History:

This history concentrates on the anime version as that's where I'll be taking Hunny (his nickname aka Honey) from.

Hunny is a member of the Ouran High School Host Club - a club that pampers young ladies (and occassionally gentlemen) from the same school by keeping them company and entertaining them, sometimes in mock-romantic ways. In Hunny's case this usually just means eating cake and being adorably cute.

Ouran focuses mainly on Haruhi - the girl who stumbles by accident into the Host Club and becomes one of them - so Hunny is a supporting character, mostly in the background but he does have a couple of episodes where the focus is more on him, usually along with his cousin Takashi Morinozuka. He's very close with Takashi aka Mori (only Hunny calls him by his full first name). Their families have a history as masters/servants until more recent relatives married. Mori and Hunny are like very best friends and are practically inseperable. Hunny often rides on the much taller Mori's shoulders and Mori does anything he can for Hunny.

He has a younger brother Yasuchika (Chika for short) who is taller than him and wears glasses. Whenever they meet they have to fight (martial arts-style), as per the family tradition. Hunny gave up being captain of the Karate Club to join the Host Club, so he could be himself and enjoy cute things instead of trying to live up to his family's ideal of masculinity. Chika thinks he's an alien as Hunny can eat three full cakes in a night...

He was a karate and judo champion but will not use these skills against most people unless he's directly challenged or has to protect himself (and possibly others). An incredible martial artist - he's regarded as a "deadly weapon" and can easily take down a group of armed soldiers with just his hands and feet.

As mentioned, his family - the Haninozukas - are rich and very respected as master martial artists and it was thought that Hunny would follow in the family footsteps as the head of the family and so he was brought up to be tough and manly. But he was unhappy this way, stifling his love of cakes and cute things. Host Club founder Tamaki convinced him that he could be himself and enjoy what he loved by joining the Host Club.

The Hunny-centric episodes focus on a time Hunny had a cavity and couldn't eat any sweets. The others had to stop him eating anything that would aggravate the tooth more and Hunny was furious for much of the episode. The other ep centered around him and Chika and the few martial arts rivalry matches they have when they meet - Hunny proving triumphant in the end.

Day to day activities of the Club are covered in most other episodes with much general wackiness.


Personality:

Despite actually being about eighteen years old - and the oldest of the Host Club group - Hunny is like a five year old child at most times. From his appearance - his small stature and wide eyes making him look no older than ten and usually much younger - to his actions and likes. He adores cake and sweets to an obsessive degree and loves cute things. A time when he had a toothache and was forbidden to eat anything sweet he became exceptionally cranky and even a little conniving, trying to get people to give him candy. He carries with him a pink toy rabbit named Bun-Bun which his grandmother made and he is rarely seen without it clutched in his arms or at least nearby.

He generally has a cheerful personality - unless he's crossed or is mad, where he can scare people with just a look. Beware waking him up! Hunny can be very emotional - ranging from the aformentioned anger or enthusiasm for cake to crying easily if something doesn't go right or if somebody else is sad. He also gets jealous if it seems somebody is taking his place or role in the club. He can be a litle manipulative when this happens - such as dressing in things to make him appear even cuter so he'll keep the attention. In general, though, he is bouncy and happy.

He has a tendancy to shorten most people's names - probably to make them cuter. Or to call them by the more familiar Japanese terms (e.g. Haruhi = Haru-chan). The exception is Mori - both of them use each other's full first names.

He's smarter and more thoughtful than he acts. He must be fairly observant as he was one of the first to notice Haruhi was a girl, not a boy. He does well at school and cares for people - although if you make him choose between something and cakes, he'll likely choose the cake.

First Person (entry type):

Hi, everybody of the ducks!

I need to ask a favour and if you can help you can join in the party! You see, Tama-chan is all gloomy in the corner because Haru-chan is super busy with schoolwork and hasn't been around so much and Takashi and I were thinking we should put on a fun party with lots of cake to cheer him up! Isn't that a good idea? I think it is. So what do we need from you?

Everybody should bake a cake! Because you can never have too many cakes and it's a party! If you can't make cakes then maybe some sticky toffee or blow up some balloons 'cause we'll need them too!

Okay? Okay! So leave me a message here and I'll pick up all the cakes next week!


Third Person:

There was a small crowd of admiring girls sitting around a small table and all looking starry-eyed at one small boy with a huge cake, a spoon and a pink stuffed rabbit. Hunny barely noticed them and their sighs and squeals whenever he did something cute. He was focused partly on the angel cake - which was filled with cream and lined with strawberries stuck into the icing - and partly his attention was on his toy bunny, Bun-Bun. His two favourite things in the world. He grinned at Bun-Bun, stuck the spoon into the side of the cake and scooped out a large slice. He pressed it to the bunny's face then gobbled up the rest in a flash.

"Mmm, isn't that good?" He spoke aloud, but seemingly more for the toy's benefit rather than the observing girls. "Want some more, Bun-Bun? Yes? Okay then!" And another mouthful disappeared. He savoured it. He could never get sick of cake. The thought of a world without cake suddenly popped into his head and imagining it his lip trembled and his eyes welled up with tears. It was a terrible thought! Then his eye caught the cake before him again and he brightened. "But we still have this cake, don't we! Yay!" The imagined crisis is swiftly averted...
