Name: Haruhi Fujioka 1st Year High School Actually a girl, but cross-dresses to work as a host. Only the Host Club members know she is a girl. She has an androgynous look; she's a handsome boy in drag and a beautiful girl in female clothing. Short brown hair, 155cm tall, with large eyes. She has a calm personality and rarely relies on others. A lethargic heroine, she finds things bothersome and is somewhat blunt. Generally uninterested in most things. Uses polite speech with upperclassmen. Popular in the Host Club as the "Natural Type." First person: I (Jibun/Watashi).

Name: Tamaki Suoh 2nd Year High School Blond hair, blue eyes, half-French and incredibly handsome. President of the Host Club. Boasts a 70% request rate, yet is treated lightly by the other members. The butt of the joke. Appears childish at first glance but is surprisingly composed and kind. Usually plays the idiot, somewhat narcissistic, and self-proclaimed "Father" to Haruhi (though she doesn't agree). In charge of the "Princely Type." First person: I (Ore).

Name: Hikaru Hitachiin 1st Year High School, same class as Haruhi. Light reddish-brown hair and yellow eyes, handsome. 178cm tall. The older of the Hitachiin brothers; indistinguishable from his brother. Part of the "Little Devil Type," he pranks others along with his brother Kaoru. Often takes jokes too far. Sharp-tongued because he says exactly what's on his mind. A bit more immature than Kaoru, and struggles to put his feelings into words. Skilled at makeup and hair styling. Has great taste. Favorite subject: Art. Calls Tamaki "Boss" (Tono). First person: I (Boku).

Name: Kaoru Hitachiin 1st Year High School, same class as Haruhi. Looks identical to Hikaru. Indistinguishable. Joins in on pranks in perfect harmony with his brother. Calmer than Hikaru, and speaks with a softer tone when talking individually. Often plays the "submissive" role to Hikaru's "dominant" role for BL-themed fanservice. Calls Tamaki "Boss" (Tono). Skilled at makeup and hair styling, has great taste. Favorite subject: Art. Like Hikaru, he is the "Little Devil Type." First person: I (Boku).

Name: Kyoya Ootori 2nd Year High School Black hair and glasses, handsome. 181cm tall. Vice-president of the Host Club, but he is the "Shadow King" who actually manages everything.
