[edit] Character

Mitsukuni is the Host Club's "Loli-shōta" host and always goes by the nickname "Hunny"; In the Japanese versions his nickname is romanized as "Hunny" (ハニー Hanī- a shortened version of his name). Despite the fact that he looks like a 10-year-old and always carries a stuffed toy bunny named Usa-chan (Bun-Bun in English) with him, Hunny is a senior in Ouran High School and the club's oldest, most "experienced" member. His customers love his adorable and charming behaviour. Indeed, he often calls everyone by affectionate nicknames like "Haru-chan" for Haruhi, "Tama-chan" for Tamaki, "Hika-chan" for Hikaru, "Kao-chan" for Kaoru, and "Kyo-chan" for Kyoya. The only exception is Takashi Morinozuka, who Hunny calls by his first name of "Takashi", and vice-versa. As cute and defenseless as Hunny looks, he comes from a prestigious, martial arts family who trains most of Japan and other nations' elite guards. He is, however, not without weakness. Other than an obsession for candy, he also appears to be claustrophobic as seen by his panic when attempting to use Haruhi's 'small' bathroom in volume three of the manga and his failed attempt to scare Haruhi in the dark transport container in episode 8 of the anime.

Before the founding of the Host Club, Hunny was the captain per of the school's Karate Club, and did his best to seem strict and tough in order to please his father. However, when Tamaki approached him about starting the Host Club and expressed the opinion that being true to one's self is a stronger path than living a lie, Hunny chose to leave the karate club and join the Host Club instead. His decision greatly dismayed his younger brother Yasuchika (nicknamed Chika), who is disturbed by Hunny's childish ways to the point that he thinks Honey might be an alien. Yasuchika, who succeeded Honey as captain of the karate club, periodically challenges Hunny to duelling matches, which he uses as a means of learning from Hunny and improving on his techniques. Sadly, it becomes apparent that Honey's love for sweets proves to overpower his love for his own brother. However, he does have a mature side, as seen when Kaoru confessed to him that he has a crush on Haruhi, after Hunny had spotted the tell-tale signs for himself.

In light of Hunny's martial arts prowess, some rumours have been spread about him amongst the members of the club. One such story involves an alleged international incident between Japan and the United States which occurred as a result of Hunny being woken up from his daily afternoon nap on a "training" holiday, causing an explosion resembling his stuffed animal (Usa-chan), wiping out two United States Green Beret guard platoons instantly. Haruhi dismissed this as rubbish only to be convinced when it is revealed that Hunny's blood type (AB) is the same as Kyoya. Honey also wakes up in a bad mood but unlike Kyoya, Hunny tends to wake up early.

Hunny is noted for resembling Momiji Sohma from Fruits Basket, as they both have blond hair and brown eyes, have childish personalities, appear much younger than they are, and share a relation to rabbits. They are also voiced by the same seiyū.

Hunny was once described by the author as "so insanely cute and charming that it's almost a crime".

He has another side to him, the aptly named "Dark Mode Hunny". A meaner, sarcastic, selfish version of his normal self. Though he still keeps his bunny with him, he places a pair of sunglasses over its eyes to give it a "badder" look.
