List of Ouran High School Host Club characters

Renge Houshakuji (宝積寺 れんげ, Hōshakuji Renge) is the Host Club's self-proclaimed manager who tends to be incredibly loud and outspoken. She lives in France before attending Ouran and comes to the Host Club stating that she is Kyoya's fiancée despite never meeting him in person. Her fascination with Kyoya originates from her obsession with a dating-sim game whose lead character, Ichigo Miyabi, resembles Kyoya. Tamaki initially hopes Renge will become a feminizing influence on Haruhi but regrets his choice when Renge develops a crush on her, believing Haruhi to be a boy. Renge's expertise with dating sims makes her keenly aware of the tropes and conventions of shojou manga, which Tamaki eventually sees as useful to the Host Club; ergo, he makes her self-proclamation as their manager a genuine position. As such, Renge proves her worth on several occasions with her ability to predict what will win the most significant approval of the Host Club's customers based on her extensive knowledge on subjects connected to the concept of moe. Kyoya compliments her on several occasions, and she is shown to be savvy in media production and broadcasting.

Renge is also shown to have talents outside of the Host Club: in the anime, she is shown hosting a sentai show for school children, and she is involved in producing the Moe Moe Ouran Journal (萌え萌え桜蘭日記, Moe Moe Ōran Nikki), a school magazine containing all things related to moe at Ouran Academy. Her catchphrase, "I could eat three bowls of rice," is a reference to the anime Green Green. In the manga, Renge mostly disappears after her initial appearance in chapter 3, making only cameo appearances in subsequent chapters. Hatori mentioned that Renge was going to be a recurring character. Still, it never happened. Her comment probably led to Renge's numerous anime appearances in situations that initially included Tamaki in the manga, like the coaching of Shiro and Nekozawa. In volume 9, Renge significantly increased her appearances, and she appears in the later chapters to help the club. In the July 2011 special chapter, she is seen as a first-year business student at Ouran University, speculating on Mei's and Kasanoda's possible romantic relationship in dramatic terms.

A trait that Renge displays in both the anime and manga is that, when she becomes furious, she assumes a Medusa-like look, with her hair transforming into snakes. At such times, she can drive most of the other characters before her to blind panic. Her primary running gag in the anime is her dramatic entrance, in which she rises from beneath the floor on a motorized rig (which has miraculously been installed wherever the host club happens to be), accompanied by dramatic music from "Swan Lake." She is presented as an undersocialized otaku.^[18]

Umehito Nekozawa (猫澤 梅人, Nekozawa Umehito) is depicted as a hooded individual who holds a cat puppet named Belzeneff (also spelled Beelzenef or Bereznoff). Umehito has photophobia, which causes him to collapse and, according to him, die when under any kind of direct light; he tends to refer to anyone who drags him into lights as "murderers." As the Black Magic Club's President, he tries to get people to join his club, though not too successfully. Anyone who enters receives a free Belzeneff doll. Besides his puppet, Umehito also has a wooden voodoo doll version of it. Nekozawa claims that if the name of a hated person is written on the back of the doll, that person will be showered with misfortunes. Tamaki, especially, is superstitious about Nekozawa's curses, having "experienced" them first-hand. In the anime, Umehito usually speaks to the host club through an ornate, candlelit black door, which seems only to be present when Umehito is.

أوميهيتو وسيمٌ للغاية تحت غطائه. عيناه زرقاوان لامعتان، ويرتدي شعرًا مستعارًا أسود - أخضر داكن في الأنمي - فوق شعره الأشقر الطبيعي ليحميه من الضوء. لديه أخت صغرى تُدعى كيريمي، تخاف من الظلام وتظن أنه وحش بسبب ملابسه الداكنة. ونتيجةً لذلك، لا يستطيع الشقيقان التواجد معًا حتى يتدخل تاماكي ونادي الضيافة، ويحثّون أوميهيتو على التأقلم مع الضوء وإظهار جانبه البطولي النبيل. في النهاية، حب أوميهيتو لأخته الصغيرة ورغبته في حمايتها هما ما يجعله محبوبًا لديها، إذ يتحدى ضوء النهار لإنقاذ كيريمي. ينهار فور تعرضه لأشعة الشمس، لكن كيريمي تجد له مكانًا في قلبها لشجاعته في مواجهة ما يكرهه بشدة لحمايتها. في نهاية المجلد الثامن من المانغا، يظهر أن كيريمي قد تحولت إلى مهووسة بالظلام، تكاد تكون نسخةً منه. كلاهما يرتديان عباءات داكنة ويخفيان ملامحهما، لكن كيريمي يحمل قطة ضخمة محشوة بدلاً من دمية بيلزينيف. ورغم محاولات نادي الضيافة مساعدته على مواجهة الشمس، إلا أنه لا يزال مهووسًا بشغفه بالخوارق. في حلقة الهالوين، يظهر أمام تاماكي من تابوت ويعرض خدماته لإخافة الطلاب.

في المجلد الثالث من المانغا، يقيم أعضاء نادي الضيافة على شاطئ أوميهيتو الخاص وفي قصره، وليس في منزل كيويا. مع ذلك، لم يحضر أوميهيتو العشاء لأن هاروهي أضاءت الأنوار فجأةً وصعقته. كما رأى أعضاء النادي - موري، وهاني، والتوأمان، وهاروهي - أوميهيتو لأول مرة بدون عباءته وشعره المستعار عندما خرج ليرى ما الخطب بعد أن أُخذت هاروهي إلى الحمام. من غير الواضح ما إذا كان قد أدرك أن هاروهي فتاة. من المحتمل أنه كان يعلم سرها ولا يكترث، إذ قضت العطلة بأكملها مرتديةً فستانًا بدلًا من ملابسها الصبيانية المعتادة.

في الإضافات الخاصة بالمجلد 18، يظهر كطالب جامعي يعانق كيريمي، وهي طالبة في المرحلة الابتدائية؛ تحاول كيريمي وضع شعره المستعار على رأسه، وقد لاحظ هاتوري أنهما ما زالا على وفاق تام. كما يظهر لفترة وجيزة في الفصل الخاص الصادر في أغسطس 2011، وهو يُرعب تاماكي بقصص مخيفة.

تعود أصول عائلة نيكوزاوا إلى سلالة توكاريف في روسيا ، مما يشير إلى أن عائلة نيكوزاوا قد تعمل مع شركات تصنيع الأسلحة (يظهر سلاح ناري في المانجا، وكرمز في الأنمي).

Ritsu Kasanoda (笠野田 律, Kasanoda Ritsu) is the successor to the third generation master of the Kasanoda family, the most powerful yakuza group in Kantō, Japan. Since Kasanoda's features have been intimidating since birth, his father claims he has the right face to become the most frightening yakuza boss in history and raises him to be the next leader. He is trained to appear harsh and unapproachable, so most see him as a very intimidating person and he has few friends. Kasanoda, therefore, initially does not talk much, though he can be angered easily. He is most well known for his long red hair and frightening face. Despite his outward appearance and upbringing, however, he tends to be a kind person who enjoys helping others. His classmates have nicknamed him the feared "human blizzard". Haruhi calls him "Casanova" while Tamaki and the Hitachiin twins call him "Bossa Nova."

Kasanoda initially seeks to apprentice under Morinozuka, hoping to become as respected and admired as he. He suffers humiliation at the hands of the Host Club members out of a desire to learn how to make friends and have fun with people. Later experiences concerning a member of his household named Tetsuya show him that there are already people at his home who know his good side; they do not mention it because they know he is kind-hearted and shy and easily embarrassed.

Due to Kasanoda's habit of not knocking before entering a room, he becomes the first person at Ouran High outside the Host Club to discover that Haruhi is a girl. He had a confused crush on her before learning she is a girl and consequently falls in love with Haruhi and attends the Host Club as a customer. When he tries to admit his feelings to Haruhi, he is rejected with no ill intent. She considers him an understanding friend (due to Kasanoda saying she could be at ease because he had come to see her, so Haruhi could talk to someone who knew her secret). Since Kyoya tells Kasanoda that Haruhi must appear to be male for "special reasons," he resolves to not cause her any trouble by publicly stating they will be "friends" forever so she will not have to worry about being thought odd by associating romantically with him. Kasanoda does not realize that the particular reasons consist of Haruhi's debt to the club.

Ever since that incident, though, his desire to have friends is fulfilled when everyone in the Host Club, hosts and customers, agrees to become his friends. He joins the Gardening Society of the school and gifts Haruhi with food he has grown on multiple occasions. In episode 25 of the anime, he is seen surrounded by female students, apparently embarrassed but not angry. He appears in numerous chapters helping the Host Club. In chapter 80 of the manga, Kyoya used both the police and Kasanoda's clan to secure a route to the airport so that Tamaki could arrive on time to meet his mother.

In the volume 18 extras, Kasanoda is shown at the beginning of his romantic relationship with Mei Yasumura, who is informing him (to his astonishment) that Haruhi is pregnant and commanding him to knit something for the baby; his friend Tetsuya Sendo can be seen in the background, cheering him on and voicing his approval of Mei.

A special chapter released in July 2011 in Lala revealed how he met Mei. When he is a first-year undergraduate business student at Ouran University, the twins send Kasanoda to Mei as a replacement model for her fashion show (they were initially the ones who were going to model). They eventually become friends, despite his being initially intimidated by her audacity and argumentative nature (he comments that she seems more like a yakuza than he does, at least in her use of profanity), what he sees as her excessive amounts of makeup, and her style of dressing. She even encourages him at one point to make a move on Haruhi (whom she knows he still has a crush on) while Tamaki is in the United States by showing her his carpentry skills; her reason for doing so is that she feels that he should learn to be confident in himself and what he does. However, she needs him and needs his help, which eventually appeals to him the most, although no romantic relationship is formed at the time. It is implied that it takes a few years for them to finally date, since their entry-level occupations (Mei is a rookie designer, Kasanoda, a florist), rather than their student statuses listed in volume 18 extra about their futures. In volume 18 extra, it is also noted that Kasanoda eventually becomes the manager of a flower shop and the head of the Kasanoda family.

Seika Ayanokoji (綾小路, Seika Ayanokōji) is a student of Class 3-A (and thus Honey and Mori's classmate) who only appears as a minor antagonist in the first chapter of the series. Arrogant and selfish, she is a regular at the Host Club and enjoys getting all six boys' attention. However, this is cut short when Haruhi, as the newest seventh member, becomes the center of attention, even before her revelation as a girl. Ayanokoji degrades Haruhi and throws away her book bag with her wallet in it, which ends up in the fountain in front of the academy. When the Host Club boys learn about this, all six of them ban her from ever stepping inside the Host Club for having insulted one of their own, causing her to run away.

In the live-action TV adaptation, instead of running away dishonorably after her plan is discovered, Ayanokoji is touched by Haruhi's decision to forgive her enough to donate food for the Host Club. The Club boys likewise allow her to keep receiving their services. In the last episode, she also appears to help lift the mood for the Club's second anniversary and convince Shizue Suou that the Club is not a mere "playground."

Kanako Kasugazaki (春日崎 奏子, Kasugazaki Kanako) is the subject of help for the Host Club in episode two of the anime. Initially, Kanako was well known for host-hopping (changing hosts often; the usual practice being for a girl to designate a permanent host). Still, she only did this to spite her fiancé, Tohru Suzushima, into paying attention to her. She was unsuccessful until Tamaki learns of their situation and decides to help. She makes a cameo appearance in episode 13 as the dodo from Alice in Wonderland and is seen waiting for her lost love to come back. In the anime, she is the first person Haruhi ever kisses, by accident, during a ball organized by the Host Club where they executed Tamaki's plan to bring Kanako and Tohru together. She appears in later chapters stating that Tohru is working hard in England and wishing to help Tamaki.

Shirō Takaoji (鷹凰子嗣郎, Takaoji Shirō) is the subject of help for the Host Club in episode 6 of the anime. He is a painfully honest person, first pointing out that one of Tamaki's clients looks like a carp (her lips are thick), next stating that the twins are incestuous, and finally that Haruhi is a cross-dresser. He is in love with a girl in his grade who is moving away and asks to be taught how to make women happy; in his music class, he is supposed to play a duet with the girl he likes but prefers just to hear her play. Tamaki teaches him the song to play together, and the young lovebirds end up corresponding through the mail. In the manga, he is later "loaned" to Kasanoda to make him cuter. He made a cameo appearance in episode 13 as a mouse and appears in the later chapters of the manga complaining that Tamaki had yet to take him to an amusement park. At the end of episode 6, Shirō's pose is a nod to his voice actor's more famous role as the titular character in Naruto.

Ayame Jōnōchi (城之内綾女, Jōnōchi Ayame) is Kyōya's and Tamaki's classmate and the class vice-chairman of 2-A. Ayame becomes Haruhi's tutor when Haruhi fails to rank at the top of her grade. Despite hating Tamaki for his eccentricities and the fact that he is always second in class (Ayame being consistently third after Tamaki comes to Ouran), she has a crush on the Host Club President. Initially, she permed her hair straight, but after Tamaki's advice, she reverted to her natural wavy hairstyle and became a regular at the Host Club. She is known for her ability to speak for a long time in a single breath; as such, her nickname among the club members is "Morse Code Lady." In the anime, her appearances are limited to a cameo in episode 24, when Tamaki introduces himself to her. In the live-action series, in place of Kanako, she is the girl who receives a kiss from Haruhi at the ball.

ميشيل (ミシェル، ميشيرو ) ، أميرة دولة مونارو الأوروبية الخيالية، تقوم بزيارة رسمية لأكاديمية أوران نيابةً عن شقيقها الأكبر، لورانس. تاماكي مستعد لخدمتها ببذخ، جزئيًا بسبب شبهها المزعوم بوالدته. تستغل ميشيل، المدللة، هذا الأمر وتأمر تاماكي وبقية أعضاء نادي الضيافة بمعاملتها باحترام وتقديم الهدايا والخدمات لها. في النهاية، يتضح أنها لم تأتِ إلى اليابان في زيارة رسمية، بل هربت من المنزل احتجاجًا على إهمال شقيقها لها كأخت بسبب انشغاله بإدارة شؤون البلاد. تاماكي، الذي كان يعلم بالأمر منذ البداية، ينصحها بتفهم وضع شقيقها وعدم الأنانية. عندما يقنع لورانس ميشيل بالعودة، تدرك أنه يهتم لأمرها وتعود إلى مونارو.

تُشكّل قصة ميشيل من المانغا محور الفيلم الواقعي الذي عُرض عام ٢٠١٢. كما تزداد شخصيتها تعاطفاً، إذ لا يقتصر هدفها من القدوم إلى اليابان على لفت انتباه أخيها فحسب، بل يشمل أيضاً تعزيز مكانة عائلة مونارو (التي تتخذ من سنغافورة مقراً لها في الفيلم بدلاً من أوروبا)، والتي تعاني من ضائقة مالية، وذلك من خلال إقامة شراكة مع عائلة سوو.

ريكو كانازوكي (伽名月 麗子، Kanazuki Reiko ) طالبة في الصف 1-د، وهي العضوة الأنثى الوحيدة في نادي السحر الأسود الذي يرأسه نيكوزاوا. ليس لديها أصدقاء سوى زملائها في النادي، وهي هادئة ومنطوية للغاية. تدّعي أنها مارست العديد من التعاويذ، بما في ذلك تعويذة تجعل المرء يقع في الحب. مع توطيد علاقتها بأعضاء نادي الضيافة، تبدأ ريكو بالتعلق عاطفيًا بهاني، الذي يكبرها بسنتين. وهي أيضًا من بين أعضاء نادي الضيافة الذين ساعدوا تاماكي على لم شمله مع والدته، آن-صوفي، في الوقت المناسب، وذلك بإقناع والد تاماكي، يوزورو، بالموافقة على خطة نيكوزاوا بالتظاهر بألم في المعدة لتأخير آن-صوفي عن ركوب الطائرة. تُظهر الفصول المنشورة بعد الخاتمة أن ريكو تتزوج هاني بالفعل في المستقبل.

في النسخة التلفزيونية الحية، فإن تجسيد ريكو هو مزيج من دورها الأصلي في المانجا وخادمة عائلة نيكوزاوا، التي تعتني شخصيًا بشقيقة أوميهيتو الصغرى، كيريمي.

تجسد الشخصية: هانا سوجيساكي

ميغومي كانويا (鹿谷 愛، كانويا ميغومي ) فتاة تنتقل من مدرسة أويزوكا في كوبي إلى أكاديمية أوران في فترة رأس السنة. تعيش ميغومي في حالة قطيعة مع والدها، صاحب المطاعم في منطقة كانساي . تلتقي ميغومي بنادي الضيافة خلال فعالية لركوب الخيل، حيث كادت أن تصدمها فرسة لولا مساعدة تاماكي. تقرب هذه الفعالية بينهما، وتصبح ميغومي منافسة لهاروهي في الحب. يزداد الأمر سوءًا مع اكتئاب تاماكي بعد أن كاد يفقد هاروهي في حادثة اختطاف، حيث ينعزل تدريجيًا عن بقية أعضاء نادي الضيافة لصالح ميغومي، بل ويخبر هاروهي أنهما لا يبدو أنهما يشتركان في أي شيء، بينما هو وميغومي يشتركان في الكثير. تنظم هاروهي ونادي الضيافة فعالية لتقييم علاقتهما. في النهاية، يستنتجون أن تاماكي يُخفي حقيقته، وتوبخه هاروهي بشدة ليتوقف عن ذلك لأنه سيدمر نفسه إن فعل. يكشف تاماكي حينها أنه لم ينجذب أبدًا إلى ميغومي، وأنه كان يبحث فقط عن عزاء مؤقت. في الوقت نفسه، تعترف ميغومي لهاروهي بأنها فعلت الشيء نفسه هربًا من مشاكلها العائلية، والتي تُحل سريعًا عندما تُستدعى ميغومي للمصالحة مع والدها. مع ذلك، تخبر هاروهي ميغومي أن والدها وقع في حب تاماكي بصدق لفترة من الزمن، مما أثار غيرتها.

بينيو أماكوسا (天草紅緒، أماكوسا بينيو ) هي رئيسة نادي زوكا . تُلقب بـ"بينيبارا-ساما" في أكاديمية سانت لوبيليا للبنات، وهي الأكثر شعبية بين أعضاء مجلس إدارة نادي زوكا. تُعرف بينيو أيضًا باسم "سيدة الوردة القرمزية"، وهي أول شخصية أنثوية مثلية الجنس تُقدم علنًا في عالم الأنمي. وهي الشخصية الوحيدة التي تُدرك جنس هاروهي، على الرغم من مظهرها المحايد جنسيًا، عند لقائها. يوجد في سانت لوبيليا "نادي حماية بينيبارا-ساما" لضمان عدم تعرضها للمضايقات أثناء تجولها في الحرم الجامعي. لديها قاعدة جماهيرية كبيرة مُخصصة لها، فهي تُغازل الفتيات بنفس سهولة تاماكي، التي تُشاركها سمات شخصية مثل الثقة المفرطة والميل إلى الدراما. في إحدى المرات، تدّعي بينيو أنها تسير على خطى والدتها، التي يُزعم أنها كانت رئيسة سابقة لنادي زوكا. في المانغا، يُكشف أن هذا مجرد خدعة لإظهار حماقة الرجال. تشير بينيو إلى نفسها بضمير المتكلم الياباني " بوكو" ، الذي يستخدمه الذكور في الغالب، مع أن الإناث يزدن من استخدامه.

Chizuru Maihara (舞原千鶴, Maihara Chizuru), also known as "The Lady of the Lily," is the Vice-President of the Zuka Club. She appears to be the calmest member of the club's ruling council, but she never objects to any of the club's plans, instead of assisting and making things worse. Chizuru believes that all men are a lower form of life and finds the Host Club's bewilderment at her immunity to their charms amusing.

The youngest member of the Zuka Club's leading council, Hinako Tsuwabuki (石蕗雛子, Tsuwabuki Hinako), also known as "The Lady of the Daisy," is in her first year of high school at Lobelia Girls' Academy. She is the most energetic of the three girls and, as acknowledged by Chizuru, seems to be very intelligent. Her club tends to bother Haruhi, thinking that she should not wear a boy's uniform, and insist that Haruhi join the Zuka Club.

Ryōji Fujioka (藤岡 涼二, Fujioka Ryōji), Haruhi's father, works at a cross-dressing bar (okama) under the name Ranka (蘭花). He identifies as bisexual, although he said he could never love another woman after his wife's death. In the American dub, his sexual orientation is never stated, but he says that Haruhi's mother did not care that he was a cross-dresser and she was the only one that mattered. In contrast to Haruhi's practicality and lack of interest in material things, he is terrible with money and buys girly clothing for Haruhi, hoping she will dress more cutely. He repacks her suitcase for an overnight trip in episode 8 of the anime, replacing the clothes she had packed with a dress.

Haruhi's stubborn self-reliance causes her father to worry about her a lot; he wants to be more involved in her life and do more for her, but she rarely lets him. However, the two have a loving relationship. While her father would like to be able to take care of Haruhi, it seems that she often has to take care of him instead, as shown in a flashback in which a very young Haruhi refuses to allow him to go to parents' day at her school because she wants him to stay home and rest.

There is a marked similarity between Haruhi's father and Tamaki, upon which several other members of the Host Club have commented. Because of this, and as a result of Tamaki's romantic affection for Haruhi, Ryōuji has stated that he considers Tamaki an enemy and seems to take amusement in picking on him. In volume 18 extra about his future and that of Tamaki's parents, he is seen about to dump a vat of water on Tamaki's head, having been informed by Anne-Sophie that Tamaki was planning to ask for his permission to marry Haruhi. Hatori also noted in the extra that Ryōuji and Tamaki's parents got along very well; she meant to include their relationship in one of the Boston chapters, but the short comic included in the extra seems to take place between the events of the July and August 2011 Lala special chapters, since Haruhi and Tamaki are not engaged in the July 2011 special.

In one of the later extra chapters of the manga, it is shown that Ryōji was very protective of his wife before they started dating, to the point that he quit his job at that time to make sure she was always safe, and he found her to be a very "cool" person. He is described by some of the characters in the anime and manga as prettier than Haruhi, even when she is wearing a dress.

Kotoko Fujioka (藤岡 琴子, Fujioka Kotoko) was Haruhi's mother, who died when her daughter was approximately five years old, as deduced from Haruhi's statement in the first episode that it had been ten years since her mother died. Kotoko was an attorney at law and remains Haruhi's primary role model in life. If how Haruhi recalls her in her memories and dreams is accurate, she was a dedicated and loving mother who wished her family the best. One can assume she was also open-minded to live with and love her husband, Ryoji (aka "Ranka"), not only because of his bisexuality but also because he was six years younger than her. Ryoji states that Kotoko was both beautiful, intelligent, and a closet fan of St. Lobelia's Zuka Club of her day. In later chapters, it is shown that she was popular at law school and, in a later omake, that while she found Ryoji to be strange and annoying, she liked him from the first moment they met as she saw him cute, a trait to which she was vulnerable.

يوزورو سوه (須王 譲، Suō Yuzuru ) هو رب أسرة سوه ورئيس أكاديمية أوران. يبلغ من العمر 48 عامًا، وهو والد تاماكي، ومن هواياته الغولف والمسرح ومداعبة ابنه. على الرغم من علمه بكراهية والدته، شيزوي، لتاماكي، إلا أنه لا يستطيع فعل الكثير لتحسين الوضع. مع ذلك، فقد تمرد على رغبات والدته عدة مرات، أولها عندما طلق المرأة التي اختارتها له والدته ليحافظ على علاقته بوالدة تاماكي، آن صوفي، وأيضًا عندما طرد هو ووالد كيويا، يوشيو، شيزوي من منصبها كرئيسة لعائلة سوه، مما أدخلها في حالة اكتئاب. يتشارك يوزورو بعض صفات ابنه، بما في ذلك طريقة تفكيره الغريبة، ومرحه، وميله إلى ابتكار خطط غريبة تنجح، وميله للجلوس في زاوية كلما طُرد أو سُخر منه. كان الأب مهتمًا جدًا بأنشطة ابنه، ويحزن عندما يرفض تاماكي المشاركة فيها. كان الأب يطمح إلى أن يتفوق تاماكي عليه في القدرات ليرث إمبراطورية سوهو، ويجبر جدته على قبول والدته.

بعد أن يتمكن ابنها من لم شمله مع والدته بعد سنوات، يلتقي يوزورو بشيزوي في قصر سوه في نهاية المسلسل، ويبدأ الاثنان في إصلاح علاقتهما المتوترة. يوافق يوزورو على تعليقات والدته بأن هاروهي فتاة رائعة بعد أن فاجأتهما بانتقادها لقلة تواصلهما. في الإضافات الخاصة بالمجلد 18، يظهر يوزورو في إحدى الإضافات جالسًا حول كوتاتسو مع تاماكي، آن صوفي، وشيزوي، يناقشون الحصول على كوتاتسو كبير بما يكفي لاستيعاب هاروهي وريوجي، بينما يظهر في إضافة أخرى وهو يناقش زواج تاماكي وهاروهي المرتقب مع آن صوفي، ريوجي، وشيزوي.

في الأنمي، تختلف شخصية يوزورو اختلافًا كبيرًا، إذ لم تكن شخصيته الحقيقية قد كُشِف عنها عند عرض الأنمي. فهو بارد وقاسٍ مع تاماكي، ويبدو أنه لا يتقبله كطالب في المدرسة. في نهاية المسلسل، يُجري يوزورو محادثة مع يوشيو يُلمِّح فيها إلى رغبته في أن تصبح هاروهي زوجة تاماكي.

Anne-Sophie de Grantaine (アンヌ＝ソフィー・ド・グランテーヌ, Anne-Sofī do Gurantēnu) is Tamaki's mother. She has blonde hair and violet eyes, traits that her son inherited, and a fondness for many things that Tamaki also has, including piano and an obsession with kotatsu. Anne-Sophie was born in France and met Yuzuru Suoh, Tamaki's father, in Paris while on a business trip. The two fell in love, and she became his mistress. When Tamaki was born, she was forbidden by Yuzuru's mother to return to Japan with him. Anne-Sophie raised Tamaki in France until he was fourteen, about three years before the series's start. Anne-Sophie is often very sick. At the time, Yuzuru's mother was worried that the Suoh family would be without an heir and offered Anne-Sophie money to allow Tamaki to live in Japan, never to see his mother again. Faced with her family's business's failure and debt, Anne-Sophie tearfully accepted, going into hiding after Tamaki's departure. No one knows where she is, though Yuzuru has some idea. During the second-year-of-school trip to France, Kyoya discovers that she is living quite healthily, thinking of her son every day. In chapter 77, they find out that Anne-Sophie suffers from systemic lupus erythematosus.

She has finally reunited with Tamaki thanks to his friends who helped him get to the airport in time for her departure after a brief visit to Japan. Although she returns to France, she is no longer forbidden from seeing Tamaki. In the volume 18 extras, she lives in Japan, with Tamaki managing to get her and his father and grandmother to sit in a kotatsu as he has dreamed since he was young. She is also later seen with her husband, mother-in-law, and Haruhi's father, Ryoji, discussing Tamaki and Haruhi's impending marriage.

In the anime, Anne-Sophie's situation is somewhat different. She works as the housekeeper of the Tonerre family and knows the young heiress, Éclair. She tells young Éclair a lot about Tamaki, which makes the heiress curious about what kind of person he could be; and thus, she goes to Japan to visit him and tells him that if he marries her, she will make sure he is reunited with Anne-Sophie. In the end, the engagement is broken off, and Éclair deems Tamaki a fool, though she still plans for him to reunite with his mother.

In the live-action series, her ethnicity is French/Japanese.

شيزو سوه (須王 静江، Suō Shizue ) هي والدة يوزورو وجدة تاماكي، وهي بمثابة الأم الكبرى ورئيسة عائلة سوه. ظهرت في المسلسل كشخصية معادية رئيسية، وهي المسؤولة عن جلب تاماكي إلى اليابان ومنعه من رؤية والدته مجددًا. تتسم شيزو بالكراهية والغلظة، وهي من بين الأشخاص القلائل الذين تكرههم هاني. تكره تاماكي بشدة لكونه ابن عشيقة ابنها، وتصفه بـ"الطفل القذر". تتسم شيزو بالصرامة والرجعية، وتضع مصلحة عائلة سوه فوق كل شيء. على مدار المسلسل، تُظهر شيزو أيضًا أنها تُخطط لأمور تخص تاماكي ونادي الضيافة. بفضل محامي عائلة سوه، كوساكا، سمحت شيزو أخيرًا لتاماكي بدخول المنزل الرئيسي، على الرغم من أنها لا تزال تتجاهله. فور وصوله، أخبرته كيف أفسد حياة هاروهي فوجيوكا بإجبارها على إخفاء جنسها وخداع المدرسة بأكملها. كما منعته من المشاركة في أنشطة نادي الضيافة، وهو أمر امتثل له تاماكي.

مع انتقالها للعيش في نفس المنزل مع حفيدها، بدأت شيزو تُفتن تدريجيًا بشخصيته الفخمة واللطيفة في آنٍ واحد. أمرها يوزورو بالتقاعد بعد أن اكتشفت شركتاه مع يوشيو أوتوري دواءً لوالدة تاماكي، مما دفعها للانعزال في غرفتها. وبينما كانت تعاني من الاكتئاب، ساعدها تاماكي على استعادة معنوياتها بالعزف على البيانو، ليكتشفا لاحقًا أنهما يتشاركان الكثير من الاهتمامات، مثل الأفلام والمسلسلات التلفزيونية. بعد أن شهدت شيزو مدى حرص نادي الضيافة على أن يرى تاماكي والدته قبل رحيلها، سمحت له بالذهاب بشرط أن يعود للعزف لها. بعد ذلك، سمحت له أيضًا بالعودة إلى النادي، وتقبلت في النهاية علاقته مع هاروهي. ويتجلى ذلك في الفصل 82 عندما أجبرته على ارتداء كيمونو زوجها الراحل ، "زيه الرسمي" قبل موعده مع هاروهي.

Yoshio Ootori (鳳 敬雄, Ōtori Yoshio), Kyoya's father, is the patriarch of the Ootori family. Yoshio is portrayed as a cold, calculating father. Kyōya tries hard to please him to become the family's heir, although his father shows no understanding for his children and has planned out his sons' lives as his successors already. In the manga, he acknowledges Kyoya as a possible successor despite being the third son. In the anime, he states he has already decided Kyoya would inherit Ootori Medical from him (in the manga, he says it is a possibility), only to have his third son buy it and return it to his control without ever revealing his identity. He also wants Haruhi to become Kyoya's wife, although, in the manga, they never cross paths with each other.

Fuyumi Shidou (矢道 芙裕美, Shidō Fuyumi), maiden name Fuyumi Ootori (鳳 芙裕美, Ōtori Fuyumi) is Kyoya's older sister. She cares for her younger brother and tries to help him in life. She is somewhat lacking in the areas of housework and organization as any time she tries to help Kyoya packing clothes, they end up all over the place literally, but she appears to be a kind-hearted person. The manga reveals that she is married but returned home once in a while. She, like Tamaki, also has a thing for "commoner's food."

Mei Yasumura (安村 メイ, Yasumura Mei) is Misuzu Sonoda's ganguro daughter. She only appears in the manga. Mei hates her father for being a cross-dresser, as it was the reason her parents divorced and left her without a good father figure for most of her childhood. Yasumura is her stepfather's surname since Mei's custody was given to her mother after the divorce. Misuzu gets the Fujiokas to keep an eye on his daughter for a while, as she keeps running away from him and refuses to stay at his house. During her stay at the Fujiokas', Haruhi secretly prepares meals for Mei using Misuzu's recipes, such as jam and demiglace sauce, which Tamaki obtains from Misuzu by working part-time at the pension. Mei eventually sees through Tamaki's plan and reconciles with Misuzu by requesting some more of his cooking.

One of Mei's favorite hobbies is creating her fashions, and she loves seeing her clothes on other girls. Mei is so dedicated to this hobby that she is willing to wake up early in the morning to sew a new dress and sometimes gets so carried away that her homework is neglected. When she discovers that Hikaru and Kaoru's mother is the famous designer Yuzuha Hitachiin, Mei persuades Haruhi to accept an invite to the twins' mansion so Mei can meet her idol in person. Yuzuha lives up to Mei's expectations, and together they try to photograph Haruhi wearing cute outfits designed by Yuzuha.

From the moment she saw Tamaki, Mei develops a crush on him and enlists Haruhi's reluctant help to attract his attention. However, she moves out of it when she suspects that Tamaki might be in love with Haruhi and vice versa, and she is the first to notice Haruhi's feelings towards Tamaki. As they become better friends, Mei provides Haruhi with love advice, using a girls' magazine to help Haruhi understand her relationship with Tamaki; her assistance gives Tamaki an advantage over Hikaru in confessing his feelings to Haruhi.

In the chapters published post-epilogue, Mei begins to pursue a relationship with Kasanoda since their first meeting at a fashion show. The Hitachiin twins send Kasanoda as a replacement model for her. When she realizes that Kasanoda still has a crush on Haruhi, Mei advises him to grow closer with her by showing her his carpentry skills, but this ends up making the two attracted to each other instead.

ياسوتشيكا هانينوزوكا (埴之塚 靖睦، هانينوزوكا ياسوتشيكا ) هو الأخ الأصغر لهاني، الذي يُناديه هاني بـ"تشيكا-تشان". غالبًا ما يشعر ياسوتشيكا بأنه مُهمّش من قِبل أخيه الأكبر، وقد نما لديه استياءٌ دائمٌ تجاهه بسبب استمتاعه بالأشياء اللطيفة وتخليه عن رئاسة نادي الكاراتيه. كما أنه يُذهل من كمية الكعك التي يأكلها في ليلة واحدة وسرعة التهامها. طموح ياسوتشيكا الأكبر هو أن يهزم أخاه يومًا ما في قتال. مع ذلك، في النهاية، يهزمه هاني بسهولة، مُفضّلاً ما يُحبه على مشاعر أخيه، الأمر الذي يُثير دهشة موري.

أفضل صديق لياسوتشيكا هو ساتوشي مورينوزوكا، شقيق موري الأصغر، والذي يدرس أيضًا في مدرسة أوران الإعدادية مثله. يبدو كلاهما نقيضًا لأخويهما الأكبر سنًا. مع ذلك، يتضح أن ياسوتشيكا، رغم مظهره، يشبه هاني كثيرًا، فهو يبكي بسهولة ويجمع دمى الكتاكيت اللطيفة وكتب صورها. في الفصول التي نُشرت بعد الخاتمة، يُكشف أن ياسوتشيكا وساتوشي يلتحقان بأكاديمية أوران بعد التخرج، سائرين على خطى أخويهما، ويُغري ساتوشي ياسوتشيكا بالانضمام إلى نادي الضيافة المُعاد تشكيله، والذي أصبح الآن نادي تربية الحيوانات، بوعده بدمى محشوة.

الأداء الصوتي: كي واتانابي (ياباني)؛ آرون ديسموك (إنجليزي)

ساتوشي مورينوزوكا (銛之塚 悟، Morinozuka Satoshi ) هو الأخ الأصغر لموري. وهو قائد نادي الكيندو وعضو في نادي الكاراتيه. يدرس في مدرسة أوران الإعدادية مع ياسوتشيكا. بالمقارنة مع موري، يتميز ساتوشي بكثرة الكلام والمرح. يأخذ دوره كمورينوزوكا على محمل الجد، حتى أنه يضرب ياسوتشيكا بعصا الكيندو عندما يكون وقحًا. خلال إحدى زياراته لنادي الضيافة، أضاف التوأمان صلصة تاباسكو إلى شاي ساتوشي، الذي أعلن أنه لذيذ، مما جعل الشخصيات الأخرى تشك في أن لديه أي حاسة تذوق. على عكس ازدراء ياسوتشيكا لهاني، يعشق ساتوشي موري ويحول انتقادات موري إلى شيء إيجابي إلى حد ما. لا يظهر في الأنمي، وقد ظهر لفترة وجيزة فقط في أحد الفصول الأخيرة من المانغا.

في الإضافات الخاصة بالمجلد 18، يُكشف أن ساتوشي يحاول الحفاظ على نادي الضيافة خلال عام المضيفين في بوسطن للحفاظ على إرث أخيه وتاماكي؛ ويحاول استمالة ياسوتشيكا لمساعدته بوعده بالألعاب. لكنه يضيف الحيوانات لاحقًا، فيتحول نادي الضيافة إلى نادٍ لتربية الحيوانات.

Yuzuha Hitachiin (常陸院 柚葉, Hitachiin Yuzuha) is Hikaru and Kaoru's mother. Hitachiin is her maiden name; she does not change her surname as the Hitachiin carries a higher prestige than her husband, Hayato's (隼). She is a fashion designer who is famous throughout the world. Her sons' mischievous attitude seems to have been inherited from her, in contrast to Hayato's reserved and quiet personality. She eventually employs Mei Yasumura as an assistant fashion designer, a big fan of her, and shares a common fashion sense with her. Post-epilogue, Yuzuha is revealed to have given birth to a third child: a daughter named Ageha.

Kirimi Nekozawa (猫澤 霧美, Nekozawa Kirimi) is Umehito's little sister. She is three years old and has light blonde hair and blue eyes like her brother. As with the rest of the Nekozawa, Kirimi is descended from the Tokarev dynasty line in Russia, but unlike her brother, she does not inherit their family curse, that is, extreme sensitivity to light. She does, however, have fears of darkness and cats, both exact opposites of Umehito, which is troubling since the Nekozawa naturally attracts cats. Kirimi has never met Umehito due to her fear of darkness and his fear of light and only knows about his existence through stories told by her servants and a single portrait in her family mansion that depicts him in a knightly manner. Because of this, she mistakenly assumes Tamaki, who also has blonde hair, as her brother, and he decides to play along with it until Umehito is ready to meet her. Kirimi's servants teach her beyond what is acceptable for her age, with her knowing such terms as harem and debauchery because of her love of shōjo manga.

Because Kirimi cannot face her fear of darkness, the Host Club members have to force Umehito to face his fear of light instead, which they have some success with when he manages to resist flashlights, but not enough to go outside. However, when Kirimi is chased by a cat outdoor, Umehito braves himself to rescue her and reveals his real appearance to Kirimi beneath the black wig and hood, although he immediately collapses shortly after. The two appear to have grown closer afterward when she smiles at Umehito's shy attempt to get her attention through Belzeneff. Later chapters show that Kirimi has also conquered her fear of darkness and begins to tag along with her brother is wearing a hood and being "creepy."

Takeshi Kuze (九瀬 猛, Kuze Takeshi) is the president of Ouran's American football Club, the Ouran Orages (the word comes from the French for "Tempest"), referred to by Tamaki as the most talented of all of Ouran's athletic clubs. Kuze has a long-standing rivalry with Kyoya, despite the fact they were once childhood friends, partly due to Kuze's habit of eating oranges with the rind still on. His family holds the largest share of imported produce in Japan. Kuze and Kyoya's rivalry has results in several battles between the Host Club and the Football Club. For example, there is a battle between them to see who can get the prime space at the school's cultural festival, which is decided by holding a race, which the Host Club wins.

Kazukiyo Sōga (相賀 和清, Sōga Kazukiyo) is the Class President of 1-A, who suffers from nyctophobia (a severe fear of the dark) and anxiety of just about anything scary. He has romantic feelings for Class 1-A's Vice-President Momoka, whom he has known for years, but he is initially too shy to say anything. Hikaru and Kaoru comment that he is the kind of person with pure feelings who they cannot tease, possibly because he is more emotionally vulnerable than Tamaki. In the manga, he unwittingly caused Haruhi trouble with her scholarship when he ranked as the top student of his grade. Volume 6 reveals that his father is a famous politician. In the volume 18 extras, he is seen as a college student, confessing nervously to Momoka as Haruhi and the twins cheer him on from a distance; he and Momoka are also seen in the July 2011 special chapter, as first-year students in the law faculty along with Haruhi (whom they still call Haruhi-kun, despite knowing her gender).

لم تتعرف عليها هاروهي كفتاة في البداية، لكنها اعتقدت أنها حبيبة تاماكي. دفعها هذا إلى محاولة إثارة الخلاف بين هاروهي وتاماكي، ونجحت إلى حد ما. في النهاية، غادر تاماكي إيكلير لإنقاذ حياة هاروهي، لكن ليس قبل أن يترك انطباعًا جيدًا بابتسامته الصادقة وشكرها على السماح له بالرحيل. ثم طلبت من سائقها التوجه إلى المطار بدون تاماكي، مشيرةً إلى روعة تاماكي ونقاء قلبه لأنه ابتسم لها بعد كل ما فعلته. كشفت أن والدة تاماكي تعمل الآن كمدبرة منزل في منزلها، واقترحت أنها قد ترتب له لقاءً مع والدته مرة أخرى.
