Ouran High School Host Club/Characters

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

The Host Club as a Whole

 * 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 500: 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.

Haruhi Fujioka

 * Voiced by Maaya Sakamoto (Japanese), Aya Hisakawa (Drama CD), Caitlin Glass (English)

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.

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

 * Blue Oni: With him and Tamaki as the straightest example of this trope.
 * The Chessmaster: Well, he is the "Shadow King."

 * 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.

 * 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.

 * Kaoru is voiced by Yoshinori Fujita (Japanese), Kenichi Suzumura (Drama CD), Greg Ayres (English)

 * 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.)

 * Redheaded Hero/Evil Redhead: Since they're heroes, but antagonistic at the same time.

 * Deliberately Cute Child: He plays his child-like appearance to the hilt.
