Ouran High School Host Club/Characters

A list of characters from the Ouran High School Host Club manga and anime series.

Tropes applied to the entire club:

 * The Beautiful Elite: Their presence, understandably, turns quite a few heads in-universe.
 * Bishonen: Even the girl is one.
 * Costume Porn: Furthered by the fact that Hikaru and Kaoru's mom actually is a fashion designer.
 * Estrogen Brigade Bait: Kinda the entire point.
 * Chick Magnets
 * Fetish Fuel Station Club: Again, that's what it's made for.
 * Seven Man Band
 * Sharp Dressed Men Plus Girl: The Ouran high school boys' uniform is a rather stylish suit, and they wear other types of formal wear for special events.
 * True Companions: All of them grow really tight over the series, exemplified by both the anime and manga's finales.
 * Fiction Five Hundred: With the exception of Haruhi.
 * Kyouya Ootori is able to threaten others into submission by simply stating that he's able to eject someone from the country if they piss him off. That's not even including the insanely huge indoors beach that had a forest in it. He's also independently wealthy, being able to.

The main character of the series. A transfer student to Ouran High School who winds up working with the Host Club to help pay off her debt after accidentally breaking a really expensive vase. -
 * Animal Motifs: Often compared to a raccoon for her cute face and homely nature.
 * Attractive Bent Gender: See Sweet Polly Oliver.
 * Bad Bad Acting: In the anime, when helping the Zuka club with their play. There was no emoting involved whatsoever.
 * Averted when dealing with the club's customers, but maybe she doesn't think that's the same as acting on a stage. When she's a host, she's mostly just being herself.
 * Berserk Button: She is one. Mess with her and the whole Host Club will be after your blood.
 * Bifauxnen
 * Bob Haircut
 * Brainy Brunette: Scholarship student and more focused on studying than anyone else in the series.
 * Brutal Honesty: She doesn't mince her words.
 * The Chick/Sixth Ranger: The newest member and the only girl.
 * Clueless Person Magnet: When Arai asked her out on a date, she thought he meant apply to Ouran with her.
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Daddy's Girl
 * Deadpan Snarker: Usually around Tamaki (oh, say, 95% of the time?)
 * Defrosting Ice Queen/Kuudere: Haruhi may not have been a full-blown Ice Queen, but she initially cared little for the Host Club and solely cared about fulfilling her debt until she gradually befriended all the Host Club members and grew to love the Host Club.7
 * Dude Magnet: She becomes this after joining the club. As such most of the other hosts start harbouring feelings for her.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Do they ever!...Except they don't know she's a girl.
 * Fear of Thunder: One of the few things Haruhi is genuinely afraid of.
 * Friend to Bugs: Implied in episode 8 when she finds a centipede on a crab and, instead of killing it, she simply picks it up and throws it aside. When asked if she could have been easier on it, she said, "It takes a lot more than that to kill a bug."
 * Gender Blender Name
 * Generation Xerox: Looks and acts a lot like her deceased mother.
 * Hime Cut: Before she cut her hair short. Perhaps a inversion as she lacks every single trait normally associated with it.
 * Hot Chick In A Badass Boy School Uniform
 * Insistent Terminology: She always refers to Tamaki with the honorific of sempai,  despite him wanting her to call him daddy.
 * Like Parent, Like Spouse: It's constantly lampshaded how similar Tamaki is to her father (minus the fact that her father is a professional bisexual crossdresser).
 * Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Masculine Girl to Tamaki's Feminine Boy.
 * Meganekko: A rare Bifauxnen example, both at the very beginning and in later chapters.
 * Missing Mom: Hers has been dead for several years.
 * Non Singing Voice: Revealed in episode 19, she doesn't even get an Image Song! Ironically, both her seiyuu and English voice actress are known for their singing abilities.
 * Oblivious to Love: Painfully oblivious
 * Pettanko: Pointed out by the twins in case anyone failed to notice.
 * A Cup Angst / Petite Pride: Both averted. She doesn't care either way
 * Precision F-Strike: She says "ore" twice early on.
 * Scholarship Student
 * Sexy Man Instant Harem: Well, she's got three of the four down. Does a pretty good job of faking the 'man' part as well.
 * She Cleans Up Nicely: It's just that cleaning up is such a drag for her. If it were up to her, she would be going around school in her infamous Haruhi Potter wear every day.
 * Single Woman Seeks Good Man
 * Sloth: Apart from being something of a jerk occasionally, this is her main flaw. She never wants to do anything new or even slightly troublesome.
 * The Snark Knight: "You rich bastards..."
 * Sweet Polly Oliver: Not that she cares if anyone knows she's a girl or not, but the rest of the Host Club persists in maintaining the charade in order to keep her in the club.
 * Tareme Eyes: Strong willed but possibly because its more a quiet sloth than a aggressive thing.
 * Tomboy: Less of a 'likes traditionally boy activities' than a 'doesn't care about traditional girl activities'
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Ootoro (fatty tuna, very expensive and fancy). It's turned into a Running Gag.
 * Unwanted Harem: Tamaki, Hikaru, Kaoru (shown more so in the manga), Renge, Kasanoda, and her middle school classmate Arai all like Haruhi. She was even confessed to by her old schoolmates an average of once per month prior to transferring to Ouran. Not that Haruhi noticed any of that.
 * Women Are Wiser: She seems like this as she is much more sensible then her clubmates, but its more like 'commoners are wiser' as the club's customers are just as silly as they are. Both live in awe of "commoner wisdom."
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: Played straight with Haruhi herself, but zig-zagged with the club guests/fangirls. At first, they invoke this trope when they remark that they'd love to see how Haruhi would look dressed as a woman, and later, when they claim to have figured out Haruhi's "secret", they agree that "he" actually DOES look good as a woman. It's not until later that they actually realize that Haruhi is, in fact, female, and that the "closeted gay boy" they've been championing this whole time was not.
 * Work Off the Debt: The only reason Haruhi joined the club in the first place.
 * Work Off the Debt: The only reason Haruhi joined the club in the first place.

The president of the Host Club and quite the charmer (even though he comes off as a well-meaning idiot half the time). Tamaki likes to think of himself as the "daddy" of the Host Club, and thinks of Haruhi as his "daughter". -

 * Cloudcuckoolander: The way his mind gets from idea to hypothesis to conclusion would baffle the greatest psychologist.

The vice-president of the Host Club, and one of Tamaki's closest friends. Kyouya tends to take a more responsible approach to the club's activities, and tries to make sure that Tamaki and the others don't go overboard.


 * Blue Oni: With him and Tamaki as the straightest example of this trope.
 * The Chessmaster: Well, he is the "Shadow King."
 * Four Eyes Zero Soul: Though this lessens as time goes on, if it was ever really part of his character to begin with. "He's like some evil tax collector!"
 * Gray Eyes
 * Guile Hero
 * Harem Nanny: Its up to him to herd the host club, though he did have a day in the limelight with Haruhi.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Tamaki.
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: Yes, he's stingy, sneaky, and puts up the air of a heartless know-it-all, but his loyalty to Tamaki and the host club is unwavering and he'd risk his own repuation to help them.
 * In-Series Nickname: "Shadow King."
 * The Lancer: To Tamaki's Idiot Hero.
 * Megane
 * Miser Advisor: Of a more proactive variety; he's the only reason the club still has money.

 * Not So Stoic: Episode 24 of the anime; in the manga,
 * Obviously Evil: Let's see, a bespectacled, cold and calculating man who doesn't actually do any hosting? And he's a black haired chessmaster? Makes you wonder when he's going to turn evil.
 * He has done some hosting in the background, especially in the anime during the club's theme days. Apparently he's the "cool type."
 * Odd Friendship: With Kaoru, of all people, in later manga chapters.
 * Princely Young Man: The Ice King type with a bit of the Yamato Nadeshiko type.
 * The Proud Elite: He is the brain behind the Host Club. He acts as though he cares only about the bottom line and what will benefit himself, as he feels befits the third son of the Ootori family, but he has been shown to have a well-hidden altruistic streak.
 * Sarcastic Devotee
 * The Smart Guy
 * The Spock
 * Stoic Spectacles
 * Scary Shiny Glasses: Complete with their own scary backdrops!

 * "Well Done, Son" Guy: As the third son to his family's line of work, he's pressured himself to surpass his father's expectations while knowing that such a thing was almost dauntingly impossible. It's when Tamaki enters his life that he starts to loosen up and care for other people for something other than business benefits.
 * Finally stops this in a Crowning Moment of Awesome where

Kaoru is voiced by: Yoshinori Fujita (JP), Kenichi Suzumura (Drama CD), Greg Ayres (EN)
A set of cunning and mischievous twins in the same class as Haruhi. Joining the Host Club helped them open up to others, as they previously believed that they could only depend on one another. -


 * Alliterative Name: Hikaru.
 * Bros Before Hoes:
 * Character Development: Both of them go through quite a bit.
 * Creepy Twins: Lampshaded with a Shout Out to The Shining.
 * Defrosting Ice Lords: After meeting Tamaki and even moreso after befriending Haruhi.
 * Dye Hard: Episode 5.
 * Eyes of Gold: Emphasizing their trickster nature.

 * Fiery Redhead: Hikaru is, but Kaoru is better at keeping his feelings in control.
 * Finishing Each Other's Sentences
 * It Amused Us: They often explain their actions with "we were bored". Their actions were much harsher before joining the Host Club. In the main story they're merely mischievous.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners
 * I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!: Those kids really like their "Commoner" coffee.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy:
 * Ineffectual Loners: Up until they joined the Host Club.
 * Jerkass: They can be downright harsh at times, particulary in the flashbacks, stemmming from their past self-isolation and condescending outlook on other people who couldn't tell them apart (which is why Haruhi interests them so much). However, they've had plenty of Pet the Dog moments to counter this, especially Hikaru.
 * Lamarck Was Right: Their love of playing with people's minds (as well as a taste in fashion and make-up) comes from their mother and maternal grandmother.
 * The Lancer/The Smart Guy
 * Name's the Same: Isn't there another Kaoru that was voiced by Greg Ayres in a different anime? (Although it's spelled Kaworu, it's pronounced the same.)
 * Also the names of very different twin girls who fight demons and vampires in Moon Phase.
 * Redheaded Hero/Evil Redhead: Since they're heroes, but antagonistic at the same time.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Hikaru starts a lot of troubles and is easily impulsive if separated from Kaoru, while Kaoru is the colder brother and is usually more calm and collected if separated from Hikaru.
 * Romantic Runner Up:.
 * Screwy Squirrel: Nothing satisfies them more then messing with people's heads.
 * Seme: Hikaru, though it was probably a joke.
 * Shonen Hair: Mostly in the anime.
 * Single-Minded Twins: They eventually start like this, but develop differing personalities as the series goes on.
 * Trickster Archetype
 * Trickster Twins
 * Tsurime Eyes: Clues in on their devious, witty, and (mostly in Hikaru's case) prideful nature.
 * Twincest: The boys play up their "brotherly affection" for their clients. It's ambiguous as to how much of it is an act.
 * Twin Switch: Haruhi is the only person who can tell who is who, even when they are extra cunning.
 * Trolls: To... everyone, really. Sometimes even themselves.
 * Uke: Kaoru, by process of elimination.
 * Trolls: To... everyone, really. Sometimes even themselves.

 * Berserk Button: Don't mess with Mori, Haruhi, or his stuffed bunny Usa-chan, and do not take his sweets away.

 * Big Eater: He eats three whole cakes every night for dessert.
 * Brown Eyes
 * Creepy Child: How his brother thought of him.
 * Cross Dressing Voices
 * Cute Bruiser: Looks can be so, so deceiving.

 * Deliberately Cute Child: He plays his child-like appearance to the hilt.
 * Everythings Better With Bunnies: He carries around a pink stuffed bunny with him almost all the time. In fact, he's also frequently compared to Fruits Basket's Momiji Sohma, the "rabbit" of the zodiac (they also have the same seiyuu).
 * He can actually make bunny shuriken.
 * Expy: As if the entry above didn't give you a clue.
 * Hair of Gold: As proven by Renge, he has no 'angst side'. He really is that cute; inside and out.

 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red, red, red. What's with these pairs and their conflicting personalities?
 * Sibling Yin-Yang: With his younger brother Chika.
 * Spoiled Sweet
 * Sweet Tooth: Both his first and last name make reference to this.

 * Tareme Eyes
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Cake. He values it.

Mori is tall and intimidating, but very soft-spoken. As his family is sworn to protect the Haninozuka family, Mori shares a very special kinship with Honey and his friends. -

 * The Big Guy: Biggest, strongest, etc.
 * Big Brother Instinct: To Honey, who ironically is his older cousin.
 * He also has shades of this with Haruhi, almost from the very first time they meet - in the first episode of the anime, she calls out to him for help and he runs to her aid without a second thought.
 * Big Brother Mentor: To Honey again. While normally very supportive, he's the one to tell Honey when he can't do something, and is the only one who can really stop him. In the manga, he occasionally acts as one to Hikaru as well.
 * Brown Eyes
 * The Comically Serious
 * First-Name Basis: Mori calls Honey by his first name, and vice versa (they're the only ones who do this).

 * Kuudere
 * Legacy of Service: Mori comes from a family with a long line of serving the Haninozuka clan. The master-servant bond was dispelled when the families were joined by marriage, but Mori still watches over and protects Honey like a big brother would.

 * The Quiet One: Mori does occasionally speak, but it's usually in short sentences.
