Tamaki Suou

須王環

Biography

__Height:__ 183 cm (6’0") Tamaki Suoh is the half-French half-Japanese founder and president of the Ouran High School Host Club. Tamaki is flamboyant, emotional, and narcissistic; however, he is extremely dedicated to his duties as a host. He is the “prince” host type, who can charm any girl with sweet talk, though he is always truthful in his compliments. To him, all girls are pretty, and the happiness of his guest is his greatest enjoyment. Tamaki acts as the main comic relief in the series, exemplified in his extremely dense and naïve approach to his own feelings, and extreme emotional reactions to Haruhi’s comments about his stupidity. He has a family complex, as he asks Haruhi to call him “Daddy” and refers to Kyoya as “Mommy”. He is shown to be partial to classical piano music and plays extremely well; one of his favorite pieces being Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major. ~!Tamaki's full name is Rene Tamaki Richard Grantaine. His father, the superintendent of Ouran Academy, fell in love with Tamaki’s French mother and divorced his first wife to marry her. For that reason, Tamaki’s paternal grandmother harbors a strong hatred towards Tamaki. Nevertheless, he is constantly trying to get her to accept him as part of the Suoh family. Because of his family situation, Tamaki sees the Host Club as one big family and tries to maintain that illusion, to the extent of telling himself that his love for Haruhi is fatherly even when it is clearly not. Later in the manga, Tamaki has been close to Haruhi even though he says it's almost like a father, but he says to Kanoya (who has been said to seem like Haruhi) while in a game that he says the reason why he hasn't been cheerful is because of his stricken love for Haruhi.!~
