MAIN NAME; SHE DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHANGE AFTER SHE MARRIED THEIR FATHER, SCE HER NAME RRI MUCH HIGHER PRTIGE THAN HER HBAND'S DO. OBLIV TO LOVE: HIKA DIDN’T REALIZE HE WAS LOVE WH HAHI UNTIL KAO LLED HIM OUT ON . RED ONI, BLUE ONI: HIKA STARTS A LOT OF TROUBLE AND IS IMPULSIVE IF SEPARATED OM KAO, WHILE KAO IS THE LR BROTHER AND IS UALLY MORE LM AND LLECTED IF SEPARATED OM HIKA. ROMANTIC RUNNER-UP: BOTH OF THEM TOWARDS HAHI. SEME: HIKA PLAYS THE ROLE OF THE "DOMANT" THEIR HOST CLUB ACTS, THOUGH 'S PROBABLY A JOKE FOR THE CTOMERS. THIS TROPE AS WELL AS E ARE EVEN MENTNED BY NAME WHEN THEY PLA ABOUT RENGE'S MOVIE SWCHG THEIR UAL ROL. SHARED FAY QUIRKS: THEIR LOVE OF PLAYG WH PEOPLE'S MDS (AS WELL AS A TASTE FASHN AND MAKE-UP) OM THEIR MOTHER AND MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER. THEIR LTLE SISTER THE BON CHAPTERS IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THEM WHEN THEY WERE HER AGE. SHIPPER ON DECK: AFTER HE REALIS HIS FEELGS WEREN'T AS STRONG, KAO BE THIS FOR HIKA AND HAHI.SHONEN HAIR: MOSTLY THE ANIME.--> SIBLG TRIANGLE: HIKA AND KAO BOTH VELOP FEELGS FOR HAHI. KAO GIV UP ON HAHI BEE HE R ABOUT HIKA MORE THAN HIS FEELGS FOR HAHI AND STEPS DOWN, STEAD ROOTG FOR HIKA TO W HAHI. HOWEVER, AFTER REALIZG HAHI'S AND TAMAKI'S GROWG FEELGS FOR EACH OTHER, HIKA EVENTUALLY CIS TO STEP DOWN AS WELL. SIGNIFINT BIRTH DATE: THEY WERE BORN ON JUNE 9 (6/9), SHOWG THAT THEY'RE ALIKE, BUT DIFFERENT. IT'S EVEN MORE SIGNIFINT WHEN YOU REALIZE PEOPLE BORN ON THAT DAY ARE GEMI. SGLE-MD TWS: THEY START LIKE THIS. HAHI SAYS THAT SHE N TELL THEM APART BEE HIKA IS "1 LEVEL MEANER". EVENTUALLY THEY VELOP DIFFERG PERSONALI AS THE SERI GO ON, AND BY THE END OF THE SERI MOST OF THE HOST CLUB (OR AT THE VERY LEAST BOTH TAMAKI AND HAHI) N PRETTY RELIABLY TELL THEM APART EVEN WH THEIR HAIR DYED BACK THE SAME LOR.

IN EPISO 17, SHE N'T HELP BUT GIGGLE THAT KYOUYA SAYS "THE SAME THG TAMAKI-SENPAI WOULD HAVE SAID" (A NFED REMARK ABOUT MONER'S FOOD) SPE HIS EARLIER SISTENCE THAT THEY'RE NOTHG ALIKE.

SHE GETS MAD WHEN A SWIMSU IS PICKED FOR HER THAT HIS A FLAT CHT AND AFTER SHE REALIZ SHE LIK TAMAKI SHE LAMENTS HER BOYISH FACE AND FIGURE. ON THE PL SI, DO ALLOW HER TO MASQUERA AS A BOY WHOUT LIBERATE MEASUR LIKE BDGS. ALLERGIC TO LOVE: AFTER SHE REALIZ SHE IS LOVE WH TAMAKI, SHE ACTS LERALLY LOVICK. SHE GETS BETTER LATER. AMBIGUOLY BI: SHE STAT THAT SHE DON'T RE ABOUT GENRS AND BLH THE ANIME WHEN SHE ACCINTALLY KISS KANAKO, WHICH WOULD IMPLY THAT SHE'S OPEN TO A RELATNSHIP WH A GIRL.

EVENTUALLY SHE ENDS UP LOVG THEM AND EVEN STAYS WH THEM AFTER HER BT IS PAID. THROUGH THIS SHE GROWS MORE OUTGOG AND TERMED, AND ALSO LEARNS TO APPRECIATE TAMAKI, SEEG HIM FOR THE IMMENSELY KD PERSON HE IS UNTIL SHE FALLS FOR HIM. EVEN WH THIS REVELATN SHE GO THROUGH QUE A B; SHE IALLY EAKS OUT AND TRI HER BT TO NY , UNTIL SHE EVENTUALLY LMS DOWN, BUT CIS THAT SHE STILL "HAS SO MUCH TO LEARN" BEFORE SHE N TELL HIM, AND HIS HER FEELGS FOR A WHILE, RETURNG MORE OR LS TO HER OLD SELF. SHE IS MORE PRSURED TO NONT HER FEELGS AFTER SHARG AN ACCINTAL KISS WH HIM AND ACTIVELY HELPG HIM RNE WH HIS MOTHER AND SHE ULTIMATELY N'T KEEP ANYMORE AND NFS TO HIM. CHILDREN DO THE HOEWORK: BEE OF HER MOTHER'S ATH AND HER FATHER'S LONG WORK HOURS, HAHI DO MOST OF THE WORK AT HOME; CLEANG AND OKG FOR HER FATHER AND OTHERWISE TRYG TO TAKE RE OF HIM, EVEN TELLG HIM NOT TO OVERWORK HIMSELF FOR HER.

OVER TIME BE OBV THAT SHE ISN'T LD SO MUCH AS HYPER-FOCED ON MATAG HER ALL-IMPORTANT SCHOLARSHIP, WHICH SHE SE AS SENTIAL TO REALIZG HER DREAMS, AND UNWILLG TO BE DRAGGED OUT OF HER FORT ZONE. EVEN THE GIRLS WANT HER: AS A GIRL, SHE GOT NFSNS REGULARLY (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, DURG MIDDLE SCHOOL). AS A 'BOY' SHE GETS AS MANY OR MORE FANGIRLS THAN ANYONE THE HOST CLUB SHORT OF TAMAKI. THEY DON'T KNOW SHE'S A GIRL. FEAR OF THUNR: ONE OF THE FEW THGS HAHI IS GENUELY AAID OF.

GREEN-EYED EPIPHANY: IN THE ANIME, HAHI SEEMS TO REALIZE TAMAKI MEANS MORE TO HER THAN SHE THOUGHT WHEN SHE IS IMPLIED TO BE BOTHERED BY ÉCLAIR MOVG ON HIM AND THE SUBSEQUENT ARRANGED MARRIAGE PLOT. IN THE MANGA, HAHI GETS NFIRMED JEALO TOWARDS KANOYA, A TRANSFER STUNT CSHG ON TAMAKI AFTER HE SAV HER OM GETTG KICKED BY A HORSE. THOUGH 'S AVERTED AGA AS WHILE SHE ADMS TO HERSELF TO HAVE BEEN JEALO, HAHI HAD ALREADY FIGURED OUT HER FEELGS FOR TAMAKI BEFORE, WH HER JEALOY TOWARDS KANOYA ONLY SERVG TO REAFFIRM THOSE FEELGS.

THE KIRK: MORE LEVELHEAD THAN MOST OF THE CLUB MEMBERS, ABLE TO JUDGE SUATNS AND RPOND ACRDGLY. SHE ROUNDS OUT TAMAKI'S PASSN AND KYOUYA'S SHREWDNS. LADY LOOKS LIKE A DU: VERY EARLY ON, HAHI IS ASSUMED TO BE MALE BEE OF HER VERY UNFLATTERG APPEARANCE. LIKE PARENT, LIKE SPOE: IT'S NSTANTLY LAMPSHAD HOW SIAR TAMAKI IS TO HER FATHER (M THE FACT THAT HER FATHER IS A BISEXUAL PROFSNAL CROSSDRSER). THEY GET MARRIED AT THE END OF THE FAL BON CHAPTER.

HOWEVER AS TURNS OUT, THEY THOUGHT HAHI WAS A BOY WHO WAS JT FOND OF CROSS-DRSG, AND THAT THEY WERE SUPPORTG A "FORBIDN LOVE" BETWEEN "HIM" AND TAMAKI. NICE GIRL: SNARK ASI AT HER RICH IENDS CLUELSNS, SHE'S GENERALLY IENDLY, AND HER CHARMS AND KDNS MAKE HER VERY POPULAR AS A MEMBER OF THE HOST CLUB. NOT SO ABOVE IT ALL: HAHI'S DISPUTABLY THE STRAIGHT MAN OF THE HOST CLUB AND SHE ALMOST ALWAYS MANAG TO KEEP HER POSURE SPE ALL OF THE SANY SHE FAC ON A NORMAL DAY. HOWEVER, SHE WILL PLETELY LOSE IF ANY OF THE OTHER HOST CLUB MEMBERS TAKE HER PERSONAL BELONGGS WHOUT HER PERMISSN, WHETHER BE PHOTOS OF HER THAT SHE ALREADY OWNS OR EVEN SOMETHG AS SMALL AS A EE MECHANIL PENCIL. HAHI BE JT AS BLHG, STUTTERG AND NERVO AROUND THE GUY SHE LIK AS SHE WOULD PREVLY MOCK THE HOST CLUB CTOMERS OF BEHAVG (THOUGH SHE RPONDS TO THE EMOTNS A FAR MORE HORRIFIED MANNER). ULTIMATELY A ZIG-ZAGGED TROPED AS SHE MANAG TO RETURN TO HER OLD SELF AFTER GETTG OVER HER IAL LOVE-EPIPHANY FREAK OUT, THOUGH SHE STILL BE WEAK-KNEED AND FLTERED EVERY TIME TAMAKI FLIRTS WH HER. THOUGH FOR GOOD MEASURE, AS KYOUYA LETS HER ON, SO DO TAMAKI IF SHE EVER FLIRTS BACK. OBLIVLY BETIFUL: SHE DON'T SEEM TO REALIZE HOW HER LOOKS GA PEOPLE'S ATTENTN. OBLIV TO LOVE: PAFULLY OBLIV; SHE ISN'T AWARE OF HOW MUCH TAMAKI IS LOVE WH HER, AND THE PAST SHE PLETELY MISTERPRETED HER MIDDLE SCHOOL IEND ARAI'S LOVE NFSN. IT TAK HER A WHILE TO REALIZE THAT SHE HAS FEELGS FOR TAMAKI HERSELF. OFFICIAL COUPLE: FELL LOVE WH TAMAKI AND, ACRDG TO WORD OF GOD, ENDS UP MARRYG HIM. ONLY SANE WOMAN: REGULARLY SNARKS AT THE SILLY ANTICS OF THE CLUB BEFORE BEG DRAGGED ALONG. OPPOS ATTRACT: WH TAMAKI; SHE'S A LOW ENERGY SNARKER WHILE HE'S A HIGH ENERGY HAM.

PENNY AMONG DIAMONDS: A MONER WHO MANAG TO MAKE TO AN ELE PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR THE VERY RICH. PRECISN F-STRIKE: PLAYED FOR LGHS; SHE OCSNALLY REFERS TO HERSELF AS "ORE", WHICH ISN'T NECSARILY AS BAD AS THE F-WORD WOULD BE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, BUT TAMAKI TREATS AS SUCH, AND THE WORD IS ALMOST ALWAYS BLEEPED OUT WHEN SHE . PROTECTORATE: WHEN YOU E RIGHT DOWN TO , DON'T TOUCH HAHI. MS WH HER AND THE WHOLE HOST CLUB WILL BE AFTER YOUR BLOOD. THOSE BOYS LOVE HER, THEIR OWN WEIRD WAY, AND WILL TEAM UP TO SEND YOU TO NEXT WEEK. "BEWARE THE PHYSIL EXAM!" IS POSSIBLY THE BT ILLTRATN OF THIS; WHEN THEY MISTAKENLY THK SHE'S BEG ASSLTED, THEY LEAVE HER WOULD-BE ATTACKER PLEADG FOR HIS LIFE. SCHOLARSHIP STUNT: THE ONLY REASON SHE N AFFORD OURAN. SEXY MAN, INSTANT HAREM: SHE'S GOT THREE OF THE FOUR DOWN AND SHE DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF FAKG THE 'MAN' PART AS WELL. SEXY SANTA DRS: IT'S THE SI-STORY BON ART, BUT SHE STILL WEARS ONE◊. SHE CLEANS UP NICELY: EVERYONE -UNIVERSE AGRE THAT SHE LOOKS AMAZG FORMAL DRS, 'S JT THAT CLEANG UP IS SUCH A DRAG FOR HER BEE OF ALL OF THE TIME SHE HAS TO SPEND ON HOEKEEPG. IF WERE UP TO HER, SHE WOULD BE GOG AROUND SCHOOL HER FAMO WEAR EVERY DAY. SHIPPER ON DECK: IN A POST-ENDG BON CHAPTER, SHE IS THIS FOR MEI AND KASANODA. SGLE-TARGET SEXUALY: DO NOT SHOW AN OUNCE OF TERT ANY GUY OR EVEN ROMANCE GENERAL BEFORE SHE FALLS FOR TAMAKI. SGLE WOMAN SEEKS GOOD MAN: SHE MIGHT FD HIM ANNOYG FOR HIS GOOFS, BUT SHE EVENTUALLY REALIZ SHE FELL LOVE WH TAMAKI BEE OF HIS KDNS. SIXTH RANGER: THE NEWT MEMBER OF THE HOST CLUB, LONG AFTER THEIR FOUNDG. SLOTH: APART OM BEG SOMETHG OF A JERK OCSNALLY, THIS IS HER MA FLAW. THOUGH SHE'S CERTALY NOT LAZY AT SCHOOL OR AT HOME, SHE NEVER WANTS TO DO ANYTHG NEW OR EVEN SLIGHTLY TROUBLOME. JTIFIED THAT SHE DON'T WANT ANYTHG TO DISTRACT HER OM ACHIEVG HER GOALS AND SHE HAS TO WORK VERY HARD JT TO MATA THE LIFE SHE HAS. A CHANCE TO JT DO NOTHG FOR A CHANGE IS HER IA OF THE ULTIMATE LUXURY. THE SMURFETTE PRCIPLE: THE ONLY GIRL THE HOST CLUB. THE SNARK KNIGHT: "YOU RICH BASTARDS..." THE SOCIAL EXPERT: ZIG-ZAGGED. SHE N BE A LTLE NSE AND SENSIVE AT TIM, BUT HER ABILY TO SEE A PERSON'S TE FEELGS AND TENT IS ONE OF HAHI'S FG TRAS, BORRG ON LIVG LIE DETECTOR. SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO N TELL THE TWS APART BASED ON THEIR PERSONALI ALONE, AND HAS NO PROBLEMS SEEG THROUGH KYOUYA'S LD EXTERR. STRONG FAY REMBLANCE: SHE LOOKS A LOT LIKE HER LATE MOTHER, AND EVEN HAS A SIAR ALOOF, NO-NONSENSE PERSONALY. SUGAR-AND-ICE PERSONALY: WHILE SHE ISN'T EXACTLY LD, SHE IS UALLY TACHED AND LAZY BUT ALSO VERY RG TOWARDS HER IENDS. SUPPORTG PROTAGONIST: SHE'S THE VIEWPOT CHARACTER, BUT SHE'S DRAGGED ALONG BY BT TO THE HOST CLUB ACTIVI. SWEET POLLY OLIVER: NOT THAT SHE R IF ANYONE KNOWS SHE'S A GIRL OR NOT, BUT THE RT OF THE HOST CLUB PERSISTS MATAG THE CHARA ORR TO KEEP HER THE CLUB. TAREME EY: SHE'S STRONG WILLED BUT SHE HAS THE DOWNWARD POTG EY SIGN, POSSIBLY BEE 'S MORE A QUIET SLOTH THAN A AGGRSIVE THG. TOMBOY: LS OF A 'LIK TRADNAL BOY ACTIVI' THAN A 'DO NOT NFORM TO TRADNAL GIRL STEREOTYP'. TOMBOY AND GIRLY GIRL: THE TOMBOY TO RENGE'S GIRLY GIRL, MOSTLY BEE SHE ACTS LIKE A BOY AS PART OF THE CLUB'S SE BUT ALSO BEE SHE HAS NO UNRSTANDG OF MOE AND DON'T LIKE DRSG UP. TOMBOYISH NAME: SHE IS MISTAKEN BY MOST PEOPLE TO BE MALE PARTIALLY BEE "HAHI" IS AN UNISEX NAME. TOMBOY WH A GIRLY STREAK: SHE DRS LIKE A BOY AT SCHOOL AND DON'T RE IF PEOPLE MISTAKE HER FOR ONE. WHILE SHE DON'T MD DRSG UP FEME CLOTHG WHEN THE OCSN LLS FOR , HER EVERYDAY CLOTH ARE OBVLY CHOSEN PRIMARILY FOR PRACTILY. ON THE GIRLY SI HER HOBBI CLU OKG, CLEANG AND SEWG AND SHE HAS A BILATG FEAR OF THUNR. THE ANIME GAVE HER A DISTCTIVE DRS OVER JEANS WEEKEND OUTF TO UNRLE THE TWO SIS OF HER CHARACTER. TRAMARK FAVORE FOOD: OOTORO (FATTY TUNA, VERY EXPENSIVE AND FANCY). IT'S TURNED TO A RUNNG GAG. UNWANTED HAREM: TAMAKI, HIKA, KAO (SHOWN MORE SO THE MANGA), RENGE, KASANODA, AND HER MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSMATE ARAI ALL LIKE HAHI. SHE WAS EVEN NFSED TO BY HER OLD SCHOOLMAT AN AVERAGE OF ONCE PER MONTH PRR TO TRANSFERRG TO OURAN. NOT THAT HAHI NOTICED ANY OF THAT. WACKY PARENT, SER CHILD: WHILE SHE'S RELIABLE AND LEVEL-HEAD, HER FATHER IS A FLAMG TRANSVTE WH EMOTNAL ISSU. WHAT BETIFUL EY!: THE THG THAT MAK TAMAKI WANT HAHI FOR THE HOST CLUB IS WHEN HE TAK OFF HER GLASS AND SE HER EY. HE GETS HER NTACT LENS AT ONCE, WHICH MAKE HER EY STAND OUT EVEN MORE. WHOLOME CROSSDRSER: PLAYED STRAIGHT WH HAHI HERSELF, BUT ZIG-ZAGGED WH THE CLUB GUTS/FANGIRLS. AT FIRST, THEY VOKE THIS TROPE WHEN THEY REMARK THAT THEY'D LOVE TO SEE HOW HAHI WOULD LOOK DRSED AS A WOMAN, AND LATER, WHEN THEY CLAIM TO HAVE FIGURED OUT HAHI'S "SECRET", THEY AGREE THAT "HE" DOES LOOK GOOD AS A WOMAN. IT'S NOT UNTIL LATER THAT THEY REALIZE THAT HAHI IS, FACT, FEMALE, AND THAT THE "CLOSETED GAY BOY" THEY'VE BEEN CHAMPNG THIS WHOLE TIME WAS NOT. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SNAK?: HAHI ACTS SO REEE AND DIFFERENT ABOUT EVERYTHG THAT THE HOST CLUB SPENDS HALF AN EPISO TRYG TO FD SOMETHG SHE'S AAID OF, TO NO AVAIL. TAMAKI THEN CINTALLY FDS OUT AT THE END WHEN A STORM ROAMS BY THAT SHE'S TERRIFIED OF THUNR. WOMEN ARE WISER: SHE SEEMS LIKE THIS AS SHE IS MUCH MORE SENSIBLE THEN HER CLUBMAT, BUT 'S MORE LIKE COMMONERS ARE WISER AS THE CLUB'S CTOMERS ARE JT AS SILLY AS THEY ARE. BOTH LIVE AWE OF "MONER WISDOM." WORK OFF THE DEBT: THE ONLY REASON HAHI JOED THE CLUB THE FIRST PLACE IS TO PAY FOR THE PRICELS MG VASE SHE BROKE ON ACCINT. YOU DIDN'T ASK: HAHI NEVER ONCE CLAIMS TO BE A BOY OR NI THAT SHE'S A GIRL, SHE JT NEVER BOTHERS TO RRECT ANYONE'S ASSUMPTNS. SHE DIDN'T TELL THE HOST CLUB THAT SHE WAS A GIRL WHEN THEY FIRST MET BEE WASN'T RELEVANT TO THE NVERSATN. SHE POTS OUT THAT SHE NEVER SAID SHE WASN'T A GIRL, AND THEY'D ALL JT ASSUMED SHE WAS MALE OM HER HAIRSTYLE AND MANNER OF DRS. GIVEN HER PENCHANT FOR BTAL HONTY, HAHI'S OPEN "SECRET" ONLY GO UNDISVERED BEE NO ONE EVER BOTHERS TO ASK. GIVEN THAT THE SCHOOL ADMISTRATN FELY KNOWS SHE'S A GIRL, SHE'S APPARENTLY RELYG ON LOOPHOLE ABE (THAT A GIRL N'T WEAR THE BOY'S UNIFORM) STEAD OF ACTUAL CEPTN.    TAMAKI SUOH (RENè TAMAKI RICHARD GRANTAE) VOICED BY: MAMO MIYANO (JP), HIKA MIDORIKAWA (DRAMA CD), VIC MIGNOGNA (EN) PORTRAYED BY: YE YAMAMOTO (LIVE ACTN), JUN'YA KOMATSU (MIL)THE FOUNR AND PRINT OF THE HOST CLUB AND QUE THE CHARMER (EVEN THOUGH HE OFF AS A WELL-MEANG IDT HALF THE TIME). TAMAKI LIK TO THK OF HIMSELF AS THE "DADDY" OF THE HOST CLUB, AND THKS OF HAHI AS HIS "DGHTER", THOUGH HE EVENTUALLY TO REALIZE THAT HIS "FATHERLY" FEELGS TOWARDS HAHI ARE ACTUALLY ROMANTIC. ADAPTATN DYE-JOB: HAS DIRTY BLON HAIR THE MANGA. IN THE LIVE ACTN DRAMA, 'S MORE OF A PALE BROWN (HOWEVER, HE DO BEE A BLON THE MOVIE). ALLERGIC TO LOVE: HE ONCE FEELS AN URGE TO KISS HAHI WHICH MAK HIM GO TO BED SICK WH A LD, WONRG WHAT'S WRONG WH HIM FOR WANTG TO DO THAT. IRONILLY, THE SAME TROPE LATER GO FOR HAHI; SEE HER EXAMPLE. ALL-LOVG HERO: THIS GUY WILL HELP ANYBODY, ANYTIME. IT IS EXPLICLY THIS WHICH BROUGHT THE HOST CLUB TOGETHER THE FIRST PLACE, AND MAK THE OTHER CLUB MEMBERS HIGHLY LOYAL TO AND PROTECTIVE OF HIM. AMBIGUOLY BI: IN THE DRAMA, HE CLEARLY FALLS FOR HAHI THE MOMENT HE SE HER CLEANED UP NICE TO PLAY HOST, BUT AT THAT POT HE STILL THKS SHE'S A BOY. THE OTHERS DON'T SEEM TO MD AT ALL. ANIMAL MOTIFS: A DOG, FOR HIS ENERGIZED, LOVABLE AND LOYAL PERSONALY. ANGER BORN OF WORRY: HE SLDS HAHI FOR TRYG TO TAKE ON A GROUP OF BULLI BY HERSELF AND NEARLY GETTG KILLED THE PROCS. ONCE SHE TRI TO SPEAK FOR HERSELF, HE REF TO TALK TO HER UNTIL SHE ADMS SHE WAS WRONG. BASTARD ANGST: TAMAKI IS THE ILLEGIMATE SON OF A JAPANE MAN AND A FRENCH WOMAN. HIS EVIL MATRIARCH GRANDMOTHER BROUGHT HIM TO JAPAN EXCHANGE FOR PAYG FOR HIS MOTHER'S FANCIAL TROUBL AND FORBA HIM OM EVER HAVG NTACT WH HER AGA. HIS GRANDMOTHER STILL TREATS TAMAKI LIKE CRAP, ALWAYS REMDG HIM THAT HE'S "FILTHY." BEWARE THE NICE ON: IT'S PRETTY CHILLG AND SOMETIM DOWNRIGHT SRY TO SEE HIM ANGRY. HE WILL CHEW OUT AT ANYONE WHO PUTS HAHI'S LIFE DANGER (CLUDG THE OTHER HOST CLUBS MEMBERS AND EVEN HAHI HERSELF), AND GENERAL; DON'T MS WH ANY OF HIS HOST CLUB MEMBERS OR THEIR GUTS. YOU WILL BE SORRY. BISHIE SPARKLE: HE IS SO FLAMBOYANT A SPARKLY BACKGROUND HALF THE TIME. BUT NOT TOO FOREIGN: HE'S HALF-JAPANE AND HALF-FRENCH. CAMP STRAIGHT: HE'S EFFEMATE, RRI ROS EVERYWHERE, VOLUNTEERED TO WEAR A PIMPED OUT DRS AND YET HE ONLY HAS EY FOR HAHI. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: HE EVENTUALLY REALIZ HIS FEELGS FOR HAHI AND ALSO LEARNS THAT THE HOST CLUB BONDS ARE SO STRONG THAT THEY WON'T BREAK APART EVEN IF HE SHOULD PURSUE HER. LATER HAHI TEACH HIM TO QU HIDG HIS FEELGS (WHEN HE PRETENDS HE DON'T WANT TO SEE HIS MOTHER) AND THAT 'S MUCH BETTER FOR A FAY IF HE, HIS FATHER, AND HIS GRANDMOTHER WOULD JT BE HONT WH EACH OTHER. THE CHARMER: HE HAS HIS DAD'S TALENT AT SWEET-TALKG PEOPLE. CHICK MAG: HE'S THE CLUB'S KG FOR A REASON; 70 PERCENT OF THE CLUB'S CTOMERS CHOOSE HIM. CHIVALRO PERVERT: HE'S SURPRISGLY NSERVATIVE EVEN WHEN HE TRI TO GET WH HAHI. CLOUDCUCKOOLANR: THE WAY HIS MD GETS OM IA TO HYPOTHIS TO NCLN WOULD BAFFLE THE GREATT PSYCHOLOGIST. THE CUCKOOLANR WAS RIGHT: WHEN HAHI GETS KIDNAPPED, TAMAKI IS THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZ, BASED SOLELY ON THE FACT THAT SHE DROPPED A TOY RG HE GAVE HER ON THE GROUND. THE RT OF THE HOST CLUB LLS HIM AN IDT FOR JUMPG TO NCLNS SO QUICKLY UNTIL TAMAKI'S FAY LAWYER NNG SAYG THAT HAHI'S JT BEEN TAKEN AWAY AN UNMARKED R. CORNER OF WOE: COM WH S OWN MHROOMS! CRAZY JEALO GUY: CAN SOMETIM FALL TO THIS REGARDS TO HAHI TO THE POT WHERE HE EVEN GETS ANNOYED TOWARDS HIS OWN FATHER JT FOR TRYG TO IMPRS HER. HE'S MOSTLY HARMLS AND A LOVABLE IDT THOUGH. IN TERMS OF HIS GUTS, REALLY BOTHERS HIM WHEN OTHERS MEMBERS STEAL THEM OM HIM, EVEN IF HE WON'T ADM SOMETIM. HAHI: "OH... SO, HE’S UPSET BEE I TOOK HER OM HIM?" TAMAKI: "SHUT UP! I ULDN’T RE LS!" CROUCHG MORON, HIDN BADASS: HE N SHIFT OM "SIMPERG MORONIC FOP" TO "HOT-BLOOD FORCEFUL LEAR" STANTLY IF THE SUATN IS SUFFICIENTLY SER. HE'S ALSO MORE ATHLETIC THAN ONE WOULD THK, AND HE N PULL OFF A DAMN GOOD DYNAMIC ENTRY. DETERMATOR: PERHAPS THE FLAKIT AND FLIGHTIT CHARACTER TO EVER EARN THE DISTCTN, BUT TAMAKI ROLUTELY REF TO BE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN ANY OF THE PEOPLE HE R ABOUT. WHICH TO A BIG SHOCK TO HIS FATHER WHEN TAMAKI MAK QUE CLEAR HE WANTS GOOD RELATNSHIPS WH BOTH HIS MOM AND HIS EVIL MATRIARCH GRANDMOTHER, AND PUTS HIM AGONY WHEN HIS GRANDMOTHER FORBIDS HIM OM HAVG ANY NTACT WH HAHI. DTERAGONIST: HAHI IS THE MA CHARACTER, BUT TAMAKI SHAR ABOUT AS MUCH SCREENTIME AND NARRATIVE FOC AS HER (IF NOT MORE) AND DON'T HATE TO POT THIS OUT. DZY GENI: HE GETS EXCELLENT GRAS, HE'S AMAZGLY SIGHTFUL WHEN TO ANALYZG OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELGS AND MOTIVATNS... AND YET, STILL UNNIABLY AN IDT HERO. DRAMA QUEEN: HE ZIG-ZAGS THIS TROPE AS SHALLOW OR IMMEDIATE ISSU AT HAND WILL GREATLY UPSET HIM, MAKG SURE EVERYONE ELSE SE HIS PROBLEMS AS WELL. WHEN TO REAL, PSYCHOLOGIL ISSU REGARDG HIMSELF OR HIS FAY HOWEVER, HE WILL KEEP HIDN AND PRETEND LIKE, OR NVCE HIMSELF, THAT EVERYTHG'S FE. DUMB BLOND: HE ACTS LIKE A DZ, AND HAS MIMAL MON SENSE PARED TO THE OTHER HOSTS, BUT HE EFFORTLSLY GETS THE SEND BT GRAS THE SEND YEAR CLASS BEHD ONLY KYOYA. EVERYONE LOOKS SEXIER IF FRENCH: OR HIS SE HALF-FRENCH, BUT HE'S STILL THE HOST CLUB'S MOST POPULAR MEMBER. FIRST GUY WS: HE'S THE FIRST HOST CLUB MEMBER TO REACH OUT TO HAHI, WHILE SHE DON'T FAIARIZE HERSELF WH THE TWS UNTIL A WHILE LATER. FOR WANT OF A NAIL: NOT AN -STORY EXAMPLE, BUT WORD OF GOD HAS STATED THAT HE'S THE NAIL THAT PREVENTS A LOT OF MISERY PEOPL' LIV. SHOULD HE NOT BE PRENT, AND HAD NOT OPENED THE HOST CLUB, A LOT OF PEOPL' LIV WOULD BE MUCH WORSE. FRIEND TO ALL CHILDREN: IS QUICKLY POPULAR WH THE CHILDREN HE MEETS DUE TO HIS OWN CHILDISH, BUT ALSO LOVG AND DOTG PERSONALY. A PANEL AT THE VERY END REVEALS HE QUICKLY WON THE TWS' LTLE SISTER'S AFFECTNS (MUCH TO THE TWS' JEALOY), AND IS ALSO IMPLIED THAT HE AND HAHI BEME PARENTS QUE EARLY ON AS HE NO DOUBT WOULD LOVE TO BE A (REAL) FATHER. GENERATN XEROX: PLAYED WH. RANKA RELUCTANTLY ADMS THAT HE SE A B OF HIMSELF TAMAKI (TO THE POT WHERE TAMAKI SAYS A LE THAT RANKA SAID TO HAHI THEIR BACKSTORY, EXACTLY THE SAME DOWN TO THE LETTER AND GTUR). THAT SAID, PLAYED STRAIGHTER WHEN TAMAKI MARRI HAHI (AND BE RANKA'S SON THROUGH MARRIAGE). HAIR OF GOLD, HEART OF GOLD: HONT, CHIVALRO AND NOT ACTG WHEN HE CHARMS CTOMERS. HE ALSO HAS A GENERAL NAIVETY WHEN TO THE WORLD HAVG GROWN UP FAIRLY SHELTERED. HEROIC BASTARD: HE WAS BORN AS THE RULT OF AN AFFAIR BETWEEN HIS DAD AND A FRENCH WOMAN. HIS FATHER LATER DISSOLVED HIS FIRST MARRIAGE AND MARRIED HIS PARAMOUR. HE HAS ANGST ABOUT THIS BUT HE STILL TAK AFTER HIS FATHER MANY POSIVE WAYS. HEROIC BSOD: HAS A FEW. MOST OF EPISO 23'S PLOT, TAMAKI'S "UNWTG DEPRSN", REVOLV HIM LAMENTG ABOUT KASANODA KNOWG THAT HAHI IS A GIRL, AND REALIZG THAT HE'S NOT HAHI'S FATHER. OF URSE, 'S PLAYED FOR AN EXTENT. IN EPISO 25, ÉCLAIR MORE THAN MD CONTROLS HIM TO SHUTTG DOWN THE HOST CLUB, WHICH IS AID BY THE NOTN THAT HE AND THAT THE HOST CLUB ARE BEG BURNS TO THE OTHERS. HIS PRENCE HAS DIMISHED LIKE A SNUFFED OUT NDLE. PERHAPS NOT SURPRISGLY, HE HAS ONE AFTER REALIZG HIS FEELGS FOR HAHI (BEE HE'S AAID WHAT WILL DO TO THE HOST CLUB IF HE PURSU HER). IT TAK SOME WORK OM THEM TO MAKE HIM REALIZE THAT A ROMANTIC RELATNSHIP WH THE CLUB WON'T BREAK THEM APART. LASTLY, HE HAS A REALLY BAD ONE WHEN HE LEARNS THAT HIS FATHER WENT BEHD HIS GRANDMOTHER'S BACK AND HAD HER FIRED, AND SERV PART AS ONE OF THE MA DILEMMAS BEFORE THE FALE. HETEROSEXUAL LIFE-PARTNERS: WH KYOUYA; THEY STARTED THE CLUB TOGETHER AND HAVE THE CLOST RELATNSHIP OF THE HOSTS (SANS THAT OF HIKA AND KAO). HOLLYWOOD GEICS: INHERED LILAC EY AND BLON HAIR OM HIS MOTHER, WHEN REALISTILLY HE SHOULD HAVE BROWN EY AND HAIR LIKE HIS FATHER. IN THE MANGA, HOWEVER, HE ACTUALLY HAS DIRTY BLOND HAIR TO BALANCE THIS SOMEWHAT, WHILE THE ANIME CHOSE TO GIVE HIM PURE BLOND HAIR STEAD. IDT HERO: HE'LL HELP ANYONE BUT OFTEN BLUNRS .

I WANT MY BELOVED TO BE FASHNABLE: TAMAKI NSTANTLY ATTEMPTS TO GET HAHI TO PRETTY DRS. KEET: SUPER ENERGY AND CHEER. HE WAS PECIALLY HYPER MIDDLE SCHOOL, MUCH TO KYOYA'S ANNOYANCE. LADYKILLER LOVE: 70 PERCENT OF THE SCHOOL'S FEMALE STUNTS SWOON OVER HIM, BUT HE ONLY HAS EY FOR HAHI. LARGE HAM: ALL THAT POSG AND CHARMG AND LOUD CLARATNS? THEY'RE NOT ACTG.

MASCULE GIRL, FEME BOY: FEME BOY (ROS, EFFEMATE BEHAVR, ETC) TO HAHI'S MASCULE GIRL (BIFXNEN, STOIC, ETC). THE MCCOY: THE MOST PASSNATELY DRIVEN MEMBER OF THE CLUB, QUICK TO LET HIS EMOTNS GUI HIM AND THROW HIM TO ALL KDS OF TROUBLE. MEANGFUL NAME: IN CHAPTER 77, HE POTS THIS OUT TO HIS GRANDMOTHER, THAT HIS FATHER HAD CHOSEN HIS NAME WHICH MEANS "A CIRCLE OVERG EVERYTHG" OR MORE SPIFILLY "RG", NO DOUBT PLIMENTG HIS PERSONALY. MISSG MOM: TAMAKI'S EVIL MATRIARCH GRANDMOTHER SENT HER TO THE FRENCH UNTRYSI AND FORBA ANY KD OF NTACT BETWEEN THEM. MISTAKEN FOR GAY: HIS CLIENTS REALIZE THAT HE AND HAHI ARE TOGETHER AND ARE ACCEPTG OF , THKG THAT HAHI IS A GUY AND THAT THEY'RE HAVG A "FORBIDN RELATNSHIP" WH EACH OTHER. MIXED ANCTRY IS ATTRACTIVE: THIS IS PART OF TAMAKI'S BRAND APPEAL THE HOST CLUB AS HIS HALF-JAPANE, HALF-FRENCH HERAGE HAS GIVEN HIM THE BLON HAIR AND BLUE EY THAT IS SEEN BY OTHERS AS BEG PRCELY AND CHARMG. MOOD-SWGER: PART OF THE CLOUD CUCKOOLANR JUMPS OF LOGIC AND HIS GENERAL EMOTNAL EXTREM LEAD TO QUICK AND BAFFLG SHIFTS. MUNDANE OBJECT AMAZEMENT: SO, SO MUCH.

THE POLLYANNA: ESPECIALLY LATER CHAPTERS OF THE MANGA; THERE IS NO GETTG HIS SPIR DOWN. PRCELY YOUNG MAN: THE PRCE CHARMG TYPE WH SOME LIGHT SHAS OF REBEL PRCE; HE'S A MORN DAY (ILLEGIMATE) PRCE AND EFFORTLSLY CHARMS MANY LADI AND EVENTUALLY THE EVIL MATRIARCH GRANDMOTHER THAT HAT HIM. PROUD BETY: A RARE HEROIC VERSN. HE KNOWS QUE WELL HE'S THE MOST HANDSOME MAN ON THE OURAN AMY CAMP, AND HE REVELS , BUT BEYOND THAT HE'S ALSO A GENUELY KD AND IENDLY PERSON WHO, WHEN DOWN TO , WILL LIKE A PERSON MORE FOR WHO THEY ARE THAN HOW THEY LOOK. PURPLE IS POWERFUL: DO A CTRL+F SEARCH ON THIS PAGE AND YOU'LL FD PRCELY SCRIPTNS A DOZEN TIM. HE'S THE CLUB KG, AFTER ALL, AND HE HAS ROYAL PURPLE EY TO ADD TO HIS STATURE AS SUCH. THE TWS EVEN NICKNAME HIM "ORD." RED ONI, BLUE ONI: THE RED TO KYOUYA'S BLUE BEE HE IS SO PASSNATE AND EE WH HIS EMOTNS. THE REVEAL: IN CHAPTER 55 HE REVEALS HIS FULL (FRENCH) NAME TO BE RENè TAMAKI RICHARD GRANTAE.

HAHI HAS TO WIPE THEM AWAY.TENR TEARS--> TRAMARK FAVORE FOOD: HE NEVER TURNS DOWN THE CHANCE TO TRY "MONER FOOD." UNKNOWGLY LOVE: ALTHOUGH TAMAKI IS TYPILLY HIGHLY PERCEPTIVE OF THE FEELGS OF OTHERS, HE IS OBLIV TO HIS FEELGS TOWARDS HAHI, RATNALIZG HIS NSTANT FAWNG OVER HER AS AFFECTN FOR A SURROGATE DGHTER. IT TAK MULTIPLE PEOPLE QUTNG THIS LOGIC (AND OTHER PEOPLE EXPLICLY EXPRSG THEIR ROMANTIC TERT HAHI) FOR TAMAKI TO FALLY E TO TERMS WH HIS ROMANTIC FEELGS. UPPER-CLASS TW: HE N BE AMAZGLY NAIVE ABOUT THE WORLD. ALTHOUGH UNLIKE A LOT OF EXAMPL OF THIS, HE'S GENUELY PLEASANT AND LIKEABLE."WELL DONE, DAD!" GUY:-->    KYOUYA OOTORI VOICED BY: MASAYA MATSAZE (JP), JUN'ICHI SUWABE (DRAMA CD), J. MICHAEL TATUM (EN), YONGWOO SH (KOR) PORTRAYED BY: SHUNSE DAO (LIVE-ACTN), MASAMICHI SATONAKA (MIL)THE VICE-PRINT OF THE HOST CLUB, AND ONE OF TAMAKI'S CLOST IENDS. KYOUYA TENDS TO TAKE A MORE RPONSIBLE APPROACH TO THE CLUB'S ACTIVI, AND TRI TO MAKE SURE THAT TAMAKI AND THE OTHERS DON'T GO OVERBOARD. AMBIGUOLY BI: THE THOR HAS STATED THAT IF KYOUYA WERE TO MARRY A WOMAN, WOULD MOSTLY BE FOR HIS FAY'S BENEF AND NOT NECSARILY OUT OF ROMANTIC TERT AND EVEN J. MICHAEL TATUM HAS THROWN HIS LOT WH KYOUYA BEG BI AND TERTED BOTH TAMAKI AND HAHI. IT HELPS EXPLA THE PTHS OF HIS ANKLY BIZARRE IENDSHIP WH TAMAKI AS WELL AS THE LENGTHS HE GO TO ORR TO PROTECT AND HELP HIS IEND. AND WHILE THE ANIME, MORI AND HONEY ALSO DON'T EXPRS OVERT TERT WOMEN, KYOUYA'S RELATNSHIP WH HAHI (PARTICULARLY THE FAMO MER SCENE AND THE LAST TWO EPISOS) HAS ENOUGH VIB TO SUGGT A GENUE ATTRACTN AND AFFECTN. THE CHSMASTER: THIS IS WHY HE IS THE "SHADOW KG"; HE NTROLS EVERYTHG BEHD THE SCEN WH DISCRETE AND CUNNG MOV. CHSMASTER SIKICK: HE'S MORE THAN NTENT TO LET TAMAKI N THE HOST CLUB AND SERVE AS THE GROUP'S "ONT MAN." THE DREAD: HIS MANIPULATIVE AND CUNNG NATURE, UPLED WH THE FACT THAT HE'S RICH ENOUGH THAT HE ULD POTENTIALLY BUY AND SELL YOU FOR CROSSG HIM, MAK HIM THIS. EVEN HAHI IS SRED OF HIM SOMETIM. GIVEN THE LD, "EVIL BSMAN" ONT HE LIK TO PUT UP, APPEARS THAT HE LIK TO EXPLO THIS, BE FOR PERSONAL GA OR JT FOR FUN. DU LOOKS LIKE A LADY: DURG THE CROSSDRSG PA, HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO EVEN REMOTELY REMBL AN ACTUAL WOMAN◊. THOUGH THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BEE HIS FACE WASN'T SPLATTERED WH MAKE UP LIKE THOSE OF THE OTHER BOYS. ENRAGED BY IDCY: WHILE NORMALLY THE WORST HE'LL GET TERMS OF ANGER IS TRANQUIL FURY, IF PHED FAR ENOUGH BY SOMETHG HE SE AS STUPID, KYOYA ENDS UP GETTG VISIBLY PISSED, ENOUGH TO TERRIFY HAHI MORE THAN HIS NORMAL MEANOR. CASE POT, THE OTHERS, NAMELY TAMAKI, DRAGGG HIM OUT OF BED TO A PARTMENT STORE AND FETTG ABOUT HIM, AND THEN TAMAKI REPORTG HIM AS A "LOST CHILD" OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER WHILE A CROWD OF PEOPLE STARE AT HIM NFN. IT PISS HIM OFF TO THE POT HE CLAR HE'LL KILL TAMAKI FOR THIS. FETISHIZED ABER: HE ISN'T ONE, BUT HE CERTALY PLAYS THE IMAGE OF ONE TO THE HILT AS PART OF HIS HOST CLUB DUTI. APPARENTLY, SOME OF HIS CTOMERS LIKE TO FANTASIZE ABOUT HAVG A MEAN BOYIEND. FICTN 500: HE'S PENNTLY WEALTHY, BEG ABLE TO BUY HIS FAY'S FAILG PANY THE ANIME. FOUR EY, ZERO SOUL: SCE HE'S THE ONE MONORG HAHI'S BT, HIS GLASS ADD TO THIS IMAGE; "HE'S LIKE SOME EVIL TAX LLECTOR!" THOUGH THIS LSENS AS TIME GO ON. GUILE HERO: CUNNG, V; THE CHANCELLOR TO TAMAKI'S CHARISMATIC KG. HAREM NANNY: IT'S UP TO HIM TO HERD THE HOST CLUB, THOUGH HE DID HAVE A DAY THE LIMELIGHT WH HAHI. HETEROSEXUAL LIFE-PARTNERS: WH TAMAKI WHO IS HIS ONLY IEND STEAD OF 'BS ASSOCIATE'' (AT FIRST). HIDN HEART OF GOLD: Y, HE'S STGY, SNEAKY, AND PUTS UP THE AIR OF A HEARTLS KNOW--ALL, BUT HIS LOYALTY TO TAMAKI AND THE HOST CLUB IS UNWAVERG AND HE'D RISK HIS OWN REPUTATN TO HELP THEM. HYPER-COMPETENT SIKICK: TO TAMAKI. HE'S THE ONE MAKG THE HOST CLUB PRACTIL WHILE TAMAKI PLANS THE OUTRAGEO IAS AND THEM. IN-SERI NICKNAME: "SHADOW KG". I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT LAST ONE: IN THE MEDIL EXAM EPISO, TAMAKI DISMISS THE RT OF THE HOST CLUB AS "THE HOMOSEXUAL SUPPORTG ST" PARED TO HIS AND HAHI'S OFFICIAL COUPLE STAT ( HIS MD). LATER, KYOUYA TRICKS TAMAKI TO DISGUISG HIMSELF AS A MALE HAHI WHEN THEY DIDN'T NEED TO BOTHER WH ANY CEPTN BEE KYOUYA DISLIKED BEG NSIRED JT SUPPORTG ST, "HOMOSEXUAL OR OTHERWISE". THE LANCER: THE LD TACTICIAN TO TAMAKI'S IDT HERO. MISER ADVISOR: OF A MORE PROACTIVE VARIETY; HE'S THE ONLY REASON THE CLUB STILL HAS MONEY. NOT A MORNG PERSON: IT'S VERY HARD TO WAKE HIM UP. IN ONE OF HIS DAY--THE-LIMELIGHT EPISOS, TAMAKI AND THE RT OF THE HOST CLUB SCEND UPON KYOUYA THE MORNG, STUFF HIM TO HIS CLOTH, AND DRAG HIM ALL THE WAY OUT TO A SHOPPG MALL BEFORE HE FALLY AROUND TO NSCNS. NOT SO STOIC: EPISO 24 OF THE ANIME; THE MANGA, HIS BLOW UP AT TAMAKI'S FATHER. NUMBER TWO: IF TAMAKI IS THE KG THEN HE IS THE PRIME MISTER, OR EVIL CHANCELLOR. ODD FRIENDSHIP: WH KAO, OF ALL PEOPLE, LATER MANGA CHAPTERS. WHO WOULD PREDICT THE SHADOW KG AND A PRANKSTER GETTG ALONG SO WELL? PRCELY YOUNG MAN: THE ICE KG TYPE TO FURTHER NTRAST WH TAMAKI'S PRCE CHARMG. THE PROUD ELE: HE IS THE BRA BEHD THE HOST CLUB. HE ACTS AS THOUGH HE R ONLY ABOUT THE BOTTOM LE AND WHAT WILL BENEF HIMSELF, AS HE FEELS BEFS THE THIRD SON OF THE OOTORI FAY, BUT HE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE A WELL-HIDN ALTISTIC STREAK. PSYCHO SIKICK: A RELATIVELY D EXAMPLE GIVEN THE IALISTIC TONE OF THE SERI, BUT FELY EFFECT BETWEEN KYOUYA AND TAMAKI. TAMAKI, ALL-LOVG HERO, WANTS TO HELP EVERYONE AND SEEMS OBLIV TO ANY SIGNS THAT ANYONE MIGHT HAVE OUT FOR HIM; KYOUYA IS ENTIRELY OKAY WH GOG BEHD TAMAKI'S BACK TO PROTECT HIS TERTS AND MAKE VERY CLEAR THAT ANYONE WHO MS WH HIM WILL BE MA TO REGRET . THE NEWSPAPER CLUB EPISO PROVIS A PARTICULARLY VIVID EXAMPLE. RAVEN HAIR, IVORY SK: THE VISUAL AND HIS MEANOR MAKE HIM A LR BETY FOR CTOMERS THAN TAMAKI'S GOLN CHARM. THE RELIABLE ONE: KEEPS THE HOST CLUB NNG SMOOTHLY. RED ONI, BLUE ONI: THE BLUE TO TAMAKI'S RED BEE OF HIS LD AND LCULATG MEANOR. SARSTIC DEVOTEE: REGARDLS OF HIS DISDA FOR TAMAKI'S FOBBERY, HE GO ALONG WH . SRY SHY GLASS: COMPLETE WH THEIR OWN SRY BACKDROPS! THE SMART GUY: HE DO THE CLUB'S FANC. THE SNARK KNIGHT: NOT TO THE SAME EXTENT AS HAHI (BEE HE JOS THE ACTIVI SHE SNARKS AT) BUT HE HAS HIS MOMENTS. THE SOCIAL EXPERT: HE'S GOOD AT INTIFYG PEOPLE'S SIR AND HANDL. TAMAKI TRATED THE HELL OUT OF HIM UNTIL KYOUYA FALLY REALIZED HE SIRED NOTHG MORE THAN HIS IENDSHIP. SOULLS BEDROOM: PLAYED WH "AND SO KYOYA MET HIM". MIDDLE SCHOOL KYOYA IS PICTED WH A PRISTE ROOM, HIS CLOTHG SO WELL-PARTMENTALIZED THAT IF ANYONE ELSE TRI TO GO THROUGH HIS DRAWERS THEY NNOT PUT ANYTHG BACK. THIS ENDS UP BEG SYMBOLIC FOR KYOYA'S EMOTNS — THOUGH NEATLY PARTMENTALIZED SO HE DON'T MATE ON HIS LOWLY POSN AS THE THIRD SON OF THE OOTORI FAY, ONCE TAMAKI ENTERS HIS LIFE, BE HARR AND HARR]] FOR KYOYA TO KEEP HIS CLOTHG OR HIS EMOTNS NEATLY TUCKED AWAY. THE SPOCK: COLD, LCULATG BUT NOT ALWAYS. STOIC SPECTACL: ONCE AGA, HIS GLASS ADD TO THE NTRAST WH TAMAKI. TEAM DAD: ALTHOUGH TAMAKI LLS HIM THE "MOMMY" FIGURE (AS UNTERPART TO HIS OWN SELF-INTIFITN AS "DAD"), KYOUYA IS THE STERN DISCIPLARIAN LEAR FIGURE OPPOSE TAMAKI'S TEAM MOM. TOKEN EVIL TEAMMATE: KYOUYA IS NSIRED BY EVERYONE THE CLUB TO BE MORE OR LS EVIL, PECIALLY PARED TO EVERYONE ELSE. EVEN THE TWS ARE AAID OF HIM, BUT HE'S STILL MOSTLY A GOOD GUY. TSURIME EY: ANOTHER VISUAL NTRAST WH TAMAKI; THERE'S NOTHG SOFT ABOUT HIM. UNDYG LOYALTY: DPE WHAT HE MAY CLAIM TO THE NTRARY, 'S CLEAR THAT KYOYA IS LOYAL TO TAMAKI THROUGH AND THROUGH. UNKEMPT BETY: AS SHOWN EPISO 17, KYOUYA STILL LOOKS GOOD EVEN WHEN HE'S LERALLY DRAGGED OUT OF BED UMPY CLOTH AND BED HAIR. YOU DIDN'T ASK: DUE TO HIS BACKGROUND CHECKS ON EVERYONE THE SCHOOL, HE KNOWS ALMOST EVERYTHG ABOUT EVERYONE, CLUDG HAHI BEG A GIRL, KASUGAZAKI'S ARRANGED MARRIAGE, AND THE FACT THAT PRCS MICHELLE ISN'T ACTUALLY RICH AND PAMPERED. WHY DON'T HE REVEAL ANY OF THIS RMATN WHEN WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY RELEVANT? WELL... "WELL DONE, SON" GUY: AS THE THIRD SON TO HIS FAY'S LE OF WORK, HE'S PRSURED HIMSELF TO SURPASS HIS OLR BROTHERS' NSIRABLE ACHIEVEMENTS ORR TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF IMPRSG HIS FATHER AND EARNG THE RIGHT TO HER LEARSHIP OF THEIR PANY. IT'S WHEN TAMAKI ENTERS HIS LIFE THAT HE STARTS TO LOOSEN UP AND RE FOR OTHER PEOPLE FOR SOMETHG OTHER THAN BS BENEFS. IN THE ANIME THIS ULTIMATELY LEADS TO A MOMENT WHICH HE BUYS HIS DAD'S PANY (OR AT LEAST THE MAJORY STOCK) OM A PETOR WHO WAS BLACKMAILG HIS DAD WH . THEN HE GIV THE WHOLE THG RIGHT BACK TO HIS DAD LIKE 'S NOTHG AT ALL.    HIKA & KAO HACHI KAO (RIGHT) AND HIKA (LEFT). THERE'S REALLY ONLY ONE WAY TO TELL THEM APART. I'LL SHOW YOU LATER...HIKA VOICED BY: KENICHI SUZUMURA (JP), SOICHIRO HOSHI (DRAMA CD), TODD HABERKORN (EN), UM SANG-HYUN (KOR) KAO VOICED BY: YOSHORI FUJA (JP), KENICHI SUZUMURA (DRAMA CD), GREG AYR (EN) HIKA PORTRAYED BY: SHPEI TAKAGI (LIVE ACTN), YU FUTABA (MIL) KAO PORTRAYED BY: MANPEI TAKAGI (LIVE ACTN), KANAME FUTABA (MIL)A SET OF CUNNG AND MISCHIEVO TWS THE SAME CLASS AS HAHI. JOG THE HOST CLUB HELPED THEM OPEN UP TO OTHERS, AS THEY PREVLY BELIEVED THAT THEY ULD ONLY PEND ON ONE ANOTHER. ALLEGED LOOKALIK: A VERSN OF THIS. WHILE THEIR APPEARANC ARE CERTALY INTIL, BOTH THE JAPANE AND ENGLISH DUBS OF THE ANIME GAVE THEM VERY DIFFERENT VOIC, WHICH FOR SOME REASON NOBODY NOTIC WHEN TRYG TO TELL THEM APART (WHEN THEY TALK UNISON REALLY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL, BUT HEARG THEM TALK SEPARATELY SHOULD BE A AD GIVEAWAY). ALLERATIVE NAME: HIKA HACHI. AMBIGUOLY BI: BIS HATORI HAS REFERRED TO KAO AS BOTH A "HANDSOME HOMOSEXUAL" AND A "BETIFUL GAY", BUT SCE SHE ADD KAO'S TERT HAHI (MUCH LS SO THAN HIKA, BUT STILL THERE) 'S A REASONABLE ASSUMPTN TO MAKE THAT KAO WOULD BE NEHER GAY NOR STRAIGHT (BI/PAN/ETC). HOWEVER, THIS ULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF IF IT'S YOU, IT'S OKAY, WHERE HAHI WOULD BE HIS EXCEPTN TO HIS HOMOSEXUALY. THERE'S ALSO A NOTABLE SCENE WHERE HIKA ASKS WHY RENGE'S SCRIPT PORTRAYS KAO AS A "PCHER," OR A TOP GAY SEX, AND KAO SIMPLY AGRE THAT THE CLASSIFITN IS ACCURATE. ANIMAL MOTIFS: OFTEN PARED TO TS FOR THEIR MISCHIEVO OR AT TIM DIFFERENT NATURE. BROS BEFORE HO: KAO GIV UP ON HIS OWN FEELGS FOR HAHI, "BEE HIKA IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME", AND HE ALSO WANTS HIKA TO VELOP FURTHER AS A PERSON. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: BOTH OF THEM GO THROUGH QUE A B. CHHIRE CAT GRS: THEIR FLT EXPRSNS. HECK, THE ALICE WONRLAND PARODY THEY WERE THE ON WHO PLAYED THE CHHIRE CAT! CREEPY TWS: LAMPSHAD WH A SHOUT-OUT TO THE SHG. DEOSTG ICE KGS: AFTER MEETG TAMAKI THEY GAED IENDS BEYOND EACH OTHER; AFTER BEIENDG HAHI THEY EXPERIENCED ROMANTIC LOVE. THE DETERMATOR: HIKA BE THIS WHEN HE ENDS UP PETG WH TAMAKI FOR HAHI'S AFFECTN. EVEN AFTER ASKG HER OUT AND GETTG REJECTED, AND SPECTG SHE HAS FEELGS FOR TAMAKI, HE REF TO GIVE UP UNTIL SHE ACTUALLY STAT OUT LOUD THAT SHE DO. IT'S NOT UNTIL CHAPTER 78 THAT HAHI ADMS TO HIM THAT SHE ED LOV TAMAKI, THAT HIKA FALLY AND GRACEFULLY BACKS OUT. IT'S IMPLIED AT LEAST PART OF THIS IS TO FORCE TAMAKI TO A GREEN-EYED EPIPHANY, THOUGH DON'T QUE WORK UNTIL HE GETS REALLY HEAVY-HAND WH . DIVERGENT CHARACTER EVOLUTN: THEY START OFF ACTG LIKE SGLE-MD TWS, THOUGH HAHI IS STILL ABLE TO TELL THEM APART PERSONALY SCE HIKA TENDS TO BE MEANER. THE DIFFERENC THEIR PERSONALI BEG TO BEE MORE APPARENT AS TIME GO ON AND THEY GET MORE TIME APART, WH HIKA BEG MORE BSQUE AND IMPULSIVE AND KAO BEG LMER AND MORE MATURE. IN THE JAPANE DUB, THIS IS EVEN APPARENT WH THEIR VOIC OM THE BEGNG, WHERE KAO HAS A MORE SOFT AND GENTLE VOICE WHILE HIKA'S VOICE IS MORE "SHARP" AND CRISP. DYE HARD: IN-UNIVERSE. EPISO 5. IN THE MANGA, HIKA DY HIS HAIR PERMANENTLY DARK CHAPTER 53 AS A RULT OF THEIR DIVERGENT CHARACTER EVOLUTN. FAKE DEFECTOR: AFTER KAO'S MA BOTH OF THEIR FEELGS FOR HAHI CLEAR, HE YELLS AT HIKA FOR STILL BEG TOO NAIVE AND HE'LL NEVER LET HIM HAVE HAHI IF HE'D REALLY BE OKAY WH SHARG HER. THE FOLLOWG DAYS HE THEN PROCEEDS TO FLIRT WH HAHI ONT OF HIKA, TELLG HAHI NOT TO BOTHER WH HIM, ASKG HER ON A DATE AND SO FORTH. IT THEN TURNS OUT HE WAS TENTNALLY TRYG TO MAKE HIKA HATE HIM SO THAT HIKA WOULD "BREAK EE" OM HIM, FEELG HE WAS THE WAY FOR HIS HAPPS FOR THE WAY THEY WERE SO PENNT ON EACH OTHER. LUCKILY HOWEVER, HIKA SE THROUGH THIS AND EVENTUALLY NVC KAO HE'S WRONG, AND THEY WILL STILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER EVEN IF THEY START EMBRACG THEIR DIFFERENC MORE, AND FOR THE SAKE OF BEG DISTGUISHED, SIMPLY DYG THEIR HAIR WILL BE ENOUGH. FIERY REDHEAD: HIKA IS, BUT KAO IS BETTER AT KEEPG HIS FEELGS NTROL. DEFIED LATER ON WHEN HIKA DY HIS HAIR A DARKER SHA. FISHG EACH OTHER'S SENTENC: INVOKED TO PLAY UP THEIR TWNS; CTOMERS LOVE . THE GADFLY: POTG OUT HARSH SPOTS IS A JOY. THE GLOMP: THE TWS HAVE THEIR OWN VERSN OF , WHICH NSISTS OF SANDWICHG HAHI A FOUR-ARMED HUG WHICH HAHI SIMPLY PUTS UP WH, SPUTE THE HIGH-PRSURE EMOTN GIV HER. GREEN-EYED EPIPHANY: HIKA HAD BEEN VELOPG FEELGS FOR HAHI FOR QUE SOME TIME BUT KEPT MUM ABOUT THEM. HOWEVER, WHEN AN OLD SCHOOL MATE WHO WAS LOVE WH HAHI, ARAI SHOWS UP AND SPENDS SOME TIME WH HER, HIKA IMMEDIATELY BE VERY POSSSIVE OF HAHI, MAKG HIS FEELGS MUCH MORE NSPICUO. IN THE MANGA, HAHI AT SOME POT TALKS VERY FONDLY OF TAMAKI TO THE POT HIKA BE JEALO AND WALKS AWAY, FOLLOWED BY KAO. STILL BEG OBLIV TO WHY HE FEELS LIKE THAT HOWEVER, KAO TELLS HIM THAT 'S BEE HE'S LOVE WH HAHI. INTIL TW ID TAG: HIKA PARTS HIS BANGS TO HIS LEFT WHILE KAO PARTS HIS BANGS TO HIS RIGHT. EVEN THEN, THEY N STILL BE DIFFICULT TO TELL APART AND N VERY EASILY PULL A TW SWCH BY VERG THEIR HAIR WH HATS OR PARTG THEIR BANGS THE OPPOSE DIRECTN. IN THE MANGA, HIKA EVENTUALLY DY HIS HAIR, MAKG MUCH EASIER TO TELL HIM APART OM KAO AS WELL AS TO SIGNIFY THE TWS' DIVERGENT CHARACTER EVOLUTN. IT AMED ME: THEY OFTEN EXPLA THEIR ACTNS WH "WE WERE BORED". THEIR ACTNS WERE MUCH HARSHER BEFORE JOG THE HOST CLUB. IN THE MA STORY THEY'RE MERELY MISCHIEVO. HETEROSEXUAL LIFE-PARTNERS: DENSTCTED: THEIR BOND WAS SO CLOSE THEY ULDN'T FORM RELATNSHIPS WH ANYONE ELSE. THEN THEY JOED THE HOST CLUB. THE "HETEROSEXUAL" PART IS QUTN, TOO. HOPELS SUOR: SADLY, HIKA IS THIS FOR HAHI. HIM REALIZG HIS FEELGS FOR HER NOT LONG BEFORE SHE REALIZ HER FEELGS FOR TAMAKI. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT HERO!: THE KIDS REALLY LIKE THEIR "COMMONER" FFEE. I LOVE YOU BEE I CAN'T CONTROL YOU: INVOKED. HAHI IS THE ONLY ONE WHO ISN'T PHASED BY THEIR ANTICS AND WHO THEY N'T SEEM TO FOOL BY A TW SWCH. THIS IS WHAT PIQUED THEIR TERT THE FIRST PLACE AND THE MORE HAHI N TELL THEM APART AND SHGS OFF THEIR PRANKS, THE MORE THEY WANT HER TO THEMSELV. BEG THE SAME CLASS ONLY CREAS THE EFFECT THE MATTER. I WANT MY BELOVED TO BE HAPPY: BOTH TWS TOWARDS HAHI — THOUGH KAO'S SE, WAS MORE TOWARDS HIKA. INEFFECTUAL LONERS: UP UNTIL THEY JOED THE HOST CLUB THEY SRNED THE PANY OF OTHERS. JERK WH A HEART OF GOLD: THEY N BE DOWNRIGHT HARSH AT TIM, PARTICULARLY THE FLASHBACKS, STEMMG OM THEIR PAST SELF-ISOLATN AND NSCENDG OUTLOOK ON OTHER PEOPLE WHO ULDN'T TELL THEM APART (WHICH IS WHY HAHI TERTS THEM SO MUCH). HOWEVER, THEY'VE HAD PLENTY OF PET THE DOG MOMENTS TO UNTER THIS, PECIALLY HIKA. NOM MOM: "HACHI" IS THEIR MOTHER YUZUHA'S MAIN NAME; SHE DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHANGE AFTER SHE MARRIED THEIR FATHER, SCE HER NAME RRI MUCH HIGHER PRTIGE THAN HER HBAND'S DO. OBLIV TO LOVE: HIKA DIDN’T REALIZE HE WAS LOVE WH HAHI UNTIL KAO LLED HIM OUT ON . RED ONI, BLUE ONI: HIKA STARTS A LOT OF TROUBLE AND IS IMPULSIVE IF SEPARATED OM KAO, WHILE KAO IS THE LR BROTHER AND IS UALLY MORE LM AND LLECTED IF SEPARATED OM HIKA. ROMANTIC RUNNER-UP: BOTH OF THEM TOWARDS HAHI. SEME: HIKA PLAYS THE ROLE OF THE "DOMANT" THEIR HOST CLUB ACTS, THOUGH 'S PROBABLY A JOKE FOR THE CTOMERS. THIS TROPE AS WELL AS E ARE EVEN MENTNED BY NAME WHEN THEY PLA ABOUT RENGE'S MOVIE SWCHG THEIR UAL ROL. SHARED FAY QUIRKS: THEIR LOVE OF PLAYG WH PEOPLE'S MDS (AS WELL AS A TASTE FASHN AND MAKE-UP) OM THEIR MOTHER AND MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER.

SHIPPER ON DECK: AFTER HE REALIS HIS FEELGS WEREN'T AS STRONG, KAO BE THIS FOR HIKA AND HAHI.SHONEN HAIR: MOSTLY THE ANIME.--> SIBLG TRIANGLE: HIKA AND KAO BOTH VELOP FEELGS FOR HAHI. KAO GIV UP ON HAHI BEE HE R ABOUT HIKA MORE THAN HIS FEELGS FOR HAHI AND STEPS DOWN, STEAD ROOTG FOR HIKA TO W HAHI. HOWEVER, AFTER REALIZG HAHI'S AND TAMAKI'S GROWG FEELGS FOR EACH OTHER, HIKA EVENTUALLY CIS TO STEP DOWN AS WELL. SIGNIFINT BIRTH DATE: THEY WERE BORN ON JUNE 9 (6/9), SHOWG THAT THEY'RE ALIKE, BUT DIFFERENT. IT'S EVEN MORE SIGNIFINT WHEN YOU REALIZE PEOPLE BORN ON THAT DAY ARE GEMI. SGLE-MD TWS: THEY START LIKE THIS. HAHI SAYS THAT SHE N TELL THEM APART BEE HIKA IS "1 LEVEL MEANER". EVENTUALLY THEY VELOP DIFFERG PERSONALI AS THE SERI GO ON, AND BY THE END OF THE SERI MOST OF THE HOST CLUB (OR AT THE VERY LEAST BOTH TAMAKI AND HAHI) N PRETTY RELIABLY TELL THEM APART EVEN WH THEIR HAIR DYED BACK THE SAME LOR. SLASHER S: WHEN NOT CHHIRE CAT GRS, THEIR S UALLY TURN TO A BORRLE EXAMPLE OF THIS. SLEEPS THE NU: HIKA IS IMPLIED TO DO THIS, BUT ODDLY ENOUGH, KAO DO NOT. A THREOME IS HOT: EXPLOED. THIS IS WHAT THEY E TO ELIC SIRE THEIR FEMALE GUTS. THE TW THREOME FANTASY MAK EVEN BETTER. TRICKSTER TWS: FOND OF PRANKS AND TW SWCH. THEIR 'WHICH ONE IS HIKA GAME' WAS A HARSH WAY TO FORCE PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT THEY TREATED THE TWS AS TERCHANGABLE, AND THEY ONCE STAGED A FAIRLY BTAL FIGHT JT TO GET HAHI TO LET THEM E TO HER HOE. TSUNRE: HIKA IS A MALE EXAMPLE TOWARDS HAHI. HE'S A RATHER BSQUE AND PROUD BUT WHEN HE'S ALONE WH HAHI, HE'S UALLY MUCH MORE NSIRATE, EVEN TENR SOMETIM. TSURIME EY: CLU ON THEIR V, WTY, AND (MOSTLY HIKA'S SE) PRIFUL NATURE. TWCT: THE BOYS PLAY UP THEIR "BROTHERLY AFFECTN" FOR THEIR CLIENTS. IT'S AMBIGUO AS TO HOW MUCH OF IS AN ACT.

IT WAS LATER REVEALED THAT THEIR MOTHER HAD LONG SCE VELOPED THE ABILY TO DIFFERENTIATE THEM, BUT PRETEND TO BE CLUELS FOR THE FUN OF . IN THE LATER PARTS OF THE SERI, TAMAKI ALSO REVEALS HE'S BEEN ABLE TO TELL THEM APART "FOR A WHILE," EVEN WHOUT THEIR INTIL TW ID TAG. WHAT IS THIS FEELG?: HIKA STARTS GETTG UPSET AND JEALO REGARDG HAHI WHOUT KNOWG WHY AS THE STORY GO ON. IT'S NOT UNTIL KAO POTS OUT THE OBV THAT HE REALIZ HE LOV HER.    MSUNI "HANI (HONEY)" HANOZA VOICED BY: AYAKA SAOU (JP), IKUE OTANI (DRAMA CD), LUCI CHRISTIAN (EN) PORTRAYED BY: YUDAI CHIBA (LIVE ACTN), EO KONISHI (MIL)HONEY IS THE YOUNGT-LOOKG MEMBER OF THE HOST CLUB, YET ACTUALLY THE OLST ONE.
