Kunikida

A reserved student at North High, this tenth or eleventh grader serves as a quiet counterpart to the more talkative Taniguchi. Having attended junior high with Kyon, he possesses a deeper insight into his friend's past, even noting Kyon's peculiar taste in girls-a hint toward his interest in Haruhi Suzumiya. While he maintains a low profile, rumors suggest he harbors secret romantic feelings for Tsuruya.
