[edit] Character
Mori is also a third-year student of the school and is the tallest, most silent member of the club. Despite the fact that he rarely speaks or smiles, his tall, tanned, and handsome figure earns him many customers. According to Kyouya, "his taciturnity is his selling point," and many of his admirers are the more introverted and serious girls at Ouran. He is labeled the "wild type" host. Because Mori acts largely on his instincts, this label fits him rather well. Additionally, Mori is the Japanese national champion in kendo.
Moreover, Mori is Hunny's cousin. The Morinozuka family had protected the Haninozuka family for many generations. As the two families were joined by marriage two generations ago, the families became related to each other, thus breaking the master-servant tradition. Nevertheless, Mori still faithfully protects Hunny and is always by his side, attending to his wishes and watching out for him. In many ways, he is like a devoted big brother. However, Mori doesn't spoil his cousin. During the time when Hunny had a toothache, he was the first to get Tamaki to impose a ban on sweets in the Host Club. He often becomes clumsy when feeling distressed. At other times Mori will needlessly baby Hunny for something as minor as a scratch or trip.
Generally, Mori doesn't seem to express any emotion. He doesn't appear to care what anyone thinks of him unless it upsets Hunny; that's when Mori starts acting truly strange and defensive. The only other time he reacts to someone is when Umehito Nekozawa puts him in a sticky situation.
In the manga, he has a younger brother, Satoshi (悟?), who is a friend of Hunny's brother and his cousin. Satoshi has the complete opposite personality of his elder brother, being very lively and cheerful. However, like Takashi, Satoshi has a strong sense of loyalty towards the Haninozukas, and he frequently hits Hunny's brother on the head whenever he feels that his cousin is being rude or disrespectful.
In contrast to Hunny, who is bad-tempered when he wakes up, Mori becomes uncharacteristically gregarious and friendly when he is tired (even a little flirtatious) which frightens the other hosts. Also, after taking a nap, he usually forgets what he has done while he's tired.
Mori also has a pet bird named "Piyo-chan", and took care of a small tanuki in one of the more recent chapters.
Unlike most of the characters, who wear their tie tight like normal, he wears it loose.
