Kaoru Hitachiin

Kaoru Hitachiin is one of the main characters from the Ouran High School Host Club series.
== Charactah Account ==
Kaoru Hitachiin is a devious and childish first-year student who greatly enjoys toying with his fellow Host Club members, Haruhi and Tamaki (whom he often calls "My Lord"). He and his older identical twin, Hikaru, are "little devil" type hosts who put on an act of "forbidden brotherly love" (with Kaoru as the uke) to draw in their clients. Unlike Tamaki, the Hitachiin brothers are wholly calculating in their customer relations; however, this is because of their deep dependency of each other and a reluctance to let anyone into their world. Hikaru and Kaoru share a deep emotional bond, which was forged through a lonely childhood and through the fact that no one could tell them apart without looking at the parting of their hair (Hikaru's hair parts to the right; Kaoru's parts to the left). Since Haruhi is the first person that can truthfully tell them apart, they greatly treasure her friendship. Haruhi has stated that Hikaru and Kaoru have their differences, despite being identical twins. Of the two, Kaoru is nicer, more mature, and considerate of others.

== Trivia ==
* The manga and anime depict Hikaru and Kaoru's relationship as two plants growing from a single seed. Later, in recognition of their increasing individuation, two huge flowers of identical type bloom in different colors.
* Kaoru often turns to Honey for advice after an upset with Hikaru, whereas his twin seeks comfort from Mori.
* The Hitachiin twins share the same birthday as the Kurusu twins (from Uta no Prince-Sama).
* Like the other Hosts, Kaoru's phone matches his rose color, which is coral pink/orange.
* Kaoru's seiyuu in the Drama CD's voiced Hikaru in the anime.
* After Hikaru dyes his hair in the manga, the visible differences between the twins increase. Hikaru starts to wear clothing with bolder patterns while Kaoru opts for more classic outfits and, in the chapter title pages, Hikaru is usually drawn with angry eyebrows and an open mouth while Kaoru maintains a calm smile.
* Both Kaoru and Hikaru are right-handed.
* Early in the manga, Kaoru is acknowledged as a "handsome homosexual" by Bisco Hatori; however, she also admits that she changed direction on many things throughout the progress of the series, as shown when Kaoru shows interest in Haruhi.
* Kaoru is said to be 10% less evil than Hikaru.
