Kyouya Ootori, a second-year student at Ouran Academy, serves as the vice-president of the Host Club. Though Tamaki Suoh is the club's president, Kyouya is the true driving force behind its operations, often referred to as the "Shadow King." He manages the club's finances and has been known to sell items belonging to the members for profit. His motto, "use whatever is at hand, be it friend or foe," reflects his pragmatic approach. Despite his often self-serving actions, he occasionally shows a more selfless side. As the third son in a wealthy and influential family, Kyouya must work exceptionally hard to meet his father's high standards if he wishes to take over the family business. Known for his grumpy morning demeanor, he has earned the nickname "Low-Blood Pressure Evil Lord."
Although Kyouya is Tamaki's opposite, he supports him in critical situations. For instance, in episode 8, when Haruhi tried to save girls from molesters by throwing shells at them, she was thrown off a small cliff. Tamaki rescued her but later scolded her for getting involved, stating that girls shouldn't fight boys. Haruhi argued that gender doesn't matter in real-world confrontations. Later, she encountered Kyouya in his room at the villa where they were staying. He threw her onto his bed and attempted to assault her. Haruhi reasoned that he wouldn’t go through with it because it wouldn’t benefit him. He backed off, revealing his intention was to show her that she couldn't always win every fight, reinforcing Tamaki’s point about the dangers of intervening.
