Kyoya Ootori
The true manager of the club, Kyoya Ootori, is shown to be calculating, knowledgeable, and scheming, although not a bad person.
He is from a very powerful big-business family that deals predominantly in medicine, and secretly feels slightly overshadowed by his older brothers, who he knows are far more likely to one day inherit the company instead of him. However, despite the circumstances, he does have great confidence in his own abilities and finds the situation to be more of an interesting game than a roadblock.
He does all the financial and planning aspects of the Host Club, from managing budgets to selling off merchandise.
His manner towards clients is very pleasant and civil, and is said to be "the cool type." As a complete foil to Tamaki, even in appearance, he often realizes things Tamaki or the others are too naive to understand (and usually keeps the information to himself for his own amusement), and is the "Mom" to the father figure of Tamaki.
Kyoya has short, black hair, usually styled into a smart/casual look. He is thin, five feet, ten inches tall (five foot, eleven in the anime), and wears slim, rimless glasses which seem to flash when he's scheming, angry, or secretly frightened. His fashion sense is not as intellectual as his character may suggest, his entire wardrobe is full of designer wear. He's most often seen in jeans and designer tops when he isn't in his school uniform, and he seems to have a preference for darker clothes. His eyes are a grey/black colour. Kyoya is always dressed well, usually pulling off a smart/casual look without fault.
In the club, Kyoya is the "cool" type. He is calm, logical, and has superior intelligence. He also can come across as rather detatched, and sometimes threatening when he wants to. He normally won't do anything that doesn't have any benefit for him, however Haruhi has wondered if maybe he wishes to gain something intangible from his relationship with his friends. He is actually rather a softie when it comes to Tamaki, giving him more free reign when it comes to what he wants to do with the club. He feels a sort of kinship to Haruhi and idly chats with her often, since they are both very level-headed people. It is told later in the series that he may have a crush on her, but it is revealed that he only acknowledge her, but isn't interested in her, when Tamaki confesses to her, he supported him, showing that he is good-natured and cares for his friends, despite being cool and rational.
He is considered the "Shadow King" of the Host Club by Haruhi, controlling all aspects of it while still being only second-in-command. He also considers himself an egoist, despite the fact that he isn't. He is quite mature compared to the other hosts.
